Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: What are the measurements and how does this compare to Chanel’s O Case sizes? A: This pouch measures approximately 23 × 17 × 1.5 cm (about 9.1 × 6.7 × 0.6 in). These measurements align with Chanel’s medium zipped pouch often referred to as the O Case, making it a versatile size for day-to-night use as a clutch or organiser inside a larger bag.
Q: What typically fits inside at this size? A: A large smartphone, slim cardholder or compact wallet, passport, keys, and a few small cosmetics (lipstick, blotting papers) fit comfortably. Due to the slim 1.5 cm profile, avoid bulky items or overfilling. Small tablets and e‑readers generally do not fit.
Q: Does it come with a strap or any way to wear it crossbody? A: No. This is a handheld zipped pouch without D‑rings or a chain. We do not recommend attaching third‑party chains to the zip pull, as this can stress the hardware and leather.
Q: What does the serial number 19514059 indicate? A: The 19‑series serial (19XXXXXX) dates the piece to approximately 2014–2015. As a pre‑2021 item, it features a traditional serial sticker rather than the newer microchip plate system. Note that a matching serial alone is not proof of authenticity; our team authenticates each item using multiple checkpoints.
Q: What is Chanel caviar leather and how durable is it? A: Chanel’s caviar is a grained calfskin with a pebbled texture designed to be more resistant to surface scratches and to hold its structure well over time. It is generally considered lower‑maintenance than lambskin whilst still looking polished for everyday use.
Q: How should I care for this pouch? A: Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth and avoid harsh cleaners or conditioners. Keep away from prolonged sunlight and moisture; if it gets wet, dab dry with a lint‑free cloth. Store it in a breathable dust bag with light stuffing to maintain shape, and avoid overfilling to minimise stress on the zip and corners.
Q: What are the included accessories? A: This item comes with the serial number tag. Unless listed under Accessories, items such as an authenticity card, box, or dust bag are not included. Please check this page’s Accessories section for the complete list.
Q: How do you authenticate this pouch? A: Every piece at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous multi‑point checks by our in‑house experts, including inspection of materials and quilting, stitching, hardware and engraving, logo stamps, serial labels, and construction details. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can share additional photos or details on request.
