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: How many cards does this Chanel Matelassé Caviar Card Holder hold comfortably? A: It is designed with four external card slots and a central compartment. Most users find it holds around 4–6 standard cards comfortably (one per outer slot and 2–3 in the centre) without overstretching the leather.
Q: Can it carry cash or coins? A: Folded banknotes fit in the central compartment. It is not intended for coins; if you carry coins regularly, a zipped coin purse is a better option.
Q: What are the measurements and how compact is it? A: Approx. 11 × 7.5 × 2 cm. The slim profile slips easily into coat pockets and most small handbags without adding bulk.
Q: Is Chanel caviar leather durable for daily use? A: Yes. Caviar is grained calfskin that is generally more scratch‑resistant and shape‑holding than lambskin, making it a popular choice for everyday small leather goods.
Q: How should I care for caviar leather on this piece? A: Wipe with a soft, dry cloth after use, keep away from oils and harsh cleaners, avoid prolonged heat or direct sunlight, and do not overfill the slots to prevent stretching. Store it lightly filled in its box or a breathable dust bag. Lighter colours can be prone to colour transfer from dark denim; black is more forgiving but still avoid friction with abrasive fabrics.
Q: Does it have RFID blocking? A: No, Chanel card holders do not include a dedicated RFID‑blocking layer. If you require shielding for contactless cards, consider an RFID sleeve.
Q: What comes with this specific pre‑owned item? A: This piece includes the box and a serial number tag. Everything included is always listed under Accessories on this page; if an item such as a dust bag or authenticity card is not listed, it is not included.
Q: Does Chanel still provide authenticity cards for card holders? A: Chanel has phased out authenticity cards in recent years and moved to an internal microchip/metal plate system on many items. Inclusions vary by production year; please refer to the Accessories section for what accompanies this item.
Q: Is “Made in Spain” normal for Chanel card holders? A: Yes. Authentic Chanel small leather goods are produced in France, Italy and Spain, so a Spanish origin stamp is expected on many genuine pieces.
Q: Will stacked contactless cards interfere with each other? A: As with most slim card holders, keeping multiple contactless cards together can confuse some readers. Separate them in different slots or remove the card you intend to use when tapping.
