Perfect for back-to-office days and weekend city strolls, this vintage Chanel Petite CC Timeless Shopping Tote in beige quilted caviar leather with silver-tone hardware sits comfortably on the shoulder via dual leather-and-chain straps, while a central zipped section and two open compartments keep essentials neatly organised.
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: Is the Chanel Petite CC Timeless Shopping Tote still produced by Chanel? A: No. The Timeless Shopping Tote family, including the petite size, is no longer in current Chanel production and is now found on the pre‑owned market. Availability, colours and hardware options therefore vary by piece and year.
Q: How does this Petite CC Timeless compare to the PST and GST totes? A: The Petite Timeless Tote (often called PTT) is the more compact member of Chanel’s classic shopping totes. Unlike many PST/GST styles that are largely open at the top, this Timeless Tote layout features an open tote silhouette with a central zipped divider that creates three sections, offering extra organisation and a bit more security.
Q: What fits inside this bag? A: With approximate measurements of 31 × 20 × 12 cm, it comfortably holds a long wallet, smartphone, keys, sunglasses case, small cosmetics pouch, a compact notebook, and a small tablet (e.g., iPad mini/11-inch class) or e‑reader. A4 documents and most 13‑inch laptops are generally too tall to fit neatly; they may need to be folded or will protrude from the opening.
Q: Can it be worn on the shoulder or crossbody? A: It is designed as a shoulder bag with dual leather‑and‑chain straps. The strap drop is about 23 cm, which sits well on the shoulder over light layers. It is not intended for crossbody wear and does not include long crossbody straps.
Q: How is the interior organised? A: The bag has a fabric‑lined interior divided into three sections by a central zipped compartment, flanked by two open compartments. This makes it easy to separate daily essentials like a wallet, phone and cosmetics pouch.
Q: Is caviar leather durable for everyday use? A: Yes. Chanel’s caviar leather is a grained calfskin known for its sturdy, textured finish that resists light scratches and holds its shape well with normal use—ideal for a daily tote.
Q: How should I care for beige caviar leather and silver‑tone hardware? A: Wipe the leather gently with a soft, dry, lint‑free cloth. Keep away from moisture, oils and harsh cleaners, and minimise contact with dark denim or richly dyed fabrics to reduce colour transfer. Store stuffed to maintain shape, with chains tucked inside, in a cool, dry place. For hardware, use a non‑abrasive polishing cloth sparingly, avoiding contact with the leather.
Q: Is this item authentic and what does the serial number indicate? A: Every piece at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by in‑house experts. This bag carries serial number 14452603, part of the early‑2010s 14‑series, which helps date the production period. Serial numbers are one of several checkpoints used in our multi‑point authentication process.
Q: What accessories are included with this bag? A: Everything included is listed on this page. For this item, a serial number tag is included. If an accessory such as an authenticity card, dust bag or box is not listed, it is not included.
Q: What should I know about the condition of this specific piece? A: The exterior is in good condition with scuffing at the corners and signs of use on the straps; the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. Inside, there is loose stitching and some marks on the lining. Please review the photographs to assess wear consistent with a vintage, pre‑loved bag.
