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 dimensions and strap drop of this Timeless Wallet on Chain? A: Approximately W 19.2 × H 12.5 × D 3.5 cm with an around 60 cm chain drop (about 24 inches). Please refer to the Measurements on this page for this specific piece.
Q: What typically fits inside a Chanel Wallet on Chain? A: The refined essentials: a large smartphone (case thickness can affect fit), slim key pouch or single key, lipstick, folded notes and coins. Using the built‑in card slots instead of a separate wallet maximises space. Avoid bulky items to preserve the slim profile.
Q: Will it fit a large smartphone such as an iPhone Pro Max? A: Many owners report that the largest phones can be a tight fit or may not fit comfortably, especially with a thicker case. Standard‑size phones usually fit; angling the phone can help. Compare your device to the interior width and depth and consider removing a rigid case if needed.
Q: How is the interior laid out? A: The classic WOC layout includes six card slots, a main open compartment, additional slip sections and at least one zipped pocket, plus a slim back slip pocket for tickets or receipts. Exact layouts can vary slightly by season and edition.
Q: Is the chain strap adjustable or removable? A: The chain is non‑removable and not designed to be adjustable. It can be worn crossbody or on the shoulder; you can also shorten the drop by doubling the chain or tucking part of it inside, or wear it as a clutch with the chain fully tucked in. If you use third‑party shorteners, choose smooth hardware to avoid marking the leather or metal.
Q: What type of closure does this model use? A: This Timeless WOC closes with a press‑stud (snap) under the flap, as stated in the product information.
Q: What does the serial number 21867481 indicate? A: It falls within Chanel’s 21‑series, dating to approximately 2015–2016. Serial ranges help estimate production period but are not proof of authenticity by themselves.
Q: How durable is caviar leather and how should I care for it? A: Chanel’s grained caviar calfskin is known for its excellent day‑to‑day durability. Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth; avoid harsh cleaners. Protect from prolonged sunlight and humidity. Store upright in a breathable pouch, loosely stuffed to keep shape, with the chain wrapped to prevent imprints. Avoid overfilling to preserve the silhouette.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information section. For this piece, a serial number tag is included. Items such as a dust bag, box or authenticity card are only included if explicitly stated there.
Q: How does the Timeless WOC differ from other WOC styles? A: Timeless features classic diamond quilting and a CC logo on the flap. Other WOC variants (such as the Boy, 2.55/Reissue or Trendy CC) differ mainly in quilting patterns, logo hardware and flap details, but overall size and multi‑way wear remain broadly similar.
