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 the Chanel Boy Caviar Card Holder comfortably hold? A: It features four external card slots and one central compartment. For day‑to‑day use, we recommend one card per external slot and one to two in the centre (around 4–6 cards total) to avoid stretching. Some users report fitting more, but overfilling can loosen the leather over time.
Q: Can it hold cash or coins as well as cards? A: Yes, folded banknotes can be stored in the central compartment. Loose coins are not recommended as this is an open pocket and coins may fall out; a separate coin pouch is better for change.
Q: What are the dimensions and will it fit in small bags or pockets? A: Approx. 11 × 7.5 × 0.5 cm. This slim profile slides easily into mini bags, clutches and most jacket or trouser pockets without adding bulk. Exact measurements are listed on this page for reference.
Q: What is Chanel caviar leather and how should I care for it? A: Caviar is grained calfskin prized for its durability and scratch resistance. To care for it, wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth, keep it away from moisture and colour transfer, avoid overfilling, and store it in a breathable dust bag when not in use. Prolonged exposure to direct heat or sunlight should be avoided.
Q: Will the card slots loosen with use? A: Natural leather relaxes slightly over time. Using one card per slot and avoiding overstuffing helps maintain the slot tension and the holder’s shape. Rotating which cards sit in tighter slots also prevents uneven stretching.
Q: Does this card holder have RFID protection? A: Chanel does not advertise RFID‑blocking for this style. If RFID shielding is important to you, consider using slim RFID sleeves for individual cards. Security experts also note that contactless skimming risk is relatively low in everyday life.
Q: What does the serial number 29724665 indicate? A: This is a 29‑series code, typically associated with around 2020 production for Chanel small leather goods. Serial numbers help date a piece approximately but do not specify exact months or factories.
Q: Where was this piece made and does country of origin affect quality? A: This item is stamped Made in Spain. Chanel produces small leather goods in Italy and Spain as well as France, and all are held to the same house standards for materials and craftsmanship, so origin does not imply a quality difference.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: This card holder comes with a serial number tag as listed under Accessories. If an item (such as a box or dust bag) is not listed there, it is not included—please contact us if you need any clarification.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this Chanel piece? A: Every item is assessed by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and serials. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to provide additional photos or details on request.
