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 typically fits inside the Chanel Wallet On Chain (WOC)? A: With approximate measurements of 20 × 12 × 4 cm, this WOC is designed for essentials: a large smartphone, cardholder or compact wallet, keys, lipstick, AirPods and a small cosmetics item. Full-length (continental) wallets and small tablets generally do not fit comfortably due to the slim profile. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for this exact piece.
Q: Can I wear it crossbody, and is the chain strap adjustable? A: Yes, it’s intended for shoulder or crossbody wear. The strap is not adjustable; the drop is approximately 60 cm on this item. You can tuck the chain inside to carry it as a clutch or double the chain inside for a shorter shoulder carry.
Q: What is the closure and interior layout like? A: This model features a flap with a snap-button closure. Inside, WOCs typically offer a main compartment, a zipped coin pocket, six card slots and one or more slip pockets, plus an exterior back slip pocket for quick-access items. Our listing photos show the exact configuration of this piece.
Q: How should I care for Chanel patent leather? A: Patent leather has a glossy varnished finish that can be prone to colour transfer (e.g., from dark denim) and stickiness if exposed to heat or humidity. Keep it away from prolonged contact with dark fabrics, direct sunlight and high heat. Wipe gently with a soft, dry, non‑pilling cloth—avoid harsh cleaners or solvents. For storage, stuff the bag lightly, keep it upright in a breathable dust bag, and wrap or pad the chain to prevent imprints on the leather.
Q: What fits in the card slots and zipped pocket? A: The six card slots hold standard bank/ID cards. The interior zipped pocket is ideal for coins and small valuables. For travel, many owners use the zipped pocket for folded notes and the main compartment for a phone and key fob to keep the silhouette slim.
Q: What era is this vintage piece from? A: This bag carries a serial number beginning with 14 (serial: 14667835), which generally places it in the early 2010s era. It is labelled Made in France. If you’d like a more precise dating assessment, just ask and we’ll provide additional close-up photos.
Q: Is the hardware durable? Will it show scratches? A: Chanel hardware is designed for everyday use but can develop hairline scratches with normal wear, especially on glossy finishes. This item’s hardware is silver-tone and is described as shiny with scratches and some discolouration—please review our photos for close-ups. During storage, pad the chain and avoid friction against the patent leather to minimise marks.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under “Accessories.” For this piece, we note the internal serial number tag. If a dust bag, box or authenticity card is not mentioned there, it is not included—feel free to contact us for confirmation.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous, multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts, reviewing materials, stitching, hardware, brand stamps, serial sticker format and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide additional photos or details on request.
Q: Can Chanel repair or service the WOC? A: Chanel offers care and repair services subject to boutique assessment and parts availability. Lead times and costs vary by region and model. Independent luxury leather specialists can also assist with cleaning and restoration. We’re happy to advise on typical options and help you prepare for a boutique assessment.
