Perfect for city days that flow into dinner, this black quilted Chanel Button Up Hobo adds effortless polish. Gold‑tone accents and a comfortable shoulder strap suit gallery visits, meetings and theatre nights, while the burgundy‑lined interior keeps essentials organised—a refined choice for everyday to evening.
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 big is the Chanel Button Up Hobo and how does it wear? A: Approximate measurements are 25 × 20 × 9 cm with a 19 cm handle drop and an adjustable shoulder strap around 40 cm. It’s best worn on the shoulder; the strap length is typically not long enough for most people to wear crossbody.
Q: What typically fits inside this bag? A: Daily essentials such as a smartphone, compact wallet, keys, sunglasses, a small cosmetic pouch and a passport fit comfortably. A slim e‑reader or small notebook can fit; an A4 document will not. Capacity depends on how you organise items—please refer to the Measurements above for exact dimensions.
Q: What are the key features of this model? A: Quilted black leather with red fabric trim, gold‑tone hardware and a CC turn‑lock closure. It has a single shoulder strap with chain‑link and leather details and a burgundy fabric interior with one internal pocket, making it a stylish yet practical everyday hobo.
Q: Is the strap adjustable and comfortable on the shoulder? A: Yes, the shoulder strap is adjustable (around 40 cm). The leather‑and‑chain design provides a comfortable shoulder carry while adding classic Chanel styling.
Q: Is this a current boutique style? A: The Button Up Hobo is a past‑season Chanel design and is generally found on the pre‑owned market today. Chanel continues to release new hobo silhouettes each season, but this specific configuration is not a standard current‑season piece.
Q: What does the serial number 26390389 indicate? A: Chanel 26‑series serial numbers correspond to bags produced around 2018–2019. This aligns with the Button Up Hobo’s appearance in that period and places it in the late Karl Lagerfeld era at Chanel.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under product information. For this piece, a serial number tag is included. If an item such as a dust bag or authenticity card is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: Is the gold‑tone hardware real gold? A: The bag features gold‑tone metal plating rather than solid gold. Light surface scratches are normal with gentle use; this piece’s hardware is shiny with light scratches as noted in the condition report.
Q: How should I care for the leather and lining? A: Wipe the leather gently with a soft, dry cloth, avoid overfilling, and keep away from moisture and prolonged direct sunlight to minimise colour fading and transfer. Store stuffed (to maintain shape) in a breathable dust bag. For the fabric lining, shake out debris and spot‑clean lightly if needed—avoid harsh chemicals on both leather and fabric.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, quilting, stitching, stamps, hardware and serials. We stand behind the authenticity of all items and can provide additional photos or details on request.
