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 can I fit inside this Wallet On Chain? A: As a compact crossbody (approx. 19 × 12.5 × 3 cm), it comfortably carries a large smartphone, cards in the built-in slots, folded notes, coins in the zipped pocket, a key and a lipstick or earbuds. Capacity varies by how you pack; avoid overfilling to keep the press-stud closing smoothly.
Q: Is the chain strap adjustable or removable? A: The classic Wallet On Chain strap is fixed and non-removable. On this piece the drop is approximately 62 cm, designed for easy crossbody wear. You can shorten the drop by doubling the chain under the flap or using a clip inside, but take care not to imprint the leather.
Q: Can I wear it crossbody, on the shoulder, or as a clutch? A: Yes. The long chain allows crossbody or long-shoulder wear, and you can tuck the chain inside to carry it as a sleek clutch for evenings.
Q: Will a large smartphone fit? A: Many large phones will fit, though very bulky cases may make the press-stud harder to close. Test your phone without a thick case and never force the closure; packing flat, slim items helps maximise space.
Q: How is the interior organised? A: The classic WOC layout includes six card slots, a main compartment, a zipped pocket, an extra zipped pocket under the flap and slim slip pockets, offering wallet-like organisation in a compact bag. This piece features burgundy fabric and leather lining with multiple internal compartments, a zip pocket and card slots.
Q: What are the measurements and strap drop of this item? A: Approx. height 12.5 cm, width 19 cm, depth 3 cm; strap drop about 62 cm, as listed on this page. Measurements are approximate and may vary slightly by production and contents.
Q: What is Chanel Caviar leather and how should I care for it? A: Caviar is pebbled calfskin prized for its durability and resistance to light scratches. Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth; avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight, humidity and heat; if it gets wet, blot with a lint-free cloth. Store upright in a breathable dust bag, loosely stuffed to hold its shape, with the chain wrapped to prevent marks. Avoid heavy overfilling to preserve the structure.
Q: What does serial number 22907456 indicate? A: Chanel serial numbers beginning with 22 were produced approximately in 2016–2017. Our team authenticates every item through multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware and stamps, and we stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
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 a dust bag or authenticity card is not listed there, it is not included—feel free to contact us for confirmation.
