Ideal for relaxed dinners and gallery visits, it brings timeless Chanel polish without feeling formal.
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 much can the Chanel CC Caviar Bucket Bag hold? A: With measurements of approximately 25 × 21 × 13 cm, it comfortably fits daily essentials such as a smartphone, compact wallet, keys, sunglasses, and a small cosmetics pouch. Capacity varies by how you pack; we recommend using a lightweight organiser to maintain shape and visibility of contents.
Q: Can I wear it crossbody as well as on the shoulder? A: Yes. The strap drop is approximately 50 cm (about 19.7 in), which typically allows both shoulder and crossbody wear on most frames. Fit may vary by height and torso length.
Q: Are the straps adjustable or removable? A: The dual leather drawstring straps are fixed in length and not designed to be removed. They slide to cinch the opening but are not adjustable like a belt strap.
Q: How secure is the drawstring closure for everyday use? A: The drawstring allows you to cinch the top snugly for day-to-day security. As with most bucket bags, there is no top zip; for very small items, we suggest a zip pouch or organiser and keeping valuables toward the bottom of the bag.
Q: What is special about Chanel caviar leather and how do I care for it? A: Caviar leather is a pebbled, durable calfskin that resists scratches better than smoother leathers. Wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth; avoid harsh cleaners and prolonged exposure to moisture or heat. To minimise colour transfer on this light beige shade, keep away from dark denim and other dye-prone fabrics. Store stuffed, in a breathable dust bag, and avoid overfilling to protect the structure and grommets.
Q: Is the hardware real gold-plated? A: Many vintage Chanel bags produced before late 2008 featured gold-tone hardware plated with 24k gold. Given this bag’s early 1990s era, the hardware is consistent with that period; however, exact composition cannot be confirmed without laboratory testing.
Q: When was this piece made based on the serial number 2352623? A: The 2-series serial number indicates production in the early 1990s, approximately 1991–1994.
Q: Where was this bag made? A: The country of origin label indicates Italy.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: This listing specifies no accessories. Everything included is always stated under Accessories; if an item such as a dust bag or authenticity card is not listed, it is not included.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this bag? A: Every piece is inspected by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, stamps, serials, and hardware. We stand behind the authenticity of all items and are happy to provide additional photos or details on request.
