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 is mouton shearling on this Chanel bag? A: Mouton is sheepskin that has been sheared and specially treated to create a dense, velvety, water‑repellent fleece, often resembling beaver or seal. Shearling means the sheepskin is tanned with the wool left on. This piece features brown mouton shearling with a cosy cream shearling lining, giving a soft, plush finish with natural warmth and texture.
Q: Is this bag vintage, and when was it produced? A: Yes. The serial number 6163414 places it in Chanel’s 6‑series, which dates to approximately 2000–2002. This aligns with widely used Chanel date‑code charts and examples from the same series. As always, a serial number supports dating but is only one part of a full authentication.
Q: What typically fits inside? A: With approximate measurements of 23 × 15 × 6.5 cm, it is a compact shoulder bag that fits daily essentials such as a smartphone, compact wallet or cardholder, keys, lipstick, and sunglasses in a soft pouch. It is not intended for water bottles, tablets, or bulky items. Capacity depends on how you pack—please refer to the Measurements for exact sizing.
Q: How does the strap wear on the body? A: The single flat shoulder strap measures around 50 cm end‑to‑end, designed for comfortable shoulder carry. Most users will find it sits near the mid‑torso to hip depending on height. It is not designed for cross‑body wear.
Q: Can I use a shearling bag in wet weather? A: Shearling has some natural resistance to light moisture but it is not waterproof. Avoid heavy rain or snow. If it becomes damp, blot gently with a soft cloth and let it air‑dry away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not use a hairdryer or radiator, as heat can stiffen the leather and flatten the pile.
Q: How should I clean and care for mouton/shearling? A: Regularly fluff the fleece with a soft, clean brush to keep the pile lifted and reduce matting. Spot clean minor marks with a barely damp cloth and allow to dry naturally. Avoid saturating the material, harsh cleaners, or oils. For deep cleaning or significant stains, use a specialist shearling/fur‑leather cleaner. Rotate use and allow the bag to rest between wears.
Q: Will the shearling shed or cause colour transfer? A: Natural fibres may release a few loose fibres initially; this is normal and reduces with gentle brushing. To minimise colour transfer or matting, avoid prolonged rubbing against dark, unstable dyes or coarse fabrics, and store the bag separately in its dust bag when not in use.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: This bag comes with a dust bag and serial number tag. One of the silver‑toned CC logos on the front is currently detached but is included separately in the package.
Q: Can the detached CC logo be reattached? A: Yes. We recommend having the logo professionally reattached by a trusted leather goods repair specialist to ensure proper alignment and to protect the shearling. Please contact us if you would like recommendations.
Q: How do you authenticate this Chanel bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes a multi‑point inspection by our in‑house experts, examining materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, and the serial number/date code. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to provide additional details on request.
