This vintage Chanel CC Mouton Pouch in vibrant orange mouton leather, finished with silver‑tone hardware and a handy wristlet strap, is a chic choice for winter evenings. In very good overall condition, its cosy texture and compact zip‑top design keep essentials close for dinners, gallery openings or festive parties.
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 this pouch (22 × 15 cm)? A: It comfortably holds a large smartphone, a slim cardholder, keys, and a few small essentials like lipstick or AirPods. Larger phones (e.g., iPhone Pro Max) fit when placed horizontally; very bulky cases may reduce space.
Q: Is the wristlet strap adjustable or removable? A: No. This model features a fixed wristlet strap with an approximate drop of 15 cm, designed to be carried by hand or on the wrist.
Q: What is mouton leather? A: Mouton refers to shearling (sheepskin with the wool attached). It has a plush, cosy texture and natural variations in pile and shading that are part of its character.
Q: How should I care for the shearling (mouton) exterior and lining? A: Keep it dry and avoid prolonged rain. If lightly damp, blot with a soft cloth and let it air‑dry away from heat. Use a clean, soft brush to gently lift and refresh the pile. Avoid oils and harsh cleaners; for deep cleaning, consult a specialist familiar with shearling. Store loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag, and rotate use to prevent compression.
Q: Can shearling get wet? A: Genuine shearling has some natural water resistance, but it is not waterproof. Light moisture is usually fine if dried properly; avoid heavy rain and never use direct heat to dry. Allow it to air‑dry and then gently brush the pile.
Q: Will the orange colour transfer or fade? A: Brightly dyed leathers and shearling can transfer colour if rubbed against light fabrics, especially when new or damp. Avoid contact with dark denim and wet materials, minimise friction, and store away from direct sunlight to preserve the colour.
Q: What does the serial number 6195327 indicate? A: This is a 6‑series Chanel serial number, which typically dates the piece to around 2000–2002. Please note that a serial number alone does not guarantee authenticity; it indicates the production era.
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 authenticity card, dust bag, or box is not listed there, it is not part of the sale.
Q: Is the interior also shearling? A: Yes. This pouch features a matching orange mouton (shearling) lining for a plush, coordinated finish.
Q: How do you authenticate this vintage Chanel piece? A: Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts, including inspection of materials, stitching, hardware, brand stamps, and serial details. We stand behind the authenticity of every item we sell.
