Perfect for back-to-office days or a polished weekend in the city, this vintage Chanel CC Tote in black leather with gold-tone hardware slips over the shoulder and carries daily essentials with ease—bringing effortless Chanel elegance from desk to dinner and beyond.
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 the Chanel CC Tote Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 41 × 30 × 11 cm, it comfortably holds A4 documents, a 13-inch laptop in a sleeve, a tablet, a long wallet, a small cosmetics pouch, and daily essentials. Capacity depends on how you pack; please refer to the Measurements for exact sizing.
Q: Will it fit a 14- or 15-inch laptop? A: A slim 14-inch laptop generally fits. Some 15-inch models may fit the width, but the 30 cm height can be limiting—please compare your device’s dimensions to the bag’s measurements for certainty and use a protective sleeve.
Q: Is it designed for shoulder carry and are the straps adjustable? A: Yes, it is a shoulder tote with dual flat shoulder straps. The drop is approximately 28 cm for comfortable shoulder wear. The straps are fixed and not adjustable or removable.
Q: How is the interior organised? A: It features a black fabric lining with two internal zipped pockets for secure storage of smaller items.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information. For this piece, a serial number tag is noted. If an item (for example a dust bag or authenticity card) is not listed there, it is not included—contact us if you would like clarification.
Q: The serial number is illegible—does that affect authenticity or resale? A: Serial stickers can wear with age on vintage Chanel. Authenticity is assessed using multiple factors such as materials, stitching, logo stamps, hardware and overall construction, not the sticker alone. An unreadable sticker may prevent confirming the exact production year, but it does not by itself determine authenticity. Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our experts.
Q: Is the hardware real gold? A: Many vintage Chanel bags produced before late 2008 were plated with 24k gold, after which the brand moved to gold‑tone finishes. Because the serial sticker here is illegible, we cannot confirm the plating for this specific tote. Please review the photos and condition notes; light scratches and discolouration on the hardware are noted.
Q: How should I care for the leather and hardware? A: Wipe gently with a soft, non‑abrasive cloth and avoid harsh cleaners. Keep away from prolonged light, heat and humidity; if it gets wet, blot dry with an absorbent cloth. Store upright in a breathable dust bag with the body lightly stuffed to maintain shape, and wrap the straps to prevent imprints.
Q: Where was this tote made? A: The origin label states Italy, as shown in the product information.
Q: What is the overall condition? A: Graded Good. Expect scuffing on the corners, some creasing on the leather, light signs of use inside with some stains on the lining, and scratches/discolouration on the hardware. Please review all images and the condition report for full details.
