Elevate everyday carry from desk to dinner with this vintage Chanel card holder. In black caviar leather with a gold-tone Coco Mark, it slips neatly into pockets or mini bags for meetings, city errands or evening events, keeping your essential cards close with timeless polish.
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 are the dimensions and layout of this card holder? A: Approximately 7.5 × 11.5 × 0.5 cm. It has one central compartment and four exterior card slots for quick access.
Q: How many cards does it hold comfortably? A: As a guide, 4–6 standard cards fit comfortably across the outer slots and centre. Capacity depends on card thickness; avoid overfilling to prevent stretching and to preserve the shape.
Q: Will my driving licence, ID or business cards fit, and can it carry cash? A: Yes. Standard payment/ID cards fit the slots, most business cards of roughly 85 × 55 mm will also fit, and folded banknotes can be stored in the central compartment.
Q: Is Chanel caviar leather durable for daily use? A: Yes. Chanel’s caviar is a grained calfskin valued for its structure and scratch resistance, making it well‑suited to everyday handling. Like all leathers it is not waterproof, so avoid moisture and prolonged abrasion.
Q: How should I care for and store it? A: Wipe gently with a soft, non‑pilling cloth; avoid oils, alcohol and harsh cleaners; keep away from prolonged light, heat and humidity; and avoid contact transfer between light and dark colours. Do not overfill. When not in use, store it in its pouch or box in a cool, dry place.
Q: Does this card holder have RFID protection? A: Chanel does not advertise RFID‑blocking for this model. If you prefer that feature, use a slim RFID sleeve. Major payment providers and independent experts consider the risk from contactless skimming to be low in everyday use.
Q: What is included with this item? A: As listed in the product information, this piece comes with a box and a serial number tag. Everything included is always detailed in the product information section on this page.
Q: Is it authentic and how do you verify it? A: Every piece at A Retro Tale is authenticated by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, stamps and hardware. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide further details on request.
Q: Does Chanel still use authenticity cards? A: From 2021 Chanel began transitioning from serial stickers and authenticity cards to an embedded microchip and metal plate. Some small leather goods around that period still carried stickers. Please refer to the product information for what accompanies this vintage piece.
Q: Where was this piece made? A: Italy, as indicated on the label.
Q: Can it hold coins or keys? A: This is a slim, flat card holder and is not designed for coins or bulky items. Storing coins or keys may cause stretching and surface marks; we recommend a separate coin pouch if needed.
