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 the Chanel Coco Mark Quilted Pouch? A: It’s a compact, vintage Chanel pouch in black quilted leather with silver‑tone hardware, a flap top with magnetic snap, fabric lining and a single chain‑and‑leather interwoven handle for hand carry. It’s ideal as a mini grab‑and‑go piece or to organise essentials inside a larger bag.
Q: What does “Coco Mark” refer to? A: “Coco Mark” is a widely used term (especially in the Japanese vintage market) for Chanel’s interlocking CC logo. On this piece, the Coco Mark provides the iconic brand signature on the exterior.
Q: What are the dimensions and what fits inside? A: Approx. 11 x 9 x 1 cm (about 4.3 x 3.5 x 0.4 in). It suits slim essentials such as a few cards, folded notes, receipts, a key fob and a lipstick or lip balm. It is not sized for most smartphones or bulky items—avoid overfilling to preserve the shape and snap.
Q: Is it unisex? A: Yes. Minimalist pouches like this are commonly styled by all genders—use it as a sleek mini top‑handle, a clutch (by tucking the handle inside if desired) or as an organiser within a tote or backpack.
Q: How old is this piece based on the serial number? A: The serial number 10297898 corresponds to the 10‑series, dating to approximately 2005–2006.
Q: What authenticity features should I expect? A: This listing includes the original serial number tag (hologram sticker) inside. Chanel items from this era used serial stickers and matching cards; newer items (from 2021 onward) transitioned to a microchipped metal plate. A Retro Tale further verifies authenticity with multi‑point checks beyond stickers/cards.
Q: What accessories are included? A: As noted, the pouch comes with its serial number tag. No additional accessories (e.g., authenticity card, dust bag or box) are listed unless shown or stated in the Accessories section.
Q: What type of leather is this—lambskin or caviar? A: The listing specifies black quilted leather but not the exact finish. Please review close‑up photos to assess surface texture (caviar is pebbled and more hard‑wearing; lambskin is smoother and more delicate). Care recommendations below apply to both unless otherwise noted.
Q: Will the magnetic snap affect my cards or devices? A: Modern chip‑and‑PIN/EMV cards are generally not affected by small bag magnets, but prolonged direct contact with a card’s magnetic stripe can cause issues. Store cards in a separate holder and avoid resting the stripe directly over the snap. Keep smartphones or earbuds away from the magnet where possible.
Q: How should I care for and store the pouch? A: Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after use; avoid moisture, oils and colour transfer from dark denim. Store lightly stuffed in a breathable dust bag, away from heat and direct sunlight. Do not overfill; keep the chain away from sharp or abrasive surfaces to prevent imprints on the leather. Professional leather care is recommended for deep cleaning or restoration.
