Made for after-dark elegance, this vintage Chanel Wallet on Chain in black velvet with pearl embellishments is a refined companion for cocktail parties, weddings or theatre nights. The interwoven leather-and-chain strap wears effortlessly, while dual zip closure and internal card slots keep essentials organised. Mixed gold and silver-tone hardware lends a chic finish to polished evening looks.
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 Wallet on Chain? A: Essentials such as a slim smartphone, cards, cash, a key fob and a lipstick. As a double zip version, it offers two separate compartments for small valuables, but it is still compact—bulky items or thick phone cases are best avoided.
Q: Is the chain length suitable for crossbody wear? A: Yes. The chain drop is approximately 60 cm, which suits most heights for crossbody. You can also wear it on the shoulder or tuck the chain inside to carry it as a clutch. The chain is not adjustable.
Q: What are the interior features of the double zip WOC? A: Two zip-top compartments with a central section, multiple card slots, and a lined interior designed to keep essentials organised while remaining slim.
Q: Will a larger phone (e.g., Pro Max sizes) fit? A: Larger phones can be a tight fit and may not slip in comfortably, especially with a case. Standard-size smartphones fit best; if in doubt, compare your handset to the measurements listed on this page.
Q: Are the pearls real? A: Chanel typically uses imitation pearls on embellished pieces. The pearls are decorative; avoid knocks, snagging and contact with perfumes to keep them pristine.
Q: How should I care for the velvet exterior? A: Velvet is sensitive to abrasion and moisture. Avoid overfilling, keep away from rain and dark-to-light colour transfer, and store loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag. Use a clean, soft lint brush to refresh the nap. For stains or deeper cleaning, seek a professional specialist.
Q: How do I look after the hardware and pearl embellishments? A: Wipe hardware gently with a soft, dry cloth and avoid abrasive polishes. Keep pearls away from lotions, fragrances and rough surfaces, and store the bag so embellishments are not pressed against other items.
Q: What does the serial number 24539688 indicate? A: The 24-series serial number dates the piece to approximately late 2017 to early 2018, consistent with Chanel’s 8-digit code system prior to the brand’s later microchip transition.
Q: Is the chain removable or adjustable? A: The chain is fixed and non-adjustable. Some owners shorten the drop temporarily by looping the chain inside; for permanent alterations, consult a trusted leather expert if desired.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: As listed, this piece includes the serial number tag. Any other items (such as a box or authenticity card) would be mentioned under Accessories; if not listed, they are not included.
