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 Vintage CC Suede Quilted Bag? A: With approximate measurements W 29 × H 28 × D 9 cm, it generally holds daily essentials: smartphone, continental wallet, keys, slim sunglasses case, small cosmetics pouch and an A5 notebook/diary. A small water bottle can fit if you don’t overfill. Capacity can vary slightly by packing style—please compare with the Measurements shown or ask us for a tailored fit check for this exact piece.
Q: Will it fit a tablet or laptop? A: Slim tablets (e.g., iPad mini or similar) usually fit comfortably. Standard 10–11‑inch tablets may fit depending on their case and the flap opening, but can be snug. Laptops are generally not suitable for this silhouette. For certainty, compare your device’s dimensions with the Measurements listed or ask us to test fit against this specific bag.
Q: Is the strap adjustable, and can I wear it crossbody? A: This model features a single flat shoulder strap with an approximate 25 cm drop. It is not adjustable and is intended for shoulder carry rather than crossbody wear. If you’d like us to confirm the exact drop on this piece, please ask.
Q: How secure is the closure and what pockets does it have? A: The bag has a magnetic flap closure for everyday use. Inside, you’ll find tonal leather lining with one internal zipped pocket for valuables. Please check our photos and description for the precise interior layout of this item.
Q: How should I care for the suede? A: Keep suede away from moisture, oils and prolonged sunlight. Brush gently with a soft suede brush to lift the nap and remove light surface marks; use a specialised suede eraser for minor scuffs (test first on a discreet area). Consider a suede protector spray applied sparingly after patch‑testing. Avoid rain and colour transfer from dark denim. Store the bag lightly stuffed, upright, in a breathable dust bag, and do not overfill to help maintain the quilted structure.
Q: Is suede prone to colour transfer or water marks? A: Yes—suede can absorb dyes from dark clothing and is sensitive to water. To minimise risk, avoid contact with dark denim and wet surfaces. If it gets lightly wet, blot (don’t rub) with a clean cloth and allow to air‑dry away from heat, then gently brush to restore the nap.
Q: Will the magnetic closure affect bank cards or devices? A: The magnet is designed for the flap and is generally fine for everyday use. As a precaution, keep mag‑stripe cards and sensitive devices away from direct, prolonged contact with the magnet—store cards in the interior zipped pocket or a cardholder placed away from the flap.
Q: What brand markings and codes should I expect on an authentic vintage Chanel? A: Authentic Chanel bags typically feature a “CHANEL” heat‑stamp and country of origin (this piece is Made in France). Vintage pieces include a hologram serial sticker inside; some originally came with a matching authenticity card. Placement and format vary by era. This listing notes a serial number tag under “Accessories”—contact us if you’d like close‑up photos of the markings on this item.
Q: Is this style still produced? A: This is a vintage Chanel shoulder bag and not part of the current, regularly produced line. Availability of similar silhouettes and materials can vary by season; the pre‑loved market is the best way to find specific vintage configurations like quilted suede with the large CC hardware.
Q: What accessories are included and how do you authenticate? A: Included items for this piece are listed under “Accessories” (for this item: serial number tag). If an accessory isn’t mentioned there, it isn’t included—feel free to ask us to confirm. Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous, multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts, assessing materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, serial code and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
