Ideal for evenings out, business meetings and city breaks, this black Chanel zip-around card holder keeps essential cards secure and stylish, slipping easily into a clutch, mini bag or jacket pocket.
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 this zip-around card holder? A: With three internal compartments, it neatly organises everyday essentials such as payment and ID cards, folded banknotes and coins. Many customers use it as a compact wallet. For longevity, keep contents moderate rather than tightly packed.
Q: Does it hold coins and folded cash securely? A: Yes. The zip-around closure keeps loose change safe, and folded notes fit comfortably in one of the internal sections without popping the zip.
Q: What are the measurements and will it fit in mini bags and pockets? A: Approx. 11 × 7 × 2 cm. Its slim footprint slips easily into small handbags, clutches and jacket or trouser pockets while keeping essentials close to hand.
Q: Which leather is this and how does it wear? A: It is crafted from black quilted caviar leather (pebbled calfskin) with a textured, more scratch-resistant finish than smooth lambskin, making it a practical choice for daily use while still feeling luxurious.
Q: How should I care for the leather and zip? A: Wipe with a soft, dry, non‑pilling cloth; avoid overfilling; keep away from prolonged sunlight, humidity and colour transfer; and store empty in its pouch or box. If the leather becomes slightly marked, gently buff in small circular motions. These simple habits help the leather, structure and zip remain in excellent condition.
Q: What does the serial number 30107270 indicate? A: The 30‑series eight‑digit code typically corresponds to 2021 production. Around this period Chanel began introducing microchips, though many small leather goods still carried serial stickers and matching cards.
Q: What is included with this item? A: As listed under product information: box, authenticity card and serial number tag. If an item is not stated there, it is not included—please feel free to ask us for confirmation.
Q: Is this suitable for men as well as women? A: Absolutely. The minimalist design, black caviar leather and compact size make it a versatile unisex piece for everyday carry.
Q: Are there any common wear points to watch for? A: As with most zipped small leather goods, the zip tape and corners can show wear sooner if overstuffed or rubbed against abrasive surfaces. Keeping contents reasonable and storing it separately from keys helps minimise abrasion.
Q: Where was this piece made? A: This item is stamped Made in Spain, a common country of manufacture for Chanel small leather goods.
