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 measurements and what fits inside? A: The bag measures approximately 17 × 15 × 5 cm with a strap drop of about 56 cm. It comfortably holds essentials such as a smartphone, small wallet or cardholder, keys and a lipstick. Bulky items will not fit; please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: Can I wear it crossbody as well as on the shoulder? A: Yes. The fixed chain-and-leather strap with pearl CHANEL embellishment gives an approximate 56 cm drop, making it suitable for both shoulder and crossbody wear on most frames. The strap is not adjustable or removable.
Q: Are the pearls real? A: The decorative pearls used on Chanel handbags are imitation (typically resin or acrylic/glass) selected for their aesthetic and durability. They are delicate by nature, so avoid knocks and abrasive contact to prevent scratching or chipping.
Q: What does the serial number 29789794 indicate? A: Chanel serial charts place 29xxxxxx numbers around the 2019–2020 production period. The code indicates the era but not the exact month or collection, so it is best considered an approximate guide only.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: As listed under Accessories, this piece comes with its serial number tag. Items such as a dust bag or authenticity card are not included unless specifically stated on this page.
Q: Is the strap comfortable against the shoulder with the pearl detail? A: The strap combines chain and leather with a pearl CHANEL accent. Most users find it comfortable for regular wear, but as with any decorative strap, we recommend positioning the leather section on the shoulder to minimise pressure from the hardware and embellishment.
Q: How should I care for the quilted leather and pearl details? A: Wipe leather gently with a soft, dry cloth and keep away from moisture and colour transfer. Store the bag loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag, out of direct heat or sunlight. Avoid contact with perfume, lotions and solvents around the pearl embellishments, and handle primarily by the leather-and-chain areas to reduce wear on the pearls.
Q: How durable is the gold-tone hardware and interior leather lining? A: Gold-tone hardware is designed for normal use but can show fine surface scratches over time. The leather-lined interior is durable for everyday essentials; consider using small pouches to reduce scuffing from keys or cosmetics.
Q: There is mention of a slight vintage smell—will it go away? A: A light vintage odour is noted for the interior. This typically dissipates with careful airing: store the bag open in a cool, dry place with odour-absorbing sachets or activated charcoal placed nearby (not in direct contact with the leather). Avoid spraying fragrances directly on or inside the bag.
Q: How do you authenticate this Chanel bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in-house experts using multi-point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and serials. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide additional details on request.
