Perfect for gallery openings or dinner in the city, this vintage Chanel CC Camera Bag in black quilted lambskin with gold-tone accents brings polished glamour to any ensemble. Wear the chain-and-leather shoulder strap by day with a blazer, then with a little black dress at night; its compact zip-top design keeps essentials secure in timeless style.
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 Chanel Camera Bag? A: With dimensions of 22 x 16 x 6 cm, this vintage Camera Bag is a compact yet practical piece. It comfortably holds a large smartphone (including Pro/Max models), a compact or standard-sized wallet, keys, and small cosmetics like a lipstick or compact. The rectangular shape maximizes interior space, but it is best suited for essential daily items rather than larger loads.
Q: Can I wear this bag crossbody? A: The single chain and leather strap has a drop of approximately 43 cm. This length is designed primarily for comfortable shoulder wear. While it may be possible for petite wearers to carry it as a high crossbody, it generally sits too high for a standard crossbody fit and is best enjoyed as a classic shoulder bag.
Q: When was this bag manufactured? A: This specific piece bears a serial number beginning with 0 (0863682), which indicates it was produced between 1986 and 1988. This makes it a highly collectible vintage item from the late 80s, an era known for its high-quality gold plating and craftsmanship.
Q: What are the key features of this model? A: This model is defined by its boxy "Camera Case" silhouette, top zip closure for security, and a front flap pocket featuring the iconic CC logo (perfect for slim items like travel passes or tickets). A signature detail of this era is the decorative leather tassel attached to the zipper pull, adding a touch of vintage movement and charm.
Q: How should I care for the vintage lambskin? A: Chanel lambskin is renowned for its buttery soft texture and luxurious sheen but can be more delicate than caviar leather. To maintain its condition, avoid prolonged exposure to moisture, sunlight, and abrasive surfaces. We recommend wiping it gently with a soft, dry microfiber cloth if needed and storing it upright in its dust bag with the chain tucked inside to prevent pressure marks on the leather.
Q: What is the condition of this specific item? A: This bag is in Very Good vintage condition. It shows light traces of use consistent with its age, and the hardware remains shiny with only light scratches. Please refer to the detailed condition rating and photos on this page for a closer look at the exact state of this piece.
Q: What accessories are included? A: This item comes with its dust bag and the internal serial number tag. If an authenticity card or original box is not listed under the “Accessories” section, they are not included. We are happy to answer any further questions about what accompanies this piece.
Q: How is authenticity guaranteed? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in-house experts. We perform multi-point checks on materials, stitching, hardware, the serial sticker format (specific to the 0-series era), and overall construction to ensure authenticity. We stand behind the genuineness of all items we sell.
