Perfect for a weekend city break or daily commutes, this Chanel Medium Urban Luxury Backpack in black quilted leather lends polished ease to hands-free days. Its medium profile suits essentials without bulk, while the ruthenium accents keep the look modern. Reach for it from airport lounge to brunch, pairing seamlessly with denim, tailoring or a minimalist coat.
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 can the Medium Urban Luxury Backpack hold day to day? A: With approximate measurements of 24 × 24 × 12 cm, it comfortably fits a long wallet, smartphone, sunglasses case, keys, a small water bottle, cosmetics pouch, and an iPad mini/11-inch tablet without a bulky case. It will not fit a 13-inch laptop. Capacity varies by how you pack; please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: Does it fit a tablet or laptop? A: Most 10–11 inch tablets fit; larger tablets (12.9-inch) and 13-inch laptops do not. For best results, compare your device’s dimensions to the bag’s interior space and avoid overfilling to preserve shape.
Q: How do the straps fit—are they adjustable? A: This piece has two chain-and-leather shoulder straps with an approximate drop of 32 cm and a single top handle for grab-and-go carry. Strap adjustment is limited; the design is intended for backpack carry, and you can also wear both straps together on one shoulder for short periods.
Q: How does the bag close and how secure is it? A: The main compartment tightens with a drawstring under a flap secured by the signature CC turn-lock. This layered closure offers both easy access and added security for daily use. There is also a front flap pocket for quick essentials.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information on this page. This piece is sold without additional items; if something is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: What does the serial number 22****** indicate? A: Chanel 8‑digit serials beginning with 22 generally correspond to a 2016–2017 production period. This particular backpack is dated to 2016 and was made in France, as noted on this page.
Q: What are the materials and hardware on this backpack? A: It is crafted in black quilted leather with ruthenium‑plated hardware. The combination delivers a refined, slightly dark metallic look that pairs well with everyday wear while keeping the classic Chanel aesthetic.
Q: How should I care for the leather and hardware? A: Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after use; avoid oils, solvents, and baby wipes. Do not overfill (to preserve the silhouette); store stuffed and upright in a breathable dust bag, away from direct sunlight and humidity. Keep light leathers away from dark fabrics to minimise colour transfer, and avoid prolonged pressure of chains on leather when storing.
Q: Is ruthenium hardware durable? A: Ruthenium is a plated, dark‑toned finish. Normal hairline marks can occur with wear; avoid abrasives and contact with perfumes or lotions, and store so that chain links do not rub against the leather surface.
Q: What is the interior like? A: The interior is lined in black quilted leather and includes one internal zip pocket, making it easy to organise smaller items you want to keep secure.
