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 Cambon Ligne Medium Tote? A: With measurements of approximately 32 cm (W) × 24.5 cm (H) × 15 cm (D), it comfortably holds a long wallet, smartphone, keys, sunglasses case, a small cosmetics pouch, a compact umbrella or water bottle, and a tablet. Packing will vary by organiser inserts and pouches you use.
Q: Will it fit a laptop or A4 documents? A: Most tablets (including larger 12–13 inch tablets in a slim sleeve) fit horizontally. A 13-inch laptop may fit snugly without a bulky case; we recommend checking your device against the listed measurements. A4 papers (29.7 × 21 cm) do not fit upright due to the 24.5 cm height, but can slide in horizontally or diagonally.
Q: Is the Cambon Ligne collection still produced by Chanel? A: The larger Cambon Ligne bags, including totes and bowlers, are discontinued and now found primarily on the pre-owned market. Smaller SLGs occasionally appear, but the classic totes are no longer sold in boutiques.
Q: Which year does serial number 13540521 correspond to? A: This is a 13-series Chanel serial, dating the piece to the 2009–2010 production period. Serial codes indicate a production window rather than an exact month, but 13XXXXXX is widely referenced as 2009–2010.
Q: What are the signature features of this model? A: Quilted calfskin leather with a large patent leather CC logo at the corner, dual rolled leather shoulder handles with the characteristic knotted base, a secure top zip, a practical exterior back pocket, protective base studs, and a vibrant logo-jacquard lining in hot pink with interior pockets.
Q: How does it carry on the shoulder? A: The strap drop is approximately 22 cm, designed for comfortable shoulder carry over light layers. It is not intended for crossbody wear.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This listing includes the serial number tag. Unless specifically listed under Accessories, items such as the dust bag, box, or authenticity card are not included.
Q: What is the condition of this bag? A: Very Good overall. There is visible scuffing on the corners, minor marks inside the lining, slight scuffing on the zipper, and the silver-tone hardware remains shiny with light surface scratches. Please refer to the images for close-ups before purchase.
Q: Is the leather durable for daily use? A: The Cambon Ligne tote is crafted in calfskin, which offers a balance of softness and durability. To maintain it, avoid prolonged exposure to moisture and heat, store stuffed in a breathable dust bag to preserve shape, and wipe with a soft, dry cloth after use. Keep the patent CC logo away from light-coloured leathers and printed fabrics to minimise any risk of colour transfer.
Q: Does the bag have internal organisation? A: Yes. In addition to the exterior back pocket, the hot pink logo-jacquard interior includes a zip pocket and small organisers (such as pen holders), making it practical for everyday essentials.
