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 dimensions and what typically fits inside? A: This Wallet on Chain measures approximately 19 × 12.5 × 3 cm. It comfortably holds essentials such as a smartphone up to around 6.1 inches, cards (there are multiple slots), folded notes, coins, a key fob and a lipstick. Capacity depends on how you pack and whether your phone has a bulky case—please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact sizing.
Q: Will an iPhone Pro Max fit inside? A: The largest “Pro Max” phones are a very snug fit in most WOCs and may not fit with a case. Some users can place a large phone at an angle without a case, but fit varies by model year and case thickness. For certainty, compare your device to the internal space and allow a little room for the flap and snap to close comfortably.
Q: How can I wear this bag and what is the strap drop? A: The chain-and-leather strap is designed for crossbody or on-the-shoulder wear and the bag can also be carried as a clutch with the chain tucked in. The drop is about 60 cm on this piece. The strap is not designed to be removable or adjustable; some owners shorten the drop by looping the chain under the flap at their own discretion.
Q: What are the advantages of Chanel’s caviar leather versus lambskin? A: Caviar is a grained calfskin known for its texture and resilience. Compared with lambskin, it generally shows scratches and scuffs less easily and tends to hold its shape well, making it a popular choice for everyday wear. Lambskin offers a softer, smoother hand and a more delicate finish.
Q: How should I care for vintage caviar leather and hardware? A: Wipe gently with a soft, non‑pilling cloth, avoid harsh cleaning products, and keep the bag away from prolonged sunlight, heat and humidity. If it becomes wet, pat dry carefully. Store it upright in a breathable pouch with the chain wrapped in tissue to avoid marks, and avoid overfilling to preserve the snap closure and shape.
Q: Is the interior laid out like a wallet? A: Yes. The classic WOC interior includes multiple card slots, a zip pocket for coins and a slip compartment for notes, so you can carry essentials without a separate wallet.
Q: What does the serial number 2****** indicate for this item? A: A 2‑series serial number corresponds to production in the early 1990s, approximately 1991–1994. Serial ranges help date the piece but do not serve as a warranty date; condition and materials should also be considered.
Q: Where was this bag made? A: This specific piece bears a Made in Italy stamp, as noted in the product information. Chanel has produced Wallet on Chain pieces in both France and Italy depending on the season and year.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information section on this page. For this piece, an authenticity card is included. Items like a box or dust bag are only included if explicitly stated there.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes a rigorous, multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts, including checks of materials, stitching, stamps, hardware and serials. We stand behind the authenticity of all items and can share additional photos or details on request.
