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 Wallet On Chain (WOC)? A: As a compact day-to-evening piece (approx. 19 × 12.5 × 4 cm), it comfortably carries essentials such as a smartphone, slim cardholder or use of the built‑in slots, folded notes, a key fob, and a lipstick. Capacity depends on how you pack—refer to the Measurements here for exact dimensions and avoid overfilling to keep the flap closing cleanly.
Q: Will my smartphone fit (including larger models)? A: Most modern smartphones, including larger “Plus/Max” sizes, generally fit when not paired with a bulky case and when the interior isn’t overstuffed. If your phone is in a thick case, test dimensions against the bag’s internal length and height to ensure the press‑stud can close without strain.
Q: How long is the chain strap and how can I wear it? A: The strap drop is about 60 cm on this piece, making it ideal for crossbody wear on most figures. You can also wear it on the shoulder by doubling the chain, or tuck the chain inside to carry it as a clutch.
Q: Is the strap adjustable or removable? A: The classic WOC strap is fixed (not removable and not factory‑adjustable). Many owners shorten the drop by looping or doubling the chain inside the bag; just avoid stressing the press‑stud or flap when doing so.
Q: What is the interior layout of the Classic WOC? A: The Classic WOC is designed like a mini organiser: typically six card slots, a central open compartment, two slip pockets, and zip pockets (including one under the flap). This item also features a back slip pocket for quick‑grab items like tickets.
Q: What is Chanel caviar leather and how does it compare to lambskin? A: Chanel caviar is grained calfskin with a pebbled texture prized for its structure and scratch resistance—excellent for frequent use. Lambskin is luxuriously soft and luminous but more delicate and needs gentler handling. If you want lower‑maintenance durability, caviar is usually the safer choice.
Q: How should I care for and store caviar leather? A: Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth; avoid water and harsh cleaners. Keep the bag away from prolonged sunlight and humidity. Store upright in a breathable dust bag, with the chain tucked and the interior lightly stuffed (tissue or a bag pillow) to maintain shape. Do not overfill, and avoid contact with colour‑transfer‑prone fabrics.
Q: What does the serial number 24099689 indicate? A: Chanel serial numbers help date production. A 24‑series code typically corresponds to around 2017–2018. Note that serial codes alone don’t guarantee authenticity; they’re one checkpoint among many (materials, stamps, hardware, stitching) used by experts.
Q: Does a pre‑owned WOC come with a Chanel warranty? A: Chanel introduced a five‑year boutique warranty for handbags and WOCs purchased new from April 2021, subject to proper use and proof of purchase. Pre‑owned items bought from resellers are generally not covered by Chanel’s boutique warranty, though Chanel may still offer paid after‑sales repairs. Please keep your purchase documentation from A Retro Tale for our own support and records.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: Everything included is listed on this page under Accessories. For this piece, a serial number tag is included. If a dust bag, box or authenticity card is not listed, it is not included—contact us if you would like us to confirm any specific accessory.
