Made for polished city days, this vintage black leather Chanel CC Chain Tote with gold-tone accents moves effortlessly from the office to dinner. Dual chain-and-leather shoulder straps and an open top make it an elegant, easy-carry choice for weekday commutes, meetings and weekend strolls, bringing timeless Chanel refinement to every look.
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 CC Chain Tote? A: With approximate dimensions of 40 × 30 × 10 cm, it comfortably carries an A4 notebook or folder, a 13-inch laptop in a slim sleeve, a tablet, long wallet, phone, keys and a small cosmetics pouch. Capacity varies with how you pack; we recommend using pouches to keep the open interior organised.
Q: Is it suitable for work and daily commuting? A: Yes. The dual chain-and-leather shoulder straps and an approximate 31 cm strap drop make it an easy shoulder carry over a light jacket. As with most chain-strap totes, it will feel more comfortable when you balance the weight and avoid overfilling; a lightweight organiser can help distribute contents.
Q: How secure is the open top? A: This model has an open top, so we suggest keeping valuables in the internal zipped pocket and using zipped pouches or a fitted organiser insert for extra security, especially on public transport or when travelling.
Q: Will a 13-inch laptop fit? A: Yes. Given the 40 cm width and 30 cm height, most 13-inch laptops fit flat or vertically in a protective sleeve. For long-term wear, we recommend a thin sleeve to protect the lambskin and maintain structure.
Q: What is included under product information for this item? A: This piece includes a serial number tag. Items such as an authenticity card, dust bag or box are not included unless specifically listed under product information on this page.
Q: The serial number is illegible—does that affect authenticity? A: Not necessarily. On vintage Chanel bags the interior serial sticker can fade or detach over time. A Retro Tale authenticates every item through multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, stamps and hardware, so authenticity does not rely solely on reading the sticker.
Q: What leather is this and how should I care for it? A: It is black lambskin leather. Avoid overfilling, prolonged sun or humidity, and contact with dark fabrics that may transfer colour. Wipe with a soft, dry cloth; for minor surface marks on lambskin, gently buff in small circular motions. Store upright in a breathable dust bag and wrap the chains to prevent imprints on the leather.
Q: Will the bag hold its shape over time? A: Lambskin totes are naturally supple and may soften with use. To help the bag keep its lines, avoid heavy loads and consider a lightweight base shaper or organiser insert. Stuff loosely with tissue when storing.
Q: The lining shows peeling—can this be repaired? A: Peeling or tacky lining can occur on vintage pieces as materials age. Specialist handbag restoration services can clean, reline or replace interiors. If you would like recommendations for professional care, contact us and we’ll be happy to assist.
