Perfect for dinner dates, theatre nights and formal events when you want to travel light. This vintage Chanel card holder, in black quilted leather with gold-tone hardware and a flap closure, slips into a clutch or pocket and keeps your cards organised with timeless elegance.
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 Flap Card Holder? A: It comfortably holds 4–6 standard cards, a few folded banknotes and a receipt. To preserve the shape and ensure the flap closes neatly, avoid overfilling. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: How many cards can it hold without stretching the leather? A: As a guideline, use one card per slot and up to two to three in the main compartment, for a total of around 4–6. Overstuffing may cause the leather to stretch and the flap to sit misaligned over time.
Q: Does it have separate compartments? A: Chanel flap card holders typically feature one main compartment and at least one small slip pocket. Please check the product photos and description on this page to confirm the exact layout for this individual piece.
Q: Can I use it for coins? A: It is designed primarily for cards and folded notes. Occasional coins are fine, but frequent or heavy coin storage can add bulk and may mark the lining; a small coin pouch is recommended if you carry coins regularly.
Q: Will it fit in mini bags or pockets? A: Yes. With an approximate size of 9.5 × 8 × 1.5 cm, it slips easily into compact handbags and many coat or trouser pockets. If in doubt, compare the Measurements here with the space in your bag.
Q: Is this a vintage piece and what kind of wear should I expect? A: Yes, it is a vintage Chanel small leather good. Minor signs of use are normal; this item is graded Very Good with scuffed corners, light interior use, and light scratches on shiny hardware as noted in the Condition section.
Q: The serial number is illegible—does that affect authenticity? A: Many vintage Chanel items have serial stickers or tags that fade or become unreadable with age. Authenticity is assessed holistically using materials, stitching, stamps, quilting, hardware, and era-correct details, not just the serial alone.
Q: What items are included with my purchase? A: Everything included with this piece is listed under the product information on this page. If a dust bag, box, or authenticity card is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: How should I care for the quilted leather and gold-tone hardware? A: Wipe gently with a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth and allow to air-dry away from heat. Avoid oils, harsh cleaners, and colour transfer from dark textiles. Store in a breathable dust bag with light stuffing to help maintain shape, and keep away from prolonged sunlight and moisture. For hardware, use a clean microfibre cloth only; avoid abrasive polishes.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate Chanel small leather goods? A: Each item is checked by our in-house experts using a multi-point process: leather and lining, quilting pattern, logo stamps, font and placement, stitching, hardware and engravings, and serial sticker/plate or other era-correct identifiers where present. We stand behind the authenticity of every piece we sell and are happy to provide additional product information on request.
