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 is the Chanel Matelassé coin/key purse? A: It’s a compact Chanel small leather good (SLG) featuring the brand’s signature Matelassé quilting. Designed to carry coins, a few folded notes, cards and keys, vintage versions may vary in interior layout and hardware depending on the year and collection.
Q: What can it hold and will it fit cards? A: With an approximate footprint of W 14.5 x H 8.5 x D 0.5 cm, it fits loose change, a couple of folded banknotes, several standard credit/ID cards and a small key or key fob. It will not fit most smartphones. Avoid overstuffing to maintain the silhouette and zip integrity.
Q: Does it include a key ring or chain? A: Many Chanel coin/key purses feature an interior key ring or short chain for securing keys, though this can vary by model and year. Please check the product photos and Accessories section of this listing to confirm what’s included with this specific piece.
Q: What materials and hardware are used? A: Chanel SLGs are commonly crafted from lambskin or caviar (grained calfskin) leather with gold‑ or silver‑tone hardware. Material and finish can vary by season and vintage. Leather is not waterproof; keep it away from moisture and oils, and refer to the photos and description for exact details of this item.
Q: How should I clean and care for it? A: Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth. For light marks, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid harsh chemicals, alcohol and detergents. Condition smooth leather sparingly with a high‑quality, neutral leather care product. Store in a dust bag, lightly stuffed with acid‑free tissue, away from direct sunlight and humidity.
Q: Is it authentic and will it have a serial number or microchip? A: A Retro Tale rigorously authenticates every item via multi‑point checks and trusted partners. Many vintage Chanel SLGs have a serial number sticker inside and an accompanying authenticity card; newer pieces (from around 2021) may feature an embedded microchip and no card. Presence or absence of a sticker/card is not the sole indicator of authenticity.
Q: Where is it made? A: Chanel leather goods are typically made in France or Italy. The exact country of origin is usually stamped inside; please review the product images and description for this piece’s specific origin.
Q: Does it come with the original box or dust bag? A: Inclusions vary for vintage and pre‑owned items. Please check the Accessories section and photos on this listing for exactly what is included. If original packaging isn’t shown or mentioned, it’s not part of the sale.
Q: Can I use it as a mini wallet or card holder? A: Yes. The coin/key purse works well as a minimalist wallet—holding coins, a few folded notes and essential cards. It also slips neatly into small handbags as an organiser for quick‑access items.
Q: Can Chanel repair it if needed? A: Chanel boutiques may offer repairs subject to assessment, parts availability and fees, especially for vintage items. Policies vary by location; we recommend contacting your local Chanel boutique with photos for current options and pricing.
