Q: Is it suitable as airline cabin baggage?
A: At roughly 50 cm in length, this weekender meets the size guidelines of many airlines that allow around 55–56 × 45 × 25 cm for a large cabin bag. Policies vary by carrier and ticket type, so please check your specific airline before travelling.

Q: What is the Chanel Sport/Sports Line?
A: The Sport (Sport Ligne) collection from the early 2000s blends Chanel DNA with athleisure utility—often using durable nylon, mesh, and bold rubberised CC logo details. Many pieces from this line were made in Italy and have become sought-after Y2K-era collectables.

Q: Is the nylon material water-resistant or waterproof?
A: Nylon offers good everyday, light rain resistance but the bag is not fully waterproof. Wipe off moisture promptly and avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain. Rubberised logo and trim can scuff and may mark with wear—handle with care.

Q: How should I clean and store it?
A: Spot-clean nylon with a soft, slightly damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap if needed; avoid harsh chemicals, colour-transfer risk surfaces, and machine washing. Store lightly stuffed in a breathable dust bag, keep straps and hardware separated with tissue, and avoid prolonged heat or direct sunlight to minimise changes to colour and rubber details.

Q: What does the serial number starting with 8****** indicate?
A: A 7‑digit Chanel serial beginning with 8 dates to approximately 2003–2004. Serial numbers help place the production period but are not proof of authenticity on their own.

Q: Where was this piece made?
A: The label states Italy as the country of origin.

Q: What is included with this item?
