Perfect from boardroom briefings to dinner dates, this black Chanel Classic Caviar zipped pouch brings understated polish to every look. Ideal for documents or a tablet, it tucks into a tote during the day and transitions effortlessly to a sleek evening clutch.
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 Classic Caviar Zipped Pouch? A: With measurements of approximately 34 × 24 × 2 cm, it comfortably holds A4/US Letter documents, an iPad Pro up to 12.9 inches, a slim 13-inch laptop, and everyday essentials like a phone, cardholder and keys. Capacity depends on your packing style—please cross‑check your device’s dimensions against the Measurements on this page.
Q: Will a 14-inch laptop fit, and is the pouch padded? A: Slim 14-inch ultrabooks may fit if their footprint is under roughly 34 × 24 cm. The pouch is not padded, so we recommend using a thin protective sleeve if carrying a laptop or tablet to prevent pressure marks and to maintain the pouch’s shape.
Q: Does this pouch have any pockets or compartments? A: This specific piece features an external slip pocket and a burgundy fabric lining. Some Chanel zipped pouches include a small interior flat pocket depending on the season; please refer to the product photos and product information for the exact interior layout of this item.
Q: Is Caviar leather durable? A: Yes. Chanel’s grained calfskin (often called Caviar) is known for its pebbled texture and excellent resistance to surface scratches compared with smoother leathers. It also retains structure well with regular, considerate use.
Q: How should I care for Caviar leather? A: Avoid overfilling, prolonged friction, and contact with moisture or oils. Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after use; allow wet spots to air-dry naturally. Store the pouch lightly stuffed in its dust bag, away from direct sunlight and colour transfer. For periodic deeper care, use only products suitable for coated/grained calfskin and test on an inconspicuous area first.
Q: What is the lining colour, and does it vary by season? A: This piece has a burgundy fabric lining, a classic Chanel touch that appears on many zipped pouches. Lining colours can vary across collections and materials, so always review the product photos for this exact item.
Q: Is this suitable as a clutch as well as a document or tech sleeve? A: Absolutely. The slim, structured profile makes it versatile for daytime documents or tech and equally elegant as an evening clutch. If carrying electronics, use a slim sleeve to add protection inside.
Q: Does it come with any included items? A: Everything included with the piece is listed in the product information. For this item, that includes the serial number tag, box, dust bag and shopping bag.
Q: Does this item have a microchip or an authenticity card? A: Chanel transitioned from serial stickers/cards to embedded microchips starting in 2021. Whether a specific pre‑owned piece has a microchip or a serial sticker/card depends on its production year. This item is noted as having a serial number tag in the product information.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this pouch? A: Every item is rigorously examined by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, quilting, stitching, logos, hardware, stamps and serials. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide additional details or photos on request.
