Chanel CC Quilted Chain Bucket Bag

Q: What fits inside the Chanel CC Quilted Chain Bucket Bag?
A: With approximate dimensions of 27 × 20 × 14 cm, it comfortably holds day-to-day essentials such as a phone, compact wallet, keys, sunglasses, a small cosmetics pouch and other small items. For the best sense of capacity, please refer to the Measurements on this page.

Q: Can this bag be worn on the shoulder or crossbody?
A: This style is designed primarily as a shoulder bag. The interwoven chain strap has a listed strap measurement of approximately 40 cm, so it generally sits best on the shoulder rather than crossbody.

Q: Is the drawstring closure secure?
A: Yes, the drawstring top helps keep your belongings gathered and covered while maintaining the relaxed bucket shape. As with most drawstring bags, it is not as fully sealed as a zip-top design, so extra-small valuables are best kept in a slim pouch inside the bag.

Q: What condition is this vintage bag in?
A: The overall condition is rated Very Good. The exterior and interior both show light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. As a vintage piece, gentle wear is normal and part of its character.

Q: What does the product information say is included with this bag?
A: The product information for this item states that no additional items are included with the bag. If you would like confirmation before purchase, feel free to contact us.

Q: Does a missing serial number automatically mean a Chanel bag is not authentic?
A: Not necessarily. On vintage Chanel bags, serial stickers can fade, loosen or come away over time. Authentication should always be based on the overall construction and details of the piece, not on one element alone. For this item, the product information notes that no serial number was found.

Q: How should I care for the quilted leather and hardware?
A: We recommend wiping it gently with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth, avoiding overfilling, and keeping it away from prolonged sunlight, moisture and rough surfaces. When not in use, store it upright in a breathable pouch with the shape lightly supported, and keep chains from pressing into the leather.

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

Q: How do you authenticate Chanel items?
