A: The overall condition is Very Good. The exterior and interior both show light traces of use, while the hardware is described as shiny with light scratches.

Q: How should I care for vintage caviar leather?
A: To keep it looking its best, avoid overfilling the organiser, keep it away from prolonged moisture and direct heat, wipe it gently with a soft dry or slightly damp cloth, and store it flat in a breathable dust bag when not in use.

Q: How is authenticity typically assessed on a vintage Chanel organiser?
A: Buyers usually look at the overall quality of the leather, quilting, hardware, interior finishing and the serial number sticker or tag as part of the full assessment. This item includes a serial number tag, and A Retro Tale specialises in authenticated luxury vintage pieces.
