Product Description
Perfect for busy weekdays and relaxed weekends alike, this vintage Chanel CC Denim Quilted XL Spirit Cabas adds effortless, casual-chic polish to off-duty and smart-casual looks. With roomy proportions for daily essentials, its grey quilted denim and silver-tone accents make it an ideal companion for city errands, coffee dates, or effortless travel.
Q: What typically fits inside the Chanel CC Denim Quilted XL Spirit/Coco Cabas? A: With an approx. 48 × 25 × 19 cm silhouette, it’s a roomy tote. It typically holds a 13-inch laptop (often with a slim sleeve), A4 documents or a magazine, smartphone, a continental wallet, keys, sunglasses in a soft case, a cosmetics pouch, a small water bottle and a light cardigan/scarf. Capacity can vary slightly by era—please refer to the Measurements on this page or ask us for a personalised fit check for this exact piece.
Q: Will it fit a laptop or tablet? A: Most 13-inch and many 14-inch laptops fit comfortably. A 15-inch can often fit without a bulky sleeve but may sit high near the top opening. Compare your device’s dimensions with the Measurements shown (Width 48 cm, Height 25 cm), or ask us to perform a quick fit test for this item.
Q: Are the straps adjustable? Can I wear it crossbody? A: The dual leather-and-chain handles are not adjustable, and this tote does not include a long crossbody strap. It’s designed for shoulder or hand/arm carry. We list the strap drop under Measurements—this piece shows approximately a 29 cm drop, which generally sits comfortably under the arm, including over light outerwear.
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: Are the straps adjustable? Can I wear it crossbody? A: The dual leather-and-chain handles are not adjustable, and this tote does not include a long crossbody strap. It’s designed for shoulder or hand/arm carry. We list the strap drop under Measurements—this piece shows approximately a 29 cm drop, which generally sits comfortably under the arm, including over light outerwear.
Q: How secure is the closure and what does the interior look like? A: Spirit/Coco Cabas totes vary by season: many feature an open top with a magnetic snap, and interiors commonly include a zipped pocket and one or more slip pockets. Our listing photos show the exact configuration of this bag; the description notes a grey fabric lining with internal pockets. For commuting or travel, we recommend using a small zip pouch inside for valuables.
Q: What materials and hardware does this piece have, and where is it made? A: This listing specifies grey quilted denim with silver-tone hardware, dual leather-and-chain handles, and a grey fabric lining with internal pockets. It is stamped Made in Italy. Our photos display the exact finishes and details of this item.
Q: How should I care for the denim and hardware? A: Keep the bag away from moisture, oils and prolonged sunlight, and be mindful of colour transfer (both to and from dark clothing). Use a soft lint roller or fabric brush to lift dust; spot-clean gently with a barely damp cloth and a mild fabric-safe solution, testing first on a discreet area. Do not saturate; allow to air-dry away from heat. Wipe hardware with a soft, dry cloth and avoid abrasive polishes. Store lightly stuffed, upright, in a breathable dust bag.
Q: Can the chain or hardware leave marks on the fabric? A: Over time, chain friction can cause light wear on denim or imprints on leather trim. To minimise this, tuck the chain inside with a soft cloth during storage, avoid prolonged rubbing against rough surfaces, and don’t overfill the bag so the chain sits naturally.
Q: Is the Coco/Spirit Cabas still produced? A: This line is generally discontinued; the pre-loved market is the best way to find specific versions like this grey quilted denim XL. Details can vary slightly by year—our listing shows the exact configuration of this vintage piece.
Q: Where are the brand markings and codes located, and how is dating handled? A: Authentic Chanel bags feature interior brand stamps (e.g., “CHANEL” and the country of origin). Vintage pieces like this typically include a hologram serial sticker and an authenticity card. This item carries serial number 12781061, corresponding approximately to a 12-series (circa 2008–2009). Chanel transitioned to embedded microchips around 2021. We’re happy to share close-up photos and help with dating on request.
Q: What accessories are included and how do you authenticate? A: Included items are listed under “Accessories”; for this piece we note a dust bag, authenticity card, booklet and serial number tag. Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous, multi-point authentication by our in-house experts, assessing materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, serial sticker/card and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of all pieces we sell.
