Q: What can this Chanel CC Suede Tote carry day to day? A: With approximate measurements of 30 × 26 × 8 cm, it comfortably holds a long wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses case, small cosmetics pouch and an A5 diary. Slim A4 papers can fit placed sideways, though the top zip may be snug. An 11-inch tablet fits; a 13-inch laptop is generally too tight, especially with a case. Please compare your items to the measurements provided.
Q: Is it comfortable to wear on the shoulder? A: Yes. The dual shoulder straps have an approximate 28 cm drop, which typically allows comfortable shoulder carry, even 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.

Slim A4 papers can fit placed sideways, though the top zip may be snug. An 11-inch tablet fits; a 13-inch laptop is generally too tight, especially with a case. Please compare your items to the measurements provided.
Q: Is it comfortable to wear on the shoulder? A: Yes. The dual shoulder straps have an approximate 28 cm drop, which typically allows comfortable shoulder carry, even over light outerwear.
Q: How secure is the bag for everyday use? A: The main compartment closes with a top zip for added security. There is also a handy front pocket secured by a CC turn‑lock for quick‑access items you still want to keep fastened.
Q: How should I care for the suede exterior? A: Brush the nap gently with a suede brush to lift marks and keep the surface even. Keep the bag away from prolonged moisture and direct sunlight, and avoid overfilling to maintain its shape. If it becomes damp, blot gently with an absorbent, non‑pilling cloth and allow it to air dry away from heat.
Q: Can I use a suede protector on this bag? A: Many owners choose to apply a suede protector to help resist light rain and stains. Always test on a discreet area first, as some sprays can slightly deepen colour or change the feel of the nap. Reapply periodically according to the product’s instructions.
Q: Will the suede show rubbing or colour transfer? A: Suede is prone to flattening of the nap and may show rub marks over time, especially on corners and high‑touch areas. Dark denim and other richly dyed garments can transfer colour onto lighter leathers and suedes, particularly with friction or humidity. Consider pre‑treating with a protector and avoid prolonged contact between light and dark materials.
Q: What does the serial number 3649362 indicate about its age? A: A Chanel serial number beginning with 3 is widely associated with mid‑1990s production (approximately 1994–1996). Exact dating cannot be confirmed by the serial alone, but it provides a helpful window for vintage reference.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything that comes with the bag is listed under the product information on this page. For this piece, a serial number tag is included. If an item such as a dust bag or card isn’t listed there, it is not included.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamping and serial details. We stand behind the authenticity of all items and are happy to provide further details or photos on request.
Q: How should I store the bag when not in use? A: Store it loosely stuffed to support its shape and place it in a breathable dust bag in a cool, dry area away from direct light. Avoid stacking other items on top to prevent pressure marks on the suede.
