Q: What are the measurements and carry style of the Chanel Caviar Medallion Tote? A: This model measures approximately 29 × 24 × 14 cm with a handle drop of about 17 cm. It is designed primarily for hand or crook-of-arm carry; some users can wear it on the shoulder depending on build and layers, but it is not intended as a long‑strap shoulder tote.
Q: What typically fits inside? A: Daily essentials such as a large smartphone, continental wallet, keys, slim sunglasses case, cosmetics pouch, small water bottle, A5 diary/notebook and a small tablet (e.g., iPad up to 11-inch) fit comfortably. A4 documents can usually be placed horizontally due to the zip top. Most 13-inch laptops are a tight fit and are not recommended for regular use.

A4 documents can usually be placed horizontally due to the zip top. Most 13-inch laptops are a tight fit and are not recommended for regular use.
Q: Is the Medallion Tote discontinued? A: Yes. The Medallion Tote was produced in the early 2000s and was discontinued in the early 2010s. It is now considered a vintage Chanel style and is available only on the pre‑owned market.
Q: What does the serial number 6288474 indicate? A: Chanel 7‑digit serial numbers starting with “6” correspond to circa 2000–2002 production. This aligns with the Medallion Tote’s era and confirms the piece’s vintage status.
Q: What are the defining features of this model? A: Quilted caviar (grained calfskin) leather with a stitched CC motif on the front, dual rolled top handles, a rear slip pocket, a top zip closure with a round CC medallion pull, and a leather‑lined interior with one zip pocket and one slip pocket. Hardware is gold‑tone on this piece.
Q: How durable is Chanel caviar leather and how should I care for it? A: Caviar leather is known for its pebbled texture and high resistance to scratches and day‑to‑day wear. Wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth, allow to air‑dry away from heat or direct sunlight, and condition sparingly with a quality neutral leather cream a few times per year. Store the bag upright, loosely stuffed, in a breathable dust bag to maintain its shape and avoid handle distortion. Avoid harsh chemicals and prolonged moisture.
Q: Is the interior leather and does the bag have a structured shape? A: Yes, the Medallion Tote typically features a leather interior and a structured, boxy profile with a flat base, so it stands upright when set down.
Q: Approximately how much does the bag weigh? A: Pre‑owned examples typically weigh around 0.7 kg to 0.8 kg, which is comfortable for daily carry with essentials.
Q: Where was this bag made? A: Authentic Chanel handbags are made in France or Italy. This piece is stamped Made in Italy, as shown in the product images and details.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information section on this page. If a dust bag, authenticity card or other item is not listed there, it is not included—contact us if you need clarification.
