Q: What typically fits inside the Chanel Banane Fanny Pack (Waist/Bum Bag)? A: With approximate measurements of 25 × 13 × 7 cm, it comfortably carries daily essentials: a large smartphone (including most Pro/Max models), a compact wallet or cardholder, keys, wireless earbuds, lipstick and a slim sunglasses sleeve. A passport fits; an A5 notebook does not lie flat, and a 500 ml water bottle is not recommended due to the curved, shallow profile.
Q: Will it fit a passport and travel essentials securely? A: Yes—your passport, phone, cardholder and keys fit comfortably. For travel and crowded areas, wear it to the front and keep the zip fully closed for added security.
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.

A passport fits; an A5 notebook does not lie flat, and a 500 ml water bottle is not recommended due to the curved, shallow profile.
Q: Can I wear it crossbody as well as around the waist? A: Yes. The leather‑and‑chain strap is adjustable for waist or hip wear and also works as a high crossbody/sling across the chest on most frames. If you’d like the precise adjustable range for this specific piece, ask us and we’ll measure to the last hole/setting.
Q: How secure is the closure and what is the interior like? A: It has a top zip closure for everyday security. The interior is lined in black fabric with one internal pocket to organise smaller items—great for cards, receipts or a key fob.
Q: What is the leather and hardware on this piece? A: This item is crafted in black quilted leather with silver‑tone hardware. Chanel has produced the Banane/waist‑bag silhouette in different leathers across seasons; this example is smooth quilted leather, so we recommend mindful wear to minimise surface marks.
Q: How should I care for the leather and chain? A: Keep the bag away from prolonged sunlight, humidity and oils. If lightly wet, blot gently with a soft, absorbent cloth and allow to air‑dry away from heat. Wipe the leather with a clean, soft cloth only (avoid harsh cleaners), and store upright, lightly stuffed, in a breathable dust bag with the chain wrapped to prevent impressions or scratches.
Q: When was this piece produced and where is it made? A: The internal serial number begins with 19 (19897646), indicating production circa 2014. The brand stamp for this piece states Made in Italy.
Q: Is the Chanel Banane/waist bag still produced? A: Chanel releases belt/waist (bum) bags seasonally, so availability varies by year. Specific configurations like this black quilted version are most commonly found on the pre‑loved market.
Q: Will it fit a passport and travel essentials securely? A: Yes—your passport, phone, cardholder and keys fit comfortably. For travel and crowded areas, wear it to the front and keep the zip fully closed for added security.
Q: What accessories are included and how do you authenticate? A: Everything included is listed under “Accessories” for this item: dust bag and the internal serial number tag. If an authenticity card or box isn’t mentioned there, it isn’t included—feel free to ask us to confirm. Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts, assessing materials, stitching, hardware, stamps/serial sticker and overall construction—we stand behind the authenticity of every piece we sell.
