Q: What typically fits inside this Chanel CC Choco Bar Patent Flap Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 26 x 16 x 6 cm, it comfortably fits a phone, a compact or medium wallet, keys, sunglasses, lipstick and a few small daily essentials. It is best suited to essentials rather than bulky items or a tablet. As with all vintage bags, usable space can vary slightly depending on previous storage and how you pack it.
Q: Can this bag be worn on the shoulder or cross-body? A: The interwoven chain and leather strap measures approximately 55 cm. For most people it works well as a shoulder bag, and on some frames it may sit as a short cross-body. The fit will depend on your height and preferred styling.
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.

It is best suited to essentials rather than bulky items or a tablet. As with all vintage bags, usable space can vary slightly depending on previous storage and how you pack it.
Q: Can this bag be worn on the shoulder or cross-body? A: The interwoven chain and leather strap measures approximately 55 cm. For most people it works well as a shoulder bag, and on some frames it may sit as a short cross-body. The fit will depend on your height and preferred styling.
Q: What does Choco Bar mean? A: Choco Bar, also called Chocolate Bar, refers to the distinctive square quilted pattern that resembles pieces of a chocolate bar. It gives the bag a cleaner, more geometric look than Chanel's classic diamond quilting and is strongly associated with early-2000s Chanel designs.
Q: Is this bag vintage, and what does the serial number indicate? A: Yes, this is a vintage Chanel piece. The 7-digit serial number format is consistent with Chanel bags from the earlier serial sticker era, and this specific serial range dates the bag to approximately 2002 to 2003.
Q: What is included with this piece? A: This bag comes with the serial number noted in the product information. If anything else were included, it would also be listed in the product information on this page.
Q: What condition is this bag in? A: This piece is graded Very Good Condition. The exterior and interior both show light traces of use, while the hardware remains shiny with light scratches, which is typical and expected for a carefully used vintage Chanel bag.
Q: How should I care for patent leather? A: Wipe it gently with a soft dry cloth after use, avoid harsh cleaners, and keep it away from prolonged sunlight, heat and moisture. For storage, keep the bag upright, protect the chain so it does not press into the leather, and lightly stuff the interior to help maintain the shape.
Q: Is patent leather prone to marks or stickiness over time? A: Patent leather can show fingerprints, light surface marks and colour transfer more easily than matte finishes. Older patent pieces can also become tacky if stored in heat or humidity, so it is best kept in a cool, dry place away from dark fabrics, printed materials and plastics.
Q: How do you authenticate this Chanel bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is checked by in-house experts using a multi-point review of materials, construction, hardware, markings and serial details. We stand behind the authenticity of every piece we sell.
