Q: What is caviar leather, and how does it compare with lambskin?
A: Caviar is Chanel’s pebbled, grained calfskin leather. Its textured surface is generally more forgiving of light marks than smooth lambskin, making it a practical option for regular use. It is not scratch-proof and still needs careful handling.

A: Double flap means the bag has an outer flap and a second inner flap covering the main interior. You open both flaps to access the main compartment.

Q: What condition is this particular bag in?
A: This pre-owned bag is graded Very Good Condition. Both the exterior and interior show light traces of use. The hardware remains shiny with light scratches, so the bag should not be expected to look brand new.

Q: How should I clean and store this bag?
A: Gently wipe it with a soft cloth and avoid cleaning products that could alter the leather’s finish. Keep it away from prolonged sunlight, heat and moisture. Store it upright in a protective pouch, with tissue paper around the chain to help prevent impressions on the leather. Avoid overfilling it to preserve its shape.

Q: Can I use this caviar leather bag in the rain?
A: It is best to protect the bag from rain rather than treat it as waterproof. If it gets wet, carefully blot the affected area with an absorbent, non-pilling cloth and allow it to dry naturally away from direct heat.

Q: Does this bag come with a box, dust bag or authenticity card?
A: No accompanying accessories are specified in the product information. Please contact A Retro Tale to confirm what is included before purchasing; a box, dust bag or authenticity card should not be assumed to accompany the bag.

Q: Where was this bag made, and what year is it from?
A: The product information lists France as its country of origin. No serial number or production year is provided, so the age of this particular bag cannot be confirmed from the available details.
