Vintage CC Charm Tote
Red · gold HW
Catalogued June 2026
This is the bag resellers call the Vintage CC Charm Tote, a quilted zip-top chain tote whose tell is the gold CC charm dangling from a short chain at one strap ring; the body itself carries no CC hardware. It hangs on two leather-woven chain straps and closes with a top zip rather than a flap. Chanel never published a model name for this piece, so the CC Charm Tote label is reseller consensus, used by Rebag, myGemma, and others. Sellers generally place the family in the late 1980s to 1990s, but without a serial we are not pinning a year; the gold interior stamp is one of the vintage markers to check.
