Elevate brunches, gallery openings or afternoon weddings with this vintage Chanel Beauty Split Flap. In beige quilted leather with silver-tone accents, its dual leather-and-chain shoulder strap offers effortless elegance, while the CC turn-lock keeps essentials secure.
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.
Q: What are the measurements and what typically fits inside? A: Approx. 29 × 17 × 10 cm with a strap drop of about 53 cm. It comfortably holds a long wallet, smartphone, keys, sunglasses case, small makeup pouch and travel essentials such as a passport. A slim 8-inch tablet (e.g., iPad mini) can fit; avoid overfilling to maintain the bag’s shape.
Q: Can I wear this bag crossbody as well as on the shoulder? A: Yes. With an approximate 53 cm (about 21 in) drop when the chain is worn long, many users find it suitable for crossbody. The strap can also be doubled for a shorter shoulder carry. Crossbody comfort varies by height and layering.
Q: What does “Beauty Split” refer to on this Chanel flap? A: It is a seasonal Chanel flap design that retains the classic quilting and CC turn-lock, and many examples feature split slip pockets beneath the front flap for quick-access items. Layouts can vary by season; this piece has fabric lining with one internal zip pocket as listed and shown in our photos.
Q: What is the production period of this bag’s serial number 14317514? A: The 14-series (8-digit) Chanel serial numbers typically correspond to around 2010–2011 production.
Q: Is the strap removable or adjustable? A: The leather‑woven chain strap is not removable. It can be worn as a single longer strap or doubled to shorten the drop for shoulder wear.
Q: What is included in the product information for this item? A: This listing includes the serial number tag. Everything included is stated under product information; if an item such as an authenticity card, dust bag or box is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: What is the condition of this pre-loved piece? A: Good overall. The leather shows signs of wear with a small spot on the exterior and scuffing on the edges. Inside, there are small marks and scratches on the underside of the flap. Hardware remains shiny with light surface scratches. Please review the photos for a full view of condition.
Q: How should I care for the beige leather to minimise colour transfer and wear? A: Wipe with a soft, dry, lint‑free cloth after use; avoid contact with water, oils, alcohol-based products and dark denim or saturated fabrics that may transfer dye. Store upright, lightly stuffed, in a breathable dust bag away from direct light and humidity. For deeper cleaning, consult a professional leather specialist.
Q: Where was this bag made and how do you authenticate it? A: Made in France. Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously authenticated by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and serial code consistency. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
