Perfect for weddings, garden parties or chic city brunches, this vintage Chanel Classic Flap in beige quilted lambskin adds understated elegance. The gold-tone chain-and-leather strap and CC turn-lock make it a refined choice for day-to-evening looks, complementing pastels and neutrals with timeless sophistication.
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 typically fits inside this Medium Classic Single Flap? A: It comfortably holds a large smartphone, a small wallet or cardholder, keys, lipstick and a few small essentials. Slim sunglasses fit best in a soft pouch. The single‑flap construction offers slightly more usable space and a lighter feel compared with the double‑flap version. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: Can I wear it crossbody? A: The chain can be worn doubled on the shoulder or extended as a single strap. For this piece, our measured strap drop is approximately 24 cm when doubled and 42 cm when worn long. The Medium can be worn crossbody on many body types, though it sits higher on taller frames—please check the strap measurements against your preferred drop.
Q: Is this bag vintage and what does the serial number mean? A: Yes. The serial number 4566588 corresponds to Chanel’s 4‑series, which dates to approximately 1996–1997. That places this piece in the vintage era.
Q: How does a single flap differ from the Classic Double Flap? A: A single flap has one exterior flap covering the main compartment, so it tends to be lighter with slightly more interior room. The Classic Double Flap adds an internal flap for extra structure and organisation. Chanel moved the Classic sizes to double‑flap construction in the 2010s, so single‑flap Classics are generally from earlier periods.
Q: What leather is this and how should I care for it? A: It is beige quilted lambskin. Keep it away from moisture, direct heat and prolonged sunlight. Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth; avoid harsh products. Store upright in a breathable dust bag, loosely stuffed to maintain shape, and wrap the chain to prevent imprints on the leather. With light colours, be mindful of colour transfer from dark fabrics.
Q: Does it come with any extras? A: Everything included is listed under the product information section on this page. If an item (such as a dust bag or authenticity card) is not stated there, it is not included.
Q: What are the condition notes I should be aware of? A: External condition is good with corner scuffs and some marks on the leather; the interior shows scratches and scuffs with a slight vintage odour; hardware is shiny with light scratches. Please review all photos and the condition grading for full details.
Q: Will my phone fit? A: Most modern smartphones fit comfortably, along with a small wallet and daily essentials. Bulky cases and hard sunglass cases may be tight due to the structured profile—soft pouches are recommended.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes a rigorous, multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts, including assessment of materials, stitching, stamps, serial sticker, hardware and construction. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to provide additional photos or details on request.
