Perfect for weddings, cocktail parties and gallery openings, this vintage Chanel Classic Small Double Flap in black jersey adds effortless polish to a little black dress or tailored suiting. Compact for evening essentials, its timeless look and gold‑tone accents move seamlessly from reception to late‑night dinner.
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 the Chanel Classic Small Double Flap? A: The Small is compact and ideal for day‑to‑evening essentials. Expect room for a smartphone, a small wallet or card holder, keys, and a lipstick or compact. Capacity varies by how you pack and the double flap slightly reduces interior space; please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions (approx. 23 × 15 × 7 cm).
Q: Can I wear this Small size crossbody? A: This model is primarily designed for the shoulder. The strap on this piece measures approximately 18 cm when doubled and 32 cm when worn long on one shoulder (see product information). Many find this drop too short for a traditional crossbody fit; it is best worn either doubled or long on the shoulder.
Q: What is Chanel “jersey” and how durable is it? A: Jersey is a soft knit fabric that gives a lighter, dressier feel than leather. As a textile, it can be more prone to pilling or snagging if rubbed against rough surfaces. We recommend mindful use for occasions or gentle daily wear and avoiding friction from coarse fabrics.
Q: How should I care for and store a jersey Classic Flap? A: Keep the bag away from direct sunlight, artificial light, and humidity. If it gets wet, blot gently with a non‑pilling, absorbent cloth. Avoid harsh cleaners; for marks or deep cleaning, consult a specialist. When storing, lightly stuff to maintain shape, wrap the chain to prevent impressions, and keep upright in a breathable dust bag. Periodically air it out in a cool, dry place.
Q: What are the benefits of the double flap? A: The second internal flap adds structure and an extra layer of security, helping the outer flap keep its shape over time and offering additional organisation. The trade‑off is a touch more weight and slightly less internal space than a single‑flap construction.
Q: What is included according to the product information? A: For this piece, the product information lists a dust bag and a serial number tag. Everything included is always stated in the product information; if an item such as an authenticity card or box is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: The serial sticker is removed/illegible—can the bag still be authenticated? A: Yes. A Retro Tale authenticates every item through multi‑point checks of materials, quilting, stitching, stamps, hardware, and interior construction. While older Chanel pieces used a serial sticker and card (and newer ones may use a microchip), authenticity can still be determined without a readable sticker. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to share additional details on request.
Q: What condition should I expect on this item? A: Very good overall with a light trace of use. The hardware is shiny with light scratches, the interior notes a light vintage smell, and the serial sticker has been removed. Please review the photos for the most accurate view of condition.
Q: Is the chain length adjustable? A: The chain is not adjustable in the traditional sense. It is designed to be worn either doubled for a shorter shoulder drop or extended for a longer single‑shoulder drop. To protect the jersey, avoid letting the bare chain press into the fabric when storing—wrap it first.
