Sun‑ready and effortlessly chic, this vintage Chanel in ecru raffia crochet with gold‑tone accents is ideal for summer weddings, garden parties and alfresco brunches. Its light, textured finish complements breezy daywear and polished evening looks on holiday, making it a refined companion from city strolls to coastal dinners.
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 Raffia Crochet Single Flap? A: With measurements of approximately 26 × 15 × 9 cm, it fits daily essentials such as a smartphone, compact wallet or cardholder, keys, sunglasses in a soft pouch, and a few small cosmetics. To preserve the silhouette, avoid overfilling and bulky hard cases.
Q: Can the chain be worn crossbody? A: The interwoven chain-and-leather strap can be worn doubled or single. The drop is about 28 cm when doubled and about 49 cm when worn long. It is ideal as a shoulder bag; crossbody wear may sit high on the torso depending on your height and build.
Q: Is raffia durable enough for everyday use? A: Raffia is lightweight and reasonably sturdy for regular light use, but it is more sensitive to abrasion and snagging than leather. Avoid rough surfaces and sharp jewellery, and don’t overload the bag to protect the crochet work and maintain its shape.
Q: Can I carry this bag in the rain? A: It’s best to keep raffia dry. If it gets damp, blot gently with a clean, absorbent cloth and let it air-dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not use a hairdryer or heater, and only store it once completely dry.
Q: How should I clean the raffia exterior? A: Dust with a soft brush or lint-free cloth. For small marks, dab (don’t rub) with a barely damp cloth and a drop of mild soap, then wipe with clean water and air-dry. Never soak or submerge the bag. For stubborn stains or structural issues, seek a professional familiar with natural fibres.
Q: How should I store the bag when not in use? A: Lightly stuff with acid-free tissue to support the shape, tuck the chain inside to avoid imprints, and store in a breathable dust bag in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. Avoid hanging by the strap for long periods.
Q: Will the light ecru colour pick up dye from clothing? A: Light-toned materials can show colour transfer from dark denim and saturated fabrics. Avoid prolonged contact with such garments and wipe the bag down gently after wear to minimise transfer.
Q: Does this piece come with any accessories? A: This item includes its serial number tag. Any other items such as a dust bag or authenticity card would be listed under Accessories; if not listed, they are not included.
Q: What does the serial number 24860574 indicate? A: A 24XXXXXX Chanel serial number corresponds to production around 2017–2018, which aligns with this piece’s era.
Q: Is a single flap different from the classic double flap? A: Yes. A single flap has one main flap and interior, making it a touch lighter with slightly more usable space for its size. A double flap adds an inner flap and extra pockets that enhance structure and organisation but reduce capacity slightly.
