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 typical dimensions and strap drop of the Chanel Classic Medium Double Flap? A: The Medium (often called M/L) typically measures about 25.5 × 15.5 × 6.5 cm. The chain can be worn doubled or single; the drop is commonly around 23–25 cm when doubled and 40–43 cm when worn single. For this specific bag, the strap drop is approximately 25/40 cm as listed under Measurements.
Q: Can the Medium Classic Flap be worn crossbody? A: It is primarily designed as a shoulder bag. Some people can wear it crossbody depending on torso length; on most, it sits quite high when crossbody due to the chain length. If crossbody wear is essential for you, we suggest trying it on for comfort.
Q: What typically fits inside the Medium Double Flap? A: Daily essentials such as a smartphone, keys, a small or compact wallet, a few cosmetics, and sunglasses in a soft case typically fit. Avoid overfilling to preserve the silhouette and to prevent pressure marks on the leather and flaps.
Q: What is the purpose of the double flap and all the pockets? A: The inner flap helps the bag keep its shape, offers added security, and creates an organised interior with slip pockets and a lipstick slot. The small zipped pocket under the outer flap is often referred to in Chanel lore as the “love letter” pocket.
Q: Is lambskin delicate and how should I care for this beige colour? A: Lambskin is soft and more prone to surface marks than grained leathers. Wipe gently with a soft cloth and avoid harsh products. Store upright in a dust bag, loosely stuffed to maintain shape, and wrap the chain to prevent imprints. To minimise colour transfer on light leather, avoid prolonged contact with dark fabrics (for example, denim) and strong light or humidity.
Q: Will a larger smartphone fit? A: Most modern smartphones fit, though very large models with thick cases may be snug. If you use a bulky case, you may prefer a slimmer wallet or moving a few items to keep the interior comfortable and the flap easy to close.
Q: What is the difference between single flap and double flap, and are single flaps still made? A: Single flaps have only the exterior flap; double flaps add an inner flap for structure and organisation. Chanel discontinued single flaps for the Classic line years ago; current Classic Flaps, including the Medium, are double flap designs.
Q: What does the serial number 6276115 indicate? A: Chanel 7‑digit serial numbers beginning with 6 generally indicate production in the 2000–2002 period. Note that a serial number alone does not prove authenticity; it should be considered together with construction details and expert evaluation.
Q: What accessories are included with this specific bag? A: As listed under Accessories for this item: dust bag, authenticity card, and serial number tag. If you need confirmation of what’s included in the shipment, contact us before purchase.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this bag? A: Every item we offer undergoes a multi-point inspection of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, and the serial number by our in-house experts. We stand by the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to provide additional details on request.
