Perfect for an elegant evening out, this black Chanel Classic Medium Double Flap adds polished sophistication to a cocktail party, theatre night or celebratory dinner. Its timeless silhouette transitions seamlessly from daytime meetings to after-dark events, elevating tailored looks and little black dresses alike.
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 how does the Medium Double Flap carry?
A: This Classic Medium measures approximately 25.5 × 16 × 6.5 cm. The chain drop is about 23 cm when doubled for shoulder carry and roughly 42 cm when worn with a single chain. It is designed primarily as a shoulder bag; on many heights it will sit higher if worn crossbody. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact figures.
Q: What typically fits inside this size?
A: Daily essentials such as a smartphone, compact wallet or card holder, keys, lipstick, and slim sunglasses in a soft pouch. A slim continental wallet can fit but may reduce overall capacity due to the double flap. Tablets do not fit. Packing efficiency will vary; check the Measurements for guidance.
Q: Can the Medium be worn crossbody comfortably?
A: It can be worn crossbody with the single chain (approx. 42 cm drop), but it tends to sit high on the torso for many wearers. Crossbody comfort depends on your height and preference; most use this size on the shoulder (single or doubled chain).
Q: What is the purpose of the double flap and how does it affect capacity?
A: The double flap helps the bag keep its structure, adds organisation with multiple interior pockets, and protects the lining. It slightly reduces interior space compared with single-flap styles or minis.
Q: Is the hardware real gold-plated?
A: Modern Classic Flaps (post-2008) use gold-tone hardware rather than 24k gold plating. This piece features gold-tone hardware.
Q: How much does the Medium typically weigh?
A: Weight varies slightly by leather and season, but Medium Classic Flaps are commonly around 600–700 grams empty. Actual weight can differ a little from piece to piece.
Q: How should I care for black lambskin leather?
A: Avoid prolonged sun, moisture and oils. If it gets lightly marked, gently buff the area with a soft, dry cloth in small circular motions. Store it upright in its dust bag with the chain wrapped to prevent imprints, and avoid overfilling to keep the quilting and shape crisp.
Q: What does the serial number 30027008 indicate?
A: Chanel 30-series serials typically correspond to 2021 production. Around 2021 the house also began phasing in microchips on many styles, so some pieces from that period have a traditional serial identifier while later ones have a metal microchip plate.
Q: What is included with this item?
A: As listed in the product information, this piece comes with a dust bag, brand booklets, and a serial number identifier. Anything not listed there is not included—please contact us if you would like us to confirm specific contents.
Q: Where was this bag made?
A: France, as stated on the origin label and stamp.
