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 Aged Calfskin Chic Quilt Medium Single Flap? A: With approximate measurements of 25.5 × 19 × 9 cm, it’s ideal for daily essentials: a large smartphone, compact wallet/cardholder, keys, lipstick, slim sunglasses in a soft case and a small cosmetics pouch. An A5 notebook and compact tablets (e.g., iPad mini/Kindle) can usually fit; A4 documents won’t lie flat and a 500 ml water bottle is generally a tight, upright fit only. For tailored fit advice for this exact piece, just ask and we’ll test your item dimensions against the bag.
Q: Can I wear it crossbody? Is the strap adjustable? A: The chain-and-leather strap is not adjustable. It can be worn doubled for shoulder carry (approx. 23 cm drop) or as a single chain (approx. 48 cm drop) for shoulder or high crossbody wear, depending on your height and layers. Many wearers find the Medium sits fairly high when crossbody.
Q: How secure is the closure and what is the interior layout? A: This single‑flap design uses a CC turn‑lock for secure everyday use. Inside you’ll find a beige canvas lining with organisational pockets (see our photos for the exact layout). We recommend keeping valuables in the interior pocket and keeping the bag upright while commuting.
Q: What is “aged calfskin” and how does it wear? A: Aged calfskin has a gently distressed, vintage look designed to show natural character while being comparatively forgiving of light surface marks. It’s supple with a soft hand and tends to be less prone to showing fine scratches than smooth lambskin. As with all leathers, avoid heavy rain and prolonged moisture.
Q: How should I care for the leather and gold‑tone hardware? A: Wipe leather occasionally with a soft, dry cloth; condition sparingly with a high‑quality neutral product only after testing on a discreet area. Keep away from oils, perfumes and colour‑transfer risks (e.g., dark denim). Store the bag upright, lightly stuffed, in a breathable dust bag, and place felt/soft cloth between the chain and leather to prevent imprints. Hardware will naturally develop hairline scratches; avoid abrasive contact and polish gently with a microfibre cloth (no harsh chemicals).
Q: Will the chain or turn‑lock leave marks on the flap? A: Chain imprints can occur if the strap presses against the leather during storage. Tuck the chain inside the bag with a protective felt/soft cloth and avoid overstuffing. Take care when opening/closing the turn‑lock near hard surfaces to minimise scuffs on the CC hardware.
Q: What year is this bag from? A: The serial number 15924811 indicates production in the early 2010s based on Chanel’s serial series charts. We’re happy to provide close‑up photos of the serial tag and discuss era‑specific details on request.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This listing includes the internal serial number tag. If an authenticity card, box or dust bag isn’t listed under “Accessories,” it isn’t included. Please contact us if you’d like us to reconfirm the contents.
Q: What condition notes should I be aware of? A: Overall Good condition with light traces of use. The interior lining shows stains and marks; the hardware displays scratches and some discolouration. Please review our detailed photos and Condition section for a close look before purchase.
Q: Can Chanel or a specialist restore or service this bag? A: Chanel boutiques may offer repairs subject to assessment and parts availability. Independent luxury leather specialists can provide cleaning, colour touch‑ups and hardware work. We’re happy to advise on reputable services and help you prepare for a boutique or atelier evaluation.
