Perfect for winter evenings and city dinners, this vintage Chanel CC Accordion Single Flap Bag in black adds plush texture with its fur-trimmed quilting and timeless polish. Spacious yet elegant, it transitions from daytime engagements to cocktail hours with ease, lending refined Parisian charm to tailored coats, knit dresses, and after-dark looks.
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 CC Accordion Single Flap Bag (approx. 35 × 20 × 12 cm)? A: It comfortably holds a long wallet, smartphone, sunglasses, keys, a small cosmetics pouch and an A5 notebook. It can fit a tablet up to around 11–12 inches. Most 13-inch laptops exceed the 20 cm height and are unlikely to fit. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: Can the strap be worn crossbody? A: The interwoven chain-and-leather strap on this piece measures approximately 49 cm in drop. It is primarily a shoulder carry; some may wear it crossbody depending on height and preference. The strap can also be doubled to shorten the drop for a closer-to-shoulder fit.
Q: Is this a single or double flap, and what is the difference? A: This is a single-flap design with a CC turn-lock closure. Single flaps have one exterior flap over the main compartment, while double flaps add a second internal flap. Chanel discontinued most single-flap Classic sizes in 2014; single flaps are now mainly found as vintage or seasonal styles on the pre-owned market.
Q: What does the serial number 12247099 indicate about its age? A: The first two digits place it in Chanel’s 12-series, dating the bag to approximately 2008–2009. Serial codes indicate a production window but are not, by themselves, proof of authenticity.
Q: Is the bag expandable? A: Yes. The accordion side construction allows the main compartment to expand modestly to accommodate daily essentials while maintaining a streamlined silhouette. To preserve shape, avoid overfilling and heavy loads.
Q: How is the interior organised? A: It features a brown satin lining with one main compartment and one internal zip pocket, secured by a front flap with CC turn-lock closure.
Q: How should I care for the lambskin leather and shearling trim? A: For lambskin, use a soft cloth only and avoid care products that may alter the finish; to reduce the look of light marks, gently rub in small circles. Keep away from prolonged light and humidity; if it gets wet, blot dry with a non‑pilling cloth. Store upright with the chain wrapped to prevent imprints. For the shearling trim, avoid rain and friction, and lightly brush the wool in the direction of the pile with a clean, soft brush; for stains or deep cleaning, consult a professional leather and shearling specialist.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed in the product information section. For this piece, a serial number tag is included. If items such as an authenticity card, dust bag or box are not listed there, they are not included.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is thoroughly vetted by our in‑house specialists using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and serial details. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide further details on request.
Q: Is this model still produced by Chanel? A: This is a vintage seasonal style and is not part of Chanel’s current line-up. Availability is primarily through trusted pre‑owned retailers like A Retro Tale.
