A refined choice for dinners, theatre nights or polished city days, this vintage Chanel Classic Flap in black quilted Caviar leather with gold-tone hardware and a woven chain-leather strap moves effortlessly from desk to drinks. The double-flap design with burgundy lining keeps essentials poised, while the signature CC turn-lock adds iconic finish.
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 dimensions and strap drop of the Medium Classic Double Flap? A: This Medium size measures approximately 25 × 16 × 7 cm. The chain-and-leather strap can be worn two ways: about 24 cm drop when doubled on the shoulder, or about 43 cm drop as a single strap for a longer shoulder carry.
Q: What typically fits inside this Medium size? A: Daily essentials such as a large smartphone, compact wallet or cardholder, keys, lipstick, and sunglasses in a soft pouch will fit comfortably. Because the bag has a double flap, the interior is structured and slightly compact—avoid overfilling to maintain its shape and ensure smooth closure.
Q: Can the Medium be worn crossbody? A: It is primarily designed as a shoulder bag. Some wearers can carry it crossbody, but the 43 cm single-strap drop means it will sit higher on most frames. If you prefer a lower-sitting crossbody, consider a style with a longer strap drop.
Q: Why does the Classic Flap have a double flap? A: The second flap adds structure, helps the outer flap resist creasing, improves security and organisation, and contributes to the bag’s iconic silhouette. The trade-off is a touch less interior capacity compared with single-flap designs.
Q: How durable is Chanel’s caviar leather and how should I care for it? A: Caviar is a grained calfskin known for its resilience and scratch resistance, making it a popular choice for frequent wear. Care is simple: wipe with a soft, dry cloth; avoid harsh cleaners; keep away from prolonged light, humidity, and heat; and store upright in its dust bag with the chain tucked to prevent imprinting. Lightly stuff the bag to preserve its shape, and do not overfill.
Q: Will a large smartphone (e.g., Pro/Max models) fit? A: Yes—most large smartphones fit in the main compartment. For a smooth closure, place the phone vertically or along the back wall inside the main section rather than in the front slip pocket, especially if it has a thick case.
Q: What is the production period indicated by the serial number 24837447? A: A serial beginning with 24 typically indicates late 2017 to early 2018 production. This piece also includes its matching authenticity card and serial sticker, consistent with Chanel’s pre-2021 authentication method.
Q: Does the gold-tone hardware contain real gold plating? A: Chanel phased out 24k gold-plated hardware in late 2008. This 24-series bag (2017/2018) features gold-tone hardware without real gold plating; light, superficial scratches from normal wear are expected.
Q: Is the strap adjustable? A: The strap is not adjustable in the traditional sense, but the design allows you to switch between a doubled shoulder strap or a single, longer shoulder strap by re-threading the chain through the grommets.
Q: Can Chanel service or repair this bag in the future? A: Chanel offers aftercare and repairs through its CHANEL & moi services, and specialist ateliers can also handle cleaning and restoration. We recommend routine care and professional servicing as needed to preserve the bag’s structure, leather, and hardware. Everything currently included with this item is listed under Accessories on this page (box, dust bag, authenticity card, serial number tag).
