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 Classic Small Double Flap? A: The Small (around 23 × 14 × 6 cm) is ideal for essentials: large smartphone, compact wallet or cardholder, keys, slim sunglasses in a soft pouch, lipstick and a small compact. Because the double‑flap reduces interior depth, bulky items and rigid cases are best avoided for an easy close.
Q: Will it fit an iPhone Pro Max or a long continental wallet? A: Most large smartphones, including Pro/Max models, usually fit without a bulky case (often best placed diagonally). Full‑length continental wallets are generally too long/tall for the Small; a compact wallet or cardholder is recommended.
Q: Can I wear it crossbody and what is the strap drop? A: The interwoven chain can be worn single for a longer shoulder drop (a high crossbody on some frames) or doubled for a shorter shoulder carry. For this specific piece, please refer to the Measurements on this page (listed Strap: 60 cm) and ask us if you’d like personalised fit advice.
Q: What are the benefits of the double‑flap design? A: The second flap adds structure to help the bag keep its shape, provides extra security over the main compartment and creates an organised interior with the iconic zipped “love‑letter” pocket, main compartment and slip pockets.
Q: What is Chanel “caviar” leather and how does it compare with lambskin? A: Caviar is grained calfskin with a pebbled texture prized for its durability and resistance to surface scratches. It holds structure slightly better than lambskin, which feels softer and more luxe to the touch but is more prone to visible scuffs. Lighter caviar colours can still be susceptible to colour transfer if rubbed against dark denim or saturated fabrics.
Q: How should I care for yellow caviar leather and light gold‑tone hardware? A: Keep the bag away from heavy rain, oils and prolonged direct sunlight. Wipe with a soft, dry cloth; if you condition, use a high‑quality neutral product very sparingly and test on a discreet area first. Be mindful of colour transfer onto the yellow leather. Hardware naturally develops fine hairline scratches with use—avoid abrasive surfaces and store with soft padding between chain and leather.
Q: Is the Small Classic Flap still produced? A: Yes—Chanel continues to release the Small Classic Flap (often referred to within the Classic/11.12 family) in seasonal colours and materials. Availability, details and pricing vary by season and boutique; the pre‑loved market is the best route to specific colours like this yellow caviar edition.
Q: Where are the brand markings and codes, and should I expect an authenticity card? A: Classic Flaps feature a “CHANEL”/“Made in” heat‑stamp and interior pockets as shown in our photos. Depending on year, you’ll find either a serial sticker and matching card (pre‑2021) or a small interior metal plaque with an embedded NFC microchip (from around 2021 onward). Modern microchipped bags no longer include an authenticity card.
Q: What’s included with this exact item? A: Everything we include is listed under “Accessories.” For this piece, we note a dust bag. If an item like a box or authenticity card isn’t listed there, it isn’t included—ask us anytime for a confirmation.
Q: How do you authenticate and how should I store it? A: Every piece at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts, assessing materials, quilting, stitching, hardware, stamps and serial/microchip details. For storage, keep it upright, lightly stuffed, in a breathable dust bag; tuck and pad the chain to prevent imprints on the leather and avoid hanging the bag by its strap for long periods.
