Perfect for an evening out or a polished daytime engagement, this vintage Chanel Classic Jumbo Single Flap in black quilted lambskin with gold-tone hardware adds timeless elegance. Its burgundy-lined interior with zip and slip pockets keeps essentials organised, while the woven chain-and-leather strap sits comfortably on the shoulder.
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 fits inside the Chanel Classic Jumbo Single Flap? A: The Jumbo Single Flap is renowned for its generous capacity, often holding more than the modern Double Flap version due to the lack of an inner partition. It typically accommodates a large smartphone, a continental (full-length) wallet, a cosmetics pouch, keys, sunglasses in a hard case, and a small water bottle. Most tablets (up to approx. 11 inches) fit comfortably, but larger 13-inch laptops are generally too wide for the 30 cm opening. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for specific sizing.
Q: How does the Single Flap differ from the Double Flap? A: This vintage Single Flap model is lighter and offers easier access than the current Double Flap Jumbo. Without the second interior flap, it weighs significantly less (approx. 800g vs 1.2kg for Double Flaps) and provides a roomier main compartment. However, Single Flaps have a softer structure; to maintain its shape, we recommend storing it upright with stuffing.
Q: Can I wear this bag crossbody? A: Yes, one of the distinct advantages of the vintage Jumbo Single Flap is its strap length. With a single-chain drop of approximately 62 cm (longer than many modern Double Flaps), it sits comfortably as a crossbody bag for most heights. It can also be worn with the chain doubled on the shoulder (approx. 32 cm drop).
Q: How should I care for the black lambskin leather? A: Chanel lambskin is famous for its buttery soft texture and luxurious sheen, but it is more delicate than caviar leather. Avoid contact with sharp objects, moisture, and oils (hand creams). Light scratches can often be buffed out gently with a clean finger or a soft, dry chamois cloth. Store the bag in its dust bag with the chain tucked inside (padded with felt) to prevent it from marking the leather.
Q: When was this bag produced? A: This specific piece has a serial number in the 12-series (12326943), which dates its production to approximately 2008–2009. This era is highly sought after for its durable 24K gold-plated hardware (often found on pre-2009 bags) and the beloved Single Flap construction, which was discontinued for the Jumbo size shortly after.
Q: How secure is the closure? A: The bag features the iconic CC turn-lock closure on the flap. While secure for daily use, the Single Flap design means there is no second inner flap covering your belongings, so we recommend keeping the bag closed and upright while commuting.
Q: What accessories are included with this bag? A: This item comes with its original dust bag, authenticity card, and the serial number tag attached inside. Please review the “Accessories” field and our listing photos to see exactly what accompanies this piece.
Q: How do you authenticate this item? A: Every piece at A Retro Tale is expertly vetted. For Chanel bags, we inspect the leather quality, stitching count and angle, hardware weight and finish, and the font and hologram details of the serial sticker and authenticity card. The 12-series serial sticker in this bag corresponds to the correct font and design features for the 2008–2009 period.
