Perfect for weddings, cocktail parties and chic evenings out, this Chanel Classic Medium Chic Pearl Bag adds refined sparkle with its black quilted leather, gold-tone accents and pearl-detailed chain strap. Elegant yet practical, it carries event essentials with ease, elevating any tailored or satin look.
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: Is this a Classic Flap or a seasonal style? A: This is the Chic Pearls Flap, a seasonal variation that borrows the classic flap silhouette but adds pearl details to the strap/topline and features the CC turn‑lock. It was produced in recent seasonal collections rather than being part of the permanent Classic line.
Q: What fits inside this medium size (approx. 24 × 18 × 5 cm)? A: It comfortably holds a large smartphone, a compact or small wallet, keys, lipstick, and slim essentials like tissues or a small hand sanitiser. Sunglasses fit best in a soft pouch. A bulky water bottle or a thick continental wallet may limit space due to the slim 5 cm depth.
Q: Can I wear it crossbody? A: The strap drop is approximately 58 cm, so it wears as a long shoulder bag and, for many users, as a higher‑sitting crossbody. Fit depends on your height and preferred placement—please measure from shoulder to hip to confirm.
Q: Is the strap adjustable or detachable? A: No. The Chic Pearls Flap has a single chain‑and‑leather strap with pearl details and a fixed drop; it is not adjustable or removable.
Q: Are the pearls real? A: No. Chanel adorns these bags with imitation pearls (typically resin or acrylic/glass‑based) designed for uniformity and durability. They are decorative rather than fine‑jewellery pearls.
Q: How should I care for the leather and pearl details? A: Avoid overfilling and prolonged exposure to sunlight, humidity, perfumes, cosmetics, or alcohol‑based products. Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth; for lambskin, faint surface marks can often be reduced with light circular motions. Store upright in a breathable dust bag, with the chain wrapped to prevent imprints on the leather, and avoid knocks to the pearl accents.
Q: What does the serial number 27897582 indicate? A: The 27‑series serial number corresponds to production in 2019. Chanel transitioned from serial stickers/cards to microchipped plates in 2021; this piece predates that change.
Q: Is the gold‑tone hardware 24k gold plated? A: No. Chanel phased out 24k gold‑plated hardware around 2008. Contemporary bags like this 2019 piece use gold‑tone finishes rather than 24k plating.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: This bag comes with the accessories listed on this page: dust bag and serial number tag. If an authenticity card or box is not listed, it is not included—please contact us if you need clarification.
