Ideal for dinners, theatre dates or weekends away, this vintage Chanel black quilted flap card holder brings discreet elegance while keeping cards and essentials organised in compact style.
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 in this Chanel Flap Card Holder? A: With its compact size (approx. 14.5 × 10 × 2 cm) and flap design, it comfortably holds everyday essentials such as bank cards, an ID, a few folded banknotes, and receipts. The external zip pocket is useful for coins or a key. Capacity varies with how you pack and how much you wish to stretch the leather over time.
Q: How many cards can it hold without overfilling? A: Most users find a practical range of about 5–8 flat cards in total, plus folded notes. You can add more, but consistently overfilling may stretch the leather and put pressure on the flap closure over time.
Q: Does it fit a smartphone? A: No. This is a compact small leather good designed for cards, folded notes and small items only. A smartphone will not fit.
Q: What is the zip pocket best for? A: The external zip pocket is ideal for coins, folded receipts, or a single flat key. Avoid overfilling bulky items in the zip pocket to maintain the silhouette and prevent strain on the seams.
Q: How secure is the closure? A: The flap closure keeps contents covered, while the external zip pocket secures loose items like coins. As with any compact wallet, do not overstuff to ensure the flap closes cleanly and the edges stay aligned.
Q: What should I know about the leather and care? A: This is black quilted leather. Wipe gently with a soft, non‑pilling cloth, keep away from moisture, heat and prolonged sunlight, and store it upright in a breathable pouch. On smoother leathers, light circular motions can help reduce the look of minor surface marks. Avoid harsh cleaners and colour-transfer risks from dark denim or untreated fabrics.
Q: What does the condition grade mean for this piece? A: It is graded Good Condition, showing honest wear consistent with careful use. For this specific item, the corners show scuffing and general signs of wear; the lining shows light signs of use and the logo stamp is faded; the hardware has scratches and some discolouration. Please review all photos for a close look at these details.
Q: Is this item authentic and will it have a serial sticker or card? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is authenticated by our experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware and stamps. Many vintage Chanel small leather goods originally had a serial sticker and an authenticity card; over time, stickers can detach, and in newer eras Chanel introduced a metal plate system. Please refer to the product information on this page to see exactly what is included for this listing.
Q: Where was this piece made? A: The country of origin label indicates France.
Q: Is this style unisex? A: Yes. Its understated, compact design and neutral black colour make it suitable for any wearer seeking a refined card holder.
