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 Jersey Bubble Quilt Flap Bag? A: With measurements of approximately 29 × 20 × 14 cm, it suits daily essentials: a large smartphone (including most Pro/Max models), a compact wallet or cardholder, keys, slim sunglasses in a soft sleeve, a small cosmetics pouch, an A5 notebook/diary and a slim power bank. The accordion sides and flap can limit bulk—full‑size water bottles and thick pouches may make the flap sit proud. Please refer to the Measurements shown or ask us for a tailored fit check for this exact piece.
Q: Will it fit a tablet or e‑reader? A: A standard e‑reader or iPad mini typically fits. An 11‑inch tablet may fit without a bulky case, but the flap and side gussets can make it snug. Compare your device’s dimensions with the Measurements, or ask us to perform a quick fit check for this item.
Q: Is the chain strap adjustable? Can I wear it crossbody? A: The single chain‑and‑jersey interwoven strap is not adjustable. With an approximate 24 cm strap drop, it’s designed for shoulder carry; on most wearers it sits too high for comfortable crossbody wear.
Q: How secure is the closure and what is the interior layout? A: The bag features a flap top with a CC turn‑lock closure, offering good day‑to‑day security. Inside is a grey satin lining with one internal zipped pocket; layouts can vary slightly by season and era—our listing photos show the exact configuration of this piece.
Q: What is “bubble quilt” jersey and how does it wear over time? A: Chanel’s bubble quilting creates a padded, dimensional texture. In jersey, it has a soft, cushioned hand and a relaxed, pliable structure. With normal use, jersey can show light surface pilling or occasional snags if rubbed against rough surfaces; mindful care helps maintain the texture and appearance.
Q: How should I care for the jersey exterior and silver‑tone hardware? A: Keep the bag away from moisture, oils and prolonged sunlight. Avoid abrasive fabrics that may pull jersey threads. Remove lint gently with a soft garment brush; for minor pilling, use a quality sweater comb or fabric shaver very lightly and test on a discreet area first. Wipe hardware with a soft, dry cloth; hairline scratches are normal with wear. Store the bag lightly stuffed, upright, in a breathable dust bag.
Q: Will the chain strap mark or snag the jersey, and how should I store it? A: Chains can imprint or catch on textiles if pressed during storage. To minimise marks, tuck the chain inside with a soft felt/cloth barrier, avoid overfilling, and store the bag upright. When wearing, be mindful of contact with textured garments (e.g., bouclé or raw denim) that could abrade the jersey.
Q: Where is this piece made and what brand markings/codes should I expect? A: Authentic Chanel bags feature “CHANEL” and a country‑of‑origin stamp (commonly France or Italy); this piece is stamped Made in Italy. Older models include a hologram serial sticker with a matching authenticity card; more recent releases use an embedded microchip. Placement and format vary by era—contact us for close‑up photos and dating guidance for this exact bag.
Q: Is the Bubble Quilt Accordion Flap still produced? A: Bubble Quilt styles were seasonal and are generally discontinued, making vintage examples like this sought‑after. The pre‑loved market is the best way to find specific colours and configurations.
Q: What accessories are included and how do you authenticate? A: Included items are listed under “Accessories.” For this piece, we note a dust bag, authenticity card, booklet and serial number tag. Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous, multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts, assessing materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and serial sticker/microchip. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
