Its refined silver-tone accents complement both a little black dress and tailored suiting when you want to carry just the essentials in 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 inside the Chanel Medium Simply CC Flap Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 26 × 16 × 6 cm, it comfortably holds a large smartphone, compact wallet or cardholder, keys, a slim sunglasses case, and a few small cosmetics. It is not designed for tablets or water bottles—please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact sizing.
Q: Can I wear it crossbody as well as on the shoulder? A: Yes. The leather‑interlaced chain can be worn single or doubled. The strap drop is approximately 60 cm when worn single (crossbody on many body frames) and about 32 cm when doubled for the shoulder. If you need it slightly shorter, you can tuck a small length of chain under the flap—ensure the flap closes flat and do not overfill the bag.
Q: Is this a single‑ or double‑flap design? A: The Simply CC Flap is a seasonal single‑flap style with a CC turn‑lock. This piece has a beige textile‑lined interior with two compartments and one internal zipped pocket, offering easier access and a lighter feel than classic double‑flap models.
Q: What production year does serial number 15675883 indicate? A: Chanel 8‑digit serial numbers in the 15xxxxxx series correspond to approximately 2012. For transparency, this bag’s serial number is 15675883.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is always listed under the product information on this page. For this piece, no extra items are included.
Q: How durable is caviar leather and how should I care for it? A: Caviar is a pebbled calfskin known for its resilience. Wipe gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth and allow to air‑dry. Avoid oils, alcohol‑based products (hand sanitisers), and harsh cleaners. Condition sparingly with a suitable neutral product if needed. Keep away from direct heat and sunlight.
Q: How can I minimise colour transfer and preserve the shape? A: Avoid prolonged contact with dark or non‑colourfast fabrics (such as raw denim). Do not overfill the bag. When storing, loosely stuff with acid‑free tissue, close the flap without pressure, and place the chain inside the bag wrapped to prevent imprints. Store upright in a breathable dust bag in a cool, dry place.
Q: The listing notes a slight vintage smell—can it be reduced? A: Air the bag in a cool, dry, well‑ventilated room away from direct sunlight. Place odour‑absorbing sachets nearby (not in direct contact with the leather). Avoid perfumes or deodorising sprays inside the bag. For persistent odours, consult a specialist leather care service.
Q: What is the condition of this pre‑loved piece? A: Exterior: good, with folds in the leather, scratches, and light scuffing on corners. Interior: very good, with light traces of use and a slight vintage smell. Hardware: silver‑tone, shiny with light scratches. Please review the photos for close‑ups of wear.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this bag? A: Every item is vetted by our specialists using multi‑point checks of leather, quilting and stitching, stamps and logos, hardware, serial number format/placement, and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide further product information or photos on request.
