Perfect for evening dinners, theatre nights and chic city soirees, the Chanel Classic Medium Double Flap in black quilted lambskin with gold-tone hardware adds timeless polish. In very good condition, it carries your essentials with ease, taking you stylishly from cocktails to formal events.
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 Medium Double Flap? A: The Medium Classic Flap (approx. 25.5 cm wide) is designed to hold daily essentials. It typically accommodates a smartphone (including most Pro/Max models), a compact wallet or cardholder, keys, lipstick, and a compact mirror. Full-length continental wallets are often a tight fit or may not fit at all. Please refer to the Measurements on this page or contact us for tailored fit advice for this exact piece.
Q: Is the chain strap adjustable? Can I wear it crossbody? A: The woven chain and leather strap is not adjustable, but it offers two carrying lengths: doubled for a shorter shoulder carry (approx. 22 cm drop) or single for a longer drop (approx. 42 cm). The single drop is relatively short for a crossbody style; it typically sits quite high on the body or is worn as a long shoulder bag depending on your height. We recommend checking the 42 cm drop against a bag you own to ensure it suits your preference.
Q: How should I care for the black lambskin leather? A: This bag is crafted from quilted lambskin, which is renowned for its buttery soft texture and luxurious sheen. However, it is more delicate than caviar leather and can be prone to scratches or pressure marks. We recommend keeping it away from moisture, oils, and rough surfaces. To preserve the puffiness of the quilts, store the bag upright and lightly stuffed, ensuring the chain does not rest heavily against the leather.
Q: How secure is the double flap closure? A: The Classic Double Flap features a secure dual-closure system. The outer flap closes with the iconic CC turn-lock, while the interior flap has a snap closure. This design provides excellent security for your belongings while adding structure to the bag.
Q: What is the interior layout of this bag? A: The interior is lined in burgundy leather and features a main compartment with slip pockets and a central lipstick slot. Additional compartments include the zippered "love note" pocket on the underside of the outer flap, a front slip pocket hidden under the flap, and the exterior rear "Mona Lisa" slip pocket.
Q: How old is this specific piece? A: The serial number for this item (26918476) indicates it belongs to the 26 series, manufactured approximately between 2018 and 2019. It includes its matching authenticity card and serial number tag inside the bag.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: As listed in the distinctive features, this piece comes with its dust bag, authenticity card, and serial number tag. If an accessory (such as a box) is not explicitly listed under the "Accessories" section, it is not included.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in-house experts using multi-point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, serial numbers, and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and verify the specific serial number (26 series) matches the production standards for its era.
