Perfect for cocktail parties, theatre evenings or a refined dinner, this vintage Chanel Classic Medium Double Flap enhances any ensemble. Crafted in black quilted lambskin with silver‑tone accents, it brings timeless chic to tailored suiting or a little black dress—an iconic companion for special occasions and elegant weekends.
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: With dimensions of approximately 25 × 16 × 6 cm, the Medium holds daily essentials such as a smartphone (standard sizes fit best; Max/Pro models can be snug), a small wallet or cardholder, keys, lipstick and a compact. The double-flap construction reduces interior capacity slightly compared to single-flap styles, so we recommend streamlining your contents.
Q: Can I wear this bag crossbody? A: The woven chain and leather strap has a length of approximately 100 cm. It is designed primarily for shoulder wear (doubled) or long shoulder carry (single chain). While some petite wearers may find it fits as a high crossbody, it generally sits higher on the body than a dedicated crossbody bag.
Q: What is the difference between Single and Double Flap? A: This is a Double Flap, meaning it has an exterior flap with the CC turn-lock and a second interior flap that snaps shut. This design provides extra structure and security for your belongings. It also features the signature zippered "love letter" pocket on the underside of the outer flap.
Q: How do I care for black lambskin leather? A: Lambskin is prized for its buttery soft texture and luxurious lustre, but it can be more delicate than Caviar leather. Avoid contact with water, oils and rough surfaces to prevent scratches. Light markings can often be buffed out gently with a soft, clean cloth. Store the bag upright and stuffed to maintain its shape.
Q: What condition is the silver-tone hardware in? A: This piece features silver-tone hardware. The condition report notes it is "Shiny with light scratches," which is consistent with gentle pre-loved use. Please review the detailed photos to see the exact finish.
Q: How old is this specific bag? A: The serial number 18052529 indicates a production year of approximately 2013–2014. Detailed photos of the serial sticker, if available, can be provided on request to help verify the age.
Q: Where are the pockets located? A: The Classic Medium Double Flap features a main compartment, two internal slip pockets, a central lipstick slot, a front slip pocket hidden by the flap, the zippered pocket under the main flap, and the exterior rear "Mona Lisa" slip pocket.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in-house experts. We inspect points such as quilting alignment, stitch count, leather quality, hardware engravings, and the font and placement of the serial sticker to guarantee authenticity.
Q: What accessories are included? A: Items included with the purchase are listed under the "Accessories" section on this page. For this specific bag, it lists the serial number tag. If boxes, dust bags or authenticity cards are not listed there, they are not included.
