Perfect for city breaks and everyday travel, this vintage Chanel New Travel Line medium flap carries essentials with ease. In black nylon canvas with chain-and-fabric shoulder strap and CC turn-lock, it moves effortlessly from airport lounge to dinner reservations, adding understated Chanel polish to any itinerary.
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 New Travel Line Medium Flap Bag? A: With approximate dimensions of 26 × 17 × 6 cm, it comfortably holds a smartphone, a small wallet or cardholder, keys, lipstick and slim sunglasses. A long continental wallet may fit if slim, but please check your item against the measurements shown on this page.
Q: Is the strap adjustable and can it be worn crossbody? A: The chain-and-fabric shoulder strap is a fixed length (approx. 24 cm drop as listed). It is designed primarily for shoulder carry; crossbody wear will sit high on most frames, so please refer to the measurements for fit.
Q: Is the jacquard nylon durable and water-resistant? A: Yes, the nylon is lightweight and robust with some natural water resistance, making it practical for daily use. However, it is not fully waterproof—avoid heavy rain and blot dry gently if it gets wet.
Q: How should I clean and care for the nylon and leather trim? A: Spot clean the nylon with a soft, slightly damp cloth and a drop of mild soap, then air dry away from heat. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasives. Do not machine wash. For storage, do not overfill, keep the bag loosely stuffed, and place it in a breathable dust bag away from direct sunlight. Also avoid prolonged contact between light and dark colours to reduce colour transfer.
Q: Does this material show wear easily? A: With normal use, nylon corners can develop light scuffing and the turn‑lock may show fine scratches over time. Regular gentle cleaning and mindful storage will help maintain its appearance.
Q: Is the New Travel Line still produced by Chanel? A: The New Travel Line is a vintage line and is not part of Chanel’s current handbag collections. Pieces are now sourced on the pre‑owned market.
Q: What does the 7‑series serial number indicate? A: A 7‑digit serial number beginning with 7 generally indicates early 2000s production. Serial numbers are useful for dating a piece, but on their own they do not confirm authenticity; overall construction and details must also be reviewed.
Q: What is included with this bag? A: Everything included is listed under product information on this page. For this piece, it includes the serial number tag. If items such as an authenticity card or a dust bag are not listed in product information, they are not included.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Each item at A Retro Tale is carefully examined by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and serials. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide additional details on request.
