An elegant choice for weddings, cocktail parties, and evening soirées, this black Chanel Classic Small Double Flap lends timeless polish to tailored suits and silk dresses alike. Compact yet refined, it keeps your essentials close from ceremony to nightcap.
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 are the measurements and how does the strap wear on the body? A: This Small Classic Double Flap measures approximately 23 × 14 × 6 cm. The chain can be worn doubled at about 24 cm drop for the shoulder, or long at about 44 cm. On most frames the long strap sits high on the torso, so it is primarily a shoulder bag; petite builds may find it works as a short crossbody.
Q: What typically fits inside the Small Classic Double Flap? A: Think compact essentials: a slim smartphone, small card holder or compact wallet, keys, lipstick and a flat compact or tissues. Slim sunglasses may fit without a hard case. It is not designed for bulky items or water bottles. Capacity varies by the size of your phone and wallet—please refer to the Measurements on this page for guidance.
Q: Why does the Classic Flap have a second (double) flap? A: The inner flap adds structure and security, helping the bag keep its shape over time and providing an extra barrier over the main compartment. It also creates additional organisation with pockets under the flap.
Q: Is lambskin suitable for everyday use? A: Lambskin is prized for its soft, luxurious hand and elegant look. It is more delicate than grained “caviar” leather and can show scratches or pressure marks more readily, so a little extra care is recommended. Avoid rough surfaces and colour transfer from dark denim or heavily dyed garments.
Q: How should I care for and store this bag? A: Keep it away from prolonged sunlight, humidity and rain. If it gets damp, blot gently with a soft, absorbent cloth. Do not overfill. For storage, lightly stuff the bag to maintain shape, wrap the chain to prevent imprints, and store it upright in a breathable dust bag. Light surface marks on lambskin can often be eased by gently buffing with a clean, soft cloth; deeper issues are best left to a professional.
Q: Can I wear it crossbody? A: The small size can be worn on the long strap, but the drop is relatively short (about 44 cm), so it will sit higher than a typical crossbody on many people. If you prefer a lower-sitting crossbody, you may find the Rectangular Mini or other models more suitable.
Q: What does the serial number 28757777 indicate? A: This is an eight‑digit, 28‑series code that points to a production window around 2019–2020. Serial numbers help date a piece but are only one element of authentication and should be considered alongside materials, stamps and construction.
Q: Does this piece come with an authenticity card? A: Yes—this specific item includes an authenticity card and a serial number tag, as listed in the product information. Note that since 2021, Chanel has transitioned new bags to an internal microchip and metal plate in place of cards and stickers, but earlier pieces like this one were originally issued with a card.
Q: What are the pockets for? A: Inside, you’ll find multiple slip pockets (including the classic slim lipstick slot) and a zip pocket under the flap for flat items. There is also a back slip pocket for quick access to tickets or cards. The burgundy lining is a long‑standing Chanel signature that adds visibility and a touch of heritage.
