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 Classic Medium Double Flap? A: The Medium Double Flap is a perfect size for daily essentials but is not designed for heavy loading. It typically holds a smartphone (including most standard models; larger Max/Pro versions may be a snug fit depending on the case), a compact wallet or cardholder, keys, lipstick, and a compact mirror. The double‑flap structure creates a structured interior that holds slightly less than single‑flap vintage models. Please refer to the dimensions (15.5 × 25.5 × 7 cm) to ensure your specific items will fit.
Q: Can I wear this bag crossbody? A: The woven chain and leather strap is versatile but not adjustable. It is designed primarily for shoulder wear—either with the chain doubled for a shorter drop or fully extended as a single chain. While some petite wearers may manage a high crossbody fit, the strap length on the Medium Classic Flap is generally suited for shoulder carry. We list the strap measurement as 80 cm—please compare this against a bag you own to gauge the length.
Q: What is the "Double Flap" and why is it desirable? A: The Double Flap is the original design intended by Coco Chanel and later reissued by Karl Lagerfeld. It features an exterior flap with the CC turn‑lock and an inner flap that snaps closed, revealing the signature burgundy leather lining. This construction helps the bag maintain its shape over time and provides an extra layer of security for your belongings.
Q: What materials is this specific bag made from? A: This piece is crafted from black quilted lambskin leather with silver‑toned hardware. Lambskin is famous for its buttery soft texture and luxurious sheen, giving the bag a sophisticated aesthetic compared to the more textured caviar leather. The interior is lined in burgundy leather.
Q: How should I care for lambskin leather? A: Lambskin is delicate and can show scratches or pressure marks more readily than treated leathers. Avoid contact with rough surfaces, moisture, and oils (such as hand cream). Store the bag upright in its dust bag with the chain tucked inside (padded with soft fabric) to prevent the hardware from leaving impressions on the leather. Light surface scratches can often be buffed gently with a soft, clean cloth.
Q: How do I date this item? A: Chanel bags are dated using their serial code. This bag features the serial number 25476451, which corresponds to the Series 25 production run, typically manufactured around 2018. It includes the original authenticity card and serial number tag.
Q: What condition is this bag in? A: We grade this piece as "Very Good" with a "Light trace of use". The hardware is described as shiny with light scratches. As a pre‑loved item, please review the detailed photos to observe the specific condition of the leather corners, quilting, and interior.
Q: What is the external slip pocket used for? A: The rear slip pocket is often called the "Mona Lisa smile" due to its curved upper edge. Originally designed to hold loose change, today it is perfect for keeping a ticket, a valet stub, or a slender cardholder readily accessible without opening the bag.
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, and the serial sticker. This bag comes with its authenticity card and serial number tag. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
Q: What accessories are included? A: This item includes the dust bag, authenticity card, and serial number tag. Any included items are listed under "Accessories"; if an item (such as the original box) is not mentioned there, it is not included.
