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 key dimensions of the Medium Classic Double Flap? A: This Medium size typically measures around 25.5 × 16 × 6.5 cm. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for the exact dimensions of this specific piece.
Q: What can I realistically fit inside this size? A: Daily essentials such as a smartphone, compact wallet or card holder, keys, lipstick and small items fit comfortably. A sunglasses sleeve (soft case) can fit if you pack flat. The double-flap construction slightly reduces usable space, so long continental wallets are possible but may make the bag feel full.
Q: Can I wear it cross-body? A: The Medium can be worn cross-body on many frames, but it sits higher than purpose-built cross-body bags. Most users find it ideal on the shoulder with the strap doubled or single; cross-body drop tends to feel short on taller builds.
Q: What is the strap drop on this bag? A: This piece has approximately 24 cm when doubled and 43 cm when worn as a single strap, giving shoulder and high cross-body options. Drop can vary slightly with use and how the chain is positioned.
Q: What is the purpose of the double flap, and does it affect capacity? A: The inner flap adds structure, helps the bag hold its shape over time and offers extra organisation. It does slightly reduce internal capacity compared with a single-flap design, but improves discretion and longevity.
Q: Is lambskin durable enough for everyday use? A: Lambskin feels exceptionally soft and luxurious but is more prone to surface marks and corner wear than grained leathers. For best results, avoid heavy rain and rough surfaces, store it stuffed to maintain shape, and wrap the chain to prevent imprints on the leather. Light marks on lambskin can often be reduced by gently buffing with a clean, soft cloth in circular motions.
Q: Is the gold-tone hardware real gold? A: On contemporary and recent-vintage pieces the gold-tone finish is not solid gold. Earlier vintage Chanel bags (mainly in the 1980s–2000s) featured 24k gold-plated hardware; Chanel phased this out in the late 2000s. This bag features gold-tone hardware as listed.
Q: What does the serial number signify, and do I need an authenticity card? A: Chanel serial numbers indicate the production series and are a helpful reference point for dating and authentication. Many pre-loved bags no longer retain their cards; the presence of the interior serial sticker and the overall construction details are more important. Our in-house team authenticates every item using multi-point checks.
Q: Will a larger smartphone fit (e.g., plus/pro-max sizes)? A: Yes, most larger smartphones fit inside the main compartment placed horizontally without a bulky case. The exterior back pocket is best reserved for slim items like receipts or tickets to avoid stretching.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under Accessories on this page. For this piece, a serial number tag is included. If an accessory such as an authenticity card, dust bag or box is not listed, it is not included—please contact us if you need clarification.
