Perfect for cocktail parties, gallery openings or chic dinners, this Chanel Classic Bicolor Medium Double Flap Bag adds effortless sophistication. Crafted in black and white leather with gold-tone accents, it complements tailored looks by day and elevates evening ensembles with iconic polish.
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: With approximate dimensions of 25.5 × 15.5 × 6.5 cm, it’s ideal for daily essentials: a large smartphone, a compact wallet or cardholder, keys, lipstick and slim sunglasses in a soft case. Due to the double‑flap construction, capacity is slightly reduced; full‑length continental wallets and small tablets generally do not fit comfortably. Please compare your items with the Measurements on this page or ask us for a tailored fit check.
Q: Is the chain strap adjustable? Can I wear it crossbody? A: The chain is not adjustable, but it can be worn doubled or as a single strap. For this specific piece, the drop is approximately 22 cm when doubled and 40 cm when single (see Measurements). The single strap usually works for shoulder wear and a high crossbody on some frames; on taller wearers it may sit quite high crossbody.
Q: How secure is the closure and what is the interior layout? A: The Classic Double Flap features a CC turn‑lock on the outer flap and an interior flap with a snap for added security. Typical compartments include a main section, a front slip pocket under the flap, a lipstick slot, interior slip pockets, a zipped pocket on the underside of the outer flap and an exterior back slip pocket. Our photos show the exact configuration of this piece.
Q: What are the materials and hardware on this specific bag? A: This piece is crafted in black and white leather with gold‑tone hardware and an interwoven leather‑and‑chain strap. It features a bicolour CC turn‑lock and black leather lining with multiple internal pockets. The interior stamp indicates Made in France.
Q: How should I care for the black‑and‑white (bicolour) leather and hardware? A: Keep the bag away from moisture, oils and prolonged sunlight. To minimise colour transfer—especially onto the white panels—avoid rubbing against dark denim or heavily dyed fabrics. Wipe leather gently with a soft, dry cloth and use a high‑quality neutral conditioner sparingly (test first on a discreet area). Protect gold‑tone hardware from friction, and store the bag upright, lightly stuffed, in a breathable dust bag.
Q: Will the chain leave marks on the flap? Any storage tips? A: Chain imprints can occur if the strap presses on the leather during storage. Tuck the chain inside the bag and place a soft felt/cloth between the chain and leather. Avoid overstuffing, and store upright with light support to maintain the silhouette.
Q: Where are the brand markings and codes, and how is dating handled? A: Authentic Chanel bags have “CHANEL” and the country of origin stamped inside. Older models feature a hologram serial sticker (often paired with an authenticity card), while Chanel transitioned to an embedded microchip in recent years. This piece includes a serial number tag; we’re happy to provide close‑up photos and help with dating on request.
Q: What condition is this specific item in? A: Overall condition: Like New with light traces of use. Exterior: Like New. Interior: Like New. Hardware: shiny with light hairline scratches. Please review our detailed photos for an accurate view of this exact bag.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: This listing includes the box, dust bag and serial number tag. If an accessory (e.g., authenticity card) isn’t mentioned in the Accessories section, it isn’t included—feel free to contact us for confirmation.
Q: How do you authenticate and can Chanel service this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous, multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts, reviewing materials, stitching, stamps, hardware and serial/microchip details. Chanel boutiques may offer repairs subject to assessment and parts availability; reputable independent specialists can also assist with cleaning and restoration. We’re happy to advise on options for your location.
