Make an entrance at cocktail parties, gallery openings or chic dinners with this Chanel Classic Medium Double Flap in green quilted leather. Silver-toned accents and a chain-and-leather strap lend refined polish, elevating eveningwear and smart daytime looks alike.
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 × 15 × 6.5 cm, it comfortably holds a large smartphone, compact or small wallet/cardholder, keys, lipstick, compact mirror, and sunglasses in a soft pouch. Packing slim items and avoiding bulky cases helps the flap close smoothly. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact sizing.
Q: Can I wear it crossbody and on the shoulder? A: Yes. The chain-and-leather strap can be worn single over the shoulder or crossbody, or doubled for a shorter shoulder carry. For this piece, the drop is approximately 43 cm on a single strap and 24 cm when doubled. Note that crossbody wear sits a little higher and strap length is not adjustable.
Q: Will a large smartphone (e.g., Plus/Max) fit? A: Most large-screen phones fit in the main compartment placed horizontally; very thick cases can make the fit snug. The exterior back pocket is best for slim items like receipts or a travel card rather than a phone to preserve the bag’s shape.
Q: What is the purpose of the double flap and the interior pockets? A: The second flap adds structure and security, helping the bag keep its shape over time and shielding the exterior from imprinting. The interior features multiple pockets for small essentials, plus a zipped pocket under the flap and an external back slip pocket for quick-access flat items.
Q: What does the serial number 23247189 indicate? A: The first two digits (23) indicate a 23‑series bag, produced approximately in 2016–2017. A date code helps to place the production period but is not, by itself, proof of authenticity. This item comes with its matching authenticity card and serial number tag as listed under Accessories.
Q: Is this lambskin and how should I care for it? A: This example is crafted in quilted lambskin with silver‑toned hardware. For care, gently buff marks with a soft cloth, avoid moisture and oils, and keep away from prolonged light and colour transfer (e.g., dark denim). Store upright in a breathable dust bag, loosely stuffed, with the chain wrapped to prevent impressions on the leather.
Q: Is the strap adjustable or can it be shortened? A: The original strap is not length‑adjustable. You can shorten the drop by doubling the chain inside the flap. Third‑party chain clips/shorteners exist but may mark the leather; we do not recommend permanent alterations.
Q: Is it suitable for daily use? A: The Medium Double Flap is designed as a day‑to‑evening bag. It carries daily essentials without excessive bulk and remains comfortable when not overfilled. Using a slim wallet and organising items in the internal pockets helps maintain structure.
Q: Where was this bag made? A: Made in France, as indicated on the origin label for this piece.
Q: What accessories are included and how do you authenticate? A: Included are the authenticity card and serial number tag. At A Retro Tale, every item undergoes multi‑point authentication by experts, assessing materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, and serial/date code consistency. Everything included is listed under Accessories; if a dust bag or box is not listed, it is not included.
