Elevate evening dinners or gallery openings with this vintage Chanel Jumbo Double Flap. Crafted in black quilted lambskin with silver-tone hardware, it adds polished allure to tailored looks. The interwoven chain-and-leather shoulder strap and burgundy-lined interior make it a chic choice for smart brunches, theatre nights, and city events.
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 fits inside the Chanel Jumbo Double Flap? A: The Jumbo typically accommodates daily essentials: a smartphone (including larger Pro/Max models), continental (long) wallet or compact wallet, keys, lipstick, a small cosmetics pouch, slim sunglasses in a soft case, and a small notebook. The double‑flap construction slightly reduces usable space compared with single‑flap designs. For certainty, compare your items to the Measurements on this page or ask us for tailored fit advice for this exact piece.
Q: Will it fit a tablet or laptop? A: A slim tablet in the iPad mini class may fit but is usually snug and not ideal for everyday use. Standard 10–11‑inch tablets and laptops do not fit comfortably. Please compare your device dimensions with the Measurements listed or contact us for a quick 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 as a shoulder strap or extended as a single chain for shoulder or crossbody wear. On most wearers, the Jumbo sits lower and more comfortably crossbody than smaller sizes. We’ll list the strap drop under Measurements—if anything is missing, just ask and we’ll confirm for this item.
Q: How secure is the double‑flap closure and what compartments does it have? A: The Classic Double Flap uses a CC turn‑lock on the outer flap and an interior snap on the second flap for secure everyday use. Typical compartments include a main compartment, a front slip pocket under the flap, a lipstick slot, an interior slip pocket, a zip pocket on the inside of the outer flap, and a back exterior slip pocket. Layout can vary slightly by era—please review our photos for the exact configuration of this piece.
Q: What materials and hardware are used for this model? A: This model is crafted in lambskin leather with quilted stitching; hardware is usually gold‑tone or silver‑tone. Earlier vintage examples often feature 24K gold‑plated hardware, while more recent releases use gold‑tone without precious plating. Linings are typically leather (often burgundy) or textile depending on era. The listing specifies the exact materials and finish for this item.
Q: How should I care for Chanel lambskin? A: Keep the bag away from moisture and oils, and be mindful of colour transfer (especially from dark denim). Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth; condition smooth leather sparingly with a suitable neutral product (test first on a discreet area). Avoid overfilling to preserve structure. Store the bag lightly stuffed, upright, in a breathable dust bag, and protect the leather from chain contact when stored.
Q: Will the chain leave marks on the leather? How should I store it? A: Chain imprints can occur if the strap rests against the leather during storage. To minimise marks, tuck the chain inside the bag with a soft felt/cloth barrier, avoid overstuffing, and store the bag upright and lightly padded. Rotate carry to reduce pressure points on the flap.
Q: Where are the brand markings and codes located, and how is dating handled? A: Authentic Chanel bags feature “CHANEL” and “Made in France” or “Made in Italy” inside. Pre‑2021 pieces include a hologram serial sticker (often inside an interior pocket or along a seam) and may come with an authenticity card. From around 2021, Chanel transitioned to embedded microchips instead of cards. Placement and format vary by era—we’re happy to share close‑up photos and help date this specific item on request.
Q: Is the Jumbo still produced, and how does it compare to the Medium or Maxi? A: Chanel’s Classic Flap range evolves over time, and availability can vary by season and boutique. The Jumbo offers more capacity than the Medium and is generally lighter and more compact than the Maxi. It has a longer chain drop than the Medium, making crossbody wear more feasible, but it’s heavier than smaller sizes due to the double‑flap construction and hardware.
Q: What accessories are included and how do you authenticate? A: Any included items (e.g., dust bag, box, authenticity card for older pieces) are listed under “Accessories.” If an accessory isn’t mentioned there, it isn’t included—please contact us for confirmation. Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous, multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts, assessing materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, serial sticker/microchip and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
