An elegant choice for theatre nights, cocktail receptions or a formal dinner, this vintage Chanel Jumbo Shiva Double Flap in black quilted leather with aged gold-tone hardware adds timeless polish. Wear on the shoulder; the double flap keeps essentials neatly organised.
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 Jumbo Shiva Double Flap? A: With approximate dimensions of 32 × 20 × 8 cm, it comfortably holds a long wallet, smartphone, sunglasses in a slim case, keys, a small cosmetics pouch and a compact umbrella. Most tablets up to around 11 inches fit. A4 paper (21 × 29.7 cm) will not stand upright flat due to the 20 cm interior height; capacity varies depending on how you pack and whether you use an organiser insert.
Q: Can I wear it crossbody? A: Yes, the interwoven chain can be worn long on a single chain or short when doubled. This example has an approximate strap drop of 50 cm when single and 30 cm when doubled, so it works as a short crossbody for many body types and as a comfortable shoulder bag; on taller frames it will sit higher.
Q: What is the benefit of the double flap compared with a single flap? A: The double flap adds an internal flap and extra compartment that help the bag keep its structure, provide additional privacy for contents and improve balance on the shoulder. The trade‑off is a touch more weight and a slightly smaller main compartment than a single‑flap version.
Q: How much does a Jumbo Double Flap usually weigh? A: Depending on leather and year, typical Jumbo Double Flaps weigh roughly 1.0–1.2 kg. Single‑flap Jumbos are lighter. Small differences are normal due to leather density and hardware finish.
Q: Does it fit a 13‑inch laptop or documents? A: A 13‑inch laptop does not fit. Slim diaries, A5 notebooks and travel documents fit easily; A4 sheets may need to be placed diagonally or folded and are not recommended for regular use because they can imprint the lining and flaps.
Q: Is the hardware real gold‑plated? A: Chanel used 24‑carat gold‑plated hardware on many classic flaps up to late 2008. This bag features aged gold‑tone hardware typical of later production and is not 24‑carat plated. Minor surface wear or colour variation is normal with age and use.
Q: What does the serial number 17036306 indicate? A: The 17‑series serial number dates the bag to approximately 2012–2013. This aligns with the bag’s construction details and hardware era. This piece includes the serial number tag as listed in the product information.
Q: Can the chain length be adjusted? A: The classic setup allows two positions: single‑chain (long) or doubled‑chain (short). It is not micro‑adjustable. Some third‑party services can lengthen chains, but alterations may affect future value and are not generally recommended.
Q: How should I care for the quilted leather and maintain its shape? A: Wipe after wear with a soft, dry cloth; avoid oils, cosmetics and rain. Do not overfill. Store stuffed with acid‑free tissue in a breathable dust bag, place a soft cloth between the two flaps, and keep the chain tucked inside in a pouch to prevent imprints. Keep away from direct heat and prolonged sunlight to minimise creasing and colour change.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed in the product information for this listing. For this bag, the serial number tag is included. If an item such as an authenticity card or box is not listed there, it is not included—please contact us if you would like us to confirm.
