This vintage Chanel Classic Maxi Double Flap Bag in black quilted caviar leather with gold-tone hardware is a timeless choice for lunches in the city, evening dinners or polished everyday wear. In very good condition, it features an interwoven chain and leather strap, burgundy leather lining with internal pockets, and the iconic CC turn-lock closure.
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 this Chanel Classic Caviar Maxi Double Flap Bag? A: The Maxi format is one of the roomier Classic Flap sizes and is well suited to daily essentials such as a phone, wallet, keys, sunglasses and a small cosmetics pouch. Capacity will vary depending on how you organise the inner flap and pockets, so please use the Measurements on this page as your best size guide.
Q: Can this bag be worn on the shoulder or crossbody? A: Yes. The interwoven chain and leather strap allows shoulder wear, and many people also wear the Maxi crossbody. Fit depends on height and styling preference, so please use the listed strap measurement of approximately 27/50 cm as a guide.
Q: What does double flap mean? A: It means the bag has both an outer flap and a second inner flap. This is a signature detail of the Chanel Classic line and helps give the bag its structured feel, though it can make access slightly less immediate than a single-flap style.
Q: Is caviar leather durable? A: Yes. Chanel caviar leather is widely loved for its grained texture, shape retention and better resistance to visible scratches than smoother leathers, making it a practical choice for regular use.
Q: Is the Maxi size heavy to carry? A: The Maxi is larger than the smaller Classic Flap sizes, and the chain hardware plus double flap can make it feel weightier than more compact styles. Many buyers choose it for the extra capacity, but if you prefer very lightweight bags, that is worth bearing in mind.
Q: Is this a vintage Chanel bag? A: Yes. This piece is listed as a vintage Chanel bag. As with most vintage luxury items, light signs of age and use are normal and form part of its character.
Q: What condition is this bag in? A: This bag is listed in Very Good condition, with light traces of use to the exterior and interior. The hardware is shiny with light scratches.
Q: What is included with this bag? A: This item includes an authenticity card and serial number. Everything included with the purchase is listed in the product information section on this page.
Q: How should I care for and store it? A: To help preserve the leather and structure, avoid overfilling, prolonged sunlight, humidity and contact with rough or colour-transfer-prone materials. Wipe gently with a soft cloth and store it upright with the chain protected and the bag lightly stuffed when not in use.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully checked by experts using detailed reviews of materials, construction, hardware and serial details. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
