This vintage Chanel Classic East West Single Flap Bag in beige quilted leather with silver-tone hardware is an elegant choice for lunches, evenings out or polished everyday wear. In good condition, it features an interwoven chain and leather shoulder strap, tonal leather lining with three internal slip pockets, and a flap closure with CC turn-lock.
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 East West Single Flap Bag? A: With measurements of approximately 26 x 14 x 5 cm, it is best suited to daily essentials such as a phone, a slim wallet or cardholder, keys, lipstick and a few small personal items. It is a compact shoulder bag rather than a large day bag, so bulkier items may not fit comfortably.
Q: Is this bag designed for shoulder wear or crossbody wear? A: This piece is designed primarily for shoulder wear. The interwoven chain and leather strap has an approximate 30 cm drop, so it usually sits neatly under the arm rather than across the body.
Q: Is this a single flap or double flap bag? A: This is a single flap style with one main flap closure and a CC turn-lock. Many buyers like single flap bags because they are typically lighter and quicker to access than double flap styles.
Q: What are the main details of this bag? A: This bag features beige quilted leather, silver-tone hardware, an interwoven chain and leather shoulder strap, tonal leather lining, three internal slip pockets and a CC turn-lock closure. It is made in Italy.
Q: Does it fit a modern phone? A: In most cases, yes. The 26 cm width gives room for most modern smartphones, although the interior will feel more compact once you add a wallet, keys and cosmetics.
Q: What does the serial number tell me? A: The serial number listed in the product information begins with 10 and is dated to approximately 2005 to 2006, placing this piece in the vintage era.
Q: What condition is this bag in? A: The overall condition is listed as good. There are signs of wear on the leather, scuffing on the corners, light traces of use inside and light scratches on the shiny hardware.
Q: What is included with this bag? A: Only what is listed in the product information is included. For this piece, the serial number is noted. If an authenticity card, box or dust bag is not listed in the product information, it should not be assumed to be included.
Q: How should I care for beige quilted leather? A: To help preserve the bag, avoid overfilling it, keep it away from prolonged sunlight, moisture and dark fabrics that may cause colour transfer, and store it upright in a protective pouch with the chain covered if possible. Wipe it gently with a soft cloth and avoid harsh cleaning products.
