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: As a medium shoulder bag (approx. 25 × 16 × 7 cm), it comfortably holds daily essentials such as a large smartphone, compact wallet or card holder, keys, lipstick, and a slim sunglasses case. Capacity is modest due to the double‑flap construction, so we recommend avoiding bulky cases and overfilling. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: Can the Medium Classic Double Flap be worn crossbody? A: It is designed primarily as a shoulder bag. You can wear the strap doubled on the shoulder for a shorter drop or single for a longer drop; some people do wear it crossbody, but it tends to sit higher on the torso than dedicated crossbody styles.
Q: What is the purpose of the double flap? A: The double flap improves structure and longevity, adds organisation with extra pockets, and provides an extra layer over the main compartment for security. The second flap does slightly reduce interior capacity compared with single‑flap designs.
Q: Which year is this bag from based on the serial number 11641066? A: Chanel serial numbers beginning with 11 indicate production circa 2006–2008. As always, the serial should be assessed alongside other authentication markers.
Q: What material is this and how should I care for it? A: This piece is crafted in beige quilted lambskin leather. Keep it away from prolonged sunlight and moisture, and wipe gently with a soft, non‑pilling cloth. For light surface marks on lambskin, a gentle circular motion can help. Store it stuffed lightly to maintain shape and avoid contact with sharp or dark‑dyed items.
Q: Does this item include any additional items? A: Everything included is listed in the product information. For this piece, the product information notes a serial number tag. If an item such as a dust bag or authenticity card is not listed there, it is not included—feel free to contact us for confirmation.
Q: Is the hardware silver or gold, and how should I maintain it? A: The hardware on this item is silver‑tone. To maintain its shine, gently buff with a soft, dry cloth and avoid metal polishes or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the finish or nearby leather.
Q: Can I use the back pocket for my phone? A: The curved back slip pocket is designed for slim items you need quick access to—think travel cards, receipts, or tickets. Placing bulky items like a smartphone in this pocket may stretch the leather over time; we recommend keeping phones inside the main compartment.
Q: How should I store the bag when not in use? A: Store upright in a breathable dust bag, with light stuffing to support the shape. If you tuck the chain inside, wrap it in a soft cloth to prevent impressions on the leather. Keep away from direct light, heat, and humidity.
Q: Where was this piece made? A: Chanel produces Classic Flap bags in France and Italy. This specific item is stamped Made in France, as shown in the photos.
