This vintage Chanel Classic Small Double Flap Bag in beige quilted leather with gold-tone hardware offers timeless elegance.

Ideal for lunches, dinners or day-to-evening occasions, it adds refined Chanel charm to any look.
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 Classic Small Double Flap Bag? A: With measurements of approximately 24 x 15 x 7 cm, this size is ideal for daily essentials such as a phone, card holder, keys, lipstick and a few small extras. Because it is a double flap style, the interior is a little more structured and compact than the outer dimensions suggest, so bulky wallets or larger pouches may be a tight fit.
Q: What does "double flap" mean on this Chanel bag? A: A double flap bag has the outer CC turn-lock flap plus a second interior flap. Collectors appreciate this construction because it helps the bag keep its shape and adds classic Chanel organisation, though it also slightly reduces usable space compared with a single flap.
Q: Can this bag be worn crossbody? A: This Small Classic is generally best suited to shoulder wear. The strap drop is listed at approximately 24 cm and adjustable, so it can sit shorter or longer depending on how it is styled, but on most people it is not a true hands-free crossbody fit.
Q: Is this bag vintage? A: Yes. This is a vintage Chanel piece, and the 7-digit serial number 3065239 falls within Chanel’s 3-series, which is generally associated with production in the mid-1990s. As with many vintage Chanel bags, small variations can exist from year to year.
Q: What product information is included with this item? A: This bag comes with the serial number, authenticity card and dust bag, as listed under the product information for this item.
Q: What is the condition of this particular bag? A: The overall condition is good. Externally there is visible wear and some discolouration to the leather, the interior shows light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. Please review all images carefully for the best sense of the bag’s vintage character.
Q: Is the Small size practical for everyday use or better for evenings? A: The Small Classic is often chosen as a day-to-evening size. It is roomy enough for a compact daily edit, yet still polished for lunches, dinners and events. If you usually carry many larger items, you may prefer a bigger bag, but for a refined essentials-only carry it works very well.
Q: How should I care for vintage Chanel leather? A: Avoid overfilling the bag, keep it away from prolonged sunlight, humidity and colour transfer, and wipe it gently with a soft cloth only. When not in use, store it upright in its dust bag and lightly support the shape from inside. Extra care is especially important for a lighter vintage colour such as beige.
