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 East West Medium Chevron Single Flap Bag? A: With its slim East West shape measuring approximately 25 × 12 × 5 cm, this bag is best for essentials such as a phone, keys, a card holder or compact wallet, lipstick, and a few small personal items. Bulkier pieces and larger long wallets may be a tight fit, so it works best as an elegant day-to-evening essentials bag.
Q: Can this bag be worn crossbody? A: This style is generally best suited to shoulder wear rather than true crossbody wear. The listed strap measurements are 23/42 cm, so on most people it will sit more comfortably on the shoulder or tucked under the arm, depending on how it is carried.
Q: What makes the East West style different from a standard Chanel Classic Flap? A: The East West is known for its long, rectangular silhouette and slimmer profile. It is a single-flap style, which gives it a lighter feel and a slightly roomier interior for its size than a comparable double-flap bag, while still keeping the iconic Chanel flap look.
Q: What does the serial number 13483954 indicate? A: An 8-digit Chanel serial beginning with 13 is generally associated with the 2009–2010 production period. As with all pre-owned Chanel pieces, the serial number is helpful for dating the bag, but it should always be considered alongside materials, hardware, stitching, and overall construction when assessing authenticity.
Q: Is patent leather a practical material for this bag? A: Patent leather is appreciated for its glossy finish and structured look, and many collectors like it for evening wear or polished day looks. It is generally durable, but it can show fingerprints, surface marks, and colour transfer more easily than some matte leathers, so a little extra care is recommended.
Q: How should I care for orange patent leather? A: Wipe it gently with a soft, clean cloth after use and store it in a cool, dry, darker place away from direct sunlight and heat. To help preserve the shape, keep the bag lightly stuffed when not in use. It is also wise to avoid contact with dark denim, heavily dyed fabrics, oils, and rough surfaces, as patent leather can pick up transfer or surface wear.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This item includes the booklet and serial number noted in the listing. If another item is not specifically listed on the product page, it should not be assumed to be included.
Q: What is the interior layout of this bag? A: The bag features a pink leather lining with three internal pockets, which helps keep small essentials organised while maintaining the compact East West shape.
Q: What condition is this bag in? A: The overall condition is listed as Very Good Condition. The exterior and interior both show light traces of use, and the hardware is described as shiny with light scratches, which is consistent with careful pre-owned wear.
