Q: Is this the medium size and what are the exact measurements? A: Yes. The measurements listed for this piece are approximately 25.5 × 16 × 6.5 cm, which aligns with the well-known medium Classic Flap silhouette. Minor variations can occur based on leather and production era; please refer to the Measurements on this page for the precise dimensions of this item.
Q: Can I wear this bag crossbody? A: This example has dual leather shoulder straps with an approximate 23 cm strap drop, so it is intended for shoulder wear rather than crossbody for most heights. Medium Classic Flap proportions are generally better suited to shoulder carry; crossbody tends to sit high and is uncommon for this size.
Q: What typically fits inside? A: Daily essentials such as a smartphone, continental or compact wallet, keys, a slim sunglasses case, and small cosmetics fit comfortably. Capacity is helped by the single-flap construction, but to preserve structure, avoid overfilling and use a soft pouch for bulkier items.
Q: Is the Chanel single flap still produced? A: Chanel phased out single flaps in the core Classic sizes around 2014. They remain available on the pre-owned market, which is why this vintage piece is sought after by collectors.
Q: Is the strap adjustable? A: The dual leather shoulder straps on this design are fixed length and not adjustable. If you prefer a lower drop, consider using a thin organiser insert to keep contents lower in the bag so it sits slightly flatter against the body.
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.

Capacity is helped by the single-flap construction, but to preserve structure, avoid overfilling and use a soft pouch for bulkier items.
Q: What is the difference between a single flap and a double flap, and which is this? A: This is a single flap. Compared with double flaps, single flaps are a little lighter and offer slightly more usable space because there is no second internal flap. Functionally they still close with the CC turn-lock and carry similarly on the shoulder.
Q: Is the Chanel single flap still produced? A: Chanel phased out single flaps in the core Classic sizes around 2014. They remain available on the pre-owned market, which is why this vintage piece is sought after by collectors.
Q: What does the serial number 6484574 indicate? A: A 7‑digit Chanel serial beginning with 6 typically dates to approximately 2000–2002. As with all vintage items, the serial sticker and other markers are considered together during authentication.
Q: How should I care for the perforated leather and cream trim? A: Follow Chanel’s general care advice: do not overfill, avoid prolonged contact between light and dark colours to reduce the risk of colour transfer, keep away from humidity and direct sunlight, and wipe gently with a soft, non‑pilling cloth if damp. With perforations, avoid saturating the leather; apply cleaner sparingly to a cloth (not directly to the surface) and use a soft brush or gentle compressed air to lift dust from the holes. Store upright in a breathable dust bag with tissue supporting the shape, and keep straps wrapped to prevent imprinting.
Q: Does it have useful pockets? A: Yes. The bag features one internal zipped pocket and an external back pocket for items you need to access quickly, such as a travel card or receipts.
Q: Is the strap adjustable? A: The dual leather shoulder straps on this design are fixed length and not adjustable. If you prefer a lower drop, consider using a thin organiser insert to keep contents lower in the bag so it sits slightly flatter against the body.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under product information. For this piece, the serial number tag is included. If an item such as an authenticity card or box is not mentioned in product information, it is not included—feel free to contact us for confirmation.
Q: How is authenticity verified? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously examined by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, and serials. We stand behind the authenticity of all items and can share additional photos or details on request.
