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 in the Chanel On The Road Flap Bag (approx. 31 × 16 × 11 cm)? A: It comfortably holds a long zip wallet, smartphone, keys, sunglasses in a soft case, small cosmetics pouch and a compact umbrella. It does not fit A4 documents or a 13-inch laptop. Compact tablets like an iPad mini can fit when placed horizontally and without a bulky case, but capacity varies by how you pack—please use the Measurements above as your guide.
Q: Can the strap be adjusted or worn crossbody? A: The bag has a single flat shoulder strap with an approximate 20 cm drop. It is not adjustable and is designed to be worn on the shoulder rather than crossbody.
Q: Is this style still produced by Chanel? A: The On The Road line was a seasonal collection released around 2009–2011 and is no longer in current production. Pieces appear only on the pre-owned market, which is why this model is considered a rare find for vintage lovers.
Q: What is the leather and lining on this piece? A: This bag features an off-white (ecru) quilted leather exterior with silver‑tone hardware and a light grey fabric lining with internal pockets. On The Road pieces from this era were often crafted in grained, aged or glazed calfskin, giving them a softly structured look with distinctive quilting.
Q: How secure and practical is the interior? A: The CC turn‑lock flap provides secure closure. Inside, the light grey fabric lining includes both zip and slip pockets to organise small essentials like cards, lipstick and receipts.
Q: What year is this bag from based on its serial number 13346220? A: A 13‑series Chanel serial number dates to approximately 2009–2010, which aligns with the On The Road collection timeline. Please note the serial sticker on this piece shows wear, which is common with age, but the number remains referenced in our product information.
Q: What is included in the product information for this item? A: This listing includes a dust bag and the in‑bag serial number sticker. An authenticity card or box is not included unless explicitly stated in the product information section.
Q: Is the ecru colour prone to colour transfer and how should I care for it? A: Light leathers can show transfer from darker fabrics and are sensitive to cosmetics and moisture. Avoid prolonged contact with dark or non‑colourfast clothing, keep the bag away from oils and liquids, and wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after use. Store it loosely stuffed in its dust bag, out of direct sunlight and heat, and avoid overfilling to preserve the shape.
Q: Is the bag heavy for daily use? A: Despite its medium size, On The Road bags from this era are known to be relatively lightweight and easy to carry, with the flat shoulder strap sitting comfortably under the arm. As with any vintage piece, what you carry will affect overall weight and wear.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this Chanel bag? A: Every item is carefully vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and serial numbers. We stand behind the authenticity of all items and are happy to provide additional photos or details on request.
