Chanel2.55 Reissue Double Flap Bag

Q: How does the Chanel 2.55 Reissue differ from the Classic Flap?
A: The 2.55 Reissue is recognisable by its rectangular Mademoiselle turn-lock and all-metal chain, rather than the interlocking CC clasp and leather-threaded chain associated with the Classic Flap. The Reissue was introduced in 2005 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the original February 1955 design.

Q: What size is this bag?
A: This bag is listed as the Jumbo variant and measures approximately 30 cm wide, 20 cm high and 9 cm deep. Use these measurements when comparing it with other bags, as size names and measurements can vary between listings.

Q: What can I fit inside this bag?
A: Based on its dimensions, it should accommodate everyday essentials such as a phone, wallet, keys and a small cosmetics pouch. Actual capacity depends on the size of your belongings and how you arrange them. The double-flap interior reduces usable space compared with the external measurements, so avoid overfilling.

Q: Can I wear the bag on the shoulder or crossbody?
A: The Reissue's sliding chain can be doubled for a shorter shoulder carry or extended for a longer drop. Crossbody comfort depends on your height, build and clothing, so it should not be assumed to suit everyone. Check the listed measurements and contact A Retro Tale if you need further carrying measurements.

Q: What does double flap mean?
A: It means the bag has an outer flap and an additional inner flap covering the main compartment. Both flaps need to be opened to access the main interior.

Q: What condition is this pre-owned bag in?
A: This bag is in Very Good Condition. The exterior has light marks and scratches throughout the material, while the interior shows light traces of use. The hardware remains shiny with light scratches. These signs of previous wear mean it is not in like-new condition.

Q: When and where was this bag made?
A: The product information dates the serial number beginning 12 to 2008–2009 and lists Italy as the country of origin. This identifies the production period of this particular bag, rather than the launch date of the Reissue design.

Q: What is included with this bag?
A: The product information lists a dust bag and a serial number tag. A box and authenticity card are not listed as included. Please check the product information for the confirmed inclusions.

Q: How should I care for and store this bag?
A: Gently wipe it with a soft, dry cloth and avoid cleaning products that could alter its finish. Protect it from prolonged sunlight, moisture and friction. If it gets wet, carefully blot it with an absorbent, non-pilling cloth. Store it upright in its dust bag, with the chain wrapped in tissue paper to prevent pressure marks, and avoid overfilling.
