Very Good Condition
This vintage Chanel Classic Medium Double Flap Bag in beige quilted leather with gold-tone hardware is in very good condition. Featuring a chain-link and leather shoulder strap, tonal leather lining with internal pockets and a CC turn-lock closure, it is an elegant choice for lunches, gallery visits or polished day-to-evening wear.
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 Classic Medium Double Flap Bag? A: With measurements of approximately 25.5 x 16 x 6.5 cm, it typically fits a phone, a compact wallet or card holder, keys, lipstick, and a few everyday essentials. Because this is a double flap style, the interior is a little more structured and slightly less roomy than a single-compartment bag of similar size.
Q: Can this bag be worn on the shoulder or crossbody? A: Yes. The chain and leather strap can be worn doubled for a shorter shoulder carry or single for a longer drop. On this piece, the listed strap measurements are 24/42, so it works well on the shoulder and may suit crossbody wear on some frames, though many people find the Medium size sits fairly high when worn crossbody.
Q: What does double flap mean? A: Double flap refers to the classic Chanel construction with an outer flap and a second interior flap. It adds structure, security, and the iconic layered look collectors love, although it also makes the bag a little heavier and slightly reduces the usable interior space.
Q: Is this bag considered vintage? A: Yes. This bag has a 5-series Chanel serial number, which is commonly associated with late-1990s production. That places it firmly in the vintage Chanel category.
Q: What is included with this item? A: The product information lists the serial number as present. If an authenticity card, box, dust bag, or any other item is not specifically listed in the product information, it should not be assumed to be included.
Q: What condition is this bag in? A: It is listed in very good condition overall. The exterior shows scuffing on the corners, the interior has light traces of use, and the hardware is shiny with light scratches.
Q: How should I care for a beige Chanel leather bag? A: Store it upright in a dust bag, lightly stuffed to help maintain its shape. Avoid prolonged sunlight, moisture, overfilling, and friction against dark clothing, as lighter leather can be more prone to colour transfer. For day-to-day care, wipe gently with a soft cloth and avoid harsh products unless professionally recommended.
Q: How is a vintage Chanel bag like this authenticated? A: Authentication should never rely on just one detail. A proper assessment considers the serial sticker, construction, quilting alignment, stitching, hardware, logo details, lining, and whether the features are correct for the production era. At A Retro Tale, each item is carefully inspected for authenticity before it is listed.
