Q: What fits inside this Chanel Octagon Flap Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 19 x 14 x 8 cm, this compact vintage flap bag is best suited to daily essentials such as a phone, card holder, keys, lipstick, and a few small personal items. It is ideal when you want a polished bag without carrying too much.
Q: Can this bag be worn on the shoulder? A: Yes. This bag has a shoulder strap measuring approximately 43 cm, which makes it suitable for shoulder wear. Depending on height and styling preference, it is generally better suited to shoulder carry than crossbody wear.

Q: Can this bag be worn on the shoulder? A: Yes. This bag has a shoulder strap measuring approximately 43 cm, which makes it suitable for shoulder wear. Depending on height and styling preference, it is generally better suited to shoulder carry than crossbody wear.
Q: Is this a good day-to-evening bag? A: Yes. The structured flap silhouette, compact size, and striking red finish make it easy to dress up for evenings while still being practical for lunch dates, events, or elevated daytime use.
Q: What condition is this bag in? A: The bag is listed in very good condition with light traces of use. The exterior and interior are both noted as very good, and the hardware is described as shiny with light scratches. As with all vintage pieces, minor signs of age are normal and form part of the bag’s character.
Q: What is included with this bag? A: According to the product information, this item includes an authenticity card and a serial number tag. If anything is not listed in the product information, it should not be assumed to be included.
Q: What does the serial number suggest about the age of the bag? A: The serial number is 1064830, which falls within Chanel’s early 1-series range. This is generally associated with production around 1989 to 1991, placing the bag firmly within the sought-after vintage Chanel era.
Q: Is the Chanel Octagon Flap Bag considered collectible? A: Yes. Octagonal Chanel bags are less commonly seen than the house’s standard rectangular flap shapes, which gives them added appeal for collectors and vintage enthusiasts. Their distinctive silhouette, combined with classic Chanel design cues, makes them especially desirable on the secondary market.
Q: How should I care for a vintage Chanel flap bag? A: Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and humidity. Keep it lightly stuffed to help maintain its shape, avoid overfilling, and wipe it gently with a soft dry cloth after use. For deeper cleaning or restoration, specialist handbag care is recommended rather than household products.
Q: How do you authenticate a vintage Chanel bag like this? A: Authenticating a vintage Chanel bag involves checking the overall construction, hardware, stitching, serial details, and consistency of the piece as a whole. At A Retro Tale, every item is vetted for authenticity by in-house experts, and this bag also comes with an authenticity card and serial number tag for added supporting details.
