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 Shiva Single Flap Bag? A: With approximate dimensions of 27 x 16 x 7 cm, this medium-sized flap bag is well suited to daily essentials such as a phone, compact wallet, keys, cards, lipstick and sunglasses in a slim case. It is best for essentials rather than bulkier items like a tablet, water bottle or large purse.
Q: Can this bag be worn cross-body? A: This piece has a shoulder strap drop of approximately 27 cm, so it is generally best worn on the shoulder. On most adults it will not sit as a true cross-body bag.
Q: What is the advantage of a single-flap Chanel bag? A: A single-flap design is typically lighter and a little easier to access than a double-flap style. It also offers a slightly more open interior, which many buyers prefer for everyday use.
Q: Is this a practical everyday size? A: Yes, the medium format makes it a versatile day-to-evening option. It holds the essentials comfortably while still keeping the elegant, structured look Chanel flap bags are known for.
Q: What are the condition details for this specific bag? A: The bag is listed in very good condition overall. The exterior shows visible scuffing on the corners, the interior has light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light surface scratches.
Q: What product information is included with the bag? A: This item includes a box and serial number. If anything else is not specifically listed in the product information, it should not be assumed to be included.
Q: What does the serial number indicate? A: The serial details show a 16-series number dated to 2012, which aligns with Chanel production from that period. For vintage Chanel pieces, serial details are one useful checkpoint alongside materials, stitching, hardware and overall construction.
Q: How is the inside organised? A: The bag has a black textile lining and one internal pocket. That makes it easy to separate smaller essentials such as cards, receipts or lipstick from the main compartment.
Q: How should I care for this vintage Chanel bag? A: To help preserve the leather and hardware, avoid overfilling the bag, keep it away from prolonged sunlight and moisture, and store it upright when not in use. A soft dry cloth is best for gentle surface cleaning, and the bag should be kept lightly stuffed to help maintain its shape.
