Q: What fits inside the Chanel Classic Maxi Single Flap Bag? A: With approximate dimensions of 34 x 23 x 10 cm, this maxi size offers room for larger daily essentials such as a long wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses case, compact pouch, and small notebook or tablet. It is one of the roomiest Classic Flap formats, but capacity will still depend on how structured your items are. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: Is the maxi size suitable for everyday use? A: Yes, the maxi is often chosen by those who want the look of a Classic Flap with more carrying capacity. It works well for day-to-day use if you carry more than just small essentials. Because it is a larger format, it makes more of a statement than smaller Classic Flap sizes and may feel substantial when fully packed.
Q: Can this bag be worn on the shoulder or crossbody? A: This bag has a strap measurement of approximately 33/61 cm. That usually makes it well suited to shoulder wear, and depending on height and styling preference it may also work as a longer drop carry. Fit can vary from person to person, so we recommend comparing the strap measurement with a bag you already own and love to 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 is the difference between a single flap and a double flap Chanel bag? A: A single flap has one main interior flap rather than the additional inner flap found in double flap versions. Buyers often choose single flap styles because they are easier to access and generally feel lighter in use, while double flap bags are often preferred for their extra structure. As this is a single flap model, it offers a slightly more streamlined and practical interior.

Fit can vary from person to person, so we recommend comparing the strap measurement with a bag you already own and love to wear.
Q: What condition is this specific bag in? A: This piece is rated Very Good condition, with light traces of use noted both externally and internally. The hardware remains shiny with light scratches. As with all vintage and second-hand items, gentle signs of wear are normal and part of the bag’s character.
Q: Does this bag come with any extras? A: No additional product information is listed for this item. If something like a box, authenticity card, or dust bag is important to you, please rely on the product information shown on this page or contact customer care for confirmation before purchase.
Q: How should I care for a Chanel flap bag like this one? A: To help preserve its shape and finish, avoid overfilling the bag, keep it away from prolonged sunlight, moisture, perfume, and other chemicals, and store it upright when not in use. It is best kept in a protective pouch and lightly stuffed with tissue to help maintain structure. Use only a soft cloth for gentle cleaning and avoid harsh cleaning products on both the leather and hardware.
Q: Does the illegible serial number mean the bag cannot be authenticated? A: Not necessarily. On vintage Chanel bags, serial stickers can wear over time and may become difficult to read. Authentication should never rely on one detail alone. This bag has been assessed as an authentic pre-owned Chanel item by A Retro Tale, using the overall construction, materials, hardware, stitching, stamps, and other brand-specific details in addition to any remaining serial information.
Q: Why are Chanel single flap bags popular on the pre-owned market? A: Single flap Classic Flaps are sought after because many buyers appreciate their lighter feel, easier access, and vintage appeal. They are also less commonly encountered than standard double flap versions, which makes them especially attractive to collectors and shoppers looking for a more distinctive Classic Flap format.
