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 are the key features and size of this Chanel Classic Medium Double Flap? A: It is the medium size Classic Double Flap in black quilted lambskin with gold‑tone hardware and a leather‑and‑chain interwoven strap. It has the signature double‑flap construction, burgundy leather lining with multiple pockets, and an exterior slip pocket. Approximate measurements are 25.5 × 15.5 × 7 cm; please see the Measurements on this page for the exact strap drop for this item.
Q: What typically fits inside the medium Classic Double Flap? A: Daily essentials such as a large smartphone, compact wallet or cardholder, keys, sunglasses in a soft pouch, and a few small cosmetics (lipstick, compact) fit comfortably. Bulky items like a water bottle or tablet are not recommended due to the structured double‑flap design and limited depth.
Q: Can I wear the medium Classic Flap crossbody? A: The medium is designed primarily as a shoulder bag. Worn with a single strap it gives a longer drop and with a doubled strap a shorter drop; many find crossbody wear sits higher on the torso and works best on shorter frames. Please refer to the Measurements on this page to gauge the drop for your height and styling preference.
Q: What does the second (inner) flap do? A: The inner flap adds structure, helps the bag retain its shape over time, provides extra security, and contributes to the Classic’s signature organised interior. Classic double flaps are known for their multiple pockets, including the small “secret” pocket inside the front flap.
Q: How delicate is lambskin and how should I care for this bag? A: Lambskin is buttery‑soft and luxurious but more prone to surface scratches and pressure marks than caviar leather. Keep the bag away from rain and oils, avoid prolonged contact with dark denim to prevent colour transfer, and wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth. Store the bag lightly stuffed in a dust bag, with the chain tucked and protected to avoid imprints on the leather.
Q: How should I look after the gold‑tone hardware and chain? A: Avoid contact with perfume, hand cream, or antibacterial gel, as these can dull the finish. After wear, gently buff with a clean microfibre cloth. When storing, place the chain in a soft sleeve or tissue so it does not press into the leather.
Q: Does this bag have a serial number or authenticity card? A: For this specific piece, the product information notes a serial sticker. On vintage Chanel, serial stickers can fade or become hard to read with age. Chanel began phasing out stickers and cards in favour of an embedded microchip metal plate in 2021, so newer bags may not include a sticker or card. Regardless, every item at A Retro Tale is authenticated by our experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, quilting, stamps, and hardware.
Q: Will a long (continental) wallet fit? A: A very slim continental wallet can fit but will reduce interior capacity and may press against the flap. For best use of space, a compact wallet or cardholder is recommended.
Q: How much does the medium Classic Double Flap weigh? A: As a guide, medium double flaps are typically around 600–700 g empty, varying slightly by leather and hardware. This weight helps the bag keep its structure while remaining comfortable for day‑to‑evening wear.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information on this page. For this piece, the product information states that a serial sticker is included. If an item such as a dust bag or authenticity card is not listed there, it is not included—please contact us if you would like us to confirm.
