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 size is this Chanel Classic Medium Double Flap Bag, and what typically fits inside? A: This bag measures approximately 25.5 x 16 x 6.5 cm. The medium size is widely considered the most versatile Classic Flap size and usually fits a phone, a slim wallet or card holder, keys, lipstick, and sunglasses. It works well from day to evening, but it is not large enough for a tablet, laptop, or bulkier daily essentials.
Q: Can this bag be worn on the shoulder or crossbody? A: Yes. The classic woven chain-and-leather strap can be worn doubled for a shorter shoulder carry or lengthened for a longer drop. For this item, the strap drop is listed as approximately 24/42 cm. On most wearers, the medium Classic Flap is best as a shoulder bag; crossbody wear may be possible on smaller frames, but it is usually not a full crossbody fit on taller wearers.
Q: What does double flap mean? A: A double flap has both the outer front flap and an additional interior flap inside the bag. This is one of the defining features of the classic Chanel design. It adds structure and security, but it also means the interior can feel a little more compact than the outer dimensions suggest.
Q: Will a modern smartphone fit inside? A: In most cases, yes. The medium Classic Flap is generally roomy enough for a modern smartphone along with a few small essentials. Very large phones in bulky cases may fit more snugly, especially if you also carry a fuller wallet or sunglasses case.
Q: What does the serial number 23230677 indicate? A: Chanel serial numbers from this era are commonly used to estimate the production period. A 23-series serial number is generally associated with 2017 production. As with Chanel bags in general, the serial number is one authentication checkpoint and should be considered alongside the bag’s materials, hardware, stitching, and overall construction.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Chanel is one of the most counterfeited luxury brands, so authentication is an important question. At A Retro Tale, bags are assessed through detailed checks of construction, leather, stitching, hardware, branding details, and serial information. The serial number is helpful, but it is only one part of the overall authentication process.
Q: What is included with this item? A: According to the product information for this specific bag, it includes a dust bag and serial number. If an item such as a box or authenticity card is not listed in the product information, it should not be assumed to be included.
Q: What condition is this bag in? A: This piece is listed in Very Good condition. The exterior shows scuffing on the corners, the interior has light traces of use with minor marks, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches and a little tarnishing on the clasp. These are consistent signs of careful previous use and are worth reviewing in the product images before purchase.
Q: Is the burgundy lining correct for this style? A: Yes, burgundy lining is a well-known interior detail seen on many Chanel flap bags and is especially associated with the house’s classic design language. For this specific piece, the product information states that it has a burgundy leather lining with multiple internal pockets.
Q: How should I care for a vintage Chanel quilted leather bag? A: Store it in its dust bag, lightly stuffed to help maintain its shape, and keep it away from prolonged sunlight, heat, humidity, and rough surfaces. Avoid overfilling, as this can stress the corners and flap structure. For routine care, gently wipe the leather and hardware with a soft, dry cloth, and take extra care that the chain does not press into the leather during storage.
