Carry it to summer weddings, garden parties, or a chic city dinner; the white perforated leather and silver-tone hardware lend fresh, polished elegance. The classic medium single flap with CC turn-lock transitions effortlessly from day to night, pairing beautifully with pastels, monochrome looks, or a silk slip dress.
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 Classic Medium Perforated Single Flap Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 25.5 × 16 × 6.5 cm and a single-flap construction, it comfortably holds a standard smartphone, a compact wallet or cardholder, keys, a lipstick, and slim sunglasses in a soft pouch. Capacity varies with how you pack; please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: Can I wear it crossbody? A: The strap drop on this piece is approximately 43 cm when worn as a single chain and about 14 cm when doubled (per our Measurements). It is ideal as a shoulder bag; crossbody carry may sit high and generally suits smaller frames. You can switch between single and doubled chain for different lengths.
Q: What year is this bag from based on the serial number 11243191? A: The 11-series serial (11XXXXXX) indicates production approximately between 2006 and 2008. The serial sticker inside should match the included authenticity card.
Q: How does a single flap differ from a double flap? A: Single flaps are typically lighter with slightly more usable space and quicker access under one flap. Double flaps add an internal flap that helps the bag keep its structure but reduces interior volume and adds weight. Classic single-flap versions were later discontinued, making pieces like this a sought-after vintage find.
Q: How should I care for the white perforated leather? A: Avoid overfilling to preserve shape, wipe gently with a soft dry cloth, and keep away from heat and prolonged sunlight. Store stuffed (tissue or a soft insert) in a breathable dust bag. Because the leather is perforated, keep liquids, creams and loose debris away from the holes and dust lightly with a soft brush if needed. For deeper cleaning, consult a professional leather specialist.
Q: Is colour transfer a risk with white leather? A: Yes. Light leathers can pick up dye from dark clothing (especially fresh denim) and when damp. Minimise friction with dark garments, avoid rain or humidity where possible, and rotate carry sides. If transfer occurs, seek professional care rather than using harsh cleaners at home.
Q: Is the chain length adjustable? A: The chain is not adjustable by holes or buckles, but it is convertible: wear it as a single strap for a longer shoulder drop or double it for a shorter shoulder drop. This piece features the classic interwoven chain-and-leather strap.
Q: What is included in the product information for this item? A: This bag comes with an authenticity card and a serial number tag. Items not listed in the product information (such as a brand box or dust bag) are not included.
Q: What is the overall condition? A: Very good overall. The exterior shows cracking and peeling on the interwoven leather strap and wear at the corners and around the grommets. The interior lining is clean with some light stains in the zipped pocket. Hardware is shiny with light scratches and some tarnishing on the grommets. Please review the photos for details.
Q: Can the strap leather or other components be repaired? A: Chanel boutiques can assess and offer paid repairs subject to availability and condition. Skilled third-party ateliers also provide services such as replacing the interwoven strap leather, edge refinishing and hardware polishing. Turnaround time and results vary; we recommend professional evaluation before proceeding.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in-house experts using multi-point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and serials. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to provide additional product information on request.
