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 this Chanel Classic Medium Square Double Flap Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 25.5 × 20 × 7 cm, this vintage medium square style is practical for daily essentials such as a phone, compact wallet, keys, card holder, lipstick, and sunglasses in a soft pouch. Because it is a double flap design, the inner flap adds structure but slightly reduces the usable interior space compared with a more open single-compartment bag.
Q: Can this bag be worn crossbody? A: It is best suited to shoulder wear. The strap is listed as adjustable with an approximate 25 cm drop, so on most adults it will sit as a shoulder bag rather than a true hands-free crossbody style.
Q: What does “double flap” mean? A: A double flap bag has the classic outer flap with CC turn-lock closure, plus a second inner flap inside the bag. This design is one of the signature features collectors look for in classic Chanel flap bags, and it helps give the bag extra structure and security.
Q: How does the Medium Square shape compare with the more common rectangular Classic Flap? A: This version has a more upright, squarer silhouette. At 25.5 cm wide and 20 cm high, it appears taller and more vintage in proportion than the standard medium rectangular flap, which many buyers find gives it a distinctive collector feel.
Q: What era is this bag from? A: According to the product information, the serial number is listed as 8****** and dates this piece to 1986–1988, making it a vintage Chanel bag from the late 1980s. It is also labelled as made in France.
Q: What is the condition of this bag? A: The exterior and interior are both listed as Very Good with light traces of use. The hardware is described as shiny with light scratches. Overall, it presents as a well-kept vintage piece with normal signs of gentle wear consistent with age.
Q: What is included with this item? A: The product information lists the serial number. If an authenticity card, box, dust bag, or any other extras are not shown or mentioned in the product information, they should not be assumed to be included.
Q: How should I care for and store this vintage Chanel bag? A: For vintage Chanel leather, avoid overfilling the bag, keep it away from prolonged sunlight, heat, and humidity, and store it upright when not in use. It is best to wrap the chain to prevent marks, lightly stuff the interior to help maintain the shape, and wipe the leather gently with a soft dry cloth. If the bag gets wet, blot it carefully and let it dry naturally. For deeper cleaning or restoration, use a trusted leather specialist rather than household products.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: At A Retro Tale, pre-owned luxury items are reviewed through a multi-point authentication process that considers details such as materials, construction, stitching, hardware, and serial-number consistency. This helps ensure the piece aligns with the standards expected of an authentic vintage Chanel bag.
