Q: What typically fits inside this Chanel Classic Square Single Flap Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 20 × 15 × 6 cm, it is best suited to essentials such as a phone, cardholder or slim wallet, keys, lipstick, and a few small extras. It is a compact day-to-evening size rather than a large everyday carryall.
Q: Is this a single flap or a double flap? A: This is the Single Flap version. Compared with a double flap, a single flap generally feels lighter and gives you easier access to the interior while still offering the classic quilted Chanel look.
Q: Can this bag be worn crossbody? A: The listed strap measurement is 52 cm. For most people, this style is best worn on the shoulder rather than as a long crossbody, although the fit can vary depending on your height and preferred look.
Q: Is this considered a vintage Chanel bag? A: Yes. This piece is listed as vintage and features the classic details collectors look for, including quilted leather, gold-tone hardware, a woven leather and chain strap, and the CC turn-lock closure.
Q: What does the serial number mean? A: This bag includes serial number 1265490. On vintage Chanel bags, the serial number is an important reference point when assessing age and authenticity alongside materials, construction, hardware, and interior details.
Q: What condition is the bag in? A: The overall condition is good. The exterior shows light traces of use with scuffs to the leather, mainly at the corners, the interior has minor marks, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches.
Q: What is included with the bag? A: The product information lists the serial number. If an authenticity card, box, dust bag, or other items are not shown in the product information, they are not included with this piece.
Q: How should I care for vintage Chanel leather? A: Store the bag upright in a breathable pouch, avoid overfilling, keep it away from prolonged sunlight and humidity, and wipe it gently with a soft cloth. Avoid harsh cleaning products, and handle the corners and flap carefully to help preserve the leather over time.
