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 East West Chocolate Bar Flap Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 26 x 14 x 4 cm, this slim East West shape is best for essentials such as a smartphone, a compact wallet or cardholder, keys, lipstick and other small daily items. It is not ideal for bulkier pieces or a large full-size purse.
Q: Can this bag be worn crossbody? A: No. This model is designed as a shoulder bag rather than a crossbody style. The chain strap drop is approximately 31 cm, so it sits best on the shoulder or neatly under the arm.
Q: Is the Chanel East West Chocolate Bar Flap Bag a discontinued style? A: Yes. The Chanel East West Flap is a discontinued vintage style from the 2000s, which is part of what makes it especially appealing to collectors and lovers of older Chanel designs.
Q: How old is this particular bag? A: This bag carries serial number 6640951. Chanel 6-series serial numbers are generally associated with an early-2000s production window, around 2000 to 2002.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: A Retro Tale carefully reviews each item using expert checks of materials, construction, stitching, hardware and serial details. On vintage Chanel, the serial number is one important indicator, but it is always assessed together with the overall craftsmanship and design details.
Q: What is the condition of this bag? A: This piece is listed in Very Good Condition overall. The exterior shows visible marks and scuffing to the leather, the interior has light traces of use with some scratches on the inside of the flap, and the hardware remains shiny with light surface scratches.
Q: What is included with this item? A: The product information notes the serial number. If an authenticity card, box or other item is not listed in the product information, it should be assumed not to be included.
Q: Does the bag have any internal organisation? A: Yes. It has a tonal leather lining and an internal pocket, which is useful for slimmer essentials you want to keep separate from the main compartment.
Q: Is this bag practical for everyday use? A: It is practical if you prefer carrying only the essentials. The elongated East West silhouette is elegant and easy to style from day to evening, but the slim depth means it works best when packed lightly.
Q: How should I care for vintage Chanel leather? A: Use a soft cloth for gentle cleaning and avoid harsh products that may affect the finish. Try not to overfill the bag, keep it away from prolonged sunlight, humidity and colour transfer from dark fabrics, and store it upright with the chain wrapped so it does not press into the leather.
