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 Single Flap Flap Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 22 x 15 x 7 cm, this is a compact small flap style. It should comfortably hold daily essentials such as a phone, card holder or slim purse, keys, and lipstick or other small beauty items. Bulkier items may make the interior feel snug, so it is best suited to light everyday or occasion use.
Q: Can this bag be worn on the shoulder or crossbody? A: This piece has a single chain-and-leather strap with an approximate drop of 52 cm. It is primarily designed to be worn on the shoulder. Depending on your height and styling preference, it may sit long on the body, but for most people it is better thought of as a shoulder bag rather than a roomy crossbody style.
Q: What is the difference between a Chanel single flap and a double flap? A: A single flap has one main flap under the CC turn-lock closure, while a double flap includes an additional interior flap. Many collectors like single flap versions because they tend to feel lighter and offer slightly easier access to the interior, while double flap bags are often preferred for added structure.
Q: Does the missing serial number mean the bag is not authentic? A: Not necessarily. Vintage Chanel bags can sometimes be found without a serial sticker, especially if the sticker has worn away over time or if the bag is from an earlier production period. A missing serial number alone does not determine authenticity, which is why overall construction, materials, hardware, stitching and brand details matter most.
Q: How do you authenticate this Chanel bag? A: At A Retro Tale, vintage designer items are reviewed through a detailed authentication process. For Chanel, this typically includes assessment of the leather, quilting, lining, hardware, stamping, construction quality and era-consistent design details, rather than relying on one element alone.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This listing notes that no additional product information is included with the bag. If you are looking for items such as a box, authenticity card or dust bag, they are not listed as included with this piece.
Q: What condition is the bag in? A: The overall condition is listed as good. Externally, there is scuffing on the corners and visible wear to the brown leather trim. Internally, there are light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. This is consistent with a well-kept vintage bag that has been previously worn.
Q: How should I care for the beige leather and gold-tone hardware? A: Store the bag upright in a breathable pouch, ideally with light stuffing inside to help maintain its shape. Avoid overfilling, prolonged sunlight, humidity and contact with dark or colour-transfer-prone fabrics. Use only a soft cloth for gentle cleaning, and take extra care around the corners and trim where wear is already visible.
Q: Is this a vintage Chanel bag? A: Yes. This piece is described as vintage and is labelled as made in France. Its single-flap construction and classic Chanel details give it the look and feel many buyers seek in earlier Chanel flap bags.
