An elegant choice for weddings, gallery openings and evening dinners, Chanel’s Small Classic Double Flap in camel adds refined warmth to monochrome tailoring and lifts casual denim at weekend brunch. A sophisticated day-to-night companion, it carries the essentials with ease—perfect whenever discreet, timeless luxury is the order of the day.
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 Small Classic Double Flap? A: With its compact profile and double flap, it comfortably holds a standard-size smartphone, a small wallet or card holder, keys, and a couple of small cosmetics. A long continental wallet or a bulky sunglass case usually will not fit. For exact capacity, refer to the measurements listed here (approx. 23 × 14.5 × 7 cm).
Q: Can I wear it crossbody? A: Many wear the Small crossbody by extending the chain as a single strap. The drop is typically around 40–42 cm when worn single and about 23–24 cm when doubled for the shoulder. This specific piece lists an approx. 40 cm strap drop and 23 cm handle drop in our product information. Fit varies by height and torso length.
Q: What is the benefit of the double flap? A: The interior second flap adds structure and security and helps the bag keep its shape over time. The trade-off is slightly less interior space and a touch more weight compared with single-flap versions.
Q: Is lambskin durable enough for everyday use? A: Lambskin offers a soft, luxurious hand and a beautiful sheen, but it is more prone to scratches and visible wear than caviar (grained) calfskin. With mindful use—avoiding rough surfaces, overfilling, or heavy rain—many clients carry lambskin regularly without issue.
Q: How should I care for and store this bag? A: Wipe the leather gently with a soft, dry cloth after wear; avoid contact with dark denim and saturated dyes to minimise colour transfer. Store in a breathable dust bag, loosely stuffed with acid-free tissue to maintain shape, and keep out of direct sunlight. For deep cleaning or repairs, we recommend professional care; Chanel boutiques offer repair services via CHANEL & moi.
Q: Will my phone fit? A: Most standard smartphones fit upright inside the Small, but oversized models with bulky cases may be tight. If in doubt, compare your phone’s dimensions to the internal space and the measurements shown on this page.
Q: Can I shorten or lengthen the chain? A: Yes. Wear the chain doubled for a shorter shoulder carry or single for maximum drop. Small variations in chain length exist between production years, so drop can differ by a few centimetres. Refer to our product information for this piece’s exact drop.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under product information. For this piece, the product information indicates a dust bag and a serial number tag.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes multi-point authentication by our in-house experts, who examine materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, and serials. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can share further details on request.
