This vintage Chanel Paris-Chateau de Chenonceau flap bag in black quilted velvet with gold-tone hardware is presented in very good condition, with very light traces of use. Finished with a woven chain and leather shoulder strap, red textile lining and Diamond CC turn-lock closure, it is an elegant choice for evening events, dinners or adding a refined touch to day-to-night dressing.
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 flap bag? A: With approximate measurements of 17.5 x 13 x 7 cm, it is best suited to small daily essentials such as a phone, card holder, keys, lipstick and a few compact items. It is a mini-sized style, so bulkier purses, large glasses cases or tablets will not fit comfortably.
Q: Can this bag be worn cross-body? A: The strap measures approximately 52 cm. For most people, that makes it most comfortable as a shoulder bag, though it may work as a short cross-body depending on your height and preferred fit. Comparing the strap measurement with a favourite bag you already own is the best guide.
Q: Does this bag have any interior pockets? A: Yes. It has a red textile lining and one internal pocket, which is useful for slim essentials you want to keep separate from the main compartment.
Q: How delicate is the velvet exterior? A: Velvet is a more delicate finish than many grained leathers, so gentle handling is recommended. This style is ideal for careful day-to-evening use rather than heavy daily wear, overfilling or rough contact with abrasive surfaces.
Q: How should I care for the velvet and hardware? A: Avoid prolonged sunlight, humidity, overfilling and repeated friction. If the bag gets damp, gently pat it dry with a soft, non-pilling cloth rather than rubbing it. To preserve the finish, avoid harsh cleaning products and handle the hardware with care.
Q: How should I store this bag when not in use? A: Store it upright in a breathable pouch or dust bag, lightly stuffed with acid-free tissue to help maintain the shape. It is also best to keep the chain tucked or wrapped so it does not mark the exterior over time.
Q: What is the condition of this piece? A: The overall condition is Very Good. The exterior and interior both show only very light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light surface scratches.
Q: Is the serial number readable? A: The serial number on this piece is listed as illegible. That means it should not be used as the only dating or authenticity reference. As with many pre-owned Chanel bags, the overall construction, materials, hardware and expert assessment are more important than one single marker.
Q: What product information is included with this bag? A: No original product information is included with this item. If something is not listed on the product page, it should be assumed not to be included.
Q: How is a bag like this typically authenticated if no original product information is present? A: Original product information can support provenance, but pre-owned Chanel bags are typically assessed through a combination of materials, construction, stitching, hardware, interior details and brand markings. A Retro Tale authenticates all items before sale.
