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: How does the Chanel 2.55 Reissue differ from the Classic Flap? A: The 2.55 Reissue is the heritage-inspired version of Coco Chanel’s original 1955 design. It is recognised by the rectangular Mademoiselle turn-lock and all-metal chain strap, while the Classic Flap uses the interlocking CC closure and a leather-woven chain.
Q: Is this bag a single flap or double flap style? A: This listing is for the single flap version. In practical terms, that usually means a slightly lighter feel and quicker access than a double flap design.
Q: What are the key design details of this bag? A: This piece features black quilted leather, silver-tone hardware, a chain-link shoulder strap, black leather lining with internal pockets, and the signature Mademoiselle turn-lock closure.
Q: What typically fits inside this bag? A: With approximate measurements of 29 x 19 x 9 cm, it is well suited to everyday essentials such as a phone, wallet, keys, sunglasses, a card holder, and a few small personal items. Please use the measurements on this page to judge the fit for anything larger.
Q: Can this bag be worn crossbody? A: The strap drop is approximately 24 cm, so it is generally best suited to shoulder wear rather than crossbody wear for most people.
Q: When was this bag made? A: The serial number begins with 11, which places this bag in the 2006 to 2008 production period.
Q: What is the condition of this bag? A: It is listed in good condition. The exterior shows scuffing on the corners, the interior has light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This bag comes with an authenticity card and serial number. If any other inclusions are present, they will be shown in the product information for this item.
Q: How should I care for this vintage Chanel bag? A: Store it lightly stuffed in a breathable dust bag, keep it away from direct heat and moisture, avoid overfilling, and wipe it gently with a soft dry cloth after use. For deeper cleaning or repairs, we recommend using a trusted luxury leather specialist.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: At A Retro Tale, each item is carefully reviewed for key authenticity details such as materials, construction, hardware, stamps, and serial details. The included authenticity card and serial number also support the overall authentication process.
