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 CC Diamond Single Flap Bag? A: With approximate dimensions of 23 x 18 x 5 cm, it is best suited to daily essentials such as a phone, a card holder or slim wallet, keys, lipstick, and a few small personal items. Because the bag has a slim profile, bulkier items may be a tight fit.
Q: Can this bag be worn crossbody? A: The strap drop is approximately 43 cm, so for most people it will sit most comfortably on the shoulder rather than fully crossbody. Fit can vary depending on your height and proportions.
Q: What is the difference between a single flap and a double flap Chanel bag? A: A single flap has one main flap and is often appreciated for being lighter and easier to access. A double flap includes an additional interior flap, which can add structure but also a little extra weight and slightly less usable space. Many buyers like vintage single flaps for their practicality.
Q: Is this bag vintage? A: Yes. This piece is a vintage Chanel bag, and the listed serial number range dates it to approximately 1986 to 1988.
Q: What does the serial number mean? A: Chanel serial stickers help date vintage bags and support the authentication process. In this case, the 0-series serial number indicates an early production period from around 1986 to 1988. As with all vintage Chanel items, the serial number should be considered together with the bag’s craftsmanship, hardware, lining, and overall construction.
Q: What is included with this bag? A: This item includes the serial number noted in the product information. No authenticity card, box, or dust bag is listed, so those should not be expected unless confirmed separately.
Q: Can a vintage Chanel bag still be authentic without the authenticity card? A: Yes. Vintage Chanel bags can still be authentic even if the authenticity card is missing, as cards are often lost over time. The serial sticker and the overall quality and construction of the bag are usually more important than the card alone.
Q: What condition is this bag in? A: It is listed in good condition with light traces of use to the exterior and interior. The hardware is described as shiny with light scratches. Gentle signs of age are normal for a vintage Chanel piece and often form part of its character.
Q: How should I care for this vintage Chanel bag? A: Store it upright, avoid overfilling it, and keep it away from direct sunlight, humidity, and rough surfaces. If storing it for a longer period, it is helpful to wrap the chain and keep the bag lightly supported so it holds its shape. Use only very gentle care suitable for fine vintage leather, and consult a professional specialist if deeper cleaning is needed.
