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 Flap Bag? A: With measurements of approximately 24 x 16 x 5 cm, it is best suited to daily essentials such as a phone, card holder or compact wallet, keys, and a few small personal items. It is a structured flap style, so capacity is elegant rather than roomy.
Q: Can this bag be worn crossbody? A: The chain-and-leather strap drop is approximately 47 cm, so for most people it will sit best on the shoulder rather than as a true crossbody bag. Fit can vary depending on height and styling preference.
Q: Is this a vintage Chanel bag? A: Yes. This piece is listed as vintage and features the classic Chanel details many buyers look for, including black quilted leather, gold-tone hardware, a chain-interwoven leather strap, and the CC flap design.
Q: What product information is included with the bag? A: The listed product information includes the serial number. If an authenticity card, box, or dust bag is not listed in the product information, it should not be assumed to be included.
Q: What does the serial number tell me? A: Chanel serial numbers are an important part of dating and assessing vintage bags. A 7-digit serial like the one listed here is typical of older Chanel production and should be considered alongside construction, materials, and overall craftsmanship when evaluating the piece.
Q: What is the condition of this bag? A: The bag is in very good vintage condition overall. The exterior shows light traces of use with some creasing, the interior has minor marks, and the hardware has scratches and some discoloration. These signs are consistent with age and wear and are best reviewed alongside the photos.
Q: How should I care for vintage Chanel leather? A: Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, keep it lightly stuffed to help maintain its shape, and avoid overfilling. For routine care, use a soft dry cloth and handle the leather gently, especially around the corners and flap. Avoid abrasive cleaning methods or harsh products.
Q: Is this a practical everyday Chanel size? A: This size sits in a versatile range for buyers who want a classic flap look without carrying a large bag. It works well from day to evening and is best for essentials rather than bulkier items such as a water bottle, tablet, or large purse.
Q: How do you authenticate a pre-owned Chanel bag like this? A: Reputable vintage specialists assess details such as leather quality, stitching, hardware, logo placement, interior stamps, and the serial sticker. This bag also has a listed serial number, which is one of several checkpoints commonly used when evaluating authenticity.
