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 Large Full Flap Bag? A: With approximate dimensions of 28 x 20 x 7 cm, this bag is well suited to daily essentials such as a phone, long wallet, keys, sunglasses, lipstick and a small pouch. It offers more room than smaller flap styles, but it is not intended for bulkier items such as a laptop or large water bottle. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for the exact size.
Q: What does single flap mean? A: A single flap bag has one main flap rather than the additional inner flap found in a double flap design. Many collectors like single flap versions because they feel easier to access, slightly roomier inside and often lighter to carry, whilst double flap styles tend to feel more structured.
Q: Is this considered a vintage Chanel style? A: Yes. This is a vintage Chanel flap bag, and single flap versions in the larger Classic Flap family are especially associated with earlier production years. They are popular with collectors for their classic look, practical interior space and lighter feel compared with later double flap versions.
Q: What does the serial number 1550991 tell me? A: Chanel serial number 1550991 falls within the 1-series range, which typically dates the bag to around 1989 to 1991. On vintage Chanel pieces, the serial number helps indicate the approximate production period, although it should always be considered alongside the bag’s overall construction and details.
Q: How can this bag be carried? A: This bag features an interwoven chain and leather strap listed as adjustable. It is generally best suited to shoulder wear, and the exact fit will depend on your height and how you prefer the strap to sit. For the best sense of scale, please use the Measurements provided on this page.
Q: What product information are included with this item? A: This item includes a serial number and an authentication card. Everything included with the bag is listed under the product information on this page; if another item is not listed there, it should not be assumed to be included.
Q: What does the condition description mean for this specific bag? A: The exterior is noted as good, with scuffing on the corners and wear and tarnish on the top edge. The interior is very good with light traces of use, and the hardware is shiny with light scratches. In practical terms, this means the bag remains very presentable and usable, but it does show the honest signs of wear expected from a vintage Chanel piece.
Q: How should I care for a vintage Chanel leather flap bag like this? A: Store it upright in a breathable dust bag, lightly stuffed to help maintain its shape, and keep the chain wrapped so it does not press into the leather. Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight, moisture and heat, and wipe the leather gently with a soft cloth only. As this piece already shows corner and edge wear, careful storage and gentle handling will help preserve it over time.
