Delivery & Returns
Q: What typically fits inside the Chanel Chocolate Bar East West Flap Bag? A: With approximate dimensions of 26 x 14 x 4 cm, this bag is best suited to small essentials such as a phone, card holder, keys, lipstick and other slim items. The elongated East West shape is elegant but compact, so bulkier purses, large sunglasses cases or water bottles are unlikely to fit comfortably.
Q: Can this bag be worn crossbody? A: No. The strap drop is approximately 30 cm, which makes it suitable for shoulder wear rather than crossbody styling.
Q: Is the strap adjustable or removable? A: This listing describes a single interwoven chain and leather shoulder strap. As no detachable or adjustable function is noted in the product information, it should be considered a fixed shoulder strap.
Q: What are the main design details of this bag? A: This piece features beige quilted leather, gold-tone hardware, a single interwoven chain and leather shoulder strap, tonal leather lining with internal pockets, and an interlocking CC turn-lock closure.
Q: What does the serial number tell me about the age of the bag? A: The product information dates this bag to 2002 - 2003, and the serial number format is consistent with an early-2000s Chanel piece. That places it firmly in the vintage Chanel period.
Q: Is the Chanel East West Flap a vintage or discontinued style? A: Yes. This example is a vintage bag from 2002 - 2003, and the East West Flap silhouette is a discontinued Chanel style, which adds to its collector appeal.
Q: What condition is this bag in? A: It is rated Good Condition. The exterior shows scuffing on the corners and slight darkening in the leather, the interior has light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches.
Q: What is included with the bag? A: The product information lists a serial number. If an authenticity card, box, dust bag or any other extra is not shown in the product information, it should not be assumed to be included.
Q: How should I care for this vintage Chanel bag? A: Store it upright in a pouch or dust bag, keep it away from prolonged sunlight, heat and moisture, avoid overfilling it, and wipe it gently with a soft cloth. Because this bag already shows light wear and corner scuffing, careful storage and gentle handling are especially important.
Q: How is authenticity assessed for a vintage Chanel bag like this? A: Authentication should never rely on one detail alone. For vintage Chanel, the serial number is an important clue, but experts also assess the construction, leather, hardware, stitching, lining and brand stamps. At A Retro Tale, all items are carefully vetted before sale.
