Delivery & Returns
Q: What typically fits inside the Chanel Classic Medium Full Flap Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 23 x 14 x 6 cm, it will usually fit a phone, a compact or continental wallet, keys, lipstick, and a few slim daily essentials. Because it is a structured vintage flap style, bulkier items such as large pouches or oversized sunglasses cases may be a tight fit.
Q: Can this bag be worn crossbody? A: The strap drop is approximately 54 cm. For most people, that suits shoulder wear best; on some petite frames it may sit long enough for a light crossbody look, but it is generally considered a shoulder bag rather than a dedicated crossbody style.
Q: What is the difference between a vintage full flap and a classic double flap? A: A vintage full flap typically has a single main flap construction, whereas the classic double flap includes an extra internal flap and a more compartmentalised interior. That usually makes the full flap a little lighter and easier to pack while still keeping the iconic quilted Chanel look.
Q: What does the serial number 1264653 tell me? A: Chanel serial numbers are one useful dating clue for vintage bags. A 7-digit serial beginning with 1 generally places production around 1989 to 1991. As always, the serial number should be considered alongside craftsmanship, materials, hardware, and overall construction when assessing authenticity.
Q: What is included with this bag? A: This piece comes with a box, dust bag, and serial number, as listed in the product information for this item.
Q: What condition is this bag in? A: The bag is listed in good vintage condition. The exterior has scuffs on the corners, the interior shows light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches plus slight tarnishing on the strap. These are normal signs of wear for a vintage Chanel piece and are reflected in the listing.
Q: Is this a good day-to-evening size? A: Yes. The medium flap format is one of the most versatile Chanel sizes because it is compact enough for evenings yet still large enough for daily essentials. It works well if you want a bag that can move easily from daytime wear to dinner or events.
Q: How should I care for vintage quilted leather and hardware? A: Store it in its dust bag, lightly stuffed to help maintain its shape, and keep it away from prolonged sunlight, moisture, and heat. Wipe the leather gently with a soft dry cloth and avoid overfilling the bag, as this can put strain on the corners, flap, and chain. For deeper cleaning or restoration, use a specialist experienced with vintage luxury leather.
Q: How do you authenticate this Chanel bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is reviewed by specialists using multiple checkpoints such as materials, stitching, hardware, branding details, and serial information. Vintage Chanel bags are assessed as a whole rather than by one detail alone.
