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 Classic Small Jersey Double Flap Bag? A: With measurements of approximately 23 x 15 x 7 cm, this small size is best for daily essentials rather than larger carry items. It will generally suit a phone, cardholder or slim wallet, keys, lipstick, and a few small extras. Bulkier items such as a large purse or hard sunglasses case may make it feel quite full, so we recommend checking the Measurements on this page before purchasing.
Q: Is the Small size better for daytime or evening use? A: This size is widely loved for day-to-evening use. It is compact and elegant enough for dinners and events, while still being practical for essentials during the day. The black colour and gold-tone hardware also make it especially versatile.
Q: Can this bag be worn crossbody? A: It is primarily designed as a shoulder bag. The chain can be worn doubled or longer on the shoulder, and some petite wearers do find the Small Classic workable crossbody, but many prefer it as a shoulder style. For the best idea of proportion, please refer to the strap measurements listed on this page.
Q: What does double flap mean on this Chanel bag? A: A double flap style has the classic outer flap with the CC turn-lock, plus a second interior flap inside the bag. This construction is part of the iconic Chanel look and helps the bag keep its structure, although it also means the interior feels slightly more compact than a single-flap design.
Q: Is jersey a delicate material? A: Yes. Jersey is generally considered more delicate than Chanel leather finishes and can be more prone to lint, rubbing, pilling, and visible marks from regular wear. It is a beautiful vintage material choice, but it benefits from careful handling and thoughtful storage.
Q: How should I care for and store a vintage Chanel jersey bag? A: Avoid overfilling the bag, prolonged sunlight, moisture, and repeated friction against rough or colour-transfer fabrics. For light surface dust, use a soft non-pilling cloth very gently. Store it upright, lightly filled to help maintain shape, and keep the chain from pressing directly into the fabric when stored for longer periods.
Q: What does the serial number 0788865 indicate? A: This bag has serial number 0788865, and Chanel serials beginning with 0 are generally associated with late-1980s production, roughly around 1986 to 1988. As with all vintage Chanel bags, the serial number is an important dating clue, but it should always be considered alongside the bag's overall construction and details.
Q: What is included with this item? A: The product information lists a serial number as included. If other items such as a box, dust bag, or authenticity card are not listed in the product information, they should not be assumed to be included. Please refer to the Product information section for the most accurate inclusion details.
Q: What condition is this bag in? A: According to the product details, the exterior and interior are both in very good condition with light traces of use, and the hardware is shiny with light scratches. In practical terms, this means the bag presents very well for a vintage Chanel piece while still showing gentle signs of prior wear.
