Very Good Condition
This vintage Chanel Medium Flap Bag in quilted blue denim with silver-tone hardware is presented in very good condition. Finished with an interwoven chain strap, blue leather lining and turn-lock closure, it is an effortless choice for lunch dates, city outings or evening plans, adding a distinctive Chanel touch to both casual and polished looks.
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 Denim Medium Flap Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 25 x 17 x 6 cm, it is best suited to day-to-evening essentials. It will typically hold a phone, compact wallet or card holder, keys, lipstick, and a few small extras such as sunglasses. Larger items like a tablet, large purse or water bottle are unlikely to fit comfortably.
Q: Can this bag be worn crossbody? A: The listed strap measurement is 42 cm. For most people, that makes it better suited to shoulder wear rather than a true crossbody fit, although how it sits will vary depending on height and proportions.
Q: What does single flap mean? A: A single flap design has one main interior flap rather than the double-flap construction seen on some Chanel classics. It is often appreciated for being slightly lighter and easier to access while still keeping the signature flap-bag silhouette.
Q: What are the interior details of this bag? A: This piece features a blue leather lining with one internal pocket and a turn-lock closure. It offers enough organisation for small essentials while keeping the classic streamlined shape.
Q: What does the serial number 5****** mean? A: This serial range dates the bag to approximately 1997 to 1999, placing it in the late 1990s vintage period. On vintage Chanel pieces, the serial sticker and authenticity card should correspond when both are present.
Q: What is included with this bag? A: According to the product information, this piece comes with the serial number tag and authenticity card. If additional items such as a dust bag or box are not listed in the product information, they should not be assumed to be included.
Q: How should I care for a vintage Chanel denim bag? A: Denim and leather-trimmed vintage bags benefit from gentle handling. Avoid prolonged sunlight, moisture and rubbing against dark or freshly dyed fabrics, and use only a soft cloth for light surface care. When not in use, store it upright, lightly stuffed, and away from humidity to help preserve its shape.
Q: Will denim show wear differently from leather? A: Yes. Denim can develop soft fading, light rubbing and a more relaxed patina over time, which is part of its character. As with many fabric bags, careful handling helps minimise colour transfer and surface wear.
Q: What condition is this bag in? A: The overall condition is Very Good. The exterior shows light wear on the corners and base, the interior has a light trace of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches.
