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 Full Flap Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 19 x 13 x 3 cm, this bag is best for small daily essentials such as a phone, card holder, keys, lipstick and a few slim items. It is a compact vintage shoulder bag, so bulkier pieces like a large purse, sunglasses case or wide cosmetics pouch may be too much for the interior.
Q: Can this bag be worn cross-body? A: It is designed primarily as a shoulder bag. The listed strap measurement is 46 cm, so for most people it will sit best on the shoulder rather than as a true cross-body style. We recommend comparing the strap drop with a bag you already wear comfortably.
Q: Is lambskin delicate? A: Yes. Chanel lambskin is loved for its soft, smooth finish, but it is more delicate than grained leather and can show scratches and rubbing more easily with regular use. This particular bag already has scratches noted on the exterior, which is typical of a vintage lambskin piece.
Q: How should I care for vintage lambskin leather? A: Store the bag upright in its dust bag, keep it away from prolonged sunlight, moisture and rough surfaces, and avoid overfilling it. A soft dry cloth is the safest option for light surface marks, while strong cleaners and heavy rubbing are best avoided on delicate lambskin.
Q: What condition is this bag in? A: The bag is listed in good vintage condition. The exterior has scratches on the leather, the interior shows light traces of use, the hardware is shiny with light scratches, and the lock is noted as broken. Please review the product images carefully for the clearest view of its current condition.
Q: Does the closure work properly? A: The condition notes mention a broken lock, so signs of wear around the closure should be expected. The bag is described with a snap closure, but if you would like exact clarification on how the closure functions in use, please contact us before purchase.
Q: What product information is included with the bag? A: This item comes with a dust bag and an authenticity card. Everything included with the purchase is listed in the product information section.
Q: The serial number is listed as illegible. Is that unusual for a vintage Chanel bag? A: Not necessarily. On vintage Chanel pieces, serial stickers can wear down or become difficult to read over time. An illegible serial does not automatically mean a bag is inauthentic, especially when other details and the overall construction are consistent and the bag still retains accompanying product information.
Q: Is this a good everyday size? A: It is a practical choice if you carry only the essentials and want a compact, elegant silhouette. If you usually carry a long wallet, larger beauty items or several extras throughout the day, you may prefer a larger Chanel flap style.
