Very Good Condition
From gallery openings to dinner dates, this vintage Chanel Large Rock and Chain flap bag in black quilted leather elevates any look. With gold-tone chain details and a magnetic flap, it lends effortless glamour to day-to-night dressing and polished city outings.
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 the Chanel Large Rock and Chain Accordion Flap Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 35 × 26 × 17 cm, it comfortably holds an A4 document folder or tablet, a 13-inch laptop in a slim sleeve, a long wallet, phone, keys, a small cosmetics pouch and a compact water bottle. Capacity varies with how you pack; the accordion sides allow some flex while the flap still closes neatly.
Q: Can this bag be worn on the shoulder or crossbody? A: This specific piece has a single short handle with chain details and an approximate 10 cm drop, so it is designed for hand carry or the crook of the arm rather than shoulder or crossbody wear.
Q: How secure is the closure and what is the interior like? A: It has a magnetic flap closure that gives quick access while staying secure for day-to-day use. Inside you will find a gold-coloured satin lining with one zipped pocket and one slip pocket for organisation.
Q: What does the serial number 12366025 indicate about the production period? A: Chanel serial numbers help estimate production windows. A 12-series code like 12366025 typically dates to around 2008–2011, placing this piece in the late 2000s era and making it a vintage example.
Q: What are the materials and hardware on this item? A: This example is crafted in black leather with diamond quilting and a stitched CC logo, finished with gold-tone hardware and a gold-coloured satin interior lining, giving it the signature Rock and Chain look with a refined edge.
Q: How does the accordion construction affect capacity and shape? A: The gusseted accordion sides expand to accommodate larger loads, then compress when lightly packed to keep a tidy silhouette. To preserve shape, avoid overfilling and store the bag softly padded when not in use.
Q: What is included with this purchase? A: Everything included is listed under the product information section on this page. For this item, the product information currently notes no additional items are included.
Q: How is authenticity verified by A Retro Tale? A: Every piece undergoes a multi-point inspection by our in-house experts, including assessment of leather, stitching, hardware, brand stamps and serial code consistency, supported by specialist tools and market references. Serial numbers assist with dating but are only one part of the overall authentication process.
Q: Any care tips for this vintage Chanel bag? A: Wipe the leather gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth; allow to air dry away from heat. Avoid prolonged sun exposure or contact with oils. Store in a breathable dust bag, padded with tissue to maintain the accordion structure, and keep the chain away from pressing into the leather when stored.
Q: Where was this bag made? A: The origin label states Italy, consistent with many Chanel Rock and Chain pieces from this period.
