Perfect for spring weekends and city breaks, this vintage Chanel Medium Denim 25 in light blue quilted denim with gold‑tone hardware elevates casual looks—ideal for brunch, gallery afternoons and relaxed travel days.
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 Medium Denim 25 Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 31 × 30 × 15 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 cosmetic pouch, and a water bottle. The drawstring and flap can reduce the opening width slightly, so we recommend slim pouches for easier access.
Q: Is the strap adjustable or suitable for crossbody wear? A: The bag has dual interwoven chain-and-leather shoulder straps with an approximate 42 cm drop. They are not adjustable and are designed for shoulder carry; on most people this drop is shorter than typical crossbody lengths.
Q: How secure is the drawstring and flap closure? A: The drawstring cinches the top and the flap adds a second layer over the opening, providing good day-to-day security. To preserve the bag’s shape and structure, avoid overfilling.
Q: Will the light blue denim colour transfer or pick up dye? A: Colour transfer is possible both ways, especially with contact between light and dark fabrics. Avoid prolonged rubbing against dark denim or saturated colours and store the bag away from contrasting items to minimise the risk.
Q: How should I clean and care for the denim and hardware? A: Gently brush away dust, then spot clean denim with a soft, slightly damp cloth and a mild fabric-safe cleaner. Do not soak the bag. If it gets wet, blot and allow to air dry naturally, away from heat or direct sunlight. Wipe hardware with a soft dry cloth. Store the bag lightly stuffed in its dust bag in a cool, dry place.
Q: Is the bag water-resistant? A: Denim is not waterproof. We suggest avoiding heavy rain and considering a textile protector suitable for denim. If exposed to moisture, blot promptly and let it air dry.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information section for this listing. For this piece, that is a dust bag, a detachable pouch, and a serial number tag. If an item such as a box or authenticity card is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: How do you authenticate this Chanel bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes multi-point authentication by our in-house experts, reviewing materials, stitching, stamps, hardware, and serial or microchip details where applicable. Chanel moved from serial stickers/cards to an embedded microchip system beginning with 2021 collections, so presence of a card varies by production year and is not required for authenticity.
Q: Where was this piece made? A: The origin label states Italy. Chanel manufactures bags in France, Italy, and Spain depending on the style and season; country of origin can vary across collections.
Q: Can I use the detachable pouch separately? A: Yes. The included pouch is detachable and works well as a small organiser for essentials like cards, keys, or earbuds inside the bag or on its own when you need just the basics.
