Delivery & Returns
Q: What typically fits inside this Chanel Medium Suede Single Flap Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 25.5 x 16 x 7 cm, this medium-sized bag is well suited to daily essentials such as a phone, slim wallet or card holder, keys, lipstick, sunglasses and a few small personal items. It is roomy for essentials but not designed for bulkier items such as a tablet or water bottle.
Q: Can this bag be worn crossbody? A: This piece is best worn on the shoulder. The strap drop is approximately 22 cm, which usually sits comfortably as a shoulder bag rather than a true crossbody style.
Q: Is suede a delicate material for everyday use? A: Yes. Suede is generally more delicate than many smooth or grained leathers and can show rubbing, moisture marks and colour transfer more easily. It is a beautiful vintage material, but it benefits from thoughtful handling and lighter day-to-day use.
Q: How should I care for a vintage Chanel suede bag? A: Store it upright, lightly stuffed, and away from direct sunlight, heat and moisture. Avoid overfilling it, and keep it away from dark denim or rough fabrics that may cause colour transfer or friction. For surface upkeep, use a very soft suede brush and seek a specialist for deeper cleaning rather than using harsh cleaning products at home.
Q: What is included with this bag? A: This item includes the serial number tag noted in the product information. If any other item is not listed in the product information, it should not be assumed to be included.
Q: What does the serial number tell me about the bag? A: The serial number 3930599 is consistent with Chanel’s older sticker-era production and generally places the bag in the mid-1990s. Serial numbers are useful for dating, but they are only one part of authentication and should always be considered alongside materials, construction and hardware details.
Q: What condition is this bag in? A: The bag is listed in Very Good Condition. The exterior shows light traces of use, including scuffing at the corners and some marks around the leather trims. The interior also shows light trace of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches.
Q: Is this considered a vintage Chanel bag? A: Yes. Based on the serial-number era and overall style, this is a vintage Chanel piece. Vintage Chanel bags are especially sought after for their craftsmanship, classic proportions and collectable appeal.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully vetted for authenticity by specialists who assess details such as materials, stitching, hardware, construction and serial details. The serial number supports the evaluation, but authenticity is never judged on that alone.
