An elegant choice for gallery openings, cocktail hours or dinner dates, this vintage Chanel Classic Jumbo Double Flap in black quilted lambskin with gold-tone hardware adds timeless polish to every look.

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 Classic Jumbo Double Flap? A: With approximate dimensions of 30 × 20 × 9 cm, the Jumbo comfortably carries daily essentials: a large smartphone, continental wallet, keys, slim sunglasses in a soft case, a small cosmetics pouch, an A5 diary and a compact umbrella. The double‑flap construction slightly reduces usable space compared with single‑flap designs.
Q: Will it fit a tablet or laptop? A: Most 10–11‑inch tablets fit when placed without a bulky case. A4 documents generally won’t lie flat, and laptops do not fit due to the height and structured double‑flap design. Share your device’s measurements and we’ll perform a tailored fit check on this exact piece.
Q: Is the chain strap adjustable, and can I wear it crossbody? A: The strap is not adjustable. You can wear it doubled for a shorter shoulder carry or as a single chain for a longer shoulder or high crossbody fit on many frames. We list the exact strap drop under Measurements—if anything’s missing, just ask and we’ll confirm for you.
Q: How secure is the closure and what is the interior layout? A: The Classic Double Flap uses a CC turn‑lock on the outer flap plus an interior flap with a snap for added security. Typical compartments include a main compartment, a front slip pocket, a lipstick slot, an interior slip pocket, a zipped pocket under the outer flap (often nicknamed the “love‑letter” pocket) and a back exterior slip pocket. Our listing photos show the exact configuration and the burgundy leather lining of this piece.
Q: What is Chanel lambskin like, and how should I care for it? A: Lambskin is luxuriously soft and smooth. Keep the bag away from moisture and oils, be mindful of colour transfer (e.g., from dark denim), and avoid abrasive surfaces. Wipe with a soft, dry cloth and condition smooth leather very sparingly after testing on a discreet area. Store the bag upright, lightly stuffed, in a breathable dust bag.
Q: Will the chain leave marks on the flap? How should I store the strap? A: Chain impressions can occur if the strap presses against the leather during storage. Tuck the chain inside the bag and wrap it in soft felt or tissue, avoid overfilling, and store the bag upright and lightly padded to help maintain its shape.
Q: Where are the brand markings and codes located? A: Authentic Chanel bags feature “CHANEL” and a country of origin stamp inside (Made in France/Italy). Older models include a serial sticker inside appropriate to their era. This specific bag is labelled Made in France and is delivered with its serial number tag as listed under Accessories.
Q: How do you authenticate this item? A: Every piece at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts, assessing materials, quilting and stitching, stamps and font, hardware, and the serial sticker/tag format and placement for its era. We stand behind the authenticity of everything we sell.
Q: What accessories are included with this listing? A: For this bag, we list: serial number tag. If an accessory isn’t mentioned under “Accessories,” it isn’t included—feel free to contact us and we’ll confirm.
Q: Can Chanel repair or service the Classic Flap? A: Chanel offers repair and refurbishment services subject to assessment and parts availability; costs and lead times vary by region and model. Skilled independent luxury leather specialists can also handle cleaning and restoration. We’re happy to advise on typical options and help you prepare for a boutique assessment.
