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 is the difference between a Chanel Single Flap and a Double Flap? A: A Single Flap has one main flap rather than an extra interior flap, so it feels a little lighter and gives slightly easier access to the contents. Many buyers like it for its cleaner interior and practical everyday use, while still offering the classic quilted Chanel look with the CC turn-lock closure.
Q: What typically fits inside this bag? A: With measurements of approximately 25 x 15 x 5 cm, this bag is well suited to daily essentials such as a phone, keys, a cardholder or slim wallet, lipstick, and a few small extras. It is best for compact essentials rather than bulkier items.
Q: Can this bag be worn on the shoulder or crossbody? A: Yes, it offers flexible wear. The strap measures approximately 27 cm when doubled and 50 cm when worn longer. For most people it works best as a shoulder bag, and on some frames it may also sit as a shorter crossbody.
Q: How is the interior organised? A: The bag is lined in grey fabric and has one internal pocket, giving you a simple, elegant layout for organising smaller essentials.
Q: When was this bag made? A: The serial number begins with 13, which places production around 2009 to 2010. That makes this a lovely vintage Chanel piece from the late 2000s to early 2010s period.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This item comes with a booklet and serial number. Everything included with the bag is listed in the product information on this page.
Q: What condition is the bag in? A: The overall condition is very good. The exterior shows light traces of use, the lining has light marks, and the silver-tone hardware remains shiny with light surface scratches. These are gentle signs of wear consistent with a well-kept vintage bag.
Q: How should I care for a vintage Chanel leather bag like this? A: Store it upright in a breathable pouch or dust bag, lightly stuffed to help maintain its shape. Avoid overfilling, prolonged sunlight, moisture, and contact with dark or colour-transfer-prone fabrics. Clean gently with a soft cloth and take care to protect the chain from pressing into the leather during storage.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully vetted for authenticity by experienced experts. Checks typically include materials, construction, stitching, hardware, logo details, and serial markings, so you can shop pre-owned Chanel with confidence.
