This Chanel Small Contrast Stitch Single Flap Bag in black quilted leather with contrast red stitching and gold-tone hardware is in very good condition with light traces of use. An elegant choice for lunch dates, evenings out or day-to-night wear, its compact silhouette brings a distinctive Chanel finish to both tailored and casual looks.
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 fits inside the Chanel Small Contrast Stitch Single Flap Bag? A: With measurements of 21.5 x 13 x 5.5 cm, it is best suited to small daily essentials such as a phone, card holder or compact wallet, keys, lipstick and a few slim extras. It is not designed for bulkier items such as a large purse, water bottle or tablet.
Q: Is this a good everyday bag? A: Yes, if you prefer to travel light. Small Chanel flap bags are often loved for day-to-evening use, but they can feel restrictive if you carry larger daily essentials.
Q: Can this bag be worn crossbody? A: The strap drop is approximately 54 cm, which gives it a longer shoulder carry. Depending on your height and styling preference it may work crossbody, but it is generally best thought of as a compact shoulder bag.
Q: What does single flap mean? A: A single flap bag has one main flap rather than the double interior flap found on many classic Chanel styles. Many buyers like single flap designs because they feel lighter and easier to access.
Q: What makes the contrast stitch design special? A: The black quilted leather is finished with red contrast stitching, which gives the bag a more distinctive look than tonal stitching and makes the quilting stand out beautifully.
Q: What does the serial number indicate? A: The serial number begins with 23, which corresponds to a 2017 production period. A visible serial number is also an important identification detail for pre-owned Chanel bags.
Q: What is the condition of this bag? A: It is listed in very good overall condition. The exterior and interior show light traces of use, and the gold-tone hardware remains shiny with light scratches.
Q: What is included with this bag? A: The listing notes the serial number as the included product information. No authenticity card, box or dust bag is listed, so those should not be assumed to be included.
Q: How should I care for this Chanel bag? A: Handle the leather gently, avoid prolonged sunlight, humidity and rough friction, and avoid harsh care products that could alter the finish. Store the bag upright, lightly stuffed, and keep the chain protected so it does not press into the leather during storage.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully vetted by in-house experts using detailed checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and serial details, so you can shop pre-owned Chanel with confidence.
