Delivery & Returns
Q: What fits inside the Chanel Small Subtle Flap Bag? A: With measurements of approximately 22 x 15 x 4 cm, this bag is best for daily essentials. It should comfortably hold a phone, card holder or slim wallet, keys, lipstick and a few small extras. Because it is quite slim, bulkier items such as large purses, water bottles or sunglasses cases may be a tight fit.
Q: Can this bag be worn on the shoulder or crossbody? A: Yes. The woven chain and leather strap gives you styling flexibility, and the listed strap measurements of 30/53 cm suggest it works well on the shoulder and may sit as a shorter crossbody on some frames. Fit will vary depending on your height and preferred wearing position.
Q: What makes the Subtle Flap style distinctive? A: The Subtle Flap is loved for its understated take on Chanel’s flap-bag look. This piece combines black leather, chevron stitching, gold-tone hardware, a woven chain-and-leather strap and a flap closure, giving it a polished day-to-evening feel without being overly ornate.
Q: Will it fit a modern smartphone? A: In most cases, yes. A standard smartphone should fit alongside a few small essentials, but the slim 4 cm depth means space is better suited to light packing rather than carrying everything for the day.
Q: What does the serial number 24****** mean? A: Chanel serial numbers beginning with 24 generally date the bag to 2017-2018, which matches the details listed for this item. For Chanel bags from this period, the serial number is an important part of dating and identifying the piece.
Q: What is included with this bag? A: The product information lists the serial number for this item. If anything else such as a box, dust bag or authenticity card is not specifically mentioned in the product information, it should not be assumed to be included.
Q: What is the condition of this particular bag? A: It is listed in Very Good condition. The exterior shows minor wear on the corners and a few scratches, the interior has light traces of use and a few marks on the leather, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches.
Q: How should I care for this Chanel leather bag? A: Gently wipe it with a soft cloth, avoid harsh cleaning products, and keep it away from prolonged sunlight, moisture and humidity. If stored, keep it upright, lightly stuffed to help maintain its shape, and wrap the chain so it does not mark the leather. As with most Chanel leather bags, avoiding overfilling will also help preserve the structure.
Q: Is this a good everyday bag or more of an occasion style? A: It works best as a compact day-to-evening bag. It is practical enough for essentials during lunches, dinners, events or light daily use, while the classic black leather and gold-tone hardware make it easy to dress up.
