ChanelCC Half Moon Flap Bag

Q: What are the dimensions of this Chanel CC Half Moon Flap Bag?
A: This vintage bag measures approximately 23 cm wide, 16 cm high and 7 cm deep. These measurements apply to this specific piece, as other Half Moon versions may differ.

Q: What can I fit inside this bag?
A: Its compact size makes it suitable for small essentials such as a cardholder, keys and lipstick. Whether your phone fits will depend on its dimensions and case, as exterior measurements do not guarantee usable internal space. The tonal leather-lined interior has two pockets for organising smaller items. Avoid overfilling the bag to help preserve its shape.

Q: Can I wear this bag crossbody?
A: The bag has a chain-link and leather shoulder strap with a listed drop of 53 cm. It may suit crossbody wear depending on your height, build and preferred position, but a comfortable fit cannot be guaranteed from the strap drop alone. Contact A Retro Tale if crossbody suitability is important to you.

Q: What material is the bag made from, and where was it made?
A: This bag is made from white quilted lambskin leather, with tonal leather lining, gold-tone hardware and a CC turn-lock flap closure. It was made in France. The hardware is described as gold-tone; a specific gold content or plating is not confirmed in the product information.

Q: How old is this vintage Chanel bag?
A: The product information dates this piece to 1989–1991 and records the partially concealed serial number 1******. This identifies a production period rather than an exact manufacturing year.

Q: What condition is this bag in?
A: It is rated Very Good Condition. The exterior has minor signs of wear on the corners, edges and leather chain strap. The interior is also rated Very Good, with minor marks. The hardware remains shiny, with light scratches and some tarnishing. Please review the photographs alongside these condition details.

Q: Does this bag come with an authenticity card, box or dust bag?
A: The product information lists a serial number tag. An authenticity card, box and dust bag are not listed, so their inclusion should not be assumed. Contact A Retro Tale for confirmation if any of these items are important to your purchase.

Q: How has this bag been authenticated?
A: A Retro Tale confirms that this bag's authenticity has been checked and verified by its experts, who have over 10 years of experience in vintage and luxury bags. The retailer guarantees authenticity and describes an expert review of stitching, handles and other details. The listed serial number tag is part of the product information, not a substitute for expert authentication.

Q: How can I help prevent colour transfer onto the white leather?
A: Chanel advises avoiding prolonged contact between light and dark colours to minimise colour bleeding onto leather or clothing. Be mindful of dark garments and surfaces that touch the white exterior, both when carrying the bag and when storing it.

Q: How should I care for and store this lambskin bag?
A: Use a soft cloth and avoid care products that could alter the finish. Keep the bag away from prolonged sunlight, artificial light and moisture. If it gets wet, carefully blot the affected area with an absorbent, non-pilling cloth. Store it upright in a suitable pouch, with tissue paper protecting the chain and strap from marking the leather. A storage pouch is not listed as included with this item.
