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 are the typical measurements and strap drop of the Medium Classic Double Flap? A: The Medium (often called Medium/Large) is typically around 25.5 × 16 × 7 cm. The chain can be worn single or doubled: roughly 42–44 cm as a single shoulder drop and about 23 cm when doubled. For this specific piece, please refer to the Measurements shown on this page (Handle 23 cm; Strap 42 cm).
Q: Can I wear the Medium Classic Flap crossbody? A: It can be worn crossbody on some frames, but it generally sits high because the strap drop is shorter than most crossbody bags. Many prefer it as a shoulder bag and reserve crossbody wear for the Mini sizes. Try the strap across your body to see where it lands on you.
Q: What typically fits inside the Medium? A: Daily essentials: a large smartphone, small wallet or cardholder, keys, lipstick, compact and sunglasses in a soft case. Bulky items (a water bottle, iPad, thick cases) won’t fit comfortably and may stress the double‑flap interior. Packing slim items keeps the structure neat.
Q: What is the purpose of the double flap? A: The inner flap adds structure and security. It helps the outer flap keep its shape, distributes weight so the front doesn’t crease, and provides an extra barrier to protect contents.
Q: Is lambskin durable enough for everyday use? A: Lambskin has a plush, smooth finish and shows scratches and corner wear more readily than caviar (pebbled calfskin). With mindful use—avoid rough surfaces and colour‑transfer from dark denim—and proper storage, lambskin wears well and ages beautifully.
Q: Is the hardware real 24‑karat gold? A: Chanel used 24k gold‑plated hardware on many bags up to around 2008. After that, hardware became gold‑tone rather than 24k plated. A 24‑series bag like this (2017–2018 production) has gold‑tone hardware, not 24k plating.
Q: How can I date this bag by its serial number? A: Chanel’s 8‑digit serial codes indicate production windows up to 2021. A 24xxxxxx serial corresponds to roughly late 2017 to early 2018. From 2021 onwards, Chanel introduced a microchipped metal plate instead of the serial sticker and card.
Q: Is the chain length adjustable? A: There are no buckles to adjust the length. You can wear the strap single or doubled, or temporarily shorten it by tucking part of the chain inside the bag. Avoid over‑shortening in ways that could press the chain into the leather.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything that comes with the bag is listed under the product information on this page. If an item (for example, a dust bag or card) isn’t listed there, it is not included.
Q: How should I store and care for it? A: Do not overfill. Store upright in a breathable dust bag with light stuffing to support the shape. Wrap or place the chain inside to prevent dents, keep away from prolonged light and humidity, and use a soft cloth for gentle buffing of minor lambskin marks. Seek professional care for deep cleaning or repairs.
