ChanelFlap Card Holder

Q: What typically fits inside this Chanel Flap Card Holder?
A: With its compact size (approx. 11 × 8 × 1.5 cm), it comfortably holds 6–10 cards, a small stack of folded banknotes and a few receipts. The exterior slip pocket is handy for a travel card or frequently used card. Some owners report fitting up to around 14 cards in similar flap card holders, but we recommend not overfilling to preserve the shape.

Q: Does it hold coins?
A: It is not designed for loose change. Coins can slip out under the flap and may imprint the leather. If you carry coins, a separate coin purse is recommended.

Q: How secure is the closure and is it safe for contactless/magnetic cards?
A: The flap closes with a press-stud under the CC logo. It is not a magnetic closure, so it will not demagnetise cards. As with all leather SLGs, avoid overstuffing so the snap keeps aligning cleanly over time.

Q: How is the interior laid out?
A: Inside you’ll find a gusseted main compartment with several card slots, plus the one exterior slip pocket for quick access. This layout gives more capacity than a flat card holder while keeping a slim profile.

Q: What is the production period for serial number 11117689?
A: The 8‑digit 11‑series serial number dates to approximately 2006–2008, consistent with a vintage Chanel small leather good from that era.

Q: What are the materials and hardware on this piece?
A: It features black quilted leather with silver‑tone hardware and a burgundy interior lining. The CC logo press-stud fastener is classic for this model variant.

Q: What is included with this item?
A: This piece comes with its serial number tag. Unless otherwise listed under Accessories on this page, an authenticity card, box or dust bag is not included.

Q: What is the condition of this card holder?
A: Very Good overall. There is a small stain on the front and light signs of use inside. Please review the photos for a close look at all details.

Q: How does the flap card holder compare to Chanel’s flat card holder?
A: The flap version has a gusseted interior and a snap closure, so it generally carries more than the flat style (which is typically best for around five cards). If you prefer extra capacity with a secure closure, the flap card holder is the better choice.

Q: How should I care for the leather and hardware?
A: Wipe with a soft, dry cloth after use, keep away from water, oils and hand sanitiser, and avoid prolonged contact with dark denim or dyed fabrics to prevent colour transfer. Do not overfill as this can stretch the leather and stress the snap. Store loosely stuffed with acid‑free tissue in a breathable dust bag, away from direct heat and sunlight.
