Chanel Suede Tassel Flap Bag

Q: What typically fits inside this Chanel Suede Tassel Flap Bag?
A: With approximate measurements of 20 x 15 x 6 cm, this is a compact small flap style that is best suited to essentials such as a phone, card holder, keys, lipstick, and a few small daily items. It is not intended for bulkier belongings such as a large continental wallet, tablet, or water bottle.

Q: Can this bag be worn crossbody?
A: The strap measurement is approximately 49 cm. For most wearers, this style is best suited to shoulder wear, while crossbody fit will depend on height and personal preference. We recommend comparing the strap measurement with a bag you already own for the best idea of fit.

Q: How should I care for the suede exterior?
A: Suede should be handled gently and kept away from rain, excessive humidity, oils, and rough surfaces. Use a soft suede brush very lightly to lift the nap, avoid overfilling the bag, and store it stuffed with tissue in a breathable dust bag away from direct sunlight. For deeper cleaning, specialist suede care is recommended.

Q: Is wear normal on a vintage suede Chanel bag?
A: Yes. On vintage suede, light rubbing, flattening of the nap, and minor surface marks are all normal signs of age and use. This piece is listed in Good Condition, with light trace of use externally and internally, and shiny hardware with light scratches.

Q: How can I tell the age of this bag?
A: The serial number tag begins with 0 and corresponds to the 1986 to 1988 production period, which is consistent with early Chanel serial numbering from that era. As with all vintage Chanel pieces, the serial number is only one part of authentication and should always be considered alongside materials, hardware, stitching, and overall construction.

Q: What is included with this item?
A: This bag includes the serial number tag. Everything included with the item is shown in the product information. If something is not listed there, it should be considered not included.

Q: Is suede a practical choice for regular use?
A: Suede can absolutely be worn regularly, but it is generally more delicate than grained or coated leathers. It is best for careful day-to-day use, occasion wear, and lighter carrying rather than heavy daily loading or wet-weather use.

Q: Where was this bag made?
A: According to the product data, this bag was made in Italy.
