Delivery & Returns
Q: What size is this Chanel Chain Top Handle Flap Bag? A: This bag measures approximately 21 x 15 x 6 cm, with a top handle drop of about 11 cm. It is a compact small-sized vintage flap bag, ideal for day-to-evening use.
Q: What typically fits inside this bag? A: With its compact shape, it is best suited to essentials such as a phone, cardholder, keys, lipstick, and a few small personal items. It is not designed for bulkier belongings. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: Can this bag be worn on the shoulder or crossbody? A: This specific piece is described with a chain top handle and no strap length is listed in the product information. It is therefore best understood as a top-handle style rather than a shoulder or crossbody bag.
Q: Is this a vintage Chanel bag? A: Yes. This is a vintage Chanel piece, and the serial number range provided dates it to approximately 1996 to 1997.
Q: What material and details does this bag have? A: According to the product information, it is crafted in black quilted patent leather with silver-tone hardware, a black chain top handle, black leather lining, an internal zip pocket, and a flap top with CC turn-lock closure.
Q: What is the condition of this bag? A: The overall condition is rated Very Good. The exterior and interior both show light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with scratches consistent with gentle wear.
Q: What is included with the bag? A: The product information states that this item includes a serial number tag. If another accessory is not listed in the product information, it should not be assumed to be included.
Q: Does the bag have any interior pockets? A: Yes. The bag has a black leather-lined interior with an internal zip pocket for organising smaller essentials.
Q: How should patent leather be cared for? A: Patent leather should be handled with care. Wipe it gently with a soft, dry cloth, avoid abrasive products, and keep it away from prolonged heat, direct sunlight, and excess moisture. For storage, keep the bag upright, lightly stuffed, and separated from dark or colour-transfer-prone materials.
Q: How do you authenticate vintage Chanel bags? A: At A Retro Tale, every item is carefully vetted for authenticity by specialists who assess construction, materials, hardware, interior details, stamps, and serial elements. For vintage Chanel pieces, the serial number is one part of the process, but authentication is always based on the item as a whole.
