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 measurements and how does it wear? A: This Medium Classic Double Flap measures approximately 26 × 16 × 6.5 cm. The chain drop is about 42 cm when worn long and about 24 cm when doubled. It is primarily designed as a shoulder bag; on some petite frames it can be worn crossbody but will sit high.
Q: What typically fits inside the Medium Classic Double Flap? A: It comfortably carries a smartphone, compact wallet or card holder, keys, lipstick and compact, and sunglasses in a soft pouch. Because of the structured double flap, bulky items like a water bottle, tablet, or most continental long wallets will not fit. Packing with slim pouches helps maximise space and maintain shape.
Q: What is the purpose of the double flap? A: The inner flap adds structure and security, helping the bag keep its shape and protecting the interior. It does slightly reduce usable capacity compared with single‑flap designs.
Q: Is lambskin delicate? How should I care for white lambskin? A: Lambskin is soft and more delicate than caviar leather and can be prone to surface marks and colour transfer, especially in light colours like white. Avoid prolonged light, humidity, rain, and contact with dark denim or richly dyed fabrics. If needed, gently wipe with a soft, non‑pilling cloth and avoid harsh cleaners or oils. Store upright in its dust bag, loosely padded, with the chain wrapped to prevent imprints.
Q: Can the strap be adjusted? A: The strap length is not adjustable, but it is convertible. Wear it long on the shoulder (approx. 42 cm drop) or double the chain for a shorter shoulder carry (approx. 24 cm drop).
Q: Will a large phone fit? A: Yes, most modern smartphones fit comfortably when placed vertically. For best results, use a slim case and avoid overfilling the interior compartments.
Q: What does the serial number indicate for this piece? A: A 7‑digit serial number beginning with 5 points to late‑1990s production (approximately 1997–1999). Please note a serial number alone does not authenticate a bag; it is one of several indicators evaluated together.
Q: Is the hardware real gold‑plated on this model? A: Many Chanel bags made in the 1990s featured 24k gold‑plated hardware before the brand transitioned around 2008. Composition can vary by piece; this item is described as gold‑tone hardware with light surface scratches consistent with age.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Please refer to the product information on this page. For this piece, the product information lists a box, dust bag, and serial number tag.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is authenticated by our in‑house specialists using multi‑point checks of leather, quilting, stitching, stamps, hardware, serial details, and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide further photos or details on request.
