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 typically fits inside this Chanel Classic Medium Square Double Flap Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 25.5 x 19 x 6.5 cm, it will usually fit daily essentials such as a phone, cardholder or compact wallet, keys, lipstick, and sunglasses in a slim case. Because this is a double-flap design, the interior feels a little more structured and slightly less spacious than a single-flap bag of similar width, so bulkier items are not ideal.
Q: Can this bag be worn on the shoulder or crossbody? A: This bag is best suited to shoulder wear. The listed strap measurements are approximately 25 cm doubled and 45 cm single, so it can be carried as a shorter shoulder bag or with a longer shoulder drop. On most people, the longer setting will still sit quite short for true crossbody wear.
Q: What does double flap mean? A: A double-flap Chanel has the main outer flap plus a second inner flap underneath. Buyers often like this design because it gives the bag extra structure and a very classic vintage Chanel feel. The trade-off is that it slightly reduces usable space and takes an extra step to open.
Q: Is lambskin a delicate leather? A: Yes. Lambskin is prized for its soft, supple feel and elegant finish, but it is more prone to scratches, creasing and corner wear than grained leathers. For this specific bag, the condition notes already mention visible wear on the corners, creased leather, light traces of use inside, and light scratches to the hardware.
Q: How should I care for a vintage lambskin Chanel bag? A: Handle it gently and avoid overfilling, prolonged sunlight, humidity and friction against delicate or strongly dyed fabrics. If it gets wet, dab it carefully with a soft, absorbent cloth. For storage, keep it upright, lightly stuffed, and wrap the chain to help protect the leather and preserve the shape.
Q: When was this bag likely made? A: The serial number listed for this piece is 1388994. Chanel 7-digit serial numbers beginning with 1 are generally associated with production around 1989 to 1991. As with all vintage Chanel pieces, the serial number is a useful dating clue, but it should be considered together with the bag’s overall construction and details.
Q: What is included with this item? A: The product information lists a serial number for this bag. An authenticity card, box and dust bag are not listed, so they should not be assumed to be included unless confirmed separately.
Q: Is this a practical size for both day and evening use? A: Yes. Bags in the vintage 25 cm medium double-flap category are widely favoured because they strike a good balance between elegance and function. They generally hold more than a 23 cm small flap while still looking refined enough for evening wear.
