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 the Chanel East West Medium Chevron Single Flap Bag? A: With measurements of approximately 25 x 13 x 5 cm, it is best suited to day-to-evening essentials such as a phone, card holder or slim wallet, keys, lipstick and a few small items. Its long, slim shape means bulkier purses, hard sunglasses cases or larger cosmetics may be a tight fit.
Q: Can this bag be worn crossbody? A: For most people, no. The listed strap measurement is 22/62 cm, so it is generally best worn on the shoulder or as a longer under-arm style rather than as a true crossbody bag.
Q: What does single flap mean? A: A single flap bag has one main flap rather than the double interior flap found on classic double-flap Chanel styles. Many collectors appreciate single flap bags because they are lighter, easier to access and still offer the signature CC turn-lock look.
Q: Is the East West style discontinued? A: Yes. The Chanel East West flap is a discontinued style, which is part of what makes it appealing on the vintage market. It offers the classic flap look in a longer, slimmer silhouette that collectors continue to seek out.
Q: What does the serial number 13483907 tell me? A: This serial number falls within Chanel’s 13-series range, which generally places production around 2009 to 2010. As with all vintage Chanel pieces, the serial number helps date the bag, but it is only one part of the overall authentication picture.
Q: How should I care for pink patent leather? A: Patent leather should be handled gently. Wipe it with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth, avoid harsh cleaners, and keep it away from prolonged sunlight, heat and moisture. For storage, keep the bag upright in its dust bag, lightly stuffed, with the chain protected so it does not press against the leather.
Q: Is colour transfer a concern with patent leather? A: Yes, especially on lighter shades such as pink. Dark denim, strongly dyed fabrics and prolonged friction against other materials can leave marks on the glossy finish, so it is best to avoid contact with dark clothing and to store the bag away from darker items.
Q: What is included with this bag? A: According to the product information, this item includes the serial number tag and a dust bag. If something is not listed in the product information, it should not be assumed to be included.
Q: What does the condition mean? A: This bag is rated Very Good. The exterior and interior both show light traces of use, and the silver-tone hardware remains shiny with light scratches. In practical terms, it presents very well while still showing gentle signs of previous wear.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every Chanel item at A Retro Tale is reviewed through a multi-point authentication process that considers materials, construction, hardware, stamps and serial details. We only sell pieces we believe to be authentic, and we are always happy to provide more product information on request.
