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 Medium Calf Double Flap Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 26.5 x 15 x 8 cm, this medium size is best for daily essentials such as a phone, cardholder or slim wallet, keys, sunglasses, lipstick and a few small extras. Because it is a double flap design, the interior is more structured, so bulky items will reduce the usable space.
Q: Can this bag be worn crossbody? A: This bag has an approximate strap drop of 27 cm, so it is generally best suited to shoulder wear rather than crossbody wear on most people. The sliding chain also allows for a shorter doubled-strap carry option.
Q: What is the difference between a Chanel double flap and a single flap? A: A double flap has an additional inner flap inside the main front flap, which gives the bag more structure and added security. It is the classic construction most collectors associate with the Medium Classic Flap, while older single flap versions are lighter and slightly roomier inside.
Q: Is calfskin a practical leather for this style? A: Yes, calfskin offers a refined, smooth look and a structured feel that suits the Classic Flap beautifully. It does, however, tend to show surface marks more easily than heavily grained calfskin, so gentle use and careful storage are recommended.
Q: What condition is this bag in? A: This bag is rated in good condition. The exterior shows visible scuffing and discolouration on the corners and edges, along with a pen mark on the leather. The interior has light traces of use, and the ruthenium hardware remains shiny with light scratches.
Q: What does the serial number 20775187 tell me? A: Chanel serial stickers were used to help date and identify bags made before the switch to newer microchip systems. An 8-digit serial beginning with 20 generally places this bag in an approximate 2014 to 2015 production window. As always, the serial number is one useful indicator, but authentication should be considered together with materials, construction and hardware details.
Q: What is included with this bag? A: The listed included item is the serial number sticker. No authenticity card, box or dust bag is mentioned in the product information, so those should not be assumed to be included unless confirmed separately.
Q: How should I care for and store this bag? A: Store it upright in a pouch or dust bag, avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight, humidity and heat, and keep the chain wrapped so it does not mark the leather. For routine care, use a soft dry cloth and avoid harsh cleaning products or overfilling the bag, as that can affect its shape over time.
Q: How is this bag authenticated? A: Every item sold by A Retro Tale is authenticated by in-house experts, and the company also works with an international network of specialists during sourcing. For a Chanel piece like this, authentication involves reviewing details such as leather, stitching, hardware, serial number format and overall construction.
