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 fits inside the Chanel Cable Knit Single Flap Bag? A: With measurements of approximately 26 x 17 x 5 cm, it is best suited to daily essentials such as a phone, keys, a cardholder or slim wallet, sunglasses without a bulky case, and a few small cosmetics. Its slim profile makes it more of a day-to-evening shoulder bag than a carry-all.
Q: Can this bag be worn crossbody? A: Probably not for most people. This piece has a single interwoven chain strap with an adjustable drop listed at approximately 24 cm, so it is primarily a shoulder bag. Fit will vary depending on height and styling preference.
Q: What is the benefit of a single flap design? A: Single flap Chanel bags are often favoured for easier access and a roomier feel than double flap styles because there is one less interior layer. They also tend to feel lighter in use, while double flap bags are often preferred for added structure.
Q: When was this bag likely made? A: The serial number listed for this bag is 9052760. Chanel 9-series serial stickers are generally associated with the 2004 to 2005 production window, placing this piece in the vintage era.
Q: How should I care for the cable knit exterior? A: Treat it as a delicate textile bag. Avoid rain, humidity, perfume, oils and rough surfaces, and be especially careful around jewellery, dark denim and abrasive fabrics that can snag or transfer colour. For routine upkeep, use a soft dry cloth or a very gentle textile brush, and consider professional cleaning for marks.
Q: Is white a high-maintenance colour? A: Yes. White bags tend to show stains, yellowing and colour transfer more easily than darker shades, so they are best worn with care and stored away from dark fabrics and direct light when not in use.
Q: What condition should I expect from this specific bag? A: It is listed in good condition overall. Noted wear includes discolouration around the closure, fraying on the strap, stains on the exterior, red stains on the interior, and light scratches to the hardware. Please review the product images carefully for the most accurate impression.
Q: What product information is included with this item? A: The listing notes the serial number as included product information. No authenticity card, box or dust bag is mentioned, so those should not be assumed to be included unless confirmed separately.
Q: Does this bag have a turn-lock closure? A: No. This specific bag is described with a magnetic flap closure, which gives it a cleaner front and quick access compared with Chanel flap styles that use a turn-lock.
Q: How is authenticity checked on a vintage Chanel bag like this? A: Authentication should never rely on the serial sticker alone. A proper review also considers materials, stitching, hardware, construction details and overall consistency for the era. At A Retro Tale, every item is vetted by in-house experts before sale.
