In good vintage condition, it is ideal for lunch dates, dinners, or evenings out, adding distinctive Chanel character to both tailored and casual looks.
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 Chevron Braided Trim Flap Bag? A: With approximate dimensions of 23 x 18 x 8 cm, it is best suited to daily essentials such as a phone, cardholder or small wallet, keys, lipstick, and sunglasses. It is a compact flap bag rather than a large day bag, so bulkier items like a tablet, water bottle, or long continental wallet may be a tight fit.
Q: Can this bag be worn crossbody? A: This style is primarily a shoulder bag. The listed strap drop is 18/34 cm, which usually allows a shorter and a longer shoulder carry, but for most people it will sit too high to be a true hands-free crossbody fit.
Q: Is chevron quilting considered a classic Chanel look? A: Yes. While diamond quilting is the most traditional Chanel pattern, chevron quilting has been part of Chanel’s flap-bag design language for years and is especially loved for its slightly more directional, modern look. It still feels unmistakably Chanel, just a little less conventional than the classic diamond quilt.
Q: What makes this bag distinctive? A: This piece stands out for its black chevron quilted leather, contrasting red braided trim, gold-tone hardware, red leather lining, and CC turn-lock flap closure. The colour contrast gives it a more striking look than an all-black flap bag while still remaining versatile.
Q: What condition should I expect from this vintage bag? A: This item is listed in good vintage condition. The exterior shows visible scratches, rubbing to the corners, deep scratches, and peeling on the leather. The interior has scratches, and the hardware remains shiny with light surface scratches. It is best suited to someone who appreciates character and natural age-related wear rather than a pristine finish.
Q: Is this bag suitable for everyday use? A: It can absolutely be used regularly for essentials, but because it is a vintage leather bag with visible wear, it is best treated with care rather than used as a heavy everyday carry-all. Rotating it with other bags and avoiding overfilling will help preserve its shape and finish.
Q: How should I care for this Chanel bag? A: Store it upright, lightly stuffed, and away from direct sunlight, moisture, and heat. Use a soft cloth for gentle surface cleaning, avoid harsh leather products, and keep the chain or strap from pressing into the leather during storage. As this bag already shows scratching and peeling, extra care should be taken to minimise friction on corners and edges.
Q: Does this item come with any original extras? A: No extra items are listed with this piece. If an authenticity card, box, dust bag, or similar item is not mentioned in the product information, it should be assumed not to be included with this specific bag.
Q: How is authenticity checked for a pre-owned Chanel bag like this? A: At A Retro Tale, items are vetted by in-house experts. For Chanel, authenticity is assessed through a combination of details such as leather quality, stitching consistency, hardware, construction, stamps, and overall finish. Any original card or interior code can be helpful when present, but the bag itself is always the most important part of the authentication process.
Q: Where was this bag made? A: The product information states France as the country of origin label, which aligns well with many sought-after vintage Chanel pieces.
