Show more product information
Q: What are the dimensions and what does it fit? A: The Maxi Single Flap measures approximately 33 × 23 × 10 cm. It comfortably fits an A4 notebook or documents, a large tablet (up to around 12.9 in), a long wallet, phone, sunglasses, and daily essentials. A very slim 13 in laptop may slide in but we do not recommend regular use with a laptop to avoid strain on the flap and chain—please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact sizing.
Q: Can I wear it crossbody? A: Yes. The interlaced chain-and-leather strap can be worn doubled on the shoulder (approx. 32 cm drop) or as a single strap for a longer drop of about 60 cm. On most heights, the Maxi sits relatively high when worn crossbody; please check the Measurements to see if the drop suits your frame.
Q: How does the Maxi Single Flap feel to carry day‑to‑day? A: The Maxi has presence due to its size and chain. The single‑flap construction keeps it lighter and a touch roomier than a double flap of the same size. For comfort and to preserve the shape, avoid overloading the bag and rotate heavier items as needed.
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 are the dimensions and what does it fit? A: The Maxi Single Flap measures approximately 33 × 23 × 10 cm.

A very slim 13 in laptop may slide in but we do not recommend regular use with a laptop to avoid strain on the flap and chain—please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact sizing.
Q: Can I wear it crossbody? A: Yes. The interlaced chain-and-leather strap can be worn doubled on the shoulder (approx. 32 cm drop) or as a single strap for a longer drop of about 60 cm. On most heights, the Maxi sits relatively high when worn crossbody; please check the Measurements to see if the drop suits your frame.
Q: Is this a single or double flap, and what is the difference? A: This is a single flap, meaning there is one main flap and an open interior beneath it. Single flaps tend to feel a little lighter and roomier, while double flaps add an extra interior flap for structure and security. Chanel no longer produces the Classic Maxi in a single‑flap construction; single‑flap versions are available only on the pre‑owned market.
Q: What material is it and how should I care for it? A: It is black quilted lambskin leather with gold‑tone hardware and a burgundy leather lining. For lambskin, wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth, avoid products that could alter the finish, keep away from prolonged light, heat and humidity, and store upright in a breathable pouch with the chain wrapped to prevent imprints. Light surface marks on lambskin can sometimes be reduced by very gently rubbing in small circles with a clean, dry cloth.
Q: Is the chain adjustable? A: The chain is not adjustable in fixed steps, but it can be worn in two ways: doubled on the shoulder or extended as a single strap. We do not recommend permanent alterations or hardware add‑ons that could mark the leather or affect long‑term value.
Q: What comes with this item? A: Everything included is listed in the product information section on this page. For this piece, a serial number tag is included; if items such as a dust bag, box, or authenticity card are not listed there, they are not included.
Q: The serial number is illegible—does that affect authenticity? A: Not necessarily. Serial stickers and tags can fade or wear over time on vintage pieces. Every item at A Retro Tale is authenticated by our in‑house experts using a multi‑point inspection of leather, stitching, quilting, hardware, and logo stamps, and we stand behind the authenticity of every item we sell.
Q: How does the Maxi Single Flap feel to carry day‑to‑day? A: The Maxi has presence due to its size and chain. The single‑flap construction keeps it lighter and a touch roomier than a double flap of the same size. For comfort and to preserve the shape, avoid overloading the bag and rotate heavier items as needed.
Q: How can I store it to maintain its shape and finish? A: Store it upright in a breathable pouch, loosely filled to support the quilting, with the chain wrapped to prevent marks. Keep it away from prolonged sunlight and humidity, and avoid hanging it by the chain for extended periods.
