Very Good Condition
This vintage Chanel Classic Medium Double Flap Bag in black quilted leather with gold-tone hardware is presented in very good condition. Finished with a leather-threaded chain strap, burgundy leather lining and the iconic CC turn-lock closure, it is a timeless choice for lunch dates, city outings or evening events.
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 Classic Medium Double Flap Bag? A: With measurements of approximately 26 × 16 × 6 cm, this medium size generally fits a phone, a compact wallet or card holder, keys, lipstick, and a few slim daily essentials. Because of the structured shape and double-flap interior, it is elegant rather than spacious, so bulkier items may be a tight fit. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: Can this bag be worn on the shoulder and crossbody? A: Yes, the leather-threaded chain can be worn doubled for a shorter shoulder drop or single for a longer shoulder drop. On this item, the strap drop is approximately 24/44 cm. Most people find the medium classic flap best suited to shoulder wear; crossbody wear is possible for some frames but usually sits quite high on the body.
Q: What does double flap mean? A: A double flap design has the outer front flap plus a second interior flap underneath. Buyers often like it because it adds structure, security, and helps the bag keep its iconic shape. The trade-off is that it slightly reduces usable interior space compared with a single-flap bag.
Q: Is this considered a vintage Chanel bag? A: Yes. This piece is listed as vintage, and the serial number 13983480 is consistent with Chanel’s 13-series production, which is generally associated with around 2009–2010. It is also marked as made in France.
Q: What is the difference between the Chanel Classic Flap and the Chanel 2.55? A: The Classic Flap is known for its interlocking CC turn-lock and leather-threaded chain strap. The 2.55 is the earlier Chanel design and is recognised by its Mademoiselle lock and all-metal chain. This bag is the Classic Flap style.
Q: What condition is this bag in? A: The overall condition is listed as Very Good. The exterior shows scuffing on the corners, the interior has light traces of use and some marks, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. These are typical signs of careful wear on a vintage Chanel bag.
Q: What is included with this item? A: The product information lists the serial number. No authenticity card, box, or other extras are listed for this item, so only what appears in the product information should be considered included unless confirmed otherwise.
Q: Is the medium size a good everyday option? A: Yes, the medium classic flap is widely considered one of Chanel’s most versatile sizes because it works well from day to evening and feels polished without being oversized. That said, it is best for edited daily essentials rather than carrying everything with you.
Q: How should I care for this vintage Chanel bag? A: To help preserve the leather and structure, avoid overfilling it, keep it away from prolonged sunlight and moisture, and wipe it gently with a soft cloth. Store it upright, lightly stuffed, and with the chain tucked in to help protect the leather. As with most vintage leather bags, gentle handling will help maintain its finish and shape over time.
