Very Good Condition
This vintage Chanel Classic Medium Double Flap Bag in black quilted leather with silver-tone hardware offers enduring sophistication. In very good condition, it features a leather-threaded chain strap, burgundy leather lining with interior pockets, and a turn-lock closure. Ideal for dinners, events, or polished daywear, it brings timeless Chanel style to any occasion.
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 size is this Chanel Classic Medium Double Flap Bag? A: This bag is the Medium size and measures approximately 26 x 17 x 7 cm. It is one of Chanel’s most versatile flap sizes, offering enough room for daily essentials while still keeping an elegant, structured look.
Q: What typically fits inside a Chanel Medium Double Flap? A: This size is usually ideal for a phone, a small wallet or card holder, keys, lipstick, a compact, and sunglasses in a slim case. It can also accommodate a passport and a few small extras, though the double-flap construction does reduce the usable interior space slightly compared with a single-flap style.
Q: Can this bag be worn crossbody? A: It is best suited to shoulder wear. The listed strap measurement is 25 cm and the chain can be styled in different ways, but for most people this size is not a true long crossbody fit.
Q: What does double flap mean on this Chanel bag? A: A double-flap design has both an outer flap and an additional inner flap. Buyers often choose it for the extra structure, added security, and classic Chanel look, although it does make the bag a little heavier and slightly less spacious inside.
Q: What does the serial number 12 series indicate? A: The serial number range 12****** corresponds to a production period of around 2008 to 2009. A serial sticker is helpful for dating the bag, but authenticity should always be assessed together with the materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, and overall construction.
Q: What condition is this vintage bag in? A: This piece is listed in Very Good condition. There is slight scuffing on the corners, light traces of use inside, and the hardware remains shiny with light surface scratches, which is consistent with careful vintage wear.
Q: What product information is included with this bag? A: According to the product information, this bag includes the box and serial number. If another item is not listed in the product information, it should not be assumed to be included.
Q: How should I care for vintage quilted leather? A: Store the bag loosely stuffed to help maintain its shape, keep it away from direct sunlight and heat, and avoid overfilling it. For routine care, gently wipe it with a soft, dry cloth and take extra care around the corners and flap edges to minimise further wear.
