Elevate garden parties, weddings or chic city lunches with this vintage Chanel Classic Medium Double Flap in pink quilted leather. Its silver-tone accents and interwoven chain shoulder strap bring polished femininity, while the double-flap interior and back slip pocket keep essentials neatly to hand. A charming pop of colour that moves seamlessly from afternoon events to elegant evenings.
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 measurements and what typically fits inside? A: The Medium Classic Double Flap is approximately 24 × 16 × 7 cm. It comfortably carries a large smartphone, compact wallet or cardholder, keys, lipstick, and small extras like hand sanitiser or a slim sunglasses sleeve. Capacity is structured by the double-flap interior, so bulkier items (water bottle, umbrella) are not recommended. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: Will a large smartphone fit (e.g., iPhone Pro Max)? A: Yes. Most large smartphones fit easily. For best use, place the phone horizontally or along the back compartment to maintain the bag’s shape. A very thick case may reduce space for other items.
Q: Can I wear it crossbody? A: The interwoven chain can be worn doubled for a short shoulder carry (approx. 25 cm drop) or lengthened for a longer shoulder carry (approx. 45 cm drop). On smaller frames, the longer setting can work as a high crossbody; on taller builds it typically sits higher on the torso.
Q: Why does the Classic Flap have a double flap? A: The inner flap enhances structure, security, and shape retention over time. It helps the bag keep its elegant profile, though it does slightly reduce interior capacity compared to single-flap versions.
Q: What leather is this and how does it wear? A: This piece is pink quilted lambskin with silver-tone hardware. Lambskin is renowned for its soft, luxurious hand and a refined, dressy look. It is more delicate than grained calfskin (caviar), so it benefits from mindful use to minimise scuffs and colour transfer.
Q: How should I care for pink lambskin? A: Keep it away from rain and humidity; avoid rubbing against dark denim or saturated fabrics to reduce colour transfer; wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after wear; store lightly stuffed in a breathable dust bag with the chain tucked to prevent imprints; and avoid harsh cleaners or frequent conditioning—seek a professional leather care service for deeper cleaning.
Q: Is “Made in Italy” authentic for a Chanel Classic Flap? A: Yes. Chanel produces Classic Flaps in both France and Italy. Authenticity is not determined by the country stamp; this example bears an Italy stamp and that is entirely correct for the model and era.
Q: What does the serial number 12856673 indicate? A: An 8-digit Chanel serial beginning with 12 typically dates to circa 2008–2009. Serial numbers help estimate production period but are not sole proof of authenticity and should be considered alongside materials, stitching, stamps, and hardware details.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information section. For this piece, the product information notes a serial number tag. If an item such as a dust bag or authenticity card is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks across leather, quilting, stitching, hardware, brand stamps, and serial details. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to provide additional photos or information on request.
