Q: What typically fits inside this Chanel Classic Patent Medium Double Flap Bag? A: With measurements of 25 x 15 x 6 cm, it is best suited to day-to-evening essentials such as a phone, a card holder or compact wallet, keys, lipstick, and slim sunglasses. The double flap structure adds elegance and security, but it also means the interior feels slightly more compact than the outer dimensions suggest.
Q: Can this bag be worn crossbody? A: This bag has a listed strap drop of 23/42 cm. It is primarily suited to shoulder wear, either doubled for a shorter carry or worn longer with the chain extended. Depending on height and frame, some may find the longer drop workable, but for most it is not a true crossbody fit.
Q: What is the benefit of the Double Flap design? A: The Double Flap design includes a second interior flap, which helps the bag hold its structured shape and adds an extra layer between your belongings and the outer closure. It is one of the signature features of the classic Chanel silhouette, although it does slightly reduce usable space compared with a single-flap style.
Q: Is patent leather durable and easy to care for? A: Patent leather has a glossy finish that looks striking and can handle light surface moisture better than some untreated leathers, but it still needs careful handling. It can pick up marks, develop scratches, or suffer colour transfer if stored against dark fabrics or exposed to heat and strong sunlight for long periods.
Q: How should I care for this patent leather bag? A: Wipe it gently with a soft, dry or lightly damp cloth, avoid harsh cleaners, and keep it away from prolonged humidity, heat, perfume, and makeup. When not in use, store it upright in its pouch or dust bag, lightly stuffed with tissue to help maintain its shape, and keep the chain wrapped or tucked in so it does not mark the leather.
Q: What condition is this bag in? A: According to the product information, the overall condition is Very Good. The exterior shows light traces of use, the interior has light traces of use with minor marks, and the gold-tone hardware remains shiny with light scratches.
Q: What is included with this item? A: The product information lists the serial number as included. No authenticity card, box, or dust bag is listed, so any unlisted extras should be assumed not to be included unless confirmed separately.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully reviewed for authenticity using details such as materials, construction, hardware, stamps, and serial features. We stand behind the authenticity of the items we sell and are happy to answer product-specific questions before purchase.
Q: Is the Medium Classic Flap a good everyday size? A: Yes. The medium size is widely considered one of the most versatile Chanel flap sizes because it transitions well from daytime to evening. It works best if you carry a compact set of essentials rather than larger daily items.
