Q: What typically fits inside the Chanel Classic Small Double Flap Bag? A: With measurements of approx. 23 x 15 x 7 cm, it is best for compact daily essentials such as a phone, card holder or small wallet, keys, lipstick and a few slim extras. Because this is a double flap design, the interior feels more structured and slightly less roomy than similarly sized single-flap styles.
Q: Will it fit a smartphone? A: In most cases, yes. A standard smartphone should fit, especially alongside a slim wallet and keys. Very large phones or bulky cases may feel snug, so we recommend comparing your device to the Measurements shown on this page.
Q: Can this bag be worn crossbody? A: This bag has an approx. 24 cm double-chain drop and 44 cm single-chain drop. It works beautifully on the shoulder, and some petite wearers may also wear it crossbody. On many people, however, the strap will sit quite high, so it is generally better suited to shoulder wear than a true low crossbody fit.
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: Can this bag be worn crossbody? A: This bag has an approx. 24 cm double-chain drop and 44 cm single-chain drop. It works beautifully on the shoulder, and some petite wearers may also wear it crossbody. On many people, however, the strap will sit quite high, so it is generally better suited to shoulder wear than a true low crossbody fit.
Q: What does double flap mean? A: A double flap has both the outer front flap and a second interior flap. Collectors love this construction for its classic structure, added security and iconic look, though it does reduce usable interior space slightly compared with single-flap styles.
Q: Is this bag vintage, and what does the serial number suggest? A: Yes. Chanel serial numbers beginning with 3 are generally associated with the mid-1990s, and this bag’s serial number 3961852 places it in the 3-series era, approximately 1994 to 1996. It is also labelled as made in France.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This item comes with a dust bag, authenticity card and serial number. Everything included with the sale is listed in the product information on this page.
Q: How should I check the authenticity of a vintage Chanel flap bag? A: The serial number and authenticity card are helpful supporting details, but they should not be the only checks. Buyers also look at the leather quality, quilting alignment, stitching, hardware finish, logo placement and overall construction when assessing a vintage Chanel piece.
Q: What is the condition of this particular bag? A: It is listed in good vintage condition. There is scuffing on the corners and base, light signs of use inside with some scratches and marks, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches and slight tarnishing.
Q: How should I care for this bag? A: Store it lightly stuffed in its dust bag, avoid overfilling it, and keep it away from prolonged moisture, direct heat, and strong sunlight. Wipe the leather and hardware gently with a soft dry cloth, and take care that the chain does not press into the leather during storage.
