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 Envelope Flap Bag? A: With measurements of approximately 21 x 16 x 8 cm, it is best for essentials such as a mobile phone, card holder or compact wallet, keys, lipstick and a few small daily items. It suits light day-to-evening use rather than bulkier belongings.
Q: Can this bag be worn on the shoulder or crossbody? A: This style has a single flat shoulder strap with an approximate handle drop of 14 cm. It is best worn on the shoulder or carried tucked under the arm, rather than as a crossbody style.
Q: What material is this bag made from? A: This piece is crafted in purple quilted satin with gold-tone hardware and a tonal lining, finished with a signature CC turn-lock closure.
Q: How should I care for a vintage satin Chanel bag? A: Satin is a delicate material, so it is best to avoid rain, moisture, heavy rubbing and prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Do not overfill the bag, and store it upright in a dust bag or soft pouch, lightly stuffed to help maintain its shape. For surface dust, use only a very soft dry cloth; for deeper marks, specialist cleaning is usually the safest option.
Q: What condition is this item in? A: The overall condition is Very Good. The exterior and interior both show light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches consistent with careful wear.
Q: Are any extra items included with this bag? A: No extra items are included with this piece. If a box, dust bag, authenticity card or other item is not listed in the product information, it should be considered not included.
Q: Does this bag have a serial number or authenticity card? A: No serial number or authenticity card is listed for this item. With vintage Chanel bags, stickers or cards can sometimes be lost over time, so their absence alone does not confirm or rule out authenticity. A Retro Tale carefully authenticates all items before sale using construction, materials, hardware and other identifying details.
Q: Where was this bag made? A: The country of origin label states France.
Q: Is this considered a vintage Chanel bag? A: Yes. This is sold as a vintage Chanel piece, which means some natural ageing and gentle signs of wear are expected and form part of its character.
