Chanel Lambskin Jumbo Vertical Quilt Jumbo Single Flap Bag
This vintage Chanel Jumbo Single Flap in black vertical quilted lambskin with gold-tone hardware is in good condition with light signs of use. Ideal for a formal dinner or a day at the office, its leather-and-chain strap and CC turn-lock bring effortless sophistication to any ensemble.
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 Jumbo Vertical Quilt Single Flap? A: With approximate dimensions of 30 x 22 x 7 cm, it comfortably carries daily essentials: a large smartphone (including most Pro/Max models), a continental wallet, keys, lipstick, slim sunglasses in a soft sleeve, and a small cosmetics pouch. An A5 diary/notebook usually fits, and an iPad mini can fit; larger tablets (e.g., 11-inch iPad Pro) generally do not. A very slim 500 ml bottle may fit horizontally but can press on the flap—avoid overfilling to preserve the shape. Please refer to the Measurements shown or ask us for a tailored fit check for this exact piece.
Q: Is the chain strap adjustable? Can I wear it crossbody? A: The leather‑and‑chain interwoven strap is not adjustable. It can be worn doubled for shoulder carry or extended as a single chain for shoulder or high crossbody wear. For this piece, we note an approximate drop of 28 cm when doubled and 51 cm when worn long (see Measurements). Crossbody wear typically sits high on most frames.
Q: How does the Single Flap differ from the Classic Double Flap? A: The Single Flap has one main flap and a more open interior, making it lighter and roomier than the Double Flap. You won’t find the inner secondary flap or the zip pocket on the inside of the outer flap that characterise the Double Flap. Day‑to‑day capacity is therefore a bit greater on the Single Flap, while the Double Flap offers extra internal structure and compartments.
Q: How secure is the closure and what pockets does it have? A: It features a CC turn‑lock for reliable day‑to‑day security. This vintage configuration typically includes a main compartment with interior pockets and an exterior back slip pocket. Our listing notes burgundy leather lining with internal pockets and one external slip pocket—please review our photos for the exact layout of this piece.
Q: What are the materials and hardware on this bag? A: This bag is crafted in black lambskin leather with vertical quilting and gold‑tone hardware. Many mid‑1990s Chanel pieces were produced with 24K gold‑plated hardware; finishes can vary by era and release, and our listing/photos show the exact hardware on this item.
Q: How should I care for lambskin and the hardware? A: Keep lambskin away from moisture, oils and prolonged sunlight, and be mindful of potential colour transfer from dark denim. Wipe with a soft, dry cloth; condition smooth leather very sparingly with a neutral product, testing first on a discreet area. Store the bag lightly stuffed, upright, in a breathable dust bag. Avoid overfilling to protect the flap and quilting. Hardware can develop hairline scratches with normal use—avoid abrasive surfaces and store with protective felt where metal may touch leather.
Q: Will the chain leave marks on the leather? How should I store it? A: Chain imprints can occur if the strap rests against the leather, especially on soft lambskin. To minimise marks, tuck the chain inside the bag with a soft felt/cloth barrier, avoid overstuffing, and store upright with light padding to maintain the shape and quilting definition.
Q: Where are the brand markings and codes located, and how is dating handled? A: Authentic Chanel bags include interior stamps (e.g., “CHANEL” and country of origin). Vintage models feature a hologram serial sticker inside; this piece shows a 3‑series code (3913028), which typically dates to circa 1994–1996. Placement and format vary by era—we’re happy to share close‑up photos and help interpret the code for you.
Q: What accessories are included and how do you authenticate? A: Included items are listed under “Accessories.” For this bag, we note a serial number tag. If an accessory isn’t mentioned there, it isn’t included—feel free to ask us to confirm. Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous, multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts, assessing materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, serial sticker and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of every piece we sell.
Q: Where is this specific piece made? A: This bag is stamped Made in France, as shown in our listing and photos. If you’d like additional close‑ups of the origin stamp, just let us know.
