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 this Rock & Chain Accordion Flap Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 37 × 26 × 17 cm, it comfortably holds an A4 notebook or tablet, a 13-inch laptop in a slim sleeve, a long wallet, phone, keys, and small cosmetics. The accordion sides allow some expansion for everyday items, but we recommend not overloading to help the bag retain its shape over time.
Q: Which collection/era is the Rock & Chain line from? A: The Rock & Chain style appeared in the late 2000s. Your bag’s 11-series serial number (11488920) indicates a production window around 2006–2008, aligning with pieces attributed to the 2007–2008 seasons.
Q: How can this bag be worn and what is the strap drop? A: It features double chain-and-leather shoulder straps with an approximate drop of 23 cm. This is best suited to shoulder carry (single or doubled) rather than crossbody for most heights.
Q: Is the magnetic snap closure secure, and will the magnet affect my cards or devices? A: The fold-over top with magnetic snap provides quick, reasonably secure access for daily use. Magnets in handbag closures are generally not strong enough to harm modern EMV chip cards; however, prolonged direct contact can sometimes affect old-style magnetic stripes. We suggest storing cards and electronics in the interior pocket away from the closure as a precaution.
Q: What leather is this and how should I care for it? A: This example is crafted from dark green crinkled, quilted leather with gold-tone hardware. Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after wear; avoid moisture, oils, cosmetics and prolonged sunlight/heat. Store upright, lightly stuffed, with straps tucked inside to prevent impressions. Do not overload, as this style is designed to slouch and can crease if heavily packed.
Q: How do I clean the beige satin lining? A: Empty the bag, shake out debris and use a clean lint roller for dust. For small spots on satin, dab (don’t rub) with a barely damp cloth and a drop of mild soap, then air dry. Avoid soaking or harsh chemicals. For stubborn marks, consider a professional bag spa experienced with Chanel linings.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: This piece comes with its serial number tag. Items such as an authenticity card, dust bag or box are not included unless explicitly listed under Accessories.
Q: Where was this bag made? A: This bag is stamped Made in France, consistent with the Country of Origin shown on this page.
Q: What does the serial number tell me about authenticity and dating? A: Chanel serial numbers help indicate the production period; an 11-series code corresponds to approximately 2006–2008. While helpful for dating, the code alone does not guarantee authenticity; construction, materials and stamps are also evaluated.
Q: What should I know about the condition and any vintage odour? A: This bag is in very good overall vintage condition with noted edge wear and some tattering at the base; the interior shows marks and there is a light vintage smell. Airing the bag in a cool, dry place and placing an odour-absorbing sachet (such as activated charcoal or baking soda sealed in a pouch) inside for a day or two can help. Avoid spraying perfume or cleaners directly onto the leather or lining.
