Q: What fits inside this medium double flap bag?
A: The medium size is typically suitable for daily essentials such as a phone, card holder or slim wallet, keys, lipstick, and a few small personal items.

Crossbody fit depends on height and styling preference, but on most adults this model is generally best suited to shoulder wear rather than a long crossbody fit.

Q: What is a double flap bag?

Q: How should I care for a vintage Chanel jersey bag?
A: Jersey is generally more delicate than caviar or lambskin leather, so it should be handled with extra care.

Store it stuffed with tissue in a breathable dust bag and away from direct sunlight or heat to help preserve its shape and fabric.
