Q: What typically fits inside this bag? A: With approximate measurements of 31 × 22 × 8 cm, this bag should comfortably hold daily essentials such as a phone, long wallet, keys, sunglasses, and a small beauty pouch. Capacity can vary slightly depending on how bulky your items are, so we recommend comparing the Measurements on this page with what you usually carry.
Q: Can this bag be worn crossbody? A: This model is most naturally suited to shoulder wear. With an approximate strap drop of 28 cm and an adjustable chain, it may sit too short for a comfortable true crossbody fit on many people, so it is best thought of primarily as a shoulder bag.
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.

Delivery & Returns
Q: What does 2.55 Reissue mean? A: The name 2.55 refers to Chanel's original flap bag introduced in February 1955, while Reissue refers to the later revival of that original design. In practical terms, this means the bag has a more heritage-led, understated look than many newer flap styles.
Q: How is the 2.55 Reissue different from the Chanel Classic Flap? A: The Reissue is best known for its rectangular Mademoiselle turn-lock and all-metal chain strap, whereas the Classic Flap typically has the interlocking CC clasp and a leather-woven chain. The Reissue generally feels more subtle and vintage-inspired in overall style.
Q: What typically fits inside this bag? A: With approximate measurements of 31 × 22 × 8 cm, this bag should comfortably hold daily essentials such as a phone, long wallet, keys, sunglasses, and a small beauty pouch. Capacity can vary slightly depending on how bulky your items are, so we recommend comparing the Measurements on this page with what you usually carry.
Q: Can this bag be worn crossbody? A: This model is most naturally suited to shoulder wear. With an approximate strap drop of 28 cm and an adjustable chain, it may sit too short for a comfortable true crossbody fit on many people, so it is best thought of primarily as a shoulder bag.
Q: How should I care for beige suede? A: Beige suede is beautiful but needs gentler handling than smoother leathers. Keep it away from rain, rough surfaces, and dark fabrics that may transfer colour, avoid overfilling the bag, and store it in its dust bag when not in use. For routine upkeep, use a soft suede brush and seek a specialist suede cleaner for marks or deeper cleaning.
Q: What does the serial number 6****** indicate? A: A Chanel serial number beginning with 6 generally dates the bag to around 2000 to 2002. On vintage Chanel pieces, the serial sticker is one useful dating detail and should be considered alongside the bag's materials, construction, and hardware.
Q: What product information is included with this item? A: This item includes a dust bag and serial number. If something such as a box or authenticity card is not listed in the product information, it should not be assumed to be included.
Q: Is a beige suede Reissue a practical everyday bag? A: It can work well for careful everyday use, especially if you prefer a softer, more refined vintage look. However, suede and lighter shades tend to show wear, rubbing, and colour transfer more easily than darker or more durable finishes, so it is best suited to mindful regular use rather than heavy rough daily wear.
