Q: What fits inside this Chanel Medium Caviar Diana Flap Bag? A: With approximate dimensions of 25 x 16 x 7 cm, this medium size is well suited to daily essentials such as a phone, card holder or compact wallet, keys, sunglasses, lipstick and a few small personal items. It is best for essentials rather than bulkier items, so a tablet or large purse is unlikely to fit comfortably.
Q: Can this bag be worn on the shoulder or crossbody? A: This piece has a shoulder strap drop of approximately 49 cm. For most people, that makes it best suited to shoulder wear. Depending on height and styling preference it may sit too short to wear comfortably crossbody.
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: Can this bag be worn on the shoulder or crossbody? A: This piece has a shoulder strap drop of approximately 49 cm. For most people, that makes it best suited to shoulder wear. Depending on height and styling preference it may sit too short to wear comfortably crossbody.
Q: Is caviar leather a good choice for everyday use? A: Yes. Caviar leather is especially popular because of its textured finish and structured feel. It is generally considered more resistant to visible scratching and everyday wear than smoother leathers, which makes it a practical choice for regular use while still keeping a classic Chanel look.
Q: What makes the Diana Flap so sought after? A: The Diana Flap is one of Chanel’s most collectible vintage silhouettes. Collectors especially appreciate its elegant curved flap, leather-trimmed border, classic CC turn-lock and refined proportions. Caviar versions are particularly desirable because they combine the Diana design with a more durable leather finish.
Q: What year is this bag from? A: According to the serial number tag, this bag dates to 1997–1999. As with many vintage Chanel pieces, the serial range helps place the item within a specific production period.
Q: What condition is this bag in? A: This bag is rated Very Good Condition. The exterior and interior both show light traces of use, and the hardware is described as shiny with light scratches. As a vintage item, this means it has been well kept while still showing gentle signs of previous wear.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This bag comes with product information including a box and serial number tag. If anything else is not listed in the product information, it should not be assumed to be included.
Q: How should I care for vintage caviar leather? A: To help preserve the leather, wipe it gently with a soft dry or slightly damp cloth, avoid overfilling the bag, and keep it away from prolonged heat, direct sunlight and moisture. When not in use, store it carefully with light stuffing inside to help maintain its shape.
Q: How do I know this Chanel bag is authentic? A: A Retro Tale specialises in authenticated vintage luxury items, and this piece is sold with a serial number tag. When assessing vintage Chanel, buyers typically look for consistent craftsmanship, quality leather, accurate hardware details, correct stamps and an appropriate serial range, all of which are part of professional authentication checks.
Q: Where was this bag made? A: This Chanel Diana Flap Bag is made in France, which is stated in the product information.
