Q: What typically fits inside the Chanel Medium Happy Stitch Bag? A: With measurements of approximately 25 x 16 x 6 cm, this medium flap-style bag is best for daily essentials such as a phone, compact wallet or card holder, keys, lipstick, and sunglasses in a soft pouch. It is not large enough for bulkier items such as a tablet or water bottle.
Q: Can this bag be worn on the shoulder or crossbody? A: It is primarily designed as a shoulder bag. The chain-and-leather strap is listed at approximately 51 cm, which usually sits comfortably on the shoulder, but for most people it will be too short for an easy crossbody fit.
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: It is primarily designed as a shoulder bag. The chain-and-leather strap is listed at approximately 51 cm, which usually sits comfortably on the shoulder, but for most people it will be too short for an easy crossbody fit.
Q: Is this considered a vintage Chanel bag? A: Yes. This piece is sold as a vintage Chanel bag, and its 21-series serial number is consistent with production from around 2015 to 2016, placing it firmly in the modern vintage era.
Q: What are the main design details of this bag? A: This Medium Happy Stitch features red quilted leather with stitched trim, gold-tone hardware, a CC turn-lock closure, a chain-and-leather shoulder strap, and a tonal fabric lining with internal pockets. It has the polished look of a classic Chanel flap with a slightly more playful stitched finish.
Q: What product information is included with this item? A: The listed product information for this bag includes the serial number and authenticity card. If something is not mentioned in the product information, it should not be assumed to be included.
Q: What is the condition of this specific bag? A: This bag is listed in very good vintage condition. The exterior shows light traces of use with some marks and creasing, the interior has minor marks, and the hardware is shiny with light surface scratches.
Q: How should I care for the leather and hardware? A: Avoid overfilling the bag, prolonged sunlight, moisture, and rubbing against rough or dark surfaces that may cause wear or colour transfer. Clean it gently with a soft dry cloth, store it upright, and wrap the chain before storage to help protect the leather and maintain the shape.
Q: Does the authenticity card alone confirm that a Chanel bag is genuine? A: No. On pre-owned Chanel bags, the authenticity card is only one supporting element. It should match the interior serial sticker and be considered alongside the quality of the leather, stitching, hardware, construction, and overall craftsmanship.
