Q: What fits inside this Chanel Medium Shiva Caviar Single Flap Bag? A: With approximate dimensions of 28 x 22 x 8 cm, this medium-sized bag is well suited to daily essentials such as a phone, wallet, keys, sunglasses, and a few small cosmetics. As always, capacity depends on how you organise your items, so please refer to the Measurements in the product information for the most accurate guide.
Q: Can this bag be worn on the shoulder or crossbody? A: This bag features a chain shoulder strap with a leather pad and a listed strap measurement of 30/53 cm. That usually makes it comfortable on the shoulder, and depending on your height and styling preference it may also work as a longer drop carry. We recommend checking the listed strap measurement against a bag you already own for the best fit reference.
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 is caviar leather, and is it durable? A: Chanel caviar leather is a grained leather known for its textured finish and practical durability. It is generally chosen by buyers who want a leather that feels more resistant to everyday scratches and helps the bag keep its structure well over time.
Q: What does single flap mean? A: A single flap bag has one main flap rather than the layered interior construction found on double flap styles. Many buyers like single flap designs because they are lighter and easier to access in day-to-day use while still offering the classic Chanel flap look.
Q: Is this bag vintage? A: Yes. This piece is described as vintage in the product information. The serial number range provided, 21******, corresponds to a production period of 2015 to 2016, which also helps place the bag within Chanel’s earlier serial-sticker era.
Q: What is included with this bag? A: According to the product information, this item includes a serial sticker. If any additional inclusions were present, they would be listed in the product information.
Q: What condition is this bag in? A: This bag is listed in good condition. The exterior shows light traces of use and creasing in the leather, the interior has discolouration on the lining and stains, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. Please review the images and condition notes carefully for the clearest impression of wear.
Q: How should I care for this Chanel bag? A: To help preserve the bag, avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight, moisture, and heat, and do not overfill it so the shape stays neat. Store it upright when possible, and wipe it gently with a soft cloth rather than using harsh cleaners or leather products that may affect the finish. Because this is a pre-owned piece, gentle handling is especially important.
Q: How do you authenticate a Chanel bag like this? A: Authentication should never rely on the serial sticker alone. A proper assessment considers the overall construction, leather quality, stitching, hardware, interior details, date range, and consistency of the bag as a whole. At A Retro Tale, all items are professionally vetted for authenticity before sale.
