Q: What size is this Chanel Suede Single Flap Bag, and what typically fits inside? A: This bag measures approximately 23 x 14.5 x 6 cm, which places it in the small flap category. It is best for daily essentials such as a phone, card holder or small wallet, keys, lipstick and a few slim extras. Bulky items or larger purses may make the bag feel quite full, so please use the Measurements on this page as your guide.
Q: Can this bag be worn on the shoulder or crossbody? A: The interwoven chain and leather strap has an approximate drop of 55 cm. For most people this suits shoulder wear best and gives an elegant longer drop. Depending on height and styling preference it may sit lower on the body, so we recommend comparing the strap measurement with a bag you already own.
Q: What does single flap mean? A: A single flap bag has one main flap rather than the additional inner flap found on double flap styles. Many collectors like single flap designs because they are lighter, easier to access and a little roomier inside for their size. Vintage Chanel single flap bags are especially appealing because they are less commonly found than later standard double flap versions.
Q: Is this bag better for everyday use or occasions? A: Its compact small size, black colour, gold-tone hardware and crystal CC logo make it especially versatile for day-to-evening use. It works well for lunches, dinners, events and lighter everyday wear, but because suede is more delicate than grained leather, most buyers prefer to use it a little more carefully rather than as a heavy all-weather daily 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.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.

Many collectors like single flap designs because they are lighter, easier to access and a little roomier inside for their size. Vintage Chanel single flap bags are especially appealing because they are less commonly found than later standard double flap versions.
Q: How should I care for the suede on this bag? A: Suede is beautiful but delicate, so it is best kept away from rain, moisture, heavy friction and prolonged direct sunlight. Store the bag upright in a pouch or dust bag, lightly stuffed to help maintain its shape, and keep the chain wrapped so it does not press into the suede. For routine upkeep, use only gentle suede care and seek a specialist for deeper cleaning.
Q: Is wear on the suede normal for a vintage Chanel bag? A: Yes. Vintage suede often shows signs such as rubbing, slight flattening of the nap and surface shading over time. This example is listed in Very Good condition, with visible wear on the suede, light traces of use inside and shiny hardware with light scratches, so the condition is consistent with careful previous wear.
Q: What is included with this bag? A: The product information notes a serial number sticker, although the serial number itself is described as illegible. No authenticity card, box or other extras are listed, so only the items specifically shown or mentioned in the product information should be assumed to be included.
Q: Does an illegible serial number mean the bag is not authentic? A: Not necessarily. On vintage Chanel bags, serial stickers can fade, peel or become difficult to read with age and use. Collectors and authenticators treat the serial sticker as one helpful detail rather than the only proof of authenticity, so the overall construction, materials, hardware and finishing remain just as important.
Q: Is this bag better for everyday use or occasions? A: Its compact small size, black colour, gold-tone hardware and crystal CC logo make it especially versatile for day-to-evening use. It works well for lunches, dinners, events and lighter everyday wear, but because suede is more delicate than grained leather, most buyers prefer to use it a little more carefully rather than as a heavy all-weather daily bag.
Q: Where was this bag made? A: The country of origin label states France, which is consistent with many vintage Chanel bags.
