ChanelClassic Medium Double Flap Bag

Q: What are the dimensions of this Chanel Classic Medium Double Flap Bag?
A: It measures approximately 26 cm wide, 16 cm high and 7 cm deep. As a vintage bag, its usable interior space may be slightly smaller than the exterior measurements suggest.

Q: What fits inside?
A: It is suited to daily essentials such as a phone, slim wallet or cardholder, keys and a few small personal items. The double-flap construction limits space for bulky items, so check the bag’s measurements against anything you carry regularly.

Q: Can I wear it on the shoulder or crossbody?
A: The chain can be worn doubled for a shorter shoulder carry or extended for a longer drop. The listed strap measurements are 24/42 cm. Whether the longer setting works as a crossbody fit will depend on your height and preferred fit.

Q: What does ‘double flap’ mean?

Q: How should I care for this vintage bag?
A: Avoid overfilling it and keep it away from prolonged sunlight and moisture. Gently wipe it with a soft cloth, avoid harsh cleaning products, and store it upright with the chain wrapped so it does not press into the leather.

Q: Is the beige colour prone to colour transfer?
A: Light-coloured leather can pick up dye from dark clothing. Avoid prolonged contact with dark denim or other fabrics that may transfer colour, particularly when carrying the bag against your clothes.
