ChanelCC Patent Flap Bag

Q: What colour, material and hardware does this Chanel CC Patent Flap Bag have?
A: It is made from pink quilted patent leather with a glossy finish, ruthenium hardware and a CC turn-lock closure.

Q: What are the dimensions, and what can I fit inside?
A: The bag measures approximately 27 cm wide × 19 cm high × 12 cm deep. It should accommodate everyday essentials such as a phone, small wallet, keys and a few cosmetics, depending on their size. The interior has black fabric lining and one zipped pocket. Avoid overfilling it to help preserve its shape.

Q: Can I wear this bag on the shoulder or crossbody?
A: This bag has an interwoven chain-link and leather shoulder strap with listed strap drops of 25/44 cm. Crossbody suitability is not confirmed and will depend on your height, build and preferred position. Compare the longer drop with a bag you already own to assess the fit.

Q: What condition is this pre-owned bag in?
A: It is in good condition overall. The exterior shows discolouration on a corner and wear to the leather woven through the chain strap. The interior is in good condition with light signs of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches.

Q: When and where was this bag made?
A: The product information dates this bag to 2014–2015 and lists France as its country of origin. Its partially concealed serial number is 20******.

Q: Has this bag been authenticated?
A: Yes. According to the product information, its authenticity has been checked and verified by A Retro Tale's experts, who have over 10 years of experience in vintage and luxury bags.

Q: Does it come with a box, dust bag or authenticity card?
A: No. The product information states that no accessories are included, so this item does not come with a box, dust bag or authenticity card.

Q: How should I clean and care for the patent leather?
A: Gently wipe the surface with a soft cloth and avoid cleaning products that could damage the glossy finish. Keep it away from prolonged sunlight and moisture. If it gets wet, gently pat it dry with an absorbent, non-pilling cloth rather than rubbing. Seek specialist advice before treating the existing corner discolouration.

Q: Is pink patent leather susceptible to colour transfer?
A: Yes. Chanel warns that prolonged contact with dark materials can transfer dye onto patent leather, particularly lighter colours. Avoid leaving this bag against dark clothing or coloured items for extended periods. The cause of this bag's existing corner discolouration is not specified in the product information.

Q: How should I store this bag?
A: Store it upright in a suitable protective pouch, away from prolonged light exposure and moisture. Wrap the chain and strap in tissue paper to help prevent them from marking the surface. You will need to provide your own pouch, as none is included.
