Q: What typically fits inside this Chanel Full Flap Bag? A: With dimensions of approximately 20 x 14 x 6 cm, this bag is best suited to essentials such as a phone, compact wallet or card holder, keys, lipstick, and a few small extras. It is not designed for bulkier daily items such as a tablet, water bottle, or larger pouch. If you use a very large phone or a long wallet, the fit may feel tighter.
Q: Can this bag be worn crossbody? A: The strap measurement is 44 cm, so it is generally better suited to shoulder wear. Depending on your height and styling preference, it may sit too short to feel comfortable as a true crossbody bag.
Q: Is this a good day-to-evening size? A: Yes. Small Chanel flap styles are often chosen for their elegant proportions and are especially well suited to lunches, dinners, events, and lighter daily use when you only need the essentials rather than a full day 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.

It is not designed for bulkier daily items such as a tablet, water bottle, or larger pouch. If you use a very large phone or a long wallet, the fit may feel tighter.
Q: Can this bag be worn crossbody? A: The strap measurement is 44 cm, so it is generally better suited to shoulder wear. Depending on your height and styling preference, it may sit too short to feel comfortable as a true crossbody bag.
Q: What does the serial number indicate? A: The listed serial number is a 0-series code, which corresponds to Chanel bags produced around 1986 to 1988. On vintage Chanel bags, the serial number helps date the item, but it should always be considered alongside the construction, leather, hardware, and overall craftsmanship.
Q: What is included with this item? A: The product information lists a serial number. No authenticity card, box, or dust bag is noted in the product information, so these should not be assumed to be included unless otherwise stated.
Q: What is the condition of this particular bag? A: This bag is rated Very Good overall. The exterior has visible scratches and scuffing to the leather, the interior has light scratches and marks, and the hardware shows scratches and discolouration. These are consistent with age and use on a vintage Chanel piece.
Q: Does this bag have interior pockets and how does it close? A: Yes. It features red leather lining with one internal zip pocket and a snap closure under the flap, making it practical for organising small essentials.
Q: How should I care for vintage Chanel leather? A: Avoid overfilling the bag, prolonged exposure to sunlight, moisture, and contact with water. Wipe it gently with a soft cloth and store it upright when not in use, ideally lightly stuffed to help maintain its shape. Because this example already shows visible wear, gentle handling is especially important.
Q: Is this a good day-to-evening size? A: Yes. Small Chanel flap styles are often chosen for their elegant proportions and are especially well suited to lunches, dinners, events, and lighter daily use when you only need the essentials rather than a full day bag.
Q: Where was this bag made? A: The country of origin label states France.
