Q: Is this the Chanel Classic Medium Double Flap size? A: Yes. This item is the Chanel Classic Medium Double Flap Bag. The listed measurements are approximately 26 cm wide, 16 cm high and 6 cm deep, which places it in the classic medium format. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for the exact dimensions of this individual bag.
Q: What typically fits inside a Chanel Classic Medium Double Flap Bag? A: The medium size is ideal for daily essentials. It will typically hold a phone, card holder or compact wallet, keys, lipstick and a few small personal items. Because this is a double flap design, the interior is more structured than roomier single-flap styles, so packing light usually gives the best fit.
Q: Can this bag be worn on the shoulder and crossbody? A: Yes. The leather-interwoven chain allows for different carry options depending on how you style the strap. Based on the measurements provided, it can be worn shorter on the shoulder or longer for a lower drop. Crossbody fit will depend on your height and preferred positioning, so we recommend comparing the listed strap measurements with a bag you already own.
Q: Is the Chanel Classic Medium Double Flap suitable for everyday use? A: Yes, this is one of the most versatile Chanel sizes and is widely chosen for both day and evening wear. It offers a polished, structured look while still fitting everyday essentials, making it a strong option if you want one bag that transitions easily between casual and dressier outfits.
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.

Crossbody fit will depend on your height and preferred positioning, so we recommend comparing the listed strap measurements with a bag you already own.
Q: What is the difference between the Classic Double Flap and the 2.55 Reissue? A: The Classic Double Flap is known for its interlocking CC turn-lock closure and leather-woven chain strap. The 2.55 Reissue uses the Mademoiselle lock and a different chain style. This bag is the Classic Double Flap version, which is one of Chanel’s most iconic and recognisable designs.
Q: What does the serial number indicate on this bag? A: This bag has a serial number in the 10-series range, which corresponds to production in 2005 to 2006. For vintage Chanel, the serial number helps place the production period, but it should always be assessed together with the bag’s overall construction, details and provenance.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This item includes the serial number tag. Everything included with the bag is shown in the product information on this page. If something is not listed there, it should not be assumed to be included.
Q: What condition is this bag in? A: The overall condition is rated Very Good, with light traces of use. The exterior and interior are both noted as Very Good with light wear, and the hardware is described as shiny with light scratches. As with all vintage and second-hand pieces, minor signs of age and handling are to be expected.
Q: Is the Chanel Classic Medium Double Flap suitable for everyday use? A: Yes, this is one of the most versatile Chanel sizes and is widely chosen for both day and evening wear. It offers a polished, structured look while still fitting everyday essentials, making it a strong option if you want one bag that transitions easily between casual and dressier outfits.
Q: How should I care for and store this bag? A: To help preserve its shape and finish, store it upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and humidity. Lightly stuff the interior with acid-free tissue to support the structure, avoid overfilling, and wipe gently with a soft dry cloth after use. Extra care is recommended with vintage bags to protect the leather, lining and hardware over time.
Q: How do you authenticate Chanel bags like this one? A: At A Retro Tale, every item is checked by experts using a multi-point review of details such as construction, stitching, hardware, serial features, shape and overall consistency with the model and production period. The serial number is one element of authentication, but it is never the only one.
