Q: What typically fits inside this bag? A: With measurements of approximately 28 × 18 × 10 cm, it is a practical everyday size for essentials such as a phone, long wallet, keys, sunglasses, and a small cosmetics pouch. It offers more room than smaller evening styles, but it is not designed for a laptop. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for the exact dimensions.
Q: Can this bag be worn crossbody? A: This model is best suited to shoulder wear. The strap drop is approximately 28 cm doubled and 51 cm single, so you can carry it with a shorter double-chain drop or a longer single-chain drop. For most adults, it will sit better on the shoulder than crossbody.
Q: What does double flap mean? A: A double flap bag has two layers to open before reaching the main compartment. This adds structure and a classic Chanel feel, while also giving a little extra security. The trade-off is that the interior can feel slightly more compact than a single-flap bag of a similar outer size.
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.
