Hi Guys!

I am interested in purchasing a pre-loved Chanel single flap maxi. Can you recommend a reputable source? I find eBay challenging because most of the bags are coming from Asia and I'm just very skeptical.

Anywhoo - that's not my actual question. I was wondering if you can help me identify what year/model this bag is because I notice that the made-in/24k gold stamp is on the RIGHT C of the CC clasp, when usually I see it on the left C. The serial number of this bag begins with 3 so I understand that means it was made in 1994-1996. Appreciate your help!
That's the vintage Jumbo XL/Maxi flap. The marking on the right C is fine and you have the year range for a 3 series correct.
 
Please help!!!
I'm considering purchasing this bag for 1,800 EURO. Do you happen to know what model is this? The seller said is from 2010/ 2011 collection but I cannot find it online. Also, the seller said it can be carried only as a shoulder bag. Even though the chain looks like a Classic single flap, is attached in such way it can be carried only doubled. Do you know if this can be "fixed" so I can carry it as a crossbody as well? Also, do you believe this is a good price for this model in good condition? Thanks for letting me know your thoughts. This is my first time posting so I hope you'll be able to help :smile:
This bag is meant for shoulder carry and can be carried as either a double chain shoulder bag, or single chain shoulder bag. Unless you have a very short torso, it won't be comfortable wearing this cross body. What you can do is have the chain professionally lengthened/extended. I think Leather Surgeons is one of the companies that does that. Contact them for more info.
Price depends not only on the style, but also the condition, and what is included in the sale. If it's in excellent condition with no damage and color transfer, the price is not bad (IMO). And if the authenticity card is included, even better.
 
That's the vintage Jumbo XL/Maxi flap. The marking on the right C is fine and you have the year range for a 3 series correct.

Thanks! My understanding is that because the serial number begins with a 3, it’s from 1994-1996? Do you happen to know why the placement of the mark is on different Cs for others bags of this same year range? Happy to know it’s authentic, would just love to understand why :)

Can anybody point me to which season this bag is from & what it is called? No info on this anywhere online, thanks!

This is from the 20P collection and it’s called the City Walk Flap. I have seen it in the following variations:
Black with light gold hardware
Light grey with light gold hardware
Pink but not sure of the hardware
Black with the mixed metal hardware as per the picture you provided.

Hi, would really appreciate your help on identifying the name and/or leather for this bag!

I’m cleaning out my closet and thinking of rehoming this bag, but I don’t know the name of it. The year code starts with 15 so I’m guessing it was 2010/2011. I think it was also a seasonal bag, maybe cruise collection? The hardware seems to be ruthenium. Not sure what type of leather it is either.
