Q: What typically fits inside this Chanel Mini Full Flap Bag? A: With measurements of approximately 19.5 x 11 x 5.5 cm, this mini bag is best for compact essentials. It should suit most standard smartphones placed horizontally, a slim card holder, keys, lipstick and a few small daily items. It is not designed for bulkier belongings.
Q: Will it fit a full-sized long wallet? A: Generally, no. A mini flap of this size is better suited to a compact wallet or card case rather than a long continental wallet.
Q: Can this bag be worn crossbody? A: The strap drop is approximately 52 cm. For most people, that makes it ideal as a shoulder bag, and it may sit as a short crossbody depending on your height and proportions.
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.

Q: Can this bag be worn crossbody? A: The strap drop is approximately 52 cm. For most people, that makes it ideal as a shoulder bag, and it may sit as a short crossbody depending on your height and proportions.
Q: Is this a single flap or double flap style? A: This piece is a single flap model. Many collectors appreciate single flap Chanel bags because they are lighter and easier to access while still offering the classic quilted Chanel look.
Q: What does the serial number 1****** indicate? A: A Chanel serial number beginning with 1 is consistent with production between 1989 and 1991. That places this bag in the early vintage Chanel period.
Q: Does this bag have interior pockets? A: Yes. It features a red leather lining with internal pockets, which are useful for organising small essentials.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: This listing notes the serial number under product information. If an authenticity card, box, dust bag or other item is not listed there, it is not included with this piece.
Q: What is the condition of this specific bag? A: The overall condition is rated Very Good. The exterior and interior both show light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches.
Q: How should I care for this vintage Chanel bag? A: Store it upright in a pouch or breathable dust bag, ideally with light tissue inside to help maintain its shape and tissue around the chain to protect the leather. Keep it away from prolonged sunlight, humidity and colour transfer from clothing. Wipe gently with a soft cloth and avoid harsh cleaning products.
Q: How do you authenticate this Chanel bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully reviewed by specialists using details such as materials, construction, stitching, hardware, interior features and serial details. Vintage Chanel bags are authenticated as a whole, not by one detail alone.
