In very good condition, it holds essentials with ease—an elegant choice for weddings, gallery openings or dinner dates.
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: What are the measurements and what will it hold? A: The Classic Mini Rectangular is compact at approximately 20 × 13 × 7 cm, with a strap drop around 61 cm. It comfortably carries a large smartphone, a small cardholder, keys, and a few cosmetics. Many owners report that Pro Max/Plus-sized phones can fit depending on case thickness; slim cases work best. For exact sizing, please refer to the Measurements on this page.
Q: Is this the single flap version? A: Yes. The Rectangular Mini is a single flap design with the signature CC turn-lock, making it lighter and easier to access than the larger double-flap sizes.
Q: Does it have an exterior pocket? A: Yes, there is a curved back slip pocket for slim items like receipts or travel cards, along with an interior zipped pocket for valuables.
Q: Can I wear it crossbody and is the strap adjustable? A: Yes, the chain‑and‑leather strap wears beautifully crossbody on most figures. It is a fixed length, but many owners temporarily shorten it by looping the chain under the flap when needed.
Q: What year is this bag from based on the serial number 27003788? A: The 27‑series serial indicates production around 2019. From 2021, Chanel introduced microchipped metal plates instead of authenticity cards; this piece still includes its card as listed in the product information.
Q: Will a long wallet or a compact umbrella fit? A: A full-length continental wallet or an umbrella will be too large for this silhouette. For best use of space, opt for a cardholder or compact wallet and slim essentials.
Q: What leather is it and how should I care for it? A: This piece is lambskin. Avoid prolonged exposure to light, heat, and humidity. If it gets wet, blot gently with a soft, non‑pilling cloth. Store it upright in its dust bag, wrap the chain in tissue to prevent imprints, and lightly buff minor surface marks with small circular motions.
Q: How does the Rectangular Mini compare to the Square Mini? A: The Rectangular Mini is slightly longer with a marginally longer strap, so it holds a touch more and is often easier to wear crossbody. The Square Mini is shorter and a little deeper with a slightly shorter strap drop.
Q: What is included and how do you authenticate? A: Everything included is listed under product information; for this piece that is the dust bag, authenticity card, and serial number tag. Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully authenticated by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, and serial markers.
