Good Condition
This vintage Chanel Classic Patent Square Single Flap Bag in black quilted patent leather with gold-tone hardware is presented in good condition. Finished with a single interwoven chain and leather shoulder strap, black leather lining and CC turn-lock closure, it is an elegant choice for dinners, parties or evenings out.
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 typically fits inside this Chanel Classic Patent Square Single Flap Bag? A: With measurements of approximately 18 x 14 x 7 cm, it is best suited to small essentials such as a compact phone, a card holder, keys, lipstick, and a few slim daily items. It is a mini style, so bulkier purses, large sunglasses cases, or tablets will not fit comfortably.
Q: Can this bag be worn crossbody? A: The interwoven chain and leather strap measures approximately 55 cm. For many people, this length works best on the shoulder, though it may sit crossbody on some frames. As with most mini square styles, the fit depends on height and personal preference.
Q: Is this a single flap or a double flap style? A: This is a single flap model with a CC turn-lock closure. A single flap design usually feels lighter and offers slightly easier access than a double flap style.
Q: Is this bag more suitable for day or evening use? A: It works well for both, but it is especially strong as an evening or occasion bag thanks to its compact square shape, black patent finish, and gold-tone hardware. For daytime, it suits light carry days when you only need the essentials.
Q: What is the condition of this specific bag? A: This piece is described as being in good vintage condition. The exterior shows cracking on the patent leather and a mark on the bottom, the interior has scratches, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. Please review the product images carefully for the clearest view of the wear.
Q: Is patent leather delicate? A: Yes. Patent leather has a beautiful glossy finish, but it can be more prone to surface marks, stiffness, and age-related cracking than some other Chanel finishes. As this bag already shows cracking, gentle handling is especially important.
Q: How should I care for this patent leather bag? A: Wipe it gently with a soft dry or very lightly damp cloth, avoid overfilling, and keep it away from prolonged sunlight, heat, humidity, and friction against textured or dark fabrics. When storing it, keep it upright, lightly stuffed with tissue, and protect the chain so it does not press against the leather.
Q: Can the chain be doubled for a shorter shoulder carry? A: Some owners do style mini square bags this way, but this model is designed with a single strap. On a vintage patent leather piece with existing cracking, using it as intended is the safer option to help reduce rubbing and pressure on the edges.
Q: Does this bag come with an authenticity card or serial number? A: The bag has a serial number sticker, but it is noted as illegible. No authenticity card is listed in the product information. Any included items are shown in the product information section; if something is not listed there, it should not be assumed to be included.
Q: How is a vintage Chanel bag authenticated if the serial number is illegible? A: Authentication should never depend on the serial number alone. Experts also assess the leather, quilting alignment, hardware, lining, stamp details, construction quality, and period-correct features. At A Retro Tale, items are vetted before sale.
