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 fits inside this Mini Valentine Charms Flap Bag? A: With compact dimensions of approximately 13 × 8 × 4 cm, it suits small essentials only: a slim cardholder, keys, lipstick, folded notes/receipts and earbuds. Most modern smartphones will not fit.
Q: Can I wear it crossbody and on the shoulder? A: Yes. The chain-and-leather strap has a drop of about 57 cm, which works for most as a shoulder or crossbody carry. The strap is not adjustable, but you can shorten it by tucking part of the chain inside the bag.
Q: Are the heart charms original to this design? A: Yes. The heart charms are a signature detail from Chanel’s seasonal Valentine editions produced around 2009–2010, aligning with this item’s 13-series serial number range.
Q: Is the strap removable? A: No. The chain strap is fixed. We do not recommend adding aftermarket clasps or clips, as these can mark the leather and hardware.
Q: Is this a single or double flap, and what is the interior like? A: This is a single-flap mini with a CC turn-lock. It has a tonal pink nylon lining and a small interior pocket for cards or tickets.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: This piece is delivered with a dust bag, serial number tag and its Chanel authenticity card, as noted on this product page.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is thoroughly examined by our in‑house experts, including checks of materials, quilting and stitching, stamping, hardware engravings, and the serial sticker/card correlation. The 13-series code corresponds to 2009–2010 production, which matches this model.
Q: How should I care for the pink leather and hardware? A: Store stuffed with acid‑free tissue in a breathable dust bag, keep the chain tucked to avoid press marks, and wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid moisture, oils and prolonged sunlight. To minimise colour transfer, keep away from dark denim and richly dyed fabrics. Use leather conditioner sparingly and only if suitable for smooth lambskin/calfsin‑type leathers.
Q: Do the heart charms flip or catch on clothing? A: Some rotation of the charms while wearing is normal. Take care with fine knits, lace and delicate silks to prevent snagging. Straighten the chain before use and store with the chain wrapped in tissue to keep charms flat.
Q: Where was this bag made? A: Made in Italy, consistent with many Chanel seasonal pieces from this era.
