Q: What typically fits inside this Chanel Matelasse Chain Shoulder Bag? A: This is a compact mini bag measuring approximately 14 x 10 x 7 cm, so it is best suited to small essentials such as cards, folded notes, keys, lipstick, and other petite daily items. It is ideal for light day-to-evening use rather than carrying bulkier belongings. Please refer to the measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: Will a phone fit inside? A: Smaller phones may fit, but larger modern smartphones can be a tight fit due to the bag’s compact proportions. If this is important for you, we recommend comparing your phone’s measurements with the bag dimensions listed on this page before purchasing.
Q: Is this a single flap or double flap Chanel bag? A: This piece is a Single Flap model in a mini size. Compared with double flap styles, single flap bags are generally lighter and a little easier to access, while still offering the classic quilted Chanel look.
Q: Can this bag be worn on the shoulder or crossbody? A: The strap drop is approximately 55 cm. For many people, that works well on the shoulder and may also suit crossbody wear depending on height and frame. The exact fit will vary from person to person.
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 on the shoulder or crossbody? A: The strap drop is approximately 55 cm. For many people, that works well on the shoulder and may also suit crossbody wear depending on height and frame. The exact fit will vary from person to person.
Q: Is this bag suitable for evening use? A: Yes. Mini Chanel flap styles are often chosen for evenings because they are lightweight, elegant, and carry the essentials without feeling bulky. This black colourway also makes it especially versatile for both daytime and evening styling.
Q: What does the serial number tag tell me about the bag? A: This item includes a serial number tag, and the 7-digit format is consistent with older Chanel production. A serial beginning with 1 typically places the bag in the early vintage sticker era, commonly around 1989 to 1991. As with all vintage Chanel pieces, the serial number is just one part of the overall authentication picture.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This bag comes with the serial number tag, as noted in the product information. If any additional inclusions are not listed in the product information, they should not be assumed to be included.
Q: What is the condition of this 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. This means the bag has been well kept while still showing gentle signs of previous wear, which is normal for a vintage Chanel piece.
Q: How should I care for a vintage Chanel mini bag? A: Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and humidity, and avoid overfilling it so the shape stays neat. Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after use, and take extra care with the corners, flap edges, and chain contact points, as these areas tend to show wear first on vintage bags.
Q: Where was this bag made? A: According to the product data, this Chanel bag was made in France.
