Made for after-dark occasions, this Chloé Nile Minaudière in black leather brings refined sparkle with a rhinestone-embellished flap and silver-toned hardware. Hold it by the signature bracelet handle for a chic cocktail look, or use the detachable strap for hands-free elegance at weddings, openings and festive evenings; the magnetic closure keeps essentials secure.
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 the Chloé Nile Minaudière? A: With an approximate interior capacity of 20 × 12 × 6 cm, it comfortably holds a smartphone, slim cardholder, keys, lipstick and other small essentials. Long, bulky wallets and large sunglasses cases are unlikely to fit; compact items work best.
Q: Will it fit a large smartphone (for example, an iPhone Pro Max)? A: Yes, most large smartphones fit when placed horizontally along the 20 cm width. If you use a thick protective case it may be snug, so a slimmer case is recommended for easier closure.
Q: How can I wear it? A: Three ways: carry it by the signature bracelet handle; wear it on the shoulder; or go hands‑free cross‑body using the detachable, adjustable leather strap. On this piece the strap drop is around 58 cm, giving easy cross‑body wear.
Q: Is the bracelet handle practical for extended wear? A: The metal ring is ideal for short carries and dressy moments. For longer outings, the shoulder or cross‑body strap is more comfortable. When worn on the strap, the ring sits flat against the front as a decorative detail.
Q: How secure is the closure? A: The magnetic flap closure keeps essentials secure when the bag is not overfilled. Avoid over‑packing, and as with any magnetic closure, keep it away from items that could be affected by magnets. For added peace of mind, store valuables in the internal pocket.
Q: How should I care for the rhinestones and leather? A: Dust the bag gently with a soft, dry cloth and avoid soaking or harsh cleaners. Keep it away from prolonged heat or direct sunlight, which can weaken the adhesive behind rhinestones. Store it stuffed, in a breathable dust bag, and avoid abrasion against rough surfaces to minimise scratches and potential stone loss.
Q: Is the Nile Minaudière still available new? A: The Nile line debuted in 2017 and the minaudière’s availability varies by season; it is frequently found pre‑loved and has been listed as out of stock on the official site at times. This item is available now at A Retro Tale in very good condition.
Q: What are the exact measurements on this item? A: Approximately 20 × 12 × 6 cm with a handle drop of about 10 cm and an adjustable strap drop around 58 cm. Due to the curved silhouette, usable space can vary slightly depending on how you pack.
Q: What comes with this bag? A: This piece includes a detachable leather shoulder strap. Any other extras would be listed under Accessories; if an item such as a dust bag or authenticity card is not listed, it is not included—please contact us if you need confirmation.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes a multi‑point inspection by our in‑house experts, who check materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and serial markings. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide additional details on request.
