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 Mini Rectangular Single Flap Bag? A: At approximately 20 × 13 × 6 cm, it is best suited to small essentials such as a standard smartphone, a cardholder or slim wallet, keys, lipstick and other compact items. It is not ideal for bulky purses, large sunglasses cases or anything tablet-sized.
Q: Can it be worn on the shoulder or crossbody? A: The chain-and-leather strap drop is approximately 56 cm. On many people that works well for shoulder wear and can also suit crossbody styling, although the exact fit depends on your height, proportions and whether you are wearing thicker outerwear.
Q: What does single flap mean? A: A single flap has one main flap rather than the extra interior flap seen in many larger Classic Flap styles. This usually keeps the bag lighter, gives easier access and offers a little more usable space for its size.
Q: How does the rectangular mini compare with the square mini? A: The rectangular mini has a longer, slimmer silhouette and is often preferred by buyers who want the most classic flap look in a mini size. It also tends to feel a little more versatile for crossbody wear, while the square mini has a more compact profile.
Q: What does the serial number suggest about the production period? A: This bag has serial number 21948059. Chanel serial numbers beginning with 21 are generally associated with production around 2015 to 2016. As with all vintage Chanel, the serial is one clue among many and should be considered alongside the materials, stamp, hardware and overall construction.
Q: Does the authenticity card matter on a pre-owned Chanel? A: Yes, it is a desirable extra on vintage Chanel. The product information for this bag lists both a serial number and an authenticity card, which is reassuring for collectability and completeness. That said, authentication should never rely on the card alone; the bag itself is always the most important part of the assessment.
Q: What product information is included with this bag? A: The product information lists a serial number and authenticity card. If you would like confirmation of anything else that is or is not included, it is best to request this before purchase.
Q: How should I care for pink quilted leather and gold-tone hardware? A: Keep it away from prolonged sunlight, moisture, perfume and rough friction. Because this is a light-coloured leather bag, take extra care with dark denim and other strongly dyed fabrics to reduce colour transfer. Store it upright, lightly filled with tissue, and keep the chain from pressing into the leather when not in use.
Q: What is the condition of this specific bag? A: It is listed in very good condition overall, with minor wear on the corners, light traces of use inside, and shiny hardware with light scratches. That means it presents very well, but you should still expect gentle signs of prior wear consistent with a vintage Chanel piece.
