This vintage Chanel Classic Mini Square Single Flap Bag in beige quilted leather with gold-tone hardware offers an iconic Chanel look.

Ideal for lunches, city outings or evening plans, it adds timeless polish to both casual and dressed-up ensembles.
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 Square Single Flap Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 20 × 15 × 6 cm, it is best suited to daily essentials such as a phone, card holder or small wallet, keys, lipstick and a few slim personal items. It works best when packed lightly, so we recommend referring to the Measurements on this page for the exact size.
Q: Can this bag be worn on the shoulder or crossbody? A: The strap measurement is approximately 55 cm. For many people, that works well on the shoulder and may also suit crossbody wear depending on height and styling preference. Compared with the mini rectangular style, the square silhouette usually feels a little more compact when worn.
Q: Is this a single flap or double flap design? A: This is a single flap bag. Chanel mini flap styles are known for being lighter and easier to access than larger double flap classics, whilst still keeping the iconic quilted finish, leather-threaded chain strap and CC turn-lock closure.
Q: What is the difference between the Mini Square and the Mini Rectangular? A: The Mini Square has a more compact, boxy silhouette, whilst the Mini Rectangular is slightly longer and often feels a touch roomier in layout. Many buyers choose the square for its balanced vintage proportions and the rectangular for a longer crossbody look.
Q: What does the serial number tell me? A: This bag has a 1-series serial number, which is generally associated with production between 1989 and 1991. On vintage Chanel pieces, the serial number is an important dating clue and one part of the overall authentication process.
Q: What condition is this bag in? A: This piece is listed in good vintage condition. There is visible wear on the corners and strap, scratches on the inside, light scratches on the hardware, and visible tarnishing on the chain. These signs of use are reflected in the product information and photographs.
Q: What product information is included with this bag? A: The product information listed for this item includes the serial number. If anything else is not specifically listed in the product information, it should not be assumed to be included.
Q: How should I care for vintage quilted leather and hardware? A: Store the bag upright in a breathable dust bag, lightly stuffed to help maintain its shape, and keep it away from prolonged sunlight, humidity and rough surfaces. Use a soft cloth for gentle cleaning, avoid harsh products, and handle the hardware carefully to help minimise further scratching or tarnishing over time.
Q: How do you authenticate this Chanel bag? A: A Retro Tale specialises in authenticated luxury vintage pieces. For Chanel, authentication relies on a combination of details such as construction, leather, stitching, hardware, branding and serial markings, rather than any single feature alone.
