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 19 x 13 x 8 cm, it is best suited to daily essentials such as a phone, cardholder or compact wallet, keys, lipstick, and a few small personal items. As with all mini bags, bulkier cases or larger long wallets can reduce capacity, so it is best to compare your essentials with the Measurements on this page.
Q: Will a smartphone fit inside? A: Most modern smartphones should fit inside the main compartment, but this depends on the size of your device and case. The exterior back pocket is better suited to very slim items such as cards, receipts, or notes rather than a phone.
Q: Can this bag be worn crossbody? A: This piece has a single interwoven leather and chain strap with an approximate drop of 56 cm. For many people that works for shoulder and crossbody wear, though the exact fit will depend on your height and proportions.
Q: What is the difference between the Mini Square and the Mini Rectangular? A: The Mini Square has a neater, boxier silhouette, while the Mini Rectangular looks longer and more elongated. Buyers often choose the Square for its compact proportions and easy day-to-evening feel, while the Rectangular is often preferred by those who want a more stretched classic flap look.
Q: What does Single Flap mean? A: Single Flap refers to the construction of the bag. It has one main flap rather than the layered double-flap interior found on some Classic Flap styles. This usually makes it lighter, easier to access, and very practical for a compact Chanel bag.
Q: What does the serial number 25****** mean? A: Chanel serial stickers from this era help indicate a bag’s production period. A 25-series serial number is generally associated with 2018, which matches the information listed for this item. As with all Chanel bags, the serial number is one part of the overall authentication process rather than a standalone guarantee.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This bag includes its serial number, as noted in the product information. No authenticity card, box, or other extras are listed, so only the items shown or stated in the product information are included.
Q: How should I care for this bag? A: Store it upright in a protective pouch, keep the chain from pressing into the leather when stored, avoid prolonged sunlight, moisture, and friction, and wipe it gently with a soft cloth. Gentle handling is especially important for quilted leather to help preserve the finish, shape, and overall appearance.
