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 size is this Chanel Mini Full Flap Bag? A: This vintage mini measures approximately 19 x 11 x 6 cm, placing it in the compact mini flap category with a slim rectangular profile. It is ideal for light day-to-evening use rather than carrying larger daily essentials.
Q: What typically fits inside? A: You can usually fit a modern phone, a slim card holder, keys, lipstick and a few small extras. A bulky purse, large continental wallet or hard sunglasses case may be too much for this size, so it is best suited to an essentials-only carry.
Q: Can this bag be worn crossbody? A: The strap drop is approximately 53 cm. For many people this works very well on the shoulder, and it may also sit crossbody on some frames, but the exact fit will depend on your height and preferred bag position.
Q: Is the red leather lining normal for this style? A: Yes. A red or burgundy leather lining is a recognised detail seen in many Chanel vintage mini and flap styles. On this bag, it also creates a striking contrast against the black quilted exterior and helps brighten the interior.
Q: What does the serial number 1468136 tell me? A: This bag has a 7-digit Chanel serial number beginning with 1, which is generally associated with production around 1989 to 1991. As with all vintage Chanel pieces, the serial number is best considered together with the bag’s overall construction and other authenticity details.
Q: What is included with this bag? A: The product information lists the serial number as included. No authenticity card, box or dust bag is listed for this piece, so only the items specifically mentioned in the product information should be expected.
Q: What condition is this bag in? A: It is listed in very good vintage condition. The exterior shows scuffs on the leather, the interior has light traces of use and minor marks, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches.
Q: How should I care for a vintage Chanel leather mini bag? A: Avoid overfilling it, protect it from prolonged sunlight and moisture, and wipe it gently with a soft cloth. When not in use, store it upright in a pouch or breathable dust bag to help preserve its shape and finish.
Q: How is this bag authenticated? A: A Retro Tale verifies authenticity through expert review of details such as materials, construction, hardware and serial features. This bag also retains its Chanel serial number, which is an important element when assessing vintage Chanel pieces.
