Excellent Condition
Perfect for an elegant evening—cocktail parties, dinners or a gallery opening—this Chanel Mini Full Flap lends a refined pop of red. Compact yet chic, with gold-tone accents and a shoulder chain, it elevates a little black dress or tailored separates while keeping essentials close for a polished night out.
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 are the dimensions and strap drop of this Mini Full Flap? A: Approx. 18 × 12 × 7 cm with a strap drop of about 55 cm. Minor variations can occur as each piece is hand-finished.
Q: What typically fits inside? A: Small everyday essentials such as a slim card holder or compact wallet, keys, lipstick, and a small smartphone, plus a few flat items. Bulky cases and large phones may require angled placement; please refer to the Measurements on this page to plan your carry.
Q: Can I wear it crossbody? A: Yes, the single chain-and-leather strap and approximately 55 cm drop make it crossbody-friendly for many people. You can also wear it on the shoulder by doubling the chain inside the flap to shorten the drop.
Q: Is this a single or double flap? A: This is a full-flap, single-flap design. The front flap covers the full front of the bag and closes with a CC turn-lock, offering a lighter feel than a classic double-flap construction.
Q: What year does the serial number 27244165 indicate? A: The 27-series serial number indicates production circa 2019. From 2021, Chanel transitioned to microchipped metal plates rather than serial stickers and cards.
Q: Is the gold-tone hardware 24k gold plated? A: No. Chanel phased out 24k gold-plated hardware around late 2008. As a 27-series piece, this bag features gold-tone hardware rather than 24k plating.
Q: How should I care for the red lambskin leather? A: Handle with clean hands, avoid moisture and colour transfer, and store stuffed to maintain shape. For minor surface marks on lambskin, gently buff in small circular motions with a soft, non-pilling cloth. Keep away from prolonged light and humidity; wrap the chain before storage to prevent imprints.
Q: What is included in the product information for this item? A: This piece comes with the dust bag, authenticity card and matching serial number, as listed in the product information on this page. If an item is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: What should I know about its condition and odour? A: Overall very good: light signs of use outside (minor creasing), a small mark on the lining, and a slight vintage odour noted by our team. Airing the bag in a cool, dry place away from direct light typically helps any residual odour dissipate.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this Chanel bag? A: Every item undergoes a multi-point review by our in-house specialists, assessing materials, quilting and stitching, stamps, hardware, serial details and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide additional photos or details on request.
