Delivery & Returns
Q: What typically fits inside this Chanel Mini Square Single Top Handle Flap Bag? A: With measurements of approximately 18 x 13.5 x 7 cm, it is best suited to small essentials such as a phone, card holder, keys, lipstick, and a few slim daily items. It is a compact mini style, so larger wallets and bulkier items are unlikely to fit comfortably.
Q: Does this bag have a shoulder or crossbody strap? A: No shoulder strap is listed for this specific item. It features a single top handle with an approximate handle drop of 11 cm, so it is designed primarily to be carried by hand.
Q: Is this bag considered vintage? A: Yes. This is a vintage Chanel bag made in France, and the serial number range places production between 1986 and 1988.
Q: What does the serial number indicate? A: Chanel began using serial stickers in the mid-1980s. A serial beginning with 0 corresponds to the late 1980s, which aligns with the 1986 to 1988 production range noted for this bag. As with all vintage Chanel pieces, the serial number is one part of the overall authentication process.
Q: What are the key design details of this bag? A: This piece features beige quilted leather, gold-tone hardware, a tonal leather lining, a single top handle, and Chanel’s signature CC turn-lock closure.
Q: What condition is this bag in? A: It is listed in very good vintage condition. The exterior shows minor wear on the corners, the interior has light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light surface scratches.
Q: How should I care for vintage quilted leather? A: Store the bag lightly stuffed to help maintain its shape, keep it away from prolonged sunlight and moisture, and avoid overfilling. Gently wipe it with a soft dry cloth after use, and use a specialist for deeper cleaning or restoration, especially for delicate vintage leather and lighter colours.
Q: Is this bag better for everyday use or evening wear? A: This style works best as a compact occasion bag or for light daily use when you only need the essentials. Mini Chanel styles are especially popular because they feel polished enough for evening wear while still being practical for small daytime necessities.
Q: What product information is included with this item? A: The product information listed for this piece includes the serial number. If an authenticity card, box, dust bag, or other extras are not shown in the product information, they should not be assumed to be included.
Q: How is this Chanel bag authenticated? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is reviewed for authenticity using details such as materials, construction, hardware, stamps, and serial information. If you would like more item-specific product information before purchasing, customer service can usually provide additional clarification.
