Very Good Condition
Designed for seamless day-to-night plans, from commuting and coffee catch-ups to a gallery opening, the Chanel Small 22 in black quilted calfskin with gold-tone hardware elevates any outfit. A chain-and-leather shoulder strap and magnetic closure keep essentials close with effortless elegance.
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 the Chanel 22 Small? A: With approximate measurements of 32 × 29 × 8 cm, it comfortably holds daily essentials such as a long zip wallet, phone, sunglasses, keys, a small cosmetics pouch and an A5 notebook. A slim tablet may fit; larger laptops are generally not recommended in the Small size. Capacity depends on how you pack—please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: Can the Chanel 22 Small be worn cross‑body? A: The Small is primarily designed as a shoulder bag. On this piece the strap drop is about 34 cm, which typically sits best on the shoulder; cross‑body wear may sit high on most frames.
Q: How does the bag close, and is it secure? A: The Chanel 22 features a soft, gathered top with a magnetic press‑stud closure. Inside, there is a zipped pocket for valuables, and the included detachable pouch offers extra organisation.
Q: Is the silhouette structured or slouchy? A: The 22 is intentionally relaxed—a modern hobo with a soft drape. It will keep its casual shape best if you avoid overfilling and store it lightly stuffed when not in use.
Q: Does this item come with a pouch and other accessories? A: Yes. According to the listing, this bag includes a detachable matching pouch, dust bag and box. Everything included is always listed under Accessories on this page.
Q: Is the chain strap comfortable for everyday wear? A: The interwoven leather‑and‑chain strap is designed for shoulder carry and is generally comfortable with typical daily items. As with any chain strap, overloading the bag can add pressure on the shoulder—pack accordingly for comfort.
Q: Does it come with an authenticity card? A: Recent Chanel handbags feature an embedded RFID/NFC microchip and metal plate rather than a traditional authenticity card. This piece is microchipped (listed as RFID) and has been authenticated by A Retro Tale’s in‑house experts.
Q: What leather is used, and how should I care for it? A: This bag is crafted from shiny/quilted calfskin. Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth, avoid contact with liquids and colour‑transfer from dark fabrics, and store stuffed in its dust bag away from direct heat and sunlight. Keep the chain tucked inside or wrapped to prevent imprints on the leather.
Q: Does the Chanel 22 Small have metal feet or an adjustable strap? A: The 22 Small does not have base feet, and its shoulder strap is fixed length (non‑adjustable).
