Delivery & Returns
Q: What size is this Chanel Small Just Mademoiselle Bowling Bag? A: This Small size measures approximately 33 x 17 x 14 cm, with a strap drop of about 20 cm. It is a compact shoulder bag that still offers practical day-to-day space for essentials.
Q: What typically fits inside this bag? A: With its structured bowling shape, it is best suited to daily essentials such as a phone, small wallet, keys, sunglasses, lipstick, and a few compact personal items. It is not designed for larger items such as a laptop or bulky organisers. For the most accurate idea of capacity, please refer to the Measurements on this page.
Q: Is this bag comfortable to carry on the shoulder? A: Yes, this model is designed as a shoulder bag and features double chain-link straps. The 20 cm strap drop is generally comfortable for shoulder wear, though fit can vary slightly depending on your frame and outerwear.
Q: Does the Just Mademoiselle Bowling Bag have a roomy interior? A: Yes, this style is known for offering good everyday capacity relative to its silhouette. Many collectors like the model for its rounded bowling shape, which can hold more than flatter shoulder bags of a similar width.
Q: Is the opening easy to use? A: Bowling bags are often praised for their practical shape, but some owners note that the opening can feel a little tighter than expected when reaching in quickly. Using both hands to open the top a little wider can make access easier and help protect delicate items from rubbing against the edge.
Q: How can I tell the production period of this bag? A: This bag has a serial number beginning with 14, which corresponds to the 2010–2011 production period. On vintage Chanel bags, the serial sticker helps indicate the manufacturing era and is one of several details used during authentication.
Q: What comes with this item? A: This bag comes with product information including the serial number tag. If any other extras such as a box, dust bag, or authenticity card are not listed on this page, they are not included with this item.
Q: What condition is this bag in? A: This item is rated Very Good Condition. The exterior and interior both show light traces of use, and the black hardware remains shiny with light scratches. This means the bag presents very well overall while still showing gentle signs of previous wear consistent with vintage ownership.
Q: How should I care for this vintage Chanel bag? A: Store it upright in a breathable pouch or dust bag, lightly stuffed to help maintain its shape. Avoid overfilling, prolonged sunlight, humidity, and contact with rough or colour-transfer-prone surfaces. For routine care, wipe gently with a soft dry cloth and avoid harsh cleaning products.
Q: Is this an authentic vintage Chanel bag? A: A Retro Tale specialises in authenticated luxury vintage accessories, and this piece has identifying details consistent with a Chanel bag from the 2010–2011 period, including its serial number format. As with all pre-owned Chanel purchases, authenticity is assessed through a combination of serial details, craftsmanship, materials, hardware, and overall construction.
