Product Description
This Chanel Classic Mini Single Flap Bag in beige quilted lambskin leather with gold-tone hardware offers timeless vintage appeal. In very good condition, it features a chain-link and leather shoulder strap, tonal leather lining, and the iconic CC turn-lock closure. Ideal for lunch dates, evening events, or adding a refined touch to everyday looks.
Q: What typically fits inside this Chanel Classic Mini Single Flap Bag? A: This is a compact mini bag designed for small essentials. With approximate measurements of 14 x 10 x 4.5 cm, it is best suited to items such as cards, folded notes, keys, lipstick, and other small daily necessities. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for the exact size of this specific piece.
Q: Can this bag be worn on the shoulder or crossbody? A: This bag has a chain-link and leather shoulder strap with an approximate strap drop of 55 cm. For most wearers, that makes it well suited to shoulder wear, and it may also sit as a shorter crossbody depending on height and proportions.

Delivery & Returns

With approximate measurements of 14 x 10 x 4.5 cm, it is best suited to items such as cards, folded notes, keys, lipstick, and other small daily necessities. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for the exact size of this specific piece.
Q: Can this bag be worn on the shoulder or crossbody? A: This bag has a chain-link and leather shoulder strap with an approximate strap drop of 55 cm. For most wearers, that makes it well suited to shoulder wear, and it may also sit as a shorter crossbody depending on height and proportions.
Q: Is this a single flap or double flap style? A: This is the Single Flap version. That means it has one main flap closure rather than the more structured double-flap construction seen on some other Classic Flap styles, helping keep the bag lighter and easier to access.
Q: What materials and details does this bag feature? A: This piece is crafted in beige quilted lambskin leather and finished with gold-tone hardware. It features a chain-link and leather shoulder strap, tonal leather lining, and the signature CC turn-lock flap closure.
Q: What is the condition of this bag? A: The overall condition is rated Very Good. The exterior shows some scuffing on the corners and edges, the inside of the flap has marks, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. As this is a vintage item, light signs of use are to be expected and are part of its character.
Q: What product information is included with this item? A: This bag comes with a serial number tag. Everything included is listed under the product information section, so if another accessory is not mentioned there, it is not included with this item.
Q: What does the serial number series indicate? A: The serial number is listed as 1******, which dates this bag to approximately 1989 to 1991. This places it within the early vintage Chanel serial sticker era and supports the period of production shown on this page.
Q: Is lambskin delicate, and how should I care for it? A: Lambskin is prized for its soft, luxurious feel, but it is more delicate than grained leathers and can show scratches or rubbing more easily. To care for it, handle it gently, avoid prolonged contact with moisture, heat, and dark fabrics, and wipe it with a soft cloth only. Store it upright, lightly stuffed, and away from direct sunlight to help preserve its shape and finish.
Q: How do you authenticate a vintage Chanel bag like this? A: At A Retro Tale, every item is carefully vetted for authenticity by specialists who assess details such as materials, construction, hardware, stamps, and serial features. For this piece, the serial number range, design details, and overall craftsmanship all form part of the authentication process.
