Very Good Condition
This vintage Chanel Classic Mini Lady Bug Single Flap Bag in pink quilted leather with silver-tone hardware is presented in very good condition. Featuring an interwoven chain and leather shoulder strap with charms, beige logo jacquard lining and a CC turn-lock closure, it is a charming choice for spring events, lunch dates or adding a playful accent to evening looks.
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 this Chanel Classic Mini Lady Bug Single Flap Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 15 x 9 x 4.5 cm, this bag is best suited to very small essentials such as cards, folded notes, keys, lipstick and other compact items. Because it is smaller than a standard Chanel mini flap, most larger smartphones and bulky wallets are unlikely to fit comfortably. Please compare the measurements with your own essentials before purchasing.
Q: Will a phone fit inside? A: This depends on the size of your phone, but due to the compact 15 cm width, this style is generally better for very small phones or slim items rather than larger modern smartphones. If phone fit is important to you, we recommend comparing your handset dimensions with the measurements shown on this page.
Q: Can this bag be worn on the shoulder or crossbody? A: The interwoven chain and leather strap measures approximately 59 cm. For many people this works well on the shoulder and may also sit crossbody depending on height and styling preference. As with most vintage minis, the exact fit will vary from person to person.
Q: What does single flap mean? A: Single flap means the bag has one main flap rather than the double-flap construction seen on some larger Chanel Classic Flaps. This usually makes the bag lighter, easier to access and especially practical in a compact mini format.
Q: What makes the Lady Bug version special? A: This piece combines Chanel’s classic quilted flap look with a more playful collector feel. It features pink quilted leather, silver-tone hardware and an interwoven chain and leather strap with charms, giving it a distinctive vintage character while keeping the recognisable CC turn-lock design.
Q: When was this bag made? A: The serial number begins with 8, which corresponds to the 2003 to 2004 production period. For Chanel bags from this era, the serial number is an important dating clue and is considered alongside materials, hardware, lining and overall craftsmanship during authentication.
Q: Does this bag come with an authenticity card? A: No authenticity card is listed among the included items for this specific bag. The included items are a dust bag and serial number. If an accessory is not listed in the product information, it should not be assumed to be included.
Q: What is the condition of this bag? A: The overall condition is very good. The exterior shows light traces of use with minor scuffs on the corners, the interior shows light trace of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. Please review the photos and product information for the best understanding of its current condition.
Q: How should I care for this vintage Chanel bag? A: Store it in its dust bag, lightly stuffed to help maintain its shape, and keep it away from prolonged sunlight, heat, humidity and rough surfaces. Clean gently with a soft dry or slightly damp cloth, and avoid overfilling it, as vintage leather and corners can mark more easily over time.
Q: How do you authenticate Chanel bags? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully checked by specialists using a multi-point review of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, serial details and overall construction. The serial number is helpful, but authenticity is never judged on the number alone.
