Very Good Condition
This vintage Chanel Small Boy Bag in navy quilted velvet with leather trim and silver-tone hardware is in very good condition. Featuring a chain and leather shoulder strap, tonal lining and push-lock closure, it is ideal for dinner dates, events or adding a polished edge to everyday 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 Small Velvet Boy Bag? A: With measurements of 20 x 12 x 6 cm, this small structured bag is best for compact daily essentials. It should comfortably fit a phone, card holder or slim wallet, keys, lipstick and a few small extras. Bulkier items such as a full-size wallet or hard sunglasses case may be a tight fit.
Q: Can this bag be worn crossbody? A: Yes. The listed strap measurements are 29/54 cm, so it can be worn shorter on the shoulder or longer on the shoulder and, for many people, crossbody. The exact fit will depend on your height and proportions, and it may sit higher on some frames.
Q: Is the Small Boy a good everyday size? A: It works very well as an essentials bag for day-to-evening use. It is ideal if you carry only the basics and want a compact, polished silhouette, but it is not designed as a roomy carry-all.
Q: Will a modern smartphone fit inside? A: In most cases, yes. The Small Boy size usually suits most standard smartphones, especially without a very bulky case. As the bag is structured, extra-large phones or thick cases can reduce the remaining space for other items.
Q: What does the serial number tell me about the bag? A: The serial number begins with 17, which places this piece in the 2012-2013 production era. This aligns with Chanel bags from the serial sticker period and helps date the bag alongside the rest of its details.
Q: How should I care for the velvet and leather trim? A: Velvet should be handled gently and kept away from rain, moisture and rough surfaces that may rub the pile. Avoid overfilling the bag, and store it upright in its dust bag with light stuffing to help maintain its shape. For surface dust, use a very soft dry cloth or brush, and for stains or deeper cleaning, it is best to consult a handbag specialist.
Q: What is the interior layout of this bag? A: This bag features a tonal lining, one internal pocket and a push-lock closure. It also has silver-tone hardware and a chain-and-leather strap, giving it the structured look the Boy line is known for.
Q: What condition is this bag in? A: It is listed in very good condition overall. The exterior shows minor rubbing on the corners and some stains, the interior has light traces of use with a few scratches on the leather, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches.
Q: What is included with this item? A: According to the product information, this bag comes with a dust bag and serial number. If something is not listed in the product information, it should not be assumed to be included.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is checked by specialists using a combination of material, construction, hardware, serial details and overall consistency checks. We stand behind the authenticity of the items we sell.
