A chic choice for evenings out, this vintage Chanel CC Mini Vanity in black quilted leather with gold‑tone accents elevates cocktail hours, dinners and gallery openings.

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 fits inside the Chanel CC Mini Vanity Bag? A: With dimensions of approximately 15 × 9 × 10 cm, this Mini Vanity is a compact statement piece designed for absolute essentials. It comfortably holds keys, lipstick, a cardholder and AirPods. Due to the 15 cm exterior width and structured shape, most modern smartphones will not fit inside. We recommend comparing your specific items against the measurements provided.
Q: Can I wear it crossbody? A: Yes. The woven chain and leather strap has a drop of approximately 60 cm, which allows for crossbody or shoulder wear. It also features a single top handle with a 4 cm drop for hand carrying.
Q: What material is the bag made from? A: This vintage piece is crafted from black quilted lambskin leather, paired with gold-tone hardware. Lambskin is celebrated for its incredibly soft, smooth texture and luxurious finish.
Q: How do I care for vintage lambskin? A: Lambskin is delicate and can be prone to scratches or pressure marks. Keep the bag away from moisture, oils and abrasive surfaces. To maintain its structured vanity shape, store it upright and lightly stuffed in a breathable dust bag when not in use. Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth if needed.
Q: How secure is the closure? A: The bag features a full zip-around closure, keeping your valuables secure while allowing the lid to open completely for easy visibility of the interior.
Q: How is this item dated and authenticated? A: This bag features a serial number (0xxxxxx series), indicating it was produced in the late 1980s (approx. 1986–1988). It includes the matching authenticity card and serial number tag. At A Retro Tale, every item undergoes a rigorous multi-point inspection by our in-house experts to guarantee authenticity.
Q: What accessories are included? A: This item includes an authenticity card and a serial number tag. Any other accessories (such as a dust bag or box) are only included if explicitly listed under the “Accessories” section on this page.
