Very Good Condition
Carry this vintage Chanel Classic Chevron Mini Single Flap to an elegant dinner or cocktail party. In black chevron‑quilted leather with gold‑tone hardware and the signature CC turn‑lock, its interwoven leather‑and‑chain strap keeps it chic yet hands‑free. Compact and refined, it elevates day‑to‑night outfits with timeless Parisian glamour.
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 are the exact measurements and strap drop of this bag? A: This Chanel Classic Chevron Mini Single Flap measures approximately 20 × 12 × 6.5 cm with a strap drop of about 59 cm. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for confirmation.
Q: Is this the Mini Rectangular and does it have a single flap? A: Yes, this is the Mini Rectangular silhouette with a single flap. The single flap construction keeps the bag lighter and gives a touch more usable space relative to its size.
Q: What typically fits inside? A: Daily small essentials such as a smartphone, cardholder, keys, lipstick and a compact will fit. Larger or plus‑sized phones may fit snugly and may require placing them without a bulky case or at a slight angle. Capacity depends on how you pack.
Q: Can the chain be worn crossbody and is it adjustable? A: The interwoven leather‑and‑chain strap has a drop of about 59 cm, which works for most people as a crossbody or shoulder carry. The strap isn’t adjustable, but you can shorten it temporarily by looping a section of the chain under the flap inside the bag.
Q: What does the serial number 21945904 indicate? A: The 21‑series serial number dates this piece to approximately 2015–2016. Chanel moved from serial stickers to microchipped metal plates in 2021, so this mid‑2010s bag features a classic serial sticker inside.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information on this page. For this piece, a serial number tag is included. If an item like a dust bag or authenticity card isn’t listed there, it is not included.
Q: What is the condition of this bag? A: Very good overall with light signs of use. There is some creasing to the leather and the gold‑tone hardware remains shiny with light surface scratches. The interior shows light wear and is clean.
Q: What is the leather and how should I care for it? A: This piece is crafted in black chevron‑quilted leather with gold‑tone hardware. To care for it, wipe gently with a soft, dry microfiber cloth, avoid prolonged contact with moisture, oils or dark fabrics that may transfer colour, and store the bag loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag. Keep the chain tucked or cushioned when stored to prevent imprints on the leather.
Q: What is the difference between chevron and classic diamond quilting? A: Chevron quilting uses V‑shaped, diagonal lines that create a sleek, modern look, while the classic diamond pattern has intersecting lines that form diamonds. Both are Chanel signatures and the choice is mainly aesthetic rather than functional.
Q: Where was this bag made? A: This particular bag is stamped France. Chanel produces handbags in both France and Italy; both origins are authentic and reflect the brand’s craftsmanship standards.
