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 will typically fit inside this Chanel Mini Chevron Flap Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 16 x 14.5 x 6 cm, this bag is best for compact essentials such as a slim phone, card holder, keys, lipstick and a few small personal items. It is not designed for bulkier items such as a long wallet, water bottle or tablet. Please compare your own essentials with the Measurements on this page if you carry larger pieces.
Q: Can this bag be worn crossbody? A: The strap drop is approximately 44 cm, so this style is generally best worn on the shoulder. On some petite frames it may sit as a shorter crossbody, but on most people it will wear more naturally as a shoulder bag.
Q: What are the key features of this bag? A: This vintage Chanel style features black chevron quilted leather, gold-tone hardware, a single leather shoulder strap, red leather lining, one internal pocket and a CC turn-lock closure. It is labelled as made in France.
Q: What condition is this bag in? A: The overall condition is very good. The exterior shows light traces of use with some minor marks, dents and scratches on the base. The interior has light wear with minor scratches, and the hardware remains shiny with light surface scratches.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is shown in the product information. For this bag, the serial number is present. An authenticity card, box or other extras are not listed in the product information, so they should not be expected unless confirmed separately.
Q: Is a mini Chanel flap practical for day-to-day use? A: A mini flap is ideal if you prefer to travel light. It works well for lunches, dinners, events, city outings and light daily use, but it is not intended for carrying many items throughout the day. If you usually carry more than the essentials, a larger bag may be more practical.
Q: How should I care for vintage chevron quilted leather? A: Store it lightly stuffed in a breathable dust bag, keep it away from prolonged sunlight, heat and moisture, and avoid overfilling it as this can affect the shape. Wipe it gently with a soft dry cloth after use and take extra care with the corners, base and flap edges.
Q: Does chevron quilting show wear easily? A: Like most structured mini flap styles, chevron quilting can remain elegant with careful use, but vintage leather may show creasing, corner wear or base marks over time, especially if the bag is overstuffed or rubbed frequently. This example already has some minor marks and scratches noted in the condition report, so gentle use is recommended.
Q: How do you verify authenticity on a vintage Chanel bag? A: At A Retro Tale, vintage Chanel pieces are reviewed using details such as construction, materials, stitching, hardware, interior finishing and serial numbering. We only sell items we believe to be authentic, and the listed serial number for this bag is 2974764.
