Chanel Classic Mini Patent Rectangular Single Flap Bag
Perfect for evening plans, from cocktail parties and dinner dates to gallery openings, this mini bag offers effortless polish without overwhelming your outfit. Its compact silhouette keeps just the essentials at hand and moves seamlessly from day to night, making it a chic companion for weddings, theatre nights and refined city outings.
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 size and strap details of this Mini Rectangular Single Flap? A: The bag measures approximately 20 × 12 × 6 cm with an about 55 cm chain-and-leather strap. It can be worn on the shoulder or crossbody depending on your height and preference. The strap is not removable; you can shorten the drop by looping part of the chain under the flap.
Q: What typically fits inside this Mini Rectangular? A: It is compact but practical: a large smartphone (including most Pro/Max models placed horizontally), a cardholder or small compact wallet, keys, and a couple of small cosmetics. Slim sunglasses may fit without a bulky case. For best longevity, avoid overfilling to preserve the bag’s structure.
Q: Is this a single or double flap, and what’s the difference? A: This is a single flap Mini. Single flaps are lighter and offer slightly more usable space. Double flaps add an internal flap for extra structure and security but reduce interior capacity.
Q: Is the strap long enough for crossbody wear? A: Many Mini Rectangulars are designed with a crossbody-friendly drop. On this piece the drop is about 55 cm, which suits most wearers for crossbody; on taller frames it may sit higher on the torso. Try-on photos or measuring against a bag you own with a similar drop can help you gauge fit.
Q: When was this bag produced based on its serial number? A: The serial number 20623792 falls in Chanel’s 20-series, indicating production around 2014–2015 according to widely referenced date code charts. Please note that a serial number alone does not authenticate a bag; it helps indicate the likely production period.
Q: How should I care for the patent leather? A: Wipe gently with a soft, non‑pilling cloth. Avoid exposure to heat, direct sunlight, and moisture. Do not use oils, alcohol, or harsh cleaners, which can cloud or damage the patent finish. Store lightly stuffed in a breathable dust bag with the chain tucked to prevent impressions.
Q: Is patent leather prone to colour transfer or stickiness? A: Patent can pick up dye from darker materials (such as denim) with prolonged contact, and high heat/humidity can cause tackiness. Minimise risk by avoiding long contact with contrasting colours, keeping the surface clean and dry, and storing in a cool, well‑ventilated place.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information section. For this piece, it includes the serial number tag. If an item such as a dust bag or authenticity card is not mentioned there, it is not included—feel free to contact us for clarification.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes multi‑point inspection by our in‑house experts, including materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, and serials. We stand behind the authenticity of all items and are happy to provide further details on request.
Q: Any condition notes I should be aware of? A: The exterior shows very light signs of use. Inside there are scratches and scuffs on the lining with some cracking on the leather. The hardware is shiny with light scratches. Please review photos and the condition grading for full details.
