Chanel Denim Pearl Crush Mini Rectangular Flap Bag

The compact silhouette and gold-tone accents elevate jeans, summer dresses or a sharp blazer, making it a chic choice for gallery openings, date nights and travel-light days.
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 the Chanel Denim Pearl Crush Mini Rectangular Flap Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 20 × 12 × 6.5 cm, it’s ideal for essentials: a large smartphone (including most Pro/Max models), a compact wallet or cardholder, keys, lipstick, wireless earbuds and a small cosmetics pouch. Slim sunglasses in a soft sleeve may fit diagonally; hard cases are usually too bulky. A5 notebooks and 500 ml water bottles do not sit upright. For a tailored fit check on your exact items, just ask and we’ll test this specific bag.
Q: Can I wear it crossbody and is the strap adjustable? A: Yes. The interwoven chain-and-leather strap features Chanel’s ‘Pearl Crush’ slider ball for quick length adjustment, so you can wear it on the shoulder or crossbody. This exact piece lists an approximate strap drop of 49 cm when extended; the slider lets you shorten it for a higher carry. Fit varies by height and layers—share your preferred drop and we’ll advise.
Q: How secure is the closure and what pockets does it have? A: It has the classic CC turn-lock single flap for everyday security and an external back pocket for tickets or travel cards. Mini Rectangular interiors typically include a slip pocket and a small zipped pocket; please refer to our photos for the exact layout of this denim edition. For commuting, we recommend using a small zip pouch inside for valuables.
Q: What exactly is the ‘Pearl Crush’ strap and how do I adjust it safely? A: The Pearl Crush is a quilted metal ball on the chain that acts as a slider to set your strap length. To adjust smoothly, ensure the chain isn’t twisted, then slide the ball along the chain to your preferred drop. Avoid yanking the strap; support the ball with one hand while adjusting. When worn shorter, some prefer to tuck the ball inside the bag to minimise swinging.
Q: What should I know about caring for denim bags? A: Denim is durable yet porous. Keep the bag away from heavy rain and damp surfaces; if lightly wet, blot (don’t rub) with a soft cloth and allow to air‑dry away from heat. Be mindful of colour transfer in both directions—indigo from the bag onto light clothing and dyes from dark garments onto the bag—especially with friction or moisture. Dust with a soft brush and avoid harsh chemicals or aggressive waterproofing sprays; if you choose to use a protector, test first on a discreet area.
Q: Will the denim snag or lose shape? A: As a woven fabric, denim can snag on sharp edges or rough jewellery—take care around abrasive surfaces. Don’t overfill; keeping contents low‑profile helps the bag retain its silhouette. Store it lightly stuffed, upright, and in a breathable dust bag to maintain shape.
Q: What materials and hardware does this piece have, and where is it made? A: This bag is crafted in blue quilted denim with gold‑tone hardware, a blue textile lining and the adjustable chain strap with the ‘Pearl Crush’ ball. The interior label indicates Made in Italy. Natural variations in weave and gentle signs of wear are normal for a pre‑loved denim piece.
Q: Does it come with an authenticity card? What does the serial number tag mean? A: Chanel transitioned from visible serial stickers/authenticity cards to embedded microchips around 2021. Earlier pieces typically have an internal serial sticker; newer microchipped pieces do not include a card. This specific listing notes an internal serial number tag under “Accessories.” If a card or box isn’t mentioned there, it isn’t included—feel free to ask and we’ll confirm.
Q: Is the Pearl Crush Mini Rectangular still produced? What about the denim version? A: Pearl Crush minis have been released across multiple seasons, with materials and colours varying by collection. Boutique availability fluctuates and denim editions are produced in select seasons, so the pre‑loved market is often the best way to find specific configurations like this blue denim piece.
Q: How do you authenticate and what else is included? A: Everything included with this exact bag is listed under “Accessories.” At A Retro Tale, every item undergoes rigorous multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts—assessing materials, stitching, hardware, stamps/serial sticker format or microchip era indicators, and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of every piece we sell.
