A chic choice for evening engagements—from cocktail parties to gallery openings—this vintage Chanel Classic Mini Square Single Flap in black quilted patent leather with gold-tone hardware elevates any look. Compact yet practical, it’s ideal for dinner dates, weddings and refined celebrations.
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 Classic Mini Square Single Flap? A: With measurements of approximately 17 × 12 × 6 cm, it comfortably holds a compact smartphone (up to about 15 × 7 cm without a case), a slim cardholder, keys, lipstick and small essentials. The interior zipped pocket suits flat items like receipts, and the rear slip pocket can hold a travel card or ticket.
Q: Can I wear it crossbody and is the strap adjustable? A: Yes, the single interwoven leather-and-chain strap has an approximate drop of 52 cm on this piece, which most find suitable for crossbody or shoulder wear. The strap is not adjustable; you can temporarily shorten it by tucking part of the chain inside the bag, but avoid prolonged pressure on the patent leather to prevent imprints.
Q: Is this a single or double flap, and what is the difference? A: This is a single flap Mini. Chanel Mini Flap bags are single flap by design, making them lighter and easier to access than the double flap sizes (such as Medium and Jumbo).
Q: Will a large smartphone fit? A: Standard-sized phones generally fit when placed upright without a bulky case. Larger “Plus/Max/Ultra” phones around or above 16 cm in height may be too tall. Checking your phone’s dimensions against the bag’s measurements is the best guide.
Q: How should I care for the black patent leather? A: Wipe gently with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth after use. Keep away from heat and prolonged direct sunlight. Store loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag, with the chain wrapped to avoid surface marks. Avoid contact with dark denim and richly dyed fabrics to reduce the risk of colour transfer.
Q: Can colour transfer on patent leather be removed? A: Colour transfer on patent leather is widely reported to be difficult to remove completely. Specialist leather care may improve light marks, but prevention is best—limit friction against dark or untreated dyes and store the bag separately.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed in the product information on this page. For this piece, no extra items are noted; if something is not listed there, it is not included. We are happy to confirm specific details on request.
Q: What are the notable signs of wear on this bag? A: External condition is very good with light traces of use. The interior is very good with some scuffs and marks on the lining. Hardware remains shiny with light scratches, consistent with a cared-for vintage piece.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this Chanel bag? A: Every item is rigorously vetted by our in-house experts using multi-point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and construction. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can share additional details on request.
