Its compact silhouette and classic chain strap make it an effortless companion from ceremony to after-party, carrying just the essentials with timeless ease.
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 dimensions and strap drop of this Mini Rectangular? A: This piece measures approximately 20 × 12 × 6 cm with an around 60 cm chain-and-leather strap drop as listed. The Mini Rectangular is designed with a single flap and a longer strap than the Mini Square, making it easy to wear crossbody or on the shoulder.
Q: Is the Mini Rectangular a single or double flap? A: It is a single flap by design. Inside you will find a compact main compartment with a zipped pocket and a slip pocket, plus an external slip pocket on the back for small, flat items.
Q: What typically fits inside? A: Everyday essentials such as a smartphone, cardholder or small wallet, keys, lipstick and a few small items fit comfortably. It will not take a long continental wallet, and bulky sunglass cases are best swapped for a slim pouch to maximise space.
Q: Will a larger smartphone fit? A: Most larger smartphones fit, especially in a slim case. For best results, place the phone upright or at a slight angle and avoid overfilling the bag so the flap closes smoothly.
Q: Can the strap be adjusted or removed? A: The strap is not removable and has a fixed length. You can wear it single for crossbody or double it for a shorter shoulder carry. Some owners use clip-in shorteners, but we recommend avoiding anything that could mark the leather or hardware.
Q: What does the serial number 27804521 indicate? A: A 27-series Chanel serial number indicates production around 2019–2020. Chanel moved to embedded microchips from 2021 onwards, so pre-2021 bags like this originally came with a serial sticker and typically an authenticity card. Included accessories vary by item—please refer to this listing (this bag includes a serial number tag).
Q: How should I care for beige lambskin leather? A: Lambskin is soft and can mark more easily than grained leathers. Keep it away from rough surfaces, sharp objects and moisture; wipe with a soft, dry cloth only. Store upright in a breathable dust bag, loosely stuffed to maintain shape, and wrap the chain to prevent imprints on the leather. Avoid prolonged contact with dark denim and saturated fabrics to reduce colour transfer.
Q: How do I minimise corner wear and creasing on a Mini? A: Do not overfill the bag, rotate carry to different sides, and place it on clean, smooth surfaces. When storing, support the corners with tissue and keep the chain off the leather to prevent pressure marks on the quilting.
Q: Is this item made in Italy? A: Yes. The country of origin label states Italy for this specific piece.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes multi-point authentication by our in-house experts, including inspection of leather, stitching, hardware, brand stamps and serial details. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can share further photos or details on request.
