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 can I fit inside the Small Just Mademoiselle Bowling Bag? A: With approximate dimensions of 28 × 16 × 9 cm (about 11 × 6.3 × 3.5 in), it comfortably fits a smartphone, continental wallet, keys, sunglasses and a slim cosmetics pouch. A small tablet up to around 8 inches may fit depending on the case; please compare with the Measurements on this page to be sure.
Q: How can I wear it—does the strap work cross-body? A: The dual chain-and-leather straps have an approximate 19 cm (about 7.5 in) drop. It is designed for the shoulder or the crook of the arm; the drop is not long enough for cross‑body wear and is not adjustable.
Q: How does the bag close and what is the interior layout? A: It features a top magnetic snap closure. Inside, a centre zip compartment divides two open sections, making it easy to organise everyday essentials.
Q: Which year is this piece from and is the Just Mademoiselle line still produced? A: The serial number 15760085 indicates circa 2011. The Just Mademoiselle line appeared in Chanel’s 2010–2012 collections under Karl Lagerfeld and is now discontinued, which makes this a sought‑after past‑season style.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under product information. For this piece, a serial number tag is included. If an item such as a dust bag or authenticity card isn’t listed there, it is not included.
Q: Is patent leather suitable for daily use? A: Patent leather is relatively durable and moisture‑resistant, but its glossy finish can show fingerprints and is susceptible to colour transfer. Avoid prolonged contact with dark or non‑colourfast fabrics (especially denim) and other leathers, and do not overfill the bag to preserve its shape.
Q: How should I clean and store red patent leather? A: Wipe gently with a soft, slightly damp, lint‑free cloth and dry immediately. Do not use alcohol, acetone, or abrasive cleaners. Store the bag lightly stuffed to support its structure, in a breathable dust bag, away from heat, sunlight and humidity, and keep it from direct contact with other materials to prevent sticking or dye transfer.
Q: Where was this bag made? A: Italy, as indicated on the origin label.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes a multi‑point inspection by in‑house experts, including checks of materials, quilting, stitching, stamps, hardware and the serial number. We stand behind the authenticity of all items and can share additional details on request.
