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 measurements and strap drop of this Mini Rectangular? A: This piece measures approximately 20 × 12 × 7 cm with a strap drop of about 56 cm. It can be worn on the shoulder or crossbody; fit will vary slightly by height and torso length. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact figures.
Q: What typically fits inside? A: Daily essentials such as a smartphone, card holder or compact wallet, keys and a lipstick fit comfortably. Slim sunglasses may also fit if you pack thoughtfully. A long continental wallet is generally too large. Capacity depends on how you organise items—refer to the Measurements for guidance.
Q: Will a large smartphone fit (e.g., iPhone Pro/Pro Max)? A: Most larger smartphones fit, especially in a slim case. For the best fit, place the phone horizontally or screen-in to avoid catching the flap. Bulky cases may reduce interior space.
Q: Is the Mini Rectangular a single flap, and what are the benefits? A: Yes, the Mini Rectangular is designed as a single flap. Compared with double-flap sizes, it is lighter and a touch roomier relative to its footprint, making it practical for day-to-evening wear.
Q: Is the strap length suitable for crossbody wear? A: Many wearers find the Mini Rectangular comfortable crossbody. On this piece the strap drop is about 56 cm; on taller frames it may sit higher on the torso. Strap drops can vary slightly by season. If you prefer it shorter, you can temporarily tuck part of the chain inside the bag or use a discreet strap shortener—avoid arrangements that press the chain hard against the leather to prevent marks.
Q: How should I care for the lambskin leather, especially in a light pink colour? A: Keep it away from prolonged sunlight, moisture and oils. To minimise colour transfer, avoid rubbing against dark denim or saturated fabrics, particularly when new or damp. Wipe occasionally with a soft, dry cloth; avoid harsh cleaners or heavy conditioners on lambskin. Store in a breathable dust bag with light stuffing to maintain shape.
Q: How should I store the bag to avoid chain marks and creasing? A: Store upright in its dust bag, loosely stuffed with acid-free tissue. Wrap the chain in tissue or a soft cloth before tucking it inside so the metal does not press into the leather. Do not overfill the bag and avoid stacking heavy items on top.
Q: What does the serial number starting with 29 indicate? A: A 29-series serial number generally corresponds to production around 2019–2020. From 2021 onward, many Chanel bags moved from serial stickers to microchipped metal plates, so the presence of a serial sticker helps place the piece in that earlier window.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Please see the Product information section on this page for everything included. For this piece, the listing shows a serial number tag. Items such as an authenticity card, dust bag or box are included only if specifically stated in Product information.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this bag? A: Every item is inspected by our in-house experts using multi-point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, brand stamps and serial details. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to provide further product information on request.
