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 of the Small 19 and how does it compare within the 19 family? A: This piece measures approximately 26 × 16 × 8 cm with a top-handle drop of about 7 cm and a long strap drop of about 47 cm. Within the Chanel 19 family, the 26 cm flap is commonly referred to as the Small, though some guides label the same size as Medium; always rely on the measurements provided here for accuracy.
Q: How much does the Small 19 hold for daily use? A: It comfortably fits daily essentials such as a large smartphone, a compact wallet or cardholder, keys, lipstick, and sunglasses in a soft pouch. Inside there is a zipped pocket for small valuables, and the exterior slip pocket is handy for items you need to reach quickly, like travel cards or receipts.
Q: Can it be worn crossbody as well as on the shoulder? A: Yes. The Chanel 19 is designed with a long chain-and-leather strap for hands-free crossbody or shoulder wear, and a chain top handle for handheld styling. The strap on this size is a fixed length; please refer to the 47 cm drop noted above to gauge where it will sit on you.
Q: What are the signature hardware details on the 19? A: The 19 features mixed-metal finishes on the chain (silver, aged gold and ruthenium tones) and an oversized leather-laced CC turn-lock closure. These elements give the bag its modern look and make it easy to style with jewellery in different metal tones.
Q: What is the interior like on the 19 flap? A: The Chanel 19 flap typically has a fabric-lined interior with one zipped pocket, plus an exterior back slip pocket for quick access. This specific piece has red fabric lining with one internal zip pocket as noted in the product information.
Q: Is the leather delicate, and how should I care for it? A: The 19 is commonly crafted in lambskin or goatskin. Lambskin feels softer and more supple but can mark more easily; goatskin tends to be a bit more resistant and hold its shape better. Regardless of leather, avoid prolonged contact with moisture, hand sanitiser, oils and dark fabrics; store the bag loosely stuffed in its dust bag, and rest the chain away from the leather to prevent imprints.
Q: Does the Small 19 have an exterior pocket I can use for my phone? A: Yes. The Chanel 19 includes a rear slip pocket that many owners use for a smartphone or travel card. It is designed for quick access rather than bulky items.
Q: The serial number is 30359384. What does that mean? A: Chanel’s 30-series serial numbers generally correspond to around 2020–2021 production. Around 2021, Chanel began transitioning from serial stickers/cards to microchips, so a 30-series bag like this one typically predates that change. Please note that serial numbers indicate an approximate period rather than an exact date.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything that comes with the bag is listed under the product information on this page. Inclusions can vary by piece, so please review that section or contact us if you need clarification.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this bag? A: Every item is meticulously inspected by our in-house experts using multi-point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and serial details. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to share additional product information or photographs on request.
