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 Chanel Classic Mini Square? A: As its name suggests, the Mini Square is a compact, boxy companion designed for absolute essentials. It typically holds a standard-sized smartphone (e.g., iPhone Pro, Samsung Galaxy S series), a cardholder or small compact wallet, keys, lipstick and perhaps a small compact mirror or AirPods case. Due to the approximate 16.5 cm width, Max/Plus-sized phones often do not fit or require forcing, which we do not recommend. Please refer to the Measurements on this page or contact us for a tailored fit check for your specific device.
Q: Is the chain strap adjustable? Can I wear it crossbody? A: The interwoven chain and leather strap is not adjustable, but it can be shortened by tying a ribbon or using a strap clip inside the flap. With a drop of approximately 50 cm, it can be worn as a high crossbody on many wearers or comfortably on the shoulder. Taller wearers may find it sits strictly at the waist or higher when worn crossbody. If you’d like to confirm how it sits on your frame, feel free to ask us for advice.
Q: What is the difference between the Square Mini and the Rectangular Mini? A: The main differences are shape and width. The Square Mini is boxier and slightly taller but narrower (approx. 17 cm wide) than the Rectangular Mini (approx. 20 cm wide). While the Rectangular Mini accommodates larger phones more easily, many collectors prefer the Square for its distinct, charming silhouette. This specific listing is the Square Mini.
Q: Is this a Single Flap or Double Flap bag? A: The Chanel Mini (both Square and Rectangular) is traditionally a Single Flap bag. This construction makes it lighter and slightly more spacious relative to its size compared to the Double Flap Classics, allowing for easier access to your belongings.
Q: How should I care for Black Patent Leather? A: Patent leather is durable and known for its high-gloss, glass-like finish, but it requires specific care. Avoid prolonged contact with other patent items or dark prints (like newspapers) to prevent colour transfer, although this is less visible on black. Keep the bag away from high humidity and extreme heat to prevent the finish from becoming sticky or cloudy over time. Wipe fingerprints or smudges gently with a soft, dry microfiber cloth.
Q: Where are the brand markings and how do you date this item? A: Authentic Chanel bags from this era feature a “CHANEL” and “Made in Italy” (or France) stamp inside. This piece includes a serial sticker with the code 17865446, which dates the bag to approximately 2013. We are happy to provide close-up photos of the stamps and serial sticker on request.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in-house experts using multi-point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, serial numbers and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide additional details or photos upon request.
Q: What accessories are included with this bag? A: This item includes its serial number tag. Any other original accessories (such as a dust bag, box or authenticity card) are only included if listed under the “Accessories” section. If you don’t see an item listed there, it is not included—feel free to contact us if you need clarification.
