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 in the Classic Small Double Flap? A: With measurements of approximately 23 × 14 × 6 cm, it comfortably holds a standard smartphone, a small cardholder or compact wallet, keys, lipstick, and other slim essentials. Bulky items like a water bottle, long sunglasses case, or large cosmetics are unlikely to fit. Capacity varies with how you pack—please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: Can I wear this size crossbody? A: The interwoven chain can be worn doubled on the shoulder with an approximate 24 cm drop, or single for a longer 43 cm drop. On many frames, single-strap wear sits high when worn crossbody; most people find the Small best suited to shoulder carry. Fit will vary by height and build—please check the strap measurements shown here.
Q: What does “double flap” mean and why does it matter? A: The Small is a double-flap design: beneath the outer flap is a second interior flap that adds structure, helps the bag keep its shape, and provides extra security for contents. It also creates that iconic silhouette, though it slightly reduces usable interior space compared with single-flap models.
Q: Will a modern smartphone fit inside? A: Yes, most standard-sized smartphones fit comfortably, especially when carried without a bulky case. Oversized phones or thick cases can be tight under the double flap, so we recommend comparing your device to the internal measurements and packing slimmer items elsewhere in the bag.
Q: How does lambskin compare to caviar leather for daily use? A: Lambskin has a smooth, plush finish that looks luxurious but can show scratches and corner wear more readily than caviar’s pebbled grain. Many light surface marks on lambskin can be gently buffed, while caviar tends to be more forgiving for frequent, hands-free wear. Choose based on your lifestyle and care preferences.
Q: Any care tips for beige lambskin? A: Keep it away from moisture and prolonged light, and store loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag to maintain shape. Avoid contact with dark denim or saturated fabrics that may cause colour transfer. If the leather picks up minor marks, a gentle circular buff with a soft, clean cloth can help. For deep cleaning or colour-transfer issues, seek a professional bag spa.
Q: What does the serial number 6889896 indicate? A: This is a 6-series serial number, dating the piece to approximately 2000–2002. That places this bag in the early-2000s vintage period, consistent with its classic features and craftsmanship.
Q: What is included with this listing? A: Everything included is listed under the Product information section. For this item, the serial number tag is present. Items such as a dust bag, box, or authenticity card are included only if specifically stated in Product information.
Q: Is the chain strap adjustable or removable? A: The chain is not removable and does not have hardware for incremental adjustment. You can wear it doubled for a shorter shoulder carry or single for a longer drop, and you can shorten it temporarily by tucking part of the chain inside the bag, taking care not to imprint the leather.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes multi-point authentication by our in-house experts, including checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, and the serial number. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to provide additional photos or details on request.
