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 Rectangular Single Flap? A: Despite its compact size (approx. 20 × 12 × 6.5 cm), it comfortably holds daily essentials such as a smartphone, small wallet or cardholder, keys, and a few cosmetics. A long continental wallet will not fit. Packing with slim items maximises space and helps maintain the bag’s shape.
Q: Will my smartphone (including larger models) fit in this Mini Rectangular? A: Most standard smartphones fit; larger models like iPhone Pro Max generally fit with a slim case, though it can be snug. Because cases vary, please compare your phone’s dimensions to the internal space and avoid overfilling to protect the lambskin and structure.
Q: Can I wear it crossbody? What is the strap drop on this piece? A: Yes, the Mini Rectangular is designed to be worn on the shoulder or crossbody. This specific piece has an approximate 60 cm strap drop. Chanel minis typically have a drop around 56–58 cm, but it can vary by production run; crossbody placement will depend on your height and torso length.
Q: Is the Mini Rectangular a single or double flap? A: All Chanel Mini Classic Flap bags (both rectangular and square) are single flap. The single-flap construction helps keep the bag lighter and slightly more spacious for its size.
Q: Is this considered vintage and is the hardware 24k gold-plated? A: The serial number on this bag begins with 20, dating it to approximately 2015–2016. At over 10 years old in 2026, it can be considered vintage. Chanel discontinued 24k gold-plated hardware in 2008, so the gold-tone hardware on this piece is not 24k plated.
Q: How does the rectangular Mini compare to the square Mini? A: The rectangular Mini generally has a slightly longer strap drop and a more elongated interior, making it easier to fit a phone and organise essentials. The square Mini is a touch boxier with a marginally shorter strap drop and usually carries a bit less.
Q: Any care tips for the black lambskin and gold-tone hardware? A: Lambskin is supple and should be treated gently. Avoid overfilling, prolonged contact with dark or light colours that may transfer, and exposure to moisture, sunlight, or heat. Wipe with a soft, dry cloth only. For storage, wrap the chain to prevent imprints and keep the bag upright in a breathable pouch. Seek professional care for deep cleaning.
Q: Does the chain shorten for shoulder carry? A: Yes. You can wear it as a shoulder bag by doubling the chain inside the flap to shorten the drop, or as a long-shoulder/crossbody by wearing the chain at full length. Take care not to pinch the leather when adjusting the chain.
Q: What does the serial number sticker indicate, and does this bag have a microchip? A: Chanel used serial number stickers to indicate production period up to 2021, after which the brand moved to microchips. A 20-series sticker dates this piece to around 2015–2016, so it has a serial sticker rather than a microchip.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under Accessories. For this piece, it comes with the serial number tag. If an item like a dust bag or authenticity card is not listed, it is not included—feel free to contact us for confirmation.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this bag? A: Every item is carefully vetted by our in-house experts using multi-point checks of materials, stitching, quilting, hardware, stamps, and serial coding, supported by specialist tools and industry knowledge. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to provide additional details on request.
