Chanel vintage mini classic flap white lambskin – pre-owned

This beautiful Chanel vintage mini classic flap in white lambskin is a timeless and elegant vintage Chanel bag dating from 1989-1991. The bag is crafted from white lambskin and features the iconic quilted matelassé pattern, the signature CC turnlock closure and a 24k gold-plated shoulder chain interwoven with leather. The combination of the light lambskin and gold-tone hardware gives this vintage Chanel mini flap a classic and luxurious appearance.

The Chanel classic flap is one of the fashion house’s most recognisable designs. This compact vintage version features a single-flap construction and the much-loved size of approximately 20 cm. Thanks to the long chain, the bag can be worn comfortably over the shoulder or crossbody. This makes the Chanel vintage mini classic flap perfect for carrying your essentials to a lunch, dinner, evening out or special occasion.

The bag measures approximately 20 cm wide, 15 cm high and 6 cm deep, with a chain length of around 114 cm. This makes it ideal to wear both as a crossbody bag and as a shoulder bag. A longer chain like this is relatively uncommon on vintage Chanel bags, as many older models were designed with shorter shoulder chains.

The interior is beautifully clean and features a zippered pocket, two additional compartments and the iconic lipstick pocket. Despite its compact size, the bag offers enough space for your most important everyday essentials.

The bag is in good vintage condition, with signs of wear consistent with its age and use. The white lambskin shows marks, creasing and wear, and several areas have been recoloured white in the past. This includes parts of the exterior, the corners and the leather woven through the shoulder chain.

The gold-tone hardware shows scratches and some light discolouration, but overall it has retained its beautiful gold appearance. The bag also has a noticeable storage odour. This scent can be detected when opening and using the bag and is therefore clearly mentioned. Please take this into consideration before purchasing.

Despite these signs of wear, this remains a special vintage Chanel mini classic flap with a beautiful and timeless appearance. Please also review all photos carefully for a complete impression of the condition.

This Chanel vintage mini classic flap is a 1-series bag dating from approximately 1989-1991. The bag comes with the original Chanel authenticity card, an Entrupy certificate of authenticity, a Purse Curse dustbag and a Purse Curse bag holder.

The bag is shipped free of charge, registered and insured within Europe. It is also possible to view or collect the bag by appointment at our showroom in Venlo.
