I'm being offered a beige caviar cosmetic bag with chain. It is super cute and measures 6" long. Want to weigh on the experts here as I've never bought such a mini bag except for the Kelly 20. I know that I can probably put a small CC wallet, a lipstick and a pack of tissue and have to hold my phone. It is expensive for a small bag for <$3K but the only thing I like is the length of the chain. I used to have a mini and the chain was too long for my short torso.

Would love to see pics! Well sounds like it fits all the essentials. I bought the Business Affinity WOC clutch in February and though its a spacious bag has a few compartments for its size, it does not fit my Iphone 13 Max... .Have you tried the bag on?

I believe this is a Vanity Case, I was picturing a cosmetics pouch lol

I tried it on, it projects further from my body than I like for my needs. I prefer WoCs and minis personally.

If you use the word “vanity” in a search I think you’ll find great info!

I have this in the 22c light beige and it's cute and fits a lot. However I also find it kind of sticks out from my body too much for crossbody wear. If you like to wear your bags over one shoulder then it's pretty nice. I think it'd be best if you try it on and see for yourself though. But it's a good price for the size as it will fit more than a woc and cost less. Many of the other Chanel mini/micro bags cost similar or more and hold way less.

Thanks everyone for your advice. I think that it is best that I try it to see if it is sticks out too much. Wish that it has a handle as I can see some difficulty in opening the zipper. I've an iphone 13 so will not fit for sure so that means I've to get something else to wear around my neck.

I have the original version of this bag without the mirror. Chanel shorten the body of the bag when they updated this version with the mirror. The original version I have a note ultra 20 phone and with a thin case this phone fits on a slant in this bag.

My 12 pro max fits diagonally. Vanity with chain is so pretty! Not a daily bag for me but fun for a night out. I like to tie a knot in the chain to really shorten it and just hand carry it dangling.
