^^^^I have heard that....I have never seen a Chanel IRL, but have always wanted one....I do not now anything about the different styles, and decided to go for this one because i trusted the seller.....it is the biggest of the classic bags, I guess?
I have heard that you can tie down the straps inside the bag, and use it more like a big clutch, have seen pics of the bag carried this way.

Hi this is wayyy of topic but...I just got some of my daughter's new model portfolio pics, and what is missing from this is her first Chanel bag, (CHANEL Vintage DOUBLE FLAP ICON CHAIN BAG PURSE RARE) which is on its way from Japan as I type. Sorry to impose this on you, but I am so proud! (see how her left hand is curled? I don't have to photoship on a purse, she will actually own one!)

Just curious....

Maxi owners, can you fit A4 files in this bag?

robertsn6534 · Oct 7th, 2009, 04:56 AM

ladies I've got a question about the costumer jewellery in particular rings..none of them fit me unfortunately

but is there possibly a way to resize them at a jeweller? Is it worth it?

robertsn6534 · Oct 7th, 2009, 06:56 AM

^forgot to ask - whats the smallest size Chanel costume rings come in? Or are they all the same sz 7?

Hi everyone, I saw someone selling a 7 digits(on monogram sticker) Chanel Classic Flap M/L black Lambskin for US$2000, is that expensive?
And how do u relate the price with how many digits is there on the sticker?
Thanks ladies!

^ I think it depends on you. A mint black m/l lambskin flap runs around $1500-$1700 on ebay. I think $2K is overpriced because a new one retails for $2495. You're not really saving that much at that price. Personally, I would rather buy a new one or keep looking. You just have to be patient.

FYI: I think pricing depends on the condition of the bag, rarity (color, leather, style) of the bag, & how much you're willing to pay for a bag. The serial number only tells you approximately when the bag was made. Since this particular style hasn't really changed that much over the years, you can buy pre-owned & save $$$.

Does any one know what the name of the metal chain that is not the bijoux is called? I've got a bag from 08P that has this chain. Is it called the new chain? I just can't remember!!

can anyone tell me what size the biggest double flap bag is? (if that makes any sense)

I fell in love with the Paris Moscou Dimitri ring and it was unfortunately way too big for me as well! But the SA suggested I buy another cheap ring that fits and wear it over the too-big ring so it anchors/secures it in place. It works!

Does anyone think double or triple point event at Saks will be soon?

pilatesworks · Oct 15th, 2009, 02:10 PM
