questions about reissues

[#1chanellover]

ok i thought that the reissues were made from aged calfskin? I have seen large flap bags with the m/m lock and classic chain with regular lambskin. But does chanel make the flap bag with m/m lock regular lambskin with the reissue chain? Am i making sense?

So far I've only seen m/m lock with leather interwoven chain and bijoux chain, never paired with the reissue chain.

I understand your confusion =) There are so many variations.

Not all reissues are done in calfskin, no. The Anniversary reissues (2005) that I own are distressed lambskin, for example. The new reissues coming out for spring (metallic purple, navy, red, green, silver, black, etc.) will be in aged calfskin though (metallic calfskin in the case of most). The large and Jumbo flaps with the MM lock and "old" chain are "hyrbid" flaps - neither a reissue, nor a regular classic flap! Hope that helps a bit!
