To the ladies who own a 2.55 re-issue...

[joia]

Help..I'm really torn between getting either the re-issue in size 226 or size 227...

Could any of you kind ladies supplement the dimensions of the 226 or 227?

:s

You should walk into Taka, there's a small Chanel there and they have the velvet 2.55 in 225, 226 and 227. I tried it on for size and realised I wasn't really in love.

You weren't in love with the velvet? Which size do you think is the best?

I have the 226 reissue. It works for me because I do not carry alot of stuff. If you want to carry more than a wallet, cell phone, and a few small items, I would recommend the 227.

I have the 226 as well. It's perfect for me. I sent the 227 back because it felt to big on me.

I love my 227!
its starting to become more roomy as it softens

I like the 227 because you will never outgrow it. A bigger bag always comes in handy.

Agree!! I don't like my bags to feel stuffed to the gils and the 227 is a great size! I have the white with silver and my black with gold is on the way!!

Thanks for the info ladies..

Guess a 227 would be a better size for me as I already have the medium/large classic flap, and I find it a tad too small for me.

228 14" x 8.5"(approximate)-very big bag but I LOVE it!!
227 12.5" x 8.25"(approx.)(equivalent to the Jumbo flap)
It really depends on where you hold the tape measure as the flap has a crease on top but that is pretty close...

 

[ALLinTHEbag]

227 would be perfect! It's the same size as the jumbo flap and more giving because it is not so stiff.

I ended up getting a 228 reissue too and I love it. Its HUGE!! I love the look! I think BIG.

Thanks Julieanne for the dimensions.. Now i have a better idea

Joia, I've been lusting for a reissue in grey but I never really tried a reissue on until the day before when I walked into Chanel. I tried both the 225 and 226 on, but it just didn't impress me, not what I had expected. Maybe if I had tried on the grey, it would be different cos I think its the colour that I love.
For me 226 is a practical size, 227 looks big on me, so I guess it depends on your height, I'm quite short. Go try it out and see which size you prefer!

Thanks for the input Aurora..guess the suede re-issues didn't work for most people..that's why they're still left on the shelves after 2 months!
