Hi Sinny1, I wasn't into flaps at first either, but they really grew on me and now I have a reissue, a jumbo and a slouchy large double flap! The size Ashley has is a jumbo, which is the largest size in the classic flaps (in the reissues, there is also a size 228, which is the largest reissue and bigger than a jumbo). The smallest flap I think is a mini flap and I'm not sure of the price, but take a look in the reference library, I'm sure all that info is there. :yes:

The smallest size in the timeless classic flap series is the mini-flap, followed by East-West, Small, Medium/Large, and Jumbo. The mini-flap (in caviar) just had a price increase from $1395 to $1725 (or was it $1750, last 2 digits I don't recall precisely but it was $1725 or higher). I thought that one wouldn't go up as part of last month's price increase but unfortunately it did.....I love how chic the mini-flap looks when on but a $1,7xx price tag for a bag that tiny is hard to swallow. E-W flap (caviar version) is now priced at around $1750 too.

I can't get over this photo! A classic Chanel with flip flops???????? Come on!!!! I live in the land of casual (Miami) but I think this is really bad taste - I know, to each his own and all that -

I really do want a flap now, but yikes price kind of high for the smallest one. Hmm about Ashley Tisdale i think her style is very casual and comfy, which is how i am so i have no problem with it. I have always wanted the Medallion tote, and when i saw Lauren Conrad pulling off her outfit with the Medallion and flip flops, i knew it was perfect for me too! Although i do admit, having some great flats or other shoes is even better. I guess im just a girl who loves to be comfy:yes:

i have to admit too.. i wasn't all about the flaps when i first got into chanel. i was allllll about cambon (duh haha) and the luxe ligne. but nowwww i absolutely LOVEEEEEEE the classic flaps. i don't know.. they just really started to grow on me
personally, i really like the mini flap. just because it's so cute and i also don't carry much stuff with me anyway

I was not into classic flap and I am pleased to say that I am still not into classic flap!!!I still love my Cambon reporter and my other seasonal Chanel bags.

I went to my local Chanel boutique to do some last minute Christmas shopping on Christmas eve and of course it's full of people. BUT (and I ain't kidding here) every lady in the shop was carrying jumbo classics!! Some in caviar, some in lambskin, some in blue, some in white, some with silver h/w, some with gold h/w!!!! Sometimes it is difficult to ignore the power of the celebrities!

As for me, I still have no desire to get a classic flap. I have tweed flaps though. Tweed flaps are nice. (Chanel tweed is nice!)

Oh, are my tweed flaps, pink flap and hybrid with MM lock considered classic flaps? Hope not........:sweatdrop:

I'm a flap freak....i love flap bags.....i do have a tweed flap, e/w flap and MB reissue 227.....but i'm not goin to stop here, still goin to add 3 more flaps to my chanel collection....hehe

Anyway, i'm also fell in love with the mini flap lately....thinkin of addin one as well.

me too, i love how you can put it as messenger style! I want a lil purse, because my Medallion is like medium size for me ( im pretty petite), i think having a little one like the mini would be perfect when i dont want to carry a lot, and feel free to roam through the stores!

i feel like the mini may be bit too small. I had the Small Flap in black caviar and I really felt that I couldn't fit anything in there. I have a ziparound wallet and it wouldn't fit in the flap which made it troublesome in terms of usage. If you have a compact wallet, I think small would be better than mini. But if you have a big wallet like I do then definitely do not get the small.
