Yeah, in early 2006 they introduced amongst others a black reissue with silver hardware, it was always my fav, and I finally got my hands on one (227 size) a few weeks ago. She was my first Chanel too.^^^Nope....sorry !!!
Do they make black reissues with silver ???
I have never actually compared the 227 reissue size to a jumbo classic flap, but I have a feeling the latter would fit more only because of the way the reissue is shaped, it is less pliable if that makes sense. However I am sure there are other members here that are more conversant in the subject than me and could help you more. I went for the 227 as the 228 was just too big for my size and I have found the 227 more than fits my needs. I only found it because designer307 mentionned to another pf member ambrosered that she had seen a grey reissue in the Saks (Chanel) store in Troy Michigan, I then called and asked one of the SAs there to do a locate for me for a black with silver as the grey they had was teeny. Anyway in the end I got one of my dream bags ! Good luck in finding yours!Yea! So it exists. How does the size compare to a jumbo classic flap?? And, did you see any others?
i found one!
but it's ebay, if you're willing to go for that.
