It's a size small. I've only worn it a couple times so far, so I havent had enough time to see if it shows wear easily on the bottom corners or the straps yet. I'm hoping the grained calfskin will hold up better than the smooth lambskin version though. Con is that it's a big black hole so you need to spend extra money on an organizer to put inside to be able to find your stuff easily. Also, for the price, the inside should be leather, not cloth. Otherwise, I'm loving it so far as a daily, casual and carefree bag.
Thank you so much for your response. It's so nice to get first hand honest reviews before making a purchase. I think you were very wise to go with the grained calfskin especially for daily use. Fingers crossed I will be able to find one.
 
Beyond beyond beyond excited to share my purchase I made last week on Fashionphile. It might be basic for most but I remember pining for this since I was 13. It was $5000 when I got my first big girl job but I just couldn't justify it, kept thinking I will get it eventually. Then the pandemic hit and I was unable to find it anywhere near me. Then the prices kept rising and rising until it got to a point where I just couldn't justify the price. However I was able to find a preloved one in excellent condition at a great price, so I had to pull the trigger. Beyond excited for my Chanel Classic Flap Medium size in Lambskin and gold hardware. I am a happy girl tonight:smile:

I don't think it will be too hard to find. They had 2 at my local Chanel, and that location is smaller and doesn't seem to carry as much inventory. Looking forward to being bag twins soon!

Congratulations! The classic flap is THATS bag. I have the Maxi and would love to have a medium in lambskin with gold hardware. The classic flap is the one handbag that I will never part with.
