Hello chanel 22 lovers or haters :),
So I noticed interesting view based on my personal experience in past month or two. I happened to stop by chanel and there’s were quiet lot of inventory at store for chanel 22 bags. I also asked SA from another store about C 22 bag and she claimed they also have some left. Is it me starting to notice the hype about this bag kind of stating to phase out. Perhaps too early to tell…

I wonder if it’s the hype or the stories that have scared people off.

I think its because of the scary stories about the bag's quality. I still got one recently though in black/silver and started using it for my work. I love it so far and cannot make any comment on quality (too soon). It's so light weight and usable online my other chanel bags. I hope i dont regret my decision of purchasing it (against all the precautions)

I finally saw one in the wild this past weekend. Actually, my friend spotted it and pointed it out to me. I asked her opinion and she said it looked very thin (the leather) and not hardwearing/long-lasting. I felt the same upon seeing it. It looked comfortable though, probably b/c of the weight being light.

I just got this 22S rose clair small 22! It feels buttery soft, can't see any sort of cracking or peeling thus far but will report back if I do. I am 5'2 and feel this is a perfect size for my every day needs. I love how casual this bag is and feel more comfortable taking it around in public compared to my classic flaps. The color is suprisingly wearable and I like that I can turn the "CHANEL" logo letters towards my body if I feel like making this bag more under the radar. I like that I don't have to fish for my wallet and go through the trouble of undoing a CC clasp on a CF. I feel like this is just the type of everyday bag I needed in my collection! I did buy a pink samorga for my bag and really enjoy it giving my bag some structure without looking stiff. I don't carry a ton with me on a daily basis but I feel like this holds just enough. I use a different bag for my computer stuff anyways for work or classes.

Fashionably Amy did another video more recently on the Chanel 22 which compared thickness of leathers, and I would say this bag is made of a thicker and more plush leather than the thinner bags that she had mentioned, which appeared to be defective.

I bought the grey medium 22, and I don’t love it as much as I thought I would. I think the silver hardware is a bit underwhelming on this bag. Also, as a petite woman, I think I prefer the size of the small. Debating if I want to exchange for a small or try and find a navy with gold hardware…

The navy with gold hardware is my other favorite, I think that would be beautiful, esp in a small!❤

Love this grey color, goes well with many outfit. I'm medium build, struggle before getting a small or medium, finally using a small 22 is good for me.

Sorry to hear your bag is creating hesitations.... I personally think it’s beautiful and understated, and the color is a superb all year neutral.... I suggest you go with what your heart dictates you no matter what...

This is actually the prettiest color/hardware combo I've seen for a Chanel 22 (imo)! I think it looks the least trash bag-ish and the hardware goes perfectly with the light grey color. I've always thought the gold letters look gaudy and cheap on this bag. But if it doesn't make your heart sing definitely get an exchange while you can.

Thanks for your input all! I wonder if it’s the size, also the leather is so stiff in the beginning it just looked like a wrinkly tote haha. But I do love grey and have been looking for a grey bag for a long time.. agreed its more understated which is why I love my metallic blue so black hardware 22. Hm, will give this some thorough thinking!

Ohh now that you mentioned it I just zoomed in and noticed the wrinkles too. I'd worry about the leather peeling or cracking...I wonder if they have multiple in stock that you can check if they all have the same texture? :confused1:
