Hi everyone! I have quietly read through the comments on this site for years and this is my first time posting. I love the 22 and got it in small, caramel brown last month. It is my 3rd Chanel bag (I have a black CF mini and a “panda” colored large Deauville from 22S). I love the 22 because it can carry all I need for the day, and has a casual laid back look similar to that of bucket bags. I have been concerned about quality after reading the comments here and watching YouTube videos, but have not had any major issues with mine after one month of daily use (very small minor scratches in two holes likely from the chain carrying the weight of the bag, but not visible unless you shine a bright light on it). I bought a Samorga organizer for it and it helps with the shape and keeping my belongings organized. I also keep the bag tightly cinched and worry that the cinching might contribute to the leather peeling but have not seen any of that. Nonetheless I will continue to watch out. I do love the casual look of this bag, and it’s my “grab and go” for daily needs.
