originally I was hesitant of getting the 22 because I have the coco cabs but now, I’m so happy I did! It’s a great everyday bag and I have no issues with it.
Omg would you mind sharing a picture of your coco cabas next to the 22? The coco cabas is the only Chanel bag I miss soooo much. I regret given it back after a repair incident, I loved that bag but haven’t been able to find one in the color, size and condition I want ☺️. This is why I have been somewhat considering the 22 style.

The coco cabals is much wider and shorter.

Question to those with the Chanel 22 Mini (and or both small/mini) -

I recently got a Chanel 22 in Small/Black and I've been thinking of getting a mini as well but cannot decide if I want black or white.

I know the getting a mini in black seems redundant and the white is gorgeous but I am afraid of color transfers (which is why I went against getting a small in white even though it's so pretty).

So to those who have the mini, what are your thoughts? If you have a black in small size, would you get a mini in black too? If you have the white one, do you love it and/or are you super super careful with it?

I had a mini 22 white but yet to use and will wear it soon with light colour outfits and no denim. I believe most of the light colour handbags regardless of brand names will have the risk of colour transfer or prone to stains. We have to be careful a little bit to manage it. My mini 22 white was offered by SA during walk in after trying few handbags. The mini 22 purchase was unplanned. If other colours were offered by the SA, I would have the reason not buying (no offence to members with other colours) due to most of my handbags are black colour and I have been looking at white colour handbag too. Mini 22 is the perfect size for my petite frame. Chic, cute, versatile and the shiny calfskin feel buttery luxurious, i love it.

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.

Please share which Samorga insert that you purchased for your 22. Thank you!

Thank you, this helps! Visited my SA recently and she didn't recommend putting a laptop inside..how are you finding the wear and tear so far?
I have worn my tweed one more than this leather one, and I don't think it asks too much from the material at all. It's such a comfortable size, and lies against you which makes me feel everything is very safe.

Where are you located? I thought this was all sold out?
I'm in NYC and they were! I asked my SA in case one ever popped up again to let me know and he and the manager let me know they had "invested" in a few more months back and were expecting one or two. Didn't think it was possible as well and thought they were all gone and then got the text today to come in and pick it up!

That is amazing! Congratulations it’s a beautiful bag. One of my regrets not getting this one.

Just sharing my base shaper I got in brown which doesn’t match perfectly but that’s ok and my Zoomoni bag insert. They did not have a similar color so I opted for a light colored one so I could see when I look inside the bag. I buy both base shaper and insert for all my Chanel bags to keep their shape nice and so far so good.IMG_2219.jpegIMG_2220.jpegIMG_2223.jpeg
