I am not good at photo taking... (and everyday I carry a lot of things to work....)

I am using this bag for 1 week, so far so good.

Actually I've never thought that I would buy this bag. When I was at the store last week I was originally looking for another hobo bag. By chance someone was trying on this bag.... and I also had a try....

I would say that it is not the bast looking bag, but it suits my habit...
I often carry a lot of things so I cannot manage a small bag which I am required to every items tightly together.... I often throw my phone, my purse etc into the bag after use so this open top spacious bag suits me very well.
Thank you! It looks great on you! Can I ask how tall you are?
 
I like that Chanel has put out a more casual and practical everyday option. And I’m intrigued by this in the suede.

But, for some reason, I feel like this is going to date badly and sell for pennies on the dollar in 3-4 years. There’s something a bit off with the pouches on top of the tall side panels that seems off - too busy? proportions not quite right?

I need to sit with this for a bit and ponder.
 
I dig this bag in pictures, I haven’t seen it irl yet. It’s reminiscent of the old Cambon reporter(?) bag with all the pockets to me!
I’m kinda dying to try it!
I love that Chanel is classic but also releases seasonal pieces that aren’t so predictable. Appeals to a broader market.

I don’t buy to sell, so I only purchase what I know I’ll wear… this one seems pretty utilitarian/practical.
 
I really like it. It feels like a proper bag (compared say to the 22) and it looks distinctly Chanel - on the cool and casual end. I also think it's Chanel enough to not look dated in a few years time if it doesn't take off. The patch flaps on the side could be incorporated/attached with a bit more finesse if I was being critical.

It's like the design team saw people like me wear their vintage backpack on their (single) shoulder and created a bag that could create the same effect without the double strap. I'd feel it would be redundant the black leather since I already have a very vintage backpack (which I wear as a shoulder bag).

I love the silver(?). Especially with ghw. My Chanel lipstick case is silver leather with ghw. It feels frivolous of me to think about a new bag atm but I may enquire - that's sooooo rare for me with Chanel these days.
 
I love it, I’ve been looking for a slouchy casual but elevated bag! I heard it will come in lots of colors like dark brown, burgundy and dark beige. Has anyone seen these in store? I’ve only seen it in black in store and have too many black Chanels

I first saw the Chanel 25 in suede and immediately fell in love with it—it’s such a gorgeous look! The black leather is beautiful too and definitely more practical. I’m still debating because, for an investment piece, I’m a little hesitant about suede.
 
I saw this bag when I was in store yesterday. No stock for black. I love my 22 so much and really enjoying my 22. I am one of the person who doesn’t like 22 at first but then bought small and mini and using both often..
I personally think people need to stop comparing between those 2 bags because it’s just two different bags. From my point of view, 22 gives more relaxed/casual vibes. While 25 is more structured.
For now, I haven’t feel in love with 25, but who knows..
