Thank you for your opinion.

Can you offer me your thoughts between the small and the medium since you have both ?? Because I’m scared if I buy small I would want the medium and vice versus ... because I would either get the small or medium but not both because my plan is to also get a mini as I quite like cross body and the size of the mini hehe .

Many TIA

Sorry for late reply! If you gonna get Mini ultimately then I suggest get the Medium large.. for size, capacity variety

Hey guys, so I just found an amazing vintage bag. From my research apparently it's a pretty rare one made between 96-97 (it's a small double sided flap in patent leather). I'm torn between a classic vintage lambskin flap or this.

I also have a classic vintage flap in white medium as well as a black rectangular mini in lambskin black for reference. What do you think? View attachment 4115949View attachment 4115950

Depends on your feelings. I had Chanel Patent Flaps & became bored with the look of the leather. I have a vintage Lamb Double sided flap & adore it. They are not common. Patent is durable. Lamb hardier that it appears. If you like the appearance of the bag & the price is reasonable, go for it!

I just received my patent flap today! I've definitely heard that lambskin isnt as delicate as people may think. I own a lambskin balenciaga city for 6 years and theres only some minor scuffing, and I'm rough with that bag.

But good point about patent leathers. It's a more modern look I guess compared to a classic lambskin flap.

Maybe I'll save up and one day purchase another one in lambskin :P

Hi all, where do you put your Chanel bag when you are at a restaurant? In a chair, in your lap or on the table?

It depends on the location. If there is space next to me, I will set it down there. If not, I usually place it in my lap. In the past I would put it over the chair, but as I have gotten older this seems less ladylike for some reason.

Hi guys, I just purchased a Paris-Salzburg tweed reissue and I was wondering how tweed wears. I love this tweed pattern but I've never had any tweed items...not sure if they wear better/worse than other materials such as jersey or wool? Any input would be really appreciated! Thank you!!

Here's the link to the bag: https://www.fashionphile.com/chanel-tweed-255-reissue-225-flap-green-red-beige-black-264667 (I tried adding a pic but it's saying it's too big :sad:)

Has anyone received a generic looking white box with their new Chanel? Curious, as mine arrived in a white cardboard box with all the parts separately- folded dust bag, Chanel packet of cloth and papers, but no pretty black and white box. The box had the stickers on it of the bag that was inside - The small Gabrielle backpack:)
This was from Neimans.
Thanks:)

I think that's the downside of ordering through a department store. I ordered a Gucci and a YSL bag before from Neimans and I only got dustbags, no box. Congrats on your new Chanel though!

Thanks for your reply:)
It's strange since I just ordered a couple of SLG from the same store, and they came wrapped up so pretty with ribbons and all:)
It is such a gorgeous bag- just not sure if the color works with my wardrobe - it's beige and black:)
