I was super disappointed with them also! Then Fashionphile went and did it too, not as blatant as Yoogis but still in pretty poor taste. [emoji35]

Hello fellow TPFers!
Now that I’m really in the mom zone, I want to try and minimize what I carry when I go to places where I will need a diaper bag, but not my handbag (like the playground). I was wondering if any of the Chanel large flap wallet models can hold an iPhone Plus, or if anyone could suggest an alternative besides the o-case or WOC for grab and go.
Thanks in advance!

I don't know where to post this but I hope someone could shed a light to this question. I was on fashionphile and looking at a very nice m/l classic flap caviar from 11 series. It's double flap but noticed that the interior is black instead of the beautiful burgundy. Does anyone have a bag from 21 series and have the same interior? Do all the classics from 11 series have a black interior? I am new to all this, so please be patient and kind. Thanks.

Caviar double flaps used to have a black interior. My bag is from 2009 and is a 13 series M/L caviar flap and it has the black interior. I can’t remember the exact year but they switched to the burgundy interior not long after. Hope that helps!
I had finally clicked BIN on my first ever Chanel bag (after authenticating here first - thank you ironic) , i wanted a vintage jumbo, I'm obsessed with those big CC's and great hardware. I had never experienced echeque with paypal and almost lost my mind wondering what this was all about. The seller didn't seem to know much so I did a little reading in the ebay section. So with my mind at ease it still took about 9 days for the money to clear and for the seller to post. I cant describe - i was loosing my sh7t. Now I'm waiting for it to arrive. The waiting game is killing me.
I asked this in another thread but maybe I'll have better luck here:
Question about the durability of Chanel leathers-
Is it really any use to bother too much about whether to buy a Chanel cardholder/wallet in grained chèvre, lambskin or caviar? I'm looking for the smaller flap cardholder without the back pocket, to be used when I don't carry a bag so it'll not be babied by Samorgas and such, but put mainly in pockets, grocery bags etc. From what I've read here the durability depends as much on what year/season a Chanel item was made, as what leather it's made from, is that correct?
There is a black flap cardholder that I like on Chanel's EU site right now, but it's in lambskin. For what I'm going to use it for, is lambskin OK, or is it better to wait for one in chèvre or calfskin? I'm not expecting it to stay like new for ever, but last in decent condition a few years.

My second question is: Has Chanel ever made the flap cardholder (with back pocket) in red chevron with either black metallic hardware, silver or ruthenium, 2.55 or CC? In a true/darker berry red, this would be my new dream Chanel item.

Do you find your backpack or reissue more useful? I am trying to decide between the both somehow lol
In my opinion Reissue can casual or formal dinner and more versatile. Backpack only use for casual outings. Hope it helps
I have this exact same black flap cardholder in lambskin. I've had it for 1.5 years now, and I definitely see some wear on the corners and on the surface itself (and I don't even use it all the time). My caviar classic flap (2 years old), on the other hand, shows NO wear at all.
I'm okay with the wear because lambskin feels so nice, but it really does show. In a few years, who knows how it will look... probably decent, but it won't be like caviar.
