I just bought a lambskin medium classic double flap from Fashionphile. When it arrived, I noticed that the strap length is 22.25 which is longer than typical. Did Chanel ever make straps this length for classic flaps or does this mean that the seller had the strap lengthened by a third party? The bag is from 2013.

Thank you for calling this out and the new insta handle of theirs. I knew it was too good to be true that they had all the unicorns (frankly the bags didn't look quite right and like fakes).Sad to hear that there's nothing much that the Indonesian authorities can (or will) do too. Thanks for your response anyway!
Hope to appeal to the community to report this account on Instagram as well, thank you! FYI this scammer account has now been renamed to shasaluxurycollection
But TPF rocks!
Just saw your post and hopefully it’s still helpful in some way.
I live in US Midwest where winters and springs are usually cold and snowy. I’ve been wearing my lambskin bags out a few times, including today when we have -4F (which is -20C), but it’s mostly home-garage-car-(parking lot=outside)-stores. I rarely have my lambskin bags fully exposed to the cold wind or snow since those were mostly worn inside my down coat.
So far the bags seem to be fine, but I’d say I definitely don’t care as much when I wear my calfskin bags (those have been in direct contact with rain and snow for sure).
There are threads in the sub-forums tab, under Chanel Shopping, that might be what you’re looking for?
I’m in the same boat, were you able to track down contact info for any Chanel SAs at Harrods or Selfridges?
Maybe this is a dilemma, maybe not…I popped by Chanel today to get this phone holder in green. I have been looking for a cute summer bag to add to my collection for a while now and this is perfect. BUT my SA suggested I try on this cardigan jacket and I LOVE it! This is my Xmas present and I can’t get both. I only have one Chanel bag so far (black 2.55) and would love to add to my collection in my fave colour. But I don’t have a Chanel jacket either and I think this looks very classic!
Help me out ladies and gents. Which would you buy (if any ) and why?

I like both— is there a significant price difference? Does that play into your decision?
I am rather partial to phone holders, and searched up and down for 2 years before finding one earlier this year. I just got a second last month, so I wholeheartedly endorse them. This color is fabulous, bright, summery, unusual. Definitely eye-catching. I would hate to pass it up if you really like it.
The jacket is cute, pretty neutral. Very flattering fit. But would you wear it daily? Weekly? As an outer layer, or top? Many people use cost per wear as a yardstick.
But, if someone else is paying… then you can come back later for the less expensive item.
Thanks for replying! I think you’re right about CPW and the jacket is almost twice as much as the purse. I am also not sure about the iridescent stitching which is a nice touch, but makes the jacket look like it’s got bits of fluff all over it…
Do you like the bits of fluff look? That could be a bonus! But if you have doubts, in my experience, you will find something else you love more down the line. I used to stress about not getting the exact item I coveted, but Chanel always delivers, just be patient.
Also, I think the phone holder is a pearl crush? If so, THAT is a bonus!
Omg I love that line “Chanel always delivers” . Yes Pearl Crush but not the woc with the clasp just a popper
One of the frustrations I have with some of the bags is the awkward strap length, so I love that the pearl crush makes it adjustable. Problem solved!
