CHANEL CHIT CHAT Thread!

[BB8]

Hi everyone,
I tried on the 31 phone holder with chain bag and I’m torn. I’ve ordered it in light beige, and it’s absolutely the perfect beige for me. It’s adorable and feels spot-on stylistically for summer, especially for day-to-night transitions while traveling.

But… practicality might be an issue. It barely fits anything. If my phone is in, I can maybe squeeze in a lipstick and a couple of cards. If I try to bring my glasses, it won’t close. Things don’t seem like they’d fall out, even when it’s open, but still—it’s a little annoying to walk around with a bag that stays open.

I was really hoping to find a small but functional summer bag for travel that still feels chic. And here’s the larger version—it makes more sense functionally, but I’m just not as excited about it as I am about the mini.

Would love to hear your thoughts—do you think the phone holder is worth keeping despite the limitations? or better to get the larger one? Or wait for a more suitable option all together? And if you own this mini, I’d love to hear how you’ve made it work.

Thanks in advance!

I too have been eyeing this style bag, in particular the phone holder size. For myself, I don't like the larger size because it loses that elegant (for evenings) and cute (for daytime) factor. I think the smaller one looks better on you, but go with your heart. Good luck!

Agree, the mini size doesn't appeal to me either. It's funny it's called a mini, I would have never guessed that that was a mini, more like a medium lol

Whoo Hoo!! How fabulous is this on you! Love it just the way you wore it with the boots. Great fit! The shoulders and sleeves are perfect. How lucky is that!

Everything about this coat is wonderful. The crochet on the collar and the cuff is the chef's kiss. This is Karl Lagerfeld pulling out all the stops!

So pleased you think so. I feel wonderful wearing it.

Thank you @papertiger for sharing!! WOW. I love how you paired it with darker tones, very inspiring! This is a Karl-collection that makes my heart SING so let's keep it in circulation! Here is mine (also without the belt). The details are amazing and so fun to wear.

Aww! All that credit goes to our Karl. THANK YOU though, too, 🥰that means so much to me, I am a big fan/follower of your stylings.
Thanks for making Friday extra fun

I have a black rectangle mini flap, medium Camellia Crush flap, and jumbo classic caviar, all with GHW. The mini and Camellia Crush feel redundant—I’m considering selling one to get a Reissue with silver or ruthenium hardware. Which would you sell?

Jumbo

Does anyone know if this clutch comes in other colors? In case it's not visible in the photo, it has a crush handle. I loved it so much but I already have so many black bags sigh...
Would you get it if you already had black square mini, black mini 22, black diorama clutch, black small lady Dior and a bunch of larger black bags lol?

I know I might be late with my answer, but I will not get another black bag. Now, I don’t see anything you mentioned in your collection like this, maybe the diorama clutch 🧐? . I should mention that I am not a WOC, or clutch style person but I love this particular bag.

Hi all!

I just bought the new light denim ballet flats. These are my first fabric material shoes and light color, was wondering if anyone sprays their shoes prior to wearing? My friend recommended Jason Markk repel spray, anyone use before? Thank you in advance!

I do spray my shoes. I have not used the Jason Markk repel spray though.
