My advisor just told me that future seasons will no longer offer the 20cm classic mini in leather. Leather version will only be available in the new 18cm version. They will still do tweed, denim, and jersey in the 20cm version. So 24B would be the last season with leather classic mini’s.

Feel like end of an ERA. And I saw the 18cm mini today. They are ok looking from front, the side doesn’t curve inward because it’s not thick enough so it sticks out more. The chain is also thinner like the top handle mini. They are definitely not on par with the 20cm version in terms of craftsmanship.

I hope that's not true :sad: The mini rectangular is such a classic that I don't want to see it gone any time soon. I'll for sure be holding on to my mini classic for dear life now :biggrin: The extra mini is just not my cup of tea as I consider it to be a less practical and well-made version of the classic mini

it’s not going away but just not offered in leather…i think this year the leather version is already very scant, so even if it doesn’t go away it will just be few and far in between

Oh no!! That's really sad news. Why mess up a good thing. The mini is already small enough, I struggle to fit my glasses so I don't see the point of an even smaller bag. And at $5k for an extra mini size..it makes no sense practically. What a bummer.
 
I don't love that the rectangular mini will now get shrunken to 18cm for size/capacity consideration, but I'm loving the idea of a thinner chain! I love the thinner chain on my pearl crush mini and top handle mini. The thinner chain is just smoother, more flexible, and lighter on my shoulder. the thicker chain on a regular mink was just too top heavy for me.

3-5k would feel much more reasonable. If someone really has their heart set on a shearling but can't get this Chanel one, either due to price or scarcity, I found a couple of other designer ones that are similar and cute.

i don’t think the shearling is in demand from what I’m hearing through the grape vine. I saw a number posted on ig and a lot looked bad imo. The shearling isn’t like the web photo and it’s messy. Shearling back in the day looked also sheared. So velvety and luscious. This bag looked homely and from the side it looked worse along the edges with what looked like very sad looking possibly glued on wool. don’t want a bag that looks like it just came off the sheep. Honestly the quality doesn’t look the same for this seasonal bag. Maybe they’re just not making them the way they used to.

Wow, that's shocking for this price range!
