Hello there,

I was being offered to get a Chanel Mini Kelly in black by my SA and she informed me that this season would be the last season that Chanel would produce it ( not sure how true it is).

I just want to get some opinions on the practicality of the bag (for those who have owned it). I personally havent seen the bag (as I am away for work) and I havent put so much thought of it (as the price of Chanel bags are making me crying blood). Will drop by the boutique soon and I hope to be prepared with enough information before meeting her :).

Would appreciate if you could share your experience / recommendation of using it. It seems that it is the IT bag for 2024 - based on the reviews I have read.

Thank you so much in advance.

2024 is over, and tbh it wasn’t my it bag lol

It’s not my style personally, do you love the bag? That’s all that matters!

Did she share a photo?

Probably an unpopular opinion, but here it is. I find this style to be strangely matronly and awkward. The handles are huge compared with the size of the rest of the bag. I also don't understand why Chanel calls it a Kelly, since it bears zero resemblance to what the rest of the world thinks of as a Kelly . . . an Hermes Kelly. That said, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. If you love it, buy it. If you're on the fence, decline it. I would be concerned about buyer's remorse and resale value.

Have you tried it on? Do you love it at first sight? Don't buy a bag because it will be discontinued or other ppl crave it. Or there's a hype. Buy it because you love it and will use it frequently. Chanel is super expensive these days, you gotta love what you buy.

Nothing is really calling my name these days since I got a mini 22. I need a light, crossbody bag for my daily needs right now, and the CFs I have in my collection are a bit formal.

But this one (when I went window shopping) really stood out to me. Which is really the reason one should buy Chanel to begin with.

I might go crazy over the holidays and just go for it.
