Chanel Mini Kelly - a yes or a no…

[lockit838]

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.

No, I haven’t as I was on business trip. Will drop by the boutique probably tomorrow or the day after to see her. Then let’s see how it goes.

Yes, I agree with you. I should get it if I really love it. And I agree again on the prices of Chanel nowadays.

Hahahaha, we all do go crazy over Chanel sometimes…

i’m in the same dilemma! i want to ride out the hype but the sales associates saying it won’t come back is giving me fomo. i would ideally like to wait a year to see if i still want it 😕 i am telling myself that because they said it’s the last one that i feel the need to buy it, it’s obvious that if they hadn’t said that i would be completely okay with waiting it out & it wouldn’t be a priority to me. if i truly loved it, i would still feel a zing even if it was easy to acquire.

I don’t think it’s going anywhere. They say it’s the last season for it every time

If u love it go for it! I love mine as I love also my other Chanel bags.. I don’t think it’s a copy of Dior or anything like that cause it is the same style like vintage Chanel bags. They added just a chain and the quilts.. it is a classic for me and something different than other seasonal bags!♥️

I adore it and have 3 including the 25C white. I also have black and find it very versatile. I have classic minis and other seasonal bags and find that this style is one of my absolute favorites.

I do, too. I bought two (white&black) last week when the 25 C launched. I already used the black more than I ever used my minis/small, and I had those for several years.

I like the look but really dont like how the leather around the handle area looks so crumpled(?) even when new.

that’s how i feel! i am wondering if they’ll ever release it in matte lambskin or caviar. i hate crumpled.

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.

I tried to pass on this bag repeatedly but I got the beige one from 2025 cruise collection launched last week 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️the aged calf skin is not my favorite type of leather but let us see how durable it will be

I got the beige as well from the same collection. I hope it will not show wear quickly as I am a little bit worried about the corners.

I didn't love the colors this season but I really love the style. Going to hold out to in case it comes back in a tweed or denim. Those don't have the wrinkling under the handles.

I changed my opinion about this bag. I think it's definitely worth consideration, because I came across a Chanel 31, and I kind of fell for it. No. I haven't bought it yet.

Try it on, and if you fall in love, get it.

I have 3. I think it’s incredible. One of my favorite Chanel styles ever.

one of my dream bags this year and finally found one from 23k. SA offered me beige (which is beautiful but i have beige already in my collection), blue and khaki this season but i still opted for the pink from 23k. you should give it a try 💕

Usually, I prefer vintage over the revived designs but for this one I like the new ones a lot better!
