CHANEL REISSUE

Hello, I am looking for a reissue but I have some doubts, if someone knows about it, can please help me? I want to know if Karl discontinued 255 in 1983 when he release CC flaps or it was still in production from 1983 until 2005 when he made the reissue that was made thinking about a bag that he found at coco Chanel apartment and had aged leather and hardware and that’s why it is how it is (it looks vintage, and I am not sure about this information, but I remember reading somewhere) And if so, what are the differences from it to the reissue version?I had only seen at the store 255 that looked like reissue (folded bottom, aged calfskin, ruthenium or gold hardware?) Reissue is at the classic line but with no 255-1955 written inside so it is not called reissue and it is called only 255 by Chanel nowadays but it is exactly the same as reissues? And ruthenium hardware is a collection piece and only gold is a permanent edition in classic line for this bag? The point is, there is Reissue, but there was normal 2.55 without it being from Coco decade?
 
Hi ladies, need help deciding on a new mini reissue! I have lots of black classics with varied Sizes/ hardwares and just wanted to add a small one to my collection and later for my daughter to use:smile: my SA sent me these from the new season, any tweed or velvet Experiences ? TIA

I was so sad this wasn’t a 226. It’s sooo pretty but too small for me.

I was originally going to get the reissue mini but decided that was too small. So this is really my size of mini bag.... All of my other bags are so big and I really wanted something light and easy for going out during the weekends. Plus this fits everything I need.

But I did buy another black Chanel at the same time.... so it made my colour purchase easier. LOL
 
Hi! New to reissue 2.55 style. I recently purchased one in the 225/small size from Costco in a 28 series and navy with shiny ghw. I've been sifting through the Internet and believe this colour combo is part of the 19A, BUT I've only found pictures of this colour combo in the mini reissue size and not the small size. Had anyone seen this one in stores in the small size or know if it was made in the small size? I'm not too familiar with the features of the 2.55 features (i.e. Hardware). Someone mentioned that back of the hardware on the flap usually comes with flat top screws but mine is sort of like a star shape screw. Any comment helps! (I've also attached a picture I found of this bag on IG but in the mini size)

Did I read this right? Chanel reissue from Costco? I looked it up online out of curiosity but only found Chanel face cream. Is it a new bag or preowned?

I did a double take too but remember seeing tPF posts in the past where people have bought used Chanel bags from Costco (and Prada...)

@viviliciousss I do remember reissues in sizes larger than minis, in 19A, with shiny gold hardware: the 'classic reissue' is in aged gold or ruthenium hw. I saw a beige in 226 size, not a navy but that doesn't mean it didn't come in navy. Can't speak to the authenticity but if you look at resell sites, the screws do come in the flat head and 'star shape' screws.

I’m very curious about this! Could you please let us know if you had the bag authenticated?
