CHANEL REISSUE

[thundercloud]

So you think this AG LAI... will be some kind of fabric? If so, I will have to wait for a quilted black a little bit longer than I thought...

Yes, my guess is the ones on the right are some kind of textile or fabric mini-reissues, based on how they've been listing bags in that manner for each collection. They list the leather separate from the non-leather and you can clearly see the calfskin ones on the left side of the screenshot.

Thank you, @Mad_la_mans, and @thundercloud, for your feedback on aged calfskin. One thing I do love about the aged calfskin is how comfortable it is to wear. It's not as structured as the caviar or lambskin classic flap, but still has enough structure. @thundercloud, I had forgotten about tweed reissues! Definitely something to consider, although I prefer leather rather than tweed. I would be curious to see what the mini in khaki looks like.

Yes, I love that about the distressed and aged calfskin! I think the tweed minis are adorable, but I personally need something more maintenance free. I'm curious about the khaki too! I love olive green, so I want to see how the color comes out IRL.

Sorry for the late reply. Here are the two fav reissues of mine. Both black: 226 RHW and a 21A SO BLACK MINI. Both are MIF. The SO BLACK is definitely has a strong blue undertone and looks more black.

Can I please ask if you've had chipping issues on the grommets or chains?

Not my picture! I wanted to know if anyone has this bag or have seen it. I believed it was released in 2021 and it is the white iridescent embossed 2.55 mini. I am hoping to see a real life photo of it rather than the few I have found online. Thank you!

No issues on the so black chain. Yet. My 226 reissue had a chipping on ine of the grommets early on. It got fixed quickly.

I'm having trouble deciding between a so black mini and a navy gold hardware mini...

One more question regarding ruthenium hw - with bigger sizes e.g for 225 it's a rev item? Just like CF with silver hw? Maybe I'll get 225 with ruthenium, and mini with gold

Recently got this beauty (225 in RHW) from my London trip. I saw a 226 in GHW as well but it felt kinda large in my hands (I have super small hands) but I'm 5'8 tall. Now I'm thinking i maybe should've got the 226. However I don't carry much when I'm out. I wish I could have both. Lol

Yes, I believe 225 w RHW is REV. That sounds like a good plan!

Congrats! It‘s a such a great bag. Enjoy it!
You’ll get to know the style and the size. I went through the 225s, 226s and the minis eventually settling on 226 as a fav as it fits both less or more. 225 is a beautiful size.

So I just got my first Chanel! It’s a Chanel reissue accordion flap in aged calfskin from 2008, and I love it! I got it for a really good price and the condition is good too. The quilts are still puffy and I love the chain, it’s very comfortable on the shoulder!

Apologies I think it’s actually in glazed calfskin rather than aged, would anyone else think so?

Hi reissue lovers,
for reissue, I know we have RHW and aged GHW, do they consider classic to HWG and SHW in classic line? and is chevron pattern considered seasonal or classic ? I'd like to understand some reissue chevron has black lining while some has burgundy. Thank you

Lovely bags !

I kindly like to ask you about size 226 , do love the size ? I’m considering it.
And what do u think of the mini 2.55 ( reisssue) compared to th classic caviar mini?
I had a classic minion but didn’t love it . The chain was too heavy for me and didn’t hold much more than the WOC ( I have the reissue so black and so in love with it )

Thank you in advance

Hi! Yes, I love my 226. It’s bigger and looks chic and modern with sweaters and jackets. If I need to put a lot in it - I can. If I don’t need to - it’s quite light as it is. Bigger bags are in and 226 is a perfect “big” bag. Mini reissues are the same capacity as 225s. For that reason I only buy mini reissues or 226s.

As for the CC mini vs mini reissues I must say I enjoy and own both. My CC minis are in lamb though which I adore. CC mini rectangular’s capacity is slightly smaller than mini reissue ‘s due to the aged calf being more giving. Both options are super light bags.
