Definitely rare! I have been looking for over a year. I've contacted several SA's and none are coming up. The last one in 224 was the lucky charms version.

I’m relatively new to Chanel (purchased my first 3 months ago) and just started to gain an appreciation for the reissue. I’ve seen some aged calfskin that’s very distressed and some that is not. Im curious what everyone’s preference is? Does the leather distress more over time too? I personally like the reissue for the hardware and the leather is secondary. Would love to hear your opinions!
I personally loved the distressed look of the leather- it's a bag that wears well!! The leather does distress more over time...
Hi Ladies,Need your help here, which do you prefer on me? I've been eyeing the reissue in either ruthenium or gold hardware but the SA showed me the chevron and I think it looks great! But a little torn bevause I think the quilting is more classic? But chevron seems more edgy!
Also, do you prefer the small (chevron) or the medium size? (Ruthenium)
Thanks in advance!
Both look great but I think the chevron looks fantastic!! Very fresh and modern. And I think 226 is perfect
Chevron seems to look better on you!
N I love the distressed leather!
I never considered the Reissue until I saw it in chevron. I think it’s more edgy and pops more. I think the chevron looks amazing on you. Size wise think about that you need to carry around. I need my sunglasses at all times so medium would be my preference.
I vote for classic! I have this exact bag in the 226 size and it’s one of the most versatile bags I own. It can be casual, classic, edgy, you name it, depending on what you wear with it. I like chevron, too, but am not a fan of the leather on this particular version. Just my personal preference.
I think the chevron looks best on you out of those pics, but I do agree with catsinthebag above, the quilted can take on many looks too. Chevron is a little harder to find sometimes for the Reissue. I don't think I'm much help because I love both, but in your pictures the chevron does look better on you. It could be the size and hardware though. Top picture the bag just looks a lot bigger. Good luck deciding!!
I was never a reissue fan until I saw the aged Chevron in all black this season. It’s so edgy and modern. My vote is for the chevron!
Beat the price increase and got the only reissue that has ever spoken to me! [emoji7] Aged black calfskin is so durable and the look of the leather and the chevron pattern with black hardware is just a WOW.
I’m so in love!
