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!


I’ve had my eye on the same one. It looks awesome on you!!!! I haven’t seen it yet IRL but in your pictures it doesn’t look as distressed/aged/crumpled as other pictures I’ve seen like the one my SA sent. Is it just the lighting or does it vary from bag to bag? Also how tall are you if you don’t mind me asking

Thanks! The aged calfskin definitely changes in the light. When under lights in my photo it looks glossy, but under low light it shows the distressing more and is very understated that IMHO.

Here is a pic I took of it in the boutique next to my pink chevron m/l from 17C. IMG_1509676572.993063.jpg

He distressing does vary from bag to bag. In the boutique I noticed each one has a different “fingerprint” of distressing.

The best bet is for you to see a few and decide on which one you like the best.

Lastly, I’m 5’3” on a good day. Definitely check it out before the price increase! [emoji4]

I’m head over heels over both of your 17C m/l flap n the reissue!

Thanks for sharing the eye candy!
 
Thanks! When I first started collecting Chanel, I was all about the classic quilting, and now all I seem to purchase is chevron! [emoji4]
:nuts: The same!
When I started they only had Quilted and not even making the rect or square mini yet (I’m showing my age aren’t I? :D)
Now most of my bags are chevron!
I just prefer it especially when the leather is so puffy and luxe!

Yes, that is the 226! Originally, I wanted the 225, but the size was too close to my 17C pink cruise chevron m/l. Plus, it still looked great crossbody he held quite a bit more.
Gorgeous bag! Congrats! I am contemplating getting this same bag and have to make my mind up SOON. The one my SA sent me pics of is a 227. I cannot see these IRL, so may I ask if you think the 226 will fit a full size LV wallet along with a few other things? TIA

Hi! Yes, it definitely fits my full size zippy wallet and phone, keys, compact, lotion, lipstick. I sometimes put my phone in the back pocket to leave it more open inside the bag.

Thank you so much! I decided after she modeled both sizes to go with the 226. It just looks more proportionate and she is even a bit taller than me. It is beautiful bag!

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!
That black chevron on you looks amazing! Love this bag!!!
