I purchased this 17P Chanel Reissue Chevron 225 size SMALL from Harrods London on 18/7/2018. A few questions here.
1) Interior is not burgandy color. Wonder why？2) no black felts were given at all though requested and they replied no longer given out felts.
3) 17P is old collection but why still selling at Harrods London?
4) series no starts with 238xxx also quite old no?
5) what skin is 17P? Read review is sheep skin or distressed lamb skin? Is it durable? How to take care?

Thanks

I have a 17S so-black chevron reissue (227 size) bought in May 2017 which is also from the 238xxx series. Interior is black (as it’s the all-black version) but it’s calfskin leather (non-distressed). I was told the inverted chevron reissues from 2017 came in either sheepskin (released first?) as well as calfskin (later in the season). Did your bag tag say 17P? The leather in your pic looks a lot like mine so just wondering whether it’s actually calfskin and not sheepskin.

Here’s mine for comparison:

Hi Rebecca,

Sorry if someone has already answered this.

I have this same bag but size 226. It’s pink inside as it’s classed as a seasonal reissue, due to it being sheepskin and it being reverse chevron rather than the stitching going in just one direction like on the classic aged calf styles.

I bought mine in November last year from Chanel Sloane street, it came with the classic dust bag but no felts, however I didn’t ask for tbh.

Funnily enough I actually went to Harrods and tried this bag and passed on it as it had scratches on it and I didn’t want to compromise even though I LOVED it. I Was lucky enough to get the Sloane boutique and they had the same style. This style is from the Pre fall 2017 Paris Ritz metier d’art collection.

Re the sheepskin. It is super hard wearing, the only thing I have used on it is the collonil leather gel which you can buy from Mulberry and is great for keeping it fresh and clean! I have to say I am still head over heels for this reissue.

I hope you enjoy your 225 as much as I do mine, it’s a great bag

Been trying for over a year to get my hands on a black quilted 224 with RHW, but no luck so far :crybaby: I'm starting to think I might never find one, so I decided to get this reissue for now. I am still holding out hope for the 224 of my dreams eventually, so I got the So Black Chevron (different size, different hardware, different pattern) as not to be redundant once I find that unicorn. Until then, I am quite pleased with this beauty :hbeat:

I think you have to go overseas to get a 224! I saw one in Stockholm but it was white. Super cute!

A few season's ago I saw a bright pink Reissue with ghw and a kind of inverted chevron pattern. It was beautiful, imo.

Was it this? IMG_1541.jpg
They have that at the Beverly Hills Chanel right now. It’s cute, but I have my heart set on the classic quilt

I hope it’s out there in the 225 size! The one in the pic above is 226

Can someone answer me this. Why is it so difficult to find a red 225 Reissue with ruthenium hardware? Who is hoarding them all? I’m going on ban island soon and all I want to start my ban is a red reissue size 225/small with ruthenium hardware, is it too much to ask??

Hi geisha918,
I just red your post. There is one for sale in this size/HW in True Red, on a Danish site. PM me if you are interested and I can put you in touch with the seller.

Happy to join - My Reissue 225!!
I finally found the perfect size. For the longest time, I had no real interest in reissues and always went for the classic looks. My collection shuffled and new/old came in and out. Was never fully satisfied.

Set my heart in finding a reissue as it was chic, but not too in your face. Ultimately I sold my boys and I think I finally am content with this to addition. I now see why people love the reissue:
- light weight
- discreet
- amazing durable leather

This is a new to me reissue 225, and I think it’s here to stay!
