Someone is using your photo in their listing for a Chain Around Maxi on eBay right now =(took a quick photo of my black maxi in the bathroom...sorry it's such a crappy pic
That's a beautiful color! To you still own the bag? I just bought the black version in black, maxi flapThought I would share a few modeling shots of my new pride and joy Maxi CA in dk beige. I am 5'7, 130ish
Tried to get it from multiple angles but that thing is GIGANTIC
Hi there! Nope, sold that bag a long time ago. Loved it but the chains were harsh on my shoulder and it was just too heavy for me.
Oh ok, good to know. Geez I may have the same issue as you did. The bag just captivated me. Lol. Mine looks like it's from 2012 to 2013 based off the serial number. Would you happen to know what type of leather or finish was used then? Is it durable and what is Washed Lamskin and is it aged looking? Im not sure what leather mine is. Rebag just has it listed as leather but it looks like this Chain Around Maxi came in Washed Lambskin and Buffalo? Other then it being too heavy, did you have any other issues?
Oh cool! My serial code is 17 series, what is yours? Do you know what type of leather yours is and the finish? I haven't seen this bag in person yet. The bag should ship today so hopefully next week sometime it will arrive. I don't plan on loading the bag up. I dont even need a bag this size, lol but I like the vibe it gives in this size so I bought it.
Do you need an organizer or a base shaper to keep the structure?
I honestly don't remember anything other than the color was amazing but the bag killed me when I carried it. It was just too big. I think mine was lambskin or calfskin? Not sure... sorry hun!
Oh, and can you wear this bag in the Gabrielle style, where the chain straps are separated and one strap is on each shoulder with the bag sitting as a crossbody? Im thinking it will look cute that way as long as the chain is long enough.Oh cool! My serial code is 17 series, what is yours? Do you know what type of leather yours is and the finish?

No worries. Thank you so much for replying to me as this thread is so old! Lol. Oh gosh, Im concerned now. Lol. Hopefully it's not too heavy for me. I dont need to bring much with me so maybe that alone will save me. Lol
Thank you!The chain of this bag starts separate but is conjoined in its majority.

Mine is 19xxx series (so maybe 2014 or 2015, can't remember exactly), purchased by me at Chanel boutique and it's washed lamb. Although it's one of my heavier bags, it's not a deal-breaker for me personally! I'm not a huge fan of the bag organizers; they add bulk, so maybe for something large and cavernous like a big hobo... There are several pockets on each side on the interior of this bag along with a large zipper pocket for incidentals/items, so an organizer for this particular bag may be redundant. I have found this bag to be a workhorse and I (almost) never see it in the wild! Enjoy your new bag and post pics for us!Oh cool! My serial code is 17 series, what is yours?

Wow that chain is everything! Thank you so much for taking these pics! I see there is no way to carry it the Gabrielle way. Not a deal breaker for me but it would have been a cool look!
Yes Im not into organizers either as they add bulk in an already large bag, and in small bags they decrease the size of the interior. What I do like are base shapers as I don't like the bottom to sag. Im excited to get it and I NEVER EVER seen this bag in the wild! For it to be an older piece, it still gives the vibe of a newer piece.
In the description of mine, it says minor discolation on the exterior. The bag is black, so any discoloration makes me think its fading as how can you see discoloration on black? Lol. I wish the pics were more clear as I can't tell if it's just glare on the bag or if these are discoloration marks. Is the color of the black suppose to be a solid deep black or more of an ashy black or off black? Is there a sheen to the leather? Here are pics of the listing. I circled the area that may be the "discoloration " mentioned but Im not sure as it may be the lighting.
When the bag arrives, I will make sure to take pics and post!

Yes bring yours out!
Lol. I would love to see it. Im suppose to get mine today as long as it's not delayed a day AND if Fedex follows the delivery time as if not, I may miss it. Rebag does not allow you to pick up at the FedEx Station. That is such a HUGE inconvenience. Not sure why as you still need to show your ID and the QR Code sent to your email for them to scan. Can you tell me what type of finish yours has and if it is black, is it an off black or satin, flat...what? I want to compare it to mine which will help me know if the leather condition is up to par or not. Thank you!
