You made excellent points!! I completely agree :smile: I still take care of my bag as best I can while still enjoying it.

@renee_nyc Do you have yours in gold hardware? If so how is it holding up? Have you noticed either of the sides lifting like @honeypeach was mentioning?

Btw thank you for the videos @honeypeach! I didn’t think about the sides not holding it’s shape as well. I’ll definitely have to keep an eye on it.

THANK YOU everyone for your input! I decided on the reissue 226 Chevron and just purchased it!! I’m so excited!

No uneven lifting of one side on my reissue. I have the so black chevron.

I can’t wait to see a pic! The gold is such a beautiful matte.

That is a completely different bag than the Reissue.

Personally I am very biased towards aged calf skin classic reissue, I love mine in 227 GHW and I will love it forever!
FYI, I heard there are issues with the chevron pattern --- the flap would lift up on one side? (I saw it somewhere in youtube), I know it's a different style of bag, so I'm not sure whether the chevron reissue would have this issue.

Thank you, renee_nyc :blush:
It’s hard to go wrong with a black Chevron Reissue! I love the calfskin, as well as the aged calf. My sheepskin feels a bit stiffer, but I am really happy with it and that I got it in So Black :hbeat: I have an older quilted 227 in aged calf with gold hw. I feel like they are 2 completely different bags.

I’m heavily biased but I’d go for the reissue!

I also, like @gettingpurseonal have the sheepskin 226 in chevron but with GHW and I love it so much. The leather looks very similar to the calfskin one you’ve shown but I haven’t seen that one in person.

I think if you already have CF the the 226 is a great choice especially with GHW as it stands out without screaming I’M A CHANEL BAG!!

Congrats on the bag!!! Which store did you see these? US? When I was in Costa Mesa a fee weeks ago they only had quilted. I like the chevron better. But my SA said that the calfskin is softer than the wrinkled one and can be scratched easily. What is your guys’ opinion ( whoever owns the calfskin)
Congrats again

We are Reissue cousins!! I’ve never seen another one in sheepskin! Pretty with the gold hardware too.

I think I have the sheepskin 255 like this on. The chevron goes in opposite direction flap to bottom. Mine is from 2017 and has a hot pink lining... does yours have a pink lining??

Yes, it’s the very same with the pink inside. I got mine in Nov 2017, I think they are from the paris ritz collection [emoji173]️

Hey bag cousin [emoji1366]! The sheepskin reissues are definitely a rare breed, makes them even more special imo!

Great to know- thank you! I just bought mine (Nordstrom) this month. I think someone must have returned it or forgot about it- it looks absolutely perfect- I fell for it instantly! I like pink, but when I opened it and saw the pink lining, I think I squeeled like a 8 y o girl!! Can you tell me, how does it wear? I am mindful when I wear my Chanel’s, but have not had sheepskin before.
