I think this might be my favorite Chanel bag I've ever seen. I love it. The colors are so fun. The colors will likely come and go throughout the years, looking very fun and fresh in some years, less so in some, and vintage in others. Can the chain be removed or tucked into the bag when the colors aren't working for you and then put back on when you want it?

Are you keeping it? I hope you do. To me, it's a Chanel rendition of the basic bucket bag, which it hasn't done before because bucket bags are in nature too casual. And Chanel brand is more feminine and formal.
I'd suggest getting a bag insert to protect the bag and protect too much sagging.
I think it's cute given the small size and rainbow chain. And deserves a place in a complete/ comprehensive Chanel collection.

Hi, I just purchased this bag last month and I notice they start to peel? I’m not sure if you can see from the photo, but they’re peeling on the corner of the flap and both sides too. This side probably the worst. Actually you won’t see it without the flashlight, do you think I should go to the boutique? I was thinking they probably say its wear and tear, but to a month old bag? Plus I haven’t use it that much.
So cute! Not classic, but FUN. Can you flip the chain over to plain? That would be a cool option.
Anyone trying to tell you it's "wear and tear" after a month of barely using it is out of their mind. These bags are SO expensive and are supposed to last for years. I literally have no-name cheapo wallets and bags from DECADES ago that are holding up better than this. This is for sure a faulty bag. They should definitely replace it. Quality should NOT peel!!

For the tiny, narrow slits in the card holder, try placing the cards in vertically. I have a Diorama WOC and that is the way the credit cards fit in.
Hi there. The cards fit perfect in the card slots horizontally (the middle slots) and if placed vertically, using the top slot causes the card to stick up and out over the opening. The tiny slots on the left and right of the middle slots are way too narrow for a card to go in vertically. I have used the tiny slot to hold money that I just roll up and place inside. Lol. Just silly that they came up with this concept. Here are pics so you can see what I'm talking about.
I don't know what they are for either. Since it's originally designed as a pouch, perhaps bobby pins and hair ties, band-aids will work in there?
If there isn't a middle compartment, this pouch is actually quite roomy.
Oooh, you know, I did not think of that! That is a good point. Bobby pins, hair ties, etc would fit that is for sure. I was thinking if they just placed a stitch in the center of the slots, there would be 2 rows, side by side for cards. Anyway it's not a deal breaker for me, and what you said makes sense. Maybe it's for little nick nacks. There is no middle compartment, it's more of a divider. It's basically 2 pouches sewn together to make 1 pouch. It is pretty roomy for the size it is.
Thank you! These two are actually my very first Chanel bags! I was initially considering between the Cartier Love bracelet and a Chanel bag. But when I walked into Cartier, I bought it immediately. Then when I went to Rue Cambon and saw these two, I knew I just had to get it too. And now I'm hooked! I'm going to Berlin in March and hope to get a classic flap there! Can anyone share their Berlin SA contact please? It will be so useful in helping me get my dream bag. ❤
