Hi! I am having trouble deciding between a beige WOC classic and a pre-loved black reissue 225. I prefer understated bags that are multi-functional. I have a woc in black and love it, so was thinking about adding in beige. I have also been wanting the reissue for the longest time though, but definitely more $ for the 225 size. Also, will there be a price increase coming up soon that I should be aware about? Would love to know thoughts and suggestions.

With Chanel, it seems there is always a price increase coming up, especially the last couple of years!
If you have wanted the reissue for a long time and the preloved bag is in nice condition, I would go with that. It is a different look than the WOC in terms of hardware and will mix up your collection a bit. The reissue also will hold more for days you want to have a little more room than a WOC allows.

Ah, to me this question is like comparing apples to oranges! I would say it depends on your lifestyle - which one do you see yourself wearing the most? I have a variety of handbags, but definitely get the most use out of my two WOCs given their comfort level (they also work well with my petite frame) and how easy it is to dress them down and up. I'd say if you love your current WOC, you should add another one to the collection. 
I would think about use. Is this only for a special occasion bag, or something more wearable. Also, depending on the 255, what is the chain like? Is it the classic leather chain, can you wear it different ways? While the WOC can be worn cross body, double, and wristlet with some creativity.
I just got a woc, and I already love it. It is so comfortable and easy to use compared to my classic flaps. I don’t feel the need to protect it as much as it is in caviar leather and more compact and small. I also just prefer the style with the CC logo! But that is personal preference!
As you already have a WOC, I think that the Reissue is the way to go. This is a forever bag that will go with everything. I love my WOCs but, they are small. When I got my first Reissue, I felt it was THE bag for me. It just feels right.
Good luck with your decision!

I think the Reissue would be a nice add to your collection. And since you wanted one for a long time, I would go for that one.
Reissue also has more room, which I really like. I never regretted my Reissues, love them! Best of luck with your decision.

The WOC is a lovely bag, but it's no contest in my opinion compared to the Reissue. The 2.55 is the ultimate bag.
Also going the preloved route means you'll get better quality.

Reissue!!! It's a super practical bag and light in comparison to classic flap. She is is so durable, but classic. What year and hardware?
