Me with my new small (225) reissue in ruthenium hardware! For reference, I am 5'4" and 111 lbs. SUPER excited to finally buy this bag. I was choosing between the small (225) and the medium (226) but I ultimately ended up choosing the small.

Love it! Mind sharing why you chose the 225 over the 226?

Sure!

This was a tough decision as I know that most tpfers love the 226. When I tried both on in the Chanel boutique, the 226 seemed a little big for my frame, especially when I wore it on a single chain. Ultimately though, it comes down to personal preference and what kind of look you're after. I already have a Chanel jumbo, in beige caviar, which I think works very well as a day bag. For my first reissue, and also my first black Chanel bag, I wanted something a little more elegant looking that could also work for the evenings. I love that the 225 looks good on both double and single chains. I've attached photos of myself wearing the bag with the chain doubled up.

The 225 doesn't fit that much - I can fit my long continental wallet, a iphone 6plus, keys, lip gloss and that's pretty much it. However, I don't carry a whole lot around with me most of the time, so if I switch out my continental wallet for a card case then it definitely fits the essentials.

The 226 is bigger but still not big enough to fit things like a water bottle, a fat sunglasses case, an umbrella, etc :P

I also have a personal preference against big boxy black Chanel flap bags - for example, I am not a fan of how the black jumbo looks on my frame. The 226 is small than the jumbo, but not by that much.

I hope this helps!

What a classic and elegant bag...I can see through the screen how soft and smooth the lambskin is...you look beautiful Tulip. :love:

Thanks D'sMom. The lambskin on the Golden Class seems a bit delicate. I'm taking extra care when carrying this handbag. Oh well, it's worth it. I like that it's a single flap too. Super easy to get in & out of. Once again, must take good care of that large golden clasp too.
