Hello ladies,
I have a bit of question as I received my "tomato-ketchup-red"(yes, the colour reminds me of tomato ketchup!) classic flap bag today..
The last classic flap I bought was 2 years ago so I am just wondering if Chanel made a bit of new changes since then(?)
As I noticed that the interlocking CC logo closure on this new bag is plain. Wherelse for my 2 other classic flap bag, there was something embossed on the CC. (Pics attached)
The care booklet is also "simpler" and comes in a cream coloured smaller envelope, unlike my 2 other bags which comes in a black envelope with 3 booklets. Of which the one in French was in a coloured printing and the Japanese and english each in a transparent-like paper.
I just want to add that I have no question on the authenticity as the bag was purchased from Chanel boutique itself (I had it ordered from a Chanel boutique in the US, though).
Same goes for my 2 older bags which were purchased in-person from the Chanel boutique in London.
Well, basicly I'm just asking to know if this is normal with the newer classic flap bags and at the same time to update my Chanel knowledge.
What next is just an opinion/finding which I just would like to share..
Well, I can't help but noticed right away the moment I took the new bag out from the box, that it seems lighter!
So I brought out my 2 other bags to compare their weight. And true enough, I can really feel the difference.
Okay, what followed next might sound overboard but I am always like that - I always need to confirm my curiosity!
Errr well, I weight the bags on my kitchen digital scale LOL
Note: All bags are the same size. Large(also known as M) size caviar with gold hardwares.
Red (new bag): 550g
Black (bought in July 2007): 634g
Beige (bought in Dec 2006): 588g
...But apart from the weight, I honestly cannot see any difference (quality, look, smell..) at all with the bag.
Though personally, I still prefers the feel(weight) of my 2 older bags as it somehow make them feel more "durable"(just my personal opinion).
