After reading all the post in the thread,
i just have some questions
Was the reissue the original design ?
The reissue is just an "improved" version of the classic?
Was the classic the first to be launched?

Thanks :smile:

The REISSUE is the common name for bags that are similar to the original design.

The classic is a variation on the original (different closure, leather interwomen in chain, etc.)

I know I will make things more complicated, but can anyone give some introduction of the east/west flap? What's the difference between mini classic flap and the e/w flap and the difference between the old chain and new chain? Thanks a lot!

And to follow-up on the question above, does all mini-flap come with the back tip pocket? Was there ever mini-flaps that didn't have a back pocket?

i have a question...I was looking around at a Chanel boutique and decided that i like the small-ish long size of the flap. After reading this thread, i tHINK that's the east/west one. But the bag i saw only had one strap...does east/west just refer to the size? or do all east/west only have one strap?

for example, this bag kind of looks the size i like, but it's double strapped. is it still an east/west?

finally, how much does a classic east/west (with the CC clasp) in caviar with silver hardware retail for now?


sorry for the long question!

^^I would suggest starting a new thread in the Chanel general discussion area. This thread is only for reference and not many people read it. You'll have faster responses in the main discussion area.

THANK YOU for this thread! It's so helpful.

Since this is a referrence thread, can you experts include the current prices for the Classic Flaps and the Reissues? TIA.
