Reissue 226 or 227 - Help Please!

[tayls]

Hi

I am on the waitlist for a 226 and 227 dark silver metallic 2.55 bag. I am second on the list for a 227 and 12th for a 226. I have not seen either IRL.

I mostly want this bag for evening use (i think). I have had in my mind that i really want a 226. So do i just get the 227 because i know i can or pass on the 227 and hope and wait for a 226.

Is the 227 like a jumbo? Is it too big for evening? I am only 5"3

Hope someone can help me decide as i need to let SA know ASAP of my decision.

TIA

If you plan on using it mainly for the evening, I would pick the 226 The 227 is too large for an evening bag.

227 is too big for an evening bag. more of a day bag. go with 226.

227 is definately too big for evenings, maybe you should also put yourself on the list for 225. Nightshade and I just bought 225, maybe you can check out our threads for pictures.

226 will suit your needs better.

heh yep i have to agree, the 227 is way too big for an evening bag. the 226's the way to go!

Since your so petite, i'd say even a 225!

226 can be both used as an evening and morning.. So go with the 226! (But I love the 227! )

 

[preciousmoment]

get 226. I think that's what you are looking for.

226 for petites. If you have alot of things to put in your bag then i guess 227, but I dont really fancy the lenght of the chain of 227.

226 is definitely a day to evening bag... but if you're gona use it as more of a day bag then I suggest 227... I use my 05 227 white reissue everyday... well almost... good luck on your decision! i dont think you can go wrong with either size really..

Thx ladies for your replies.


I have decided to go for the 226 as it is more versatile for my needs and i found out today that it is reserved for me so it is a definite...Woohoo!!!

I am pondering my first Chanel purchase - a reissue flap in either 226 or 227 size. My SA is recommending 227 as a great first bag. I am 5'2" 115 lbs. Any recommendations from you seasoned Chanel gals? TIA!
