I bought a small classic flap 1.5 years ago (stores were still half closed due to COVID at that time and not allowing people to try things on as readily). When I brought it home I started to have second thoughts due to the size. I have a small frame and while it looked fine on me, I thought that the medium would look better & fit much more in it. Chanel exchanged my small for a medium thankfully. I love my medium.

Happy to share the medium came in today and I brought her home! Thanks for everyone’s help. They SA’s were lovely, sweats and all!
Hey all, I’m new to this forum and chanel in general. I’ve been trying to get my hand on a cf in small caviar for ages. I just purchased one preloved. The flap on the sides doesn’t seem straight and there seems to be a gap at the bottom. Is this normal or do you think I should sent it back. I’ve attached a few photos, can someone please help me. Thank you xx
Thank you, I was panicking thinking there’s something wrong when comparing it to other pictures I’ve seen. As they looked straighter x
I have both mini and medium size classics. I refuse to purchase the small size because it holds the same amount as the mini size. I just figure why spend thousands more when I can spend less to fit the same amount of things? At least with mini and medium size, they are two different looks and can carry more or less. Just my humble opinion. ☺️
I agree with you. I myself own the ML and Mini as well. Both fit my needs perfectly. I like to wear the ML as the shoulder bag and the Mini as a crossbody.
I was hesitant to replace the ML with the small and I felt like it would be too redundant to just add the small because I already have the ML and Mini. So in the end, the Small doesn't have a place in my collection. And with the price increase, I just cannot justify the price tag these days.

Medium. not much price difference if you are already going there, Medium considered the most classic of CF, as right now.
My small CF is also exactly like that. Just the way it was bended & it doesn't bother me because you can't tell from the front.
Thank you. I wasn’t sure if it was only mine as I haven’t seen it on anyone else’s. I decided to keep it as it’s hard to find one preloved these days x
