Hi everybody!

I am about to decide whether I want to buy this preloved classic flap. Its my first Chanel so I would really appreciate your help. :love: :panic:

There is receipt from 2022. It should be “like new”. So my question is .. does this bag and overall caviar looks pretty to you? I know my own opinion is the most important.. but yahhh I really want to ask your guys either way because I don’t have anybody else to really consult :love: so please help thank you! It would be much much help !

I vote yes! It looks like the original owner bought and never carried the bag. The quilts appear to have the perfect amount of puffiness IMO (based on the pics). The only thing you may want to do before purchasing is to ask the seller if they can send you a direct front shot of the bag, with no angle, so you can see if the flap is completely straight across.
 
Go for it! This season caviar leather quality has a very nice shine n sheen to it, very 😍. I know some caviar leather for this classic model sometimes comes more matt looking n less puffy.
U may want to entrupy or zeko for authentication. Ask the reseller if they provide n inclusive.

Believe this model comes with the chip in n the bag since April 2021 onwards

I know a lot of people go for caviar for its durability, but I personally don’t think it looks the best. It doesn’t feel like leather either because the leather has been treated and so it feels a little like plastic. I suggest getting a lamb skin for your first bag. It is more sensitive but it looks and feels more luxurious and I hope you enjoy whatever you get

I agree. I sold all my caviar bags but one and replaced them with lamb or another brand’s bag.

This is so true ! I never use my black caviar small CF , and I didn’t get why until now. I have a black lambskin mini and I use ALL THE TIME. It definitely does feel more luxurious. But the caviar is still pretty. Now I’m so happy I got my pink CF in lambskin. It’s my Barbie era bag.

If OP wants a workhorse, I highly suggest the caviar. Lambkin if the purpose is more for personal entertainment/ fun.

Truly I love both leathers. They serve different purposes. The real question I have is authenticity. Where is the OP getting it from. Better be cautious.
 
Looks quite new to me. There is usually a faint crease at the back if the bag was used a few times
Oh, thank you for that info ! Thats quite usefull to know :smile:

I did worry a bit about that too to be honest, but I will keep that in mind next time I see one that I may like. :yes: thank you.
What do you know about its authenticity? That's number one.
I should be authentic, but I did not get the bag, so I have not authenticated myself. :smile:

Yes, thank you, I unfortunately missed out on this bag, but I will definitly use some kind of authentication service in the future. But usually I will look for bag where this is included. But I don't know whether you should authenticate again when you receive the bag, or.. should you just believe what the store/personal shopper that sourced the bag for you tells you.. :yes:
Classic flap produced this year seem very substantial in quality, puffy and gloss !!!! Look good to me.
Yes 2022 looks good indeed ! But unfortuantely I did not get it :doh:

Yes, I know many people who says that, but I already made up my mind about getting small classic in caviar, and someday in the future a mini lambskin :love:
I agree. I sold all my caviar bags but one and replaced them with lamb or another brand’s bag.
I see, but I don't have any classic caviar yet, so I really want one. :smile:

Pink cf sounds pretty! Hopefully I will get a mini lambskin in the future, but the small cf I really want it in caviar. :amuse:

Yes, I want a workhorse, that I don't need to baby. Even though I tend to baby everything:doh: So I guess caviar it is.
I prefer lamb but OP never brought up lamb lol
Just asked for thoughts on this caviar bag!
Thank you for standing the ground for me haha:lol:



UPDATE:

Thank you guys so much for helping me out with all your opinions! Sorry for not getting back earlier, but unfortunately I missed out on this bag :facepalm: But I will keep looking. hehe.
