Excellent video. Extremely real, practical and informative! Well done!

great video! loved the honesty and how you just get straight to it!

Thank you so much! Very helpful! Definitely buying that bag and subscribing! 💕💕

really helpful video, you gave me a lot to think about. You're the first person who made me consider the comfort of the chain using cross body. thanks!!

Beautiful bag! I haven’t decided which I’m going to get. I went to Chanel today❤️

Very informative and great video. I have just purchased chanel Classic medium GHW in Cavier leather its preloved from Vestiaire Collective website. I bought it medium because I will used it only for special occasions and dinners or lunch with friends. But I think jumbo is more like for daily basis or dressy as well but yea now I am enjoying my classic medium a lot. Thanks xx

I really appreciate your honesty and your straightforward manner. Your videos are so informative and helpful and you seem likes someone I'd be friends with IRL. Thank you for your perspective. I know what you mean about getting your first Chanel being a life changing event. Seems silly, but it's true!

Fantastic review! I'm kind of surprised that the sound didn't go away, that was a question I had but no one seemed to answer. I'm also happy you touched upon the weight, that's something I'm afraid of. It's such an investment that I don't want to make the wrong decision. In about a month I'll be at the boutique making a decision, hopefully I can make a decision before walking into the store.

Wonderful guidelines 😍

The sheen on the bag in the video looks supple!!! Makes me think pre loved is the way to go but I wanted my first flap to be new ... mate if another one I’ll get a pre loved. I too wanted a classic bigger bag than the WOC!!!! I love caviar leather as its durable!!!!! I wanna love it and use it like you!!!!!

Thank you, a very good, honest and informative reviews. You covered absolutely everything from first owning to practically using the bag. I think all of the bags are beautiful, but all have pros and cons. I am petite so the medium size looks perfect, and looks gorgeous on, however after only using the bags for the first fees days I realised that you can not fit too much in, only essentials. The jumbo is still beautiful but more practical, but then you have the bulkiness and the weight.

I am rewatching this video. Still enjoy it. Thinking of purchasing a jumbo - no not from the Chanel store - must be really DIM to buy it new, funding the super rich owners of Chanel. More of looking towards good deals in pre-love market.

Great video! I'm in need of something to hold more than the m/l and the weight of the jumbo is definitely keeping me away. It's a struggle though because the jumbo is such a classic!! Your makeup is bomb in this video! 💣💣

Lilacgan thank you dear . I need to use eyeliner more. Hahaha. I am just soooo lazy sometimes . Weight is something that you don't feel until you really use the bag. That's how I felt. Being resentful or disappointed is pointless coz I already spent the money. I just have to go to the gym, do more weight training for my shoulder and upper body 😹

Lilacgan hey I have a bad back/shoulder problem and I was really concerned about this with the jumbo but I decided to go for it anyways because the m/l is way too small for my lifestyle and after using it for a couple of hours, it is a little heavy but not to the point that its painful to use. So basically its not as heavy as it sounds compared to other types of leather bags which are more heavy 😁

Thank you dear ...

I really appreciate your honesty tanks! you er funny ;)

Hi Kat! Have you considered the older jumbo model single flap? Many of the KZreadrs prefer that version, saying it's much lighter

Megan Elizabeth gold brings out brown eyes? Hmm. Interesting!!!! I will definitely check it out the next time I look at gold hardware 😘

Thanks for that squeaky thing. Mine too. So its normal. I let go of the lambskin because the diamond design deflates. its very delicate. I cant fill it up. Also the XL or the largest size is so big. NOt easy to carry around. The large is the best size to start with. But for travelling around, bring the next smaller one. Reality is they are both heavy . The chains put so much weight. Its only nice to carry it around when you wont walk around for long.

lolol, i love it! thank you! :D

Hi Kat thanks for reply last question I have medium black classic flap with gold hardware but I am thinking about getting jumbo also which color should I go with beige caviar with Shw or black with shw?

@KatL

7 жыл бұрын

sehrish sultan hi dear, it really depends what are you going to use it for? Do u carry a lot of things? If yes, then maybe jumbo. If u are already using the medium and find that more than enough for your daily use, then stick with the medium. Like I said, jumbo is heavy and if u are not comfortable with heavy bags, u might end up not using it after you buy it. As for Colour, are you always running around during errands that u might run the risk of dirtying the bag (eg, putting it on the floor, car floor, knocking the bag around)? If so, stick with dark colours because u dowan to risk staining such an expensive bag.

Hi Kat, I have the same bag in gold hardware. It's my first chanel bag and going into its third year. I share the same sentiment as you. Do you think the weight (heavy) is due to the full leather lining and being double flap? My other single flap fabric lined bags weigh much less. Thanks for the video :)

@KatL

7 жыл бұрын

evonne dale hi dear, yes definitely. since they stopped producing the classic single flap in full leather lining, the double flap is the only original "classic" . I asked abt single flap n cloth lining, and even those it is also called "Chanel classic" - it is normally seasonally. These follow the classic design, but the true classic, are our double flap, full leather tanks. Hahaha. That's what the SA told me anyway, so hopefully she wasn't pulling my leg

Hi dear, right now - i would say, the jumbo. When i travel, i tend to bring more things - passport, 2 wallets, etc etc....the medium large is not big enough. The additional space from the jumbo really helps.

I sold my jumbo caviar because of the weight and also not a very practical bag overall due to cost per wear. It's a very gorgeous and classy bag though.
