Deciding btw Jumbo vs Medium, Caviar vs. Lambskin, Gold vs Silver Hardware

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

The decision for the right Chanel double flap for me thinking of size (medium vs. jumbo), type of leather (lambskin vs. caviar) and hardware (gold vs. silver) was very very difficult for me. So I thought that this video might be helpful to others facing a similar situation.
In this video I also touch on quality concerns about the gold hardware, the sensitivity of the lambskin leather, and the different sizes on my body frame and more ...
I really hope this video helps and you enjoy the process of choosing your dream bag :)
I post a lot of outfits on my blog and on Instagram ;)

    Beautiful bag and great choice. I have the M/L flap as well as a vintage jumbo and they really are very different. I prefer the M for going out at night and the jumbo for everyday use which is why I went for a vintage bag that I wouldn't have to baby while I'm shopping, etc. they are both beautiful but if I could only have one, would definitely choose the M/L. Thanks for the video - always love seeing other opinions! ❤️

    Very informative video thank you. I have the WOC in caviar as my first bag and I didn't like how it wears and dull looking. So it was easy for me to choose the lambskin in Classic Flap as my second piece. I am not into big bags so I got the medium size and love the gold hardware. The lambskin is not as sensitive people think and the cloth glove they provide can be used to buff all superficial scatches and gives a beautiful shine to the bag. I don't regret and love it. xxx

    Lambskin looks definitely more luxurious, especially the combo with gold is divine. Try to give your woc a buff with the cloth that it came with, it may help to gain the shine back too. Thank you so much for watching and for your comment. Xxx

    hmmm this is good info too because i always hear caviar would be more durable if you are a little rougher . ty

    I thank you for watching dear. I would have definitely bought a preloved one. But I could not find any from a reliable source that was in a great condition at a good price. The price difference of the preloved bags I liked were very close to brand new ones :(. I hope you are more lucky

    Thank you for the review! I wanted the gold hardware but was undecided but what you mentioned about the discolor I don't want that! Can't believe this expensive bag with Chanel quality could fade the hardware 😭

    Great video! Thanks for the advise. I have decided to go for medium flap with silver hardware, but really torn between lanmskin and caviar. I love the look and feel of lambskin, and also the durability of caviar. Any suggestions?

    Oh dear! I know, it is so difficult, isn't it? Many people say the lambskin is not as sensitive as assumed. But my SA definitely talked me out of it. Would you get stressed out over (light) scratches on your bag? Do you plan to sale the bag one day? If yes than you may want to rethink the lambskin :)

    I also bought the medium classic as my first Chanel and love it and glad I have it, but I still couldn't stop thinking about the jumbo, so I eventually added it to my collection .... As you said the bags are very different ... I'm guessing you are now a mummy as you were eight months pregnant in this video, I would like to wish you many congratulations and wishing you and your family happiness always .. xx

    Me again! I just noticed (only notice after I post stuff...) the bags I like are actually quite small, not for every day use. I think I'll get MG's lady bag soon for work since it has a very 'smart' look and it's also super light. I really fell in love with it after seeing Gigi Hadid carrying it!!!! Highly recommend!

    +thankstofashion oops! Just noticed a couple of typos. 😬😬😱😱 I actually like their small bags more than the classic sizes. I have a woc and it's super functional, especially for traveling. I also like the mini square, maybe I'll get one later? The strap of mini square is shorter than before so I can't do crossbody anymore. I think le boy, old medium and new medium sizes, are super cute too! Anyway I will suggest you to try the woc since you apparently travel a lot!

    I've already tried the Woc and liked it a lot but then saw the mini and was so in love. That was for sure one of my quickest luxury purchases ever :). With the Boys I have to say I was disappointed because for me they did not feel as luxurious as the other bags from the fashion house normally do. But they do look gorgeous and I love seeing them on others.

    This is an excellent review. Thank you for sharing your advice, very helpful. I love your choice of M/L and caviar... how is it holding up for you, and do you still wear it much or have you swapped it for more of a "mommy bag" these days? 👛 xx

    Lambskin is nice but too shiny for today's casual way of life. The caviar seems more laid back but yet sophisticated. I sold my lambskin flap because it was too high maintenance as well.

    You should look at the Chanel 2.55 reissue bags. They are lighter and neater than the classic flaps.

    Wow, I L O V E the look of the maxi. In my opinion the maxi size is one of the most stylish, trendy but timeless and sporty CC styles. I have never had it in my hands but I can imagine that it is not that heavy actually since they are not double flapped and their leather also seems to be softer.
