Thanks to your video and some other KZreadr I was able to go return my Chanel bag! I’ve been saving finally I’ve enough and decided to buy a Chanel bag for my bday so I called the local store first was Chanel chadstone Melbourne the Sa said we got one but someone is looking at it and he said sorry it’s gone! So I called the Chanel Collin city store the sa said she got one for me it’s on hold prefect condition! When I get there I feel really uncomfortable the security and the staffs there keep looking at me! I was so excited didn’t have a look at it probably ( I thought they would do that for me) purchase it lucky I video it unblocked just in case and there’s a scratch also the bag wasn’t standing straight. I quickly msg the sa told her about it she replied we check the bag was prefect so I end up sending her the video! After that she still try to convince me that’s the bag is super rare and am I sure to return it!?? Omg yes I told her I pay a lot for it I would like it to be prefect so disappointed ☹️ I thought the staffs of Chanel should have a look out for their customers

Great video. I’m so happy for you. She is gorgeous and I’m so happy you are making her famous with this video! She is still so beautiful after all these years!!!

Such a helpful video! And your theory sounds very logical since I’ve not done heavy research and heard the same thing about quality being better on previous years which makes complete sense. You will be my go to when I’m ready for my first Chanel! And love the little calendar! How fitting! Thanks for sharing your whole saga and so happy you found your happy ending ❤️❤️❤️

Congratulations on this beauty! You inspired me to locate and purchase the same bag but from 2009, and I'm thrilled with it. The lambskin is amazing, so soft, supple, luxurious, and it feels thick and durable too. I love your videos, you have beautiful hands and such a soothing voice and of course you're a bright lady with such wonderful things to say. xox Jesse

Wow! Literally everything that you’ve said confirms my entire opinion about the quality of Chanel’s flap 😮 I also own a vintage medium flap but with gold ware hardware from early 2000’s, and I must say it’s holding up extremely well. I bought some felt from Michael’s to protect the bag... very inexpensive 😊 I’m honestly so happy to find your channel ! Thank you for this vid 🌸

I really can’t get over you experience a pop stitch & no apology from Chanel it’s self🤯 However, when I purchase my first Chanel it will definitely be pre loved! I find older bags are well made and actually worth the money due to how they are made. I’m happy you found a bag you love💕

Yes yes please upload a video of spa cleaning!😍 and if you know any information on how to spa clean a caviar bag.. even though yours is lambskin.. please share it with us! I'd really like to know because my bag is caviar😍

Yay !! You finally found one !! It’s beautiful ! Yes older bags are definitely superior when it comes to quality ! LV is the same.... quality 15 years back was far better than today ! Chanel prices brand new just don’t match the quality sadly! You got a great bargain with your bag 💖💖

my classic flap is vintage in caviar medium with gold hw & i will not sell it no matter what... i agree it's very well made!

Congrats on your classic flap! Getting a deal always feels great. My tan lambskin 2015 CF was around same price, hence why I couldn't resist. It's a shame I know now I'm just not comfortable using lambskin, but you do you. Buffing sheepskin and calfskin works also, I did it for small dents. Takes longer with calfskin however. My favorite cleaner is Collonil cleaning foam and Cadillac Care conditioner. I was also successful renewing corners to an old lambskin single flap with Kiwi polish. But nothing worked with the tan CF corners or darkening on flap, maybe bc newer lambskin, maybe bc color. Try to stay warm. ⛄XO

I just purchased my first vintage Chanel from fashionphile and received it last week (September 2021). To my surprise, the prior owner’s things were still in the bag including a hair clip, straight pin, and a few candy/gum wrappers. In addition the bag had a strong smell of talcum powder. I’ll be calling fashionphile to discuss. I’ll need to figure out how to thoroughly clean the bag as well.

Yes yes yes to everything. I’ve purchased and returned THREE classic flaps in the past 2 years.

hi the bag spa video would be great

Can I just say I LOVE how informative and transparent all your videos have been! I think your M/L vintage classic flap is beautiful and in such great condition. I have been on the hunt for one in EUC and finally stumbled across a lambskin double flap on fashionphile a week ago. I purchased it because the bag looked like it was in great condition for its age and the price was right! Everything checked out once I received it but did notice the burgundy interior seemed a little (very little) sticky. With your “experienced” opinion with Chanel bags, is this normal for an 8 year old purse? Did your vintage have a faint stick to it when you touch the interior of the bag? I’m worried that maybe over time, the interior will eventually start peeling?

@hellocatwalkcity

Aw I’m so glad you’re enjoying my videos! As for the stickiness under the flap, I’ve not experienced this before but perhaps it’s from moisture? I would sit it next to some baking powder to see if the moisture gets absorbed... or try asking the Leather Surgeons for advice!

Blow dryers are also life savers when it comes to scratches on a leather bag ! Anyway I’m so happy you found your chanel bag ! Buying pre loved can be a very good choice in that case, where the quality has decreased over the years. Also, yes I’m interested to see the spa treatment !

Hey! I don't know if the camera somehow distorts the picture of your bag. I just really get a lot of eye on the bag patterned "squares". it looks like they would not fit with the case lid and the case. so I mean the grids don't match. Especially on the other side of the bag?

Mari Hänninen It’s funny you mention that bc when I watched my own video after filming I noticed that too!! Oddly enough, in person, the bag lines up neatly. I think it showed up that way on camera bc of the way I was holding it from an angle!! Thanks for your concern!! 😊

I liked Fashionphile until I tried to resell them a LV Monty bag I got from them for around 700. It was exactly how I got it, I had only used it twice. They were offering me about 300 which really irritated me. I know they're trying to make a profit, but it was not even half what I paid for it.

Never had such a close look on a pre-loved Chanel classics. Wonder how long does it takes for the diamond quilting to lose the puffiness and become flat like this?

No odor except for leather smell! I made sure to check there was no odor on the Fashionphile listing as I’m pretty sensitive to odors.

Is it an authentic piece ? I watched on KZread that the “made in France” for classic flap lamp skin should be opposite to the Chanel stamp .. only caviar skin classic flap would have made in France under the Chanel stamp.

Yenny Chan Yes, 💯 authentic. Unfortunately there are some myths and misinformation out there about how to authenticate Chanel bags. What you’re referring to is one of those myths. Some of the lambskin classic flaps have their “Made in France” stamp on the opposite side of the “Chanel” stamp and some of them are on the same side. It all depends on the year / series it was made in. For my bag, it is correct. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching!
