I just love Chanel. My collection of bags, shoes and accessories is growing and I could watch and research Chanel bags constantly.

@jdivina15 6 лет назад

I think a good tip is always ask for different sizes. You might be set on one size but then you realize you prefer a smaller or bigger size but it's already too late since you bought it. I was so set on the maxi classic flap because I'm 5'8 and tall, so I thought it would be good for me. Tried it on, and I was so sure, and also a little dazed because it's a Chanel store so you don't really think rationally, you're just giddy to get the bag you want. I didn't even ask for the jumbo. So now I've had my maxi for 6 months, and I carried my friend's jumbo and I realized the jumbo was much better size, in terms of the bag itself, and the chain length. The maxi has a short chain, but a really big bag. So it's such an awkward bag. No matter how many times you set yourself to a bag, especially in size, always try the other options in store because your body type is always different from the photos and videos you see while researching for the bag you want.

@ChaseAmie 6 лет назад

Exact same thing happened to me! I bought the maxi when I didn't know much about Chanel sizes and then regretted it after. VERY good advice! :)

@estherganzon6700 6 лет назад

Gabriel Divina the dazed part is so real. I was the same way the first time.

@sushichan268 5 лет назад

I almost fell for the maxi too many yrs ago ( my height of 5ft 8inches) but after researching on you tube the many bloggers who made comparisons , finally I got my jumbo , and been collecting them since..

@JassyPooh01 4 года назад

I don't think I'll ever actually own a Chanel but I love hearing about them and seeing what styles/colors collectors go for. I'm a sucker for a boy bag and the smaller ones!

@reginaibrahim182 2 года назад

me too. It;s amazing after spending so much money, then followed by some extra care...

@merrywalsh2809 5 лет назад

I live in the US. My local Chanel store keeps a detailed waiting list. The SAs are all so nice and helpful, I have never had to wait for help in the store and my personal SA has called me quicker than expected on my waitlist requests so far. This Chanel is inside Nordstrom, so I get a lot of Nordy Notes and points as well, when I buy a Chanel bag there.

@NigarSultanaMouri 5 лет назад

@ashyates583 5 лет назад

Oh gosh I know this video is like 2 years old, but thank you for posting it! I've fallen in love with the jumbo classic flap completely unexpectedly (I never even considered luxury bags before), and having more information will help me plan and save for it. Thank you!!!

I am so obsessed w the chanel flap bags 😍 they are so beautiful. I own sooooo many similar looking bags from various more affordable brands who were obviously inspired by the chanel classic flap (bebe, guess ,etc. ) but the Chanel is like the queen of those types of bags. When I look at one in my head there is alwats beams of light and angelic music coming from it 😂😍anyone else?

@ashleys2943 6 лет назад

Totally agree about the double flap! I bought a pre loved jumbo single flap years ago before I knew the difference and i so wish I got the double flap for the exact reason you mentioned, the top of the bag has lost that nice rounded shape :( The only way I can get it is when the bag is quite full but then it becomes uncomfortable to carry with so much weight on the chain strap. Double flap all the way!

@everlongLVoe 6 лет назад

Thoughtful video. I take exception to your comment that single flaps are not considered classic flaps. They are both considered classic flaps. Chanel stopped making the single flaps in 2010. But they are still considered classic flaps, and many actually prefer the single flap over the double flap.

@peggytan4610 6 лет назад

My Chanel has a zipped compartment and a single flap. I bought it in Chanel in Munich but I honestly have no idea what to call it lol but I super love it 😍

@nkiseki 6 лет назад

Love this. If you have a specific bag you're looking for, let the SA know, and if you're looking for the black mini, there's apparently always a waitlist so get yourself on that waitlist.

@annikafernandez6270 6 лет назад

Thank you for this video, followed your tips about calling the store in the morning and was FINALLY able to hunt down my beautiful black mini square with gold hardware in lambskin! This after many months of texting with a SA, he never contacted me about this bag and they had even two in the store, other one in Chevron, when my husband called this morning and ran for it haha! I'm now the happiest square mini owner of the world!! 😍

@rebeccalee2187 6 лет назад

@socobbb 3 года назад

Yes, in the US they will add you to a wait list. I am currently on a wait list for a mini rectangular. The sales associate told me he would work on getting one for me, but it could take from a couple of week to months. Those hard to get bags are basically sold behind the scenes, you will not see them on the floor. Sadly.

@amyc2109 6 лет назад

Could you do some more career videos please Amie? I could listen to you forever, you're so informative! Xx

@MagnoliaAlba 6 лет назад

Thanks for the tips Amie!! I recently became obsessed with Chanel and have been very blessed to be able to obtain a very good amount this year. I do regret getting so many in such a short span of time. For one, I did NOT know about the possibility of "bad batches" of leather. When I went in to get my medium classic flap in caviar leather, I noticed the bag creasing before using. I went back to the boutique to exchange it only to find that the other bags brought out were not much better. I decided to keep it and went to a different Chanel boutique to try my luck only to be shocked that it was even worse... The leather of my medium is surprisingly A LOT softer than my jumbo (both in caviar).

@murphy2823 5 лет назад

Thank you! I'm planning on purchasing a bag for my mother. This helps me a great deal. I won't seem so clueless at the shop.

@vffashionista7429 6 лет назад

I bought a mini flap and the following week tried to buy the Med/large classic double flap and was declined by Chanel. Apparently there is a strict rule that you can’t purchase two classics in the same month. So my point is, Chanel considers the mini flap as a classic.

Excellent informative video! I'd love to see a comparison between the small flap vs the mini and medium/large. Particularly what fits, and what size you prefer of the 3. I'm always so curious about the small size and it's not as common.

Great video. Definitely will not be able to afford a Chanel bag for a long time, but hopefully, when I do get the chance to buy one down the road, I will definitely take your tips into consideration. I do want to at least go into a store and actually see one and be able to inspect it in person one day soon. Chanel is the only luxury bag that I would probably ever buy, even though all your other bags are amazing, I would rather save my money and get a Chanel since I have always wanted one. Thanks for the great Video! :)

@marsee965 6 лет назад

Very informative comparison, for me being a fellow shorty lol at 5’ ft love the look of the rectangular but now I see it wouldn’t work out for me. 🙄😁

@myrnam7885 6 лет назад

I was very lucky each time I went duty free shopping in T3 or T5, they had the minis in stock either in square or rectangular. Plus it probably helped the new collection was delivered on the day we was flying out. For me, I’d called Heathrow around 4-5ish just because the delivery would be delivered by 1ish then it would be unboxed during the off peak times between 2-4ish. Btw new cruise collection should be in the shop by Tuesday or Wednesday next week how exciting!!! I was travelling the same time last year when I’d turned down mini square for something else darn it I wish I’d should of just bought both bags 😅😅😅

@ChaseAmie 6 лет назад

Oh that IS exciting! I'm travelling on Friday - I can't wait to see it!

@myrnam7885 6 лет назад

Chase Amie are you flying out for your wedding dress?? 😅 btw I’d ordered rag&bone margot boots they’re perfect! Plus it was only £115 but the only problem was rag&bone shipped 3 orders that’s not mine....I have called them to let know but they aren’t in a rush to collect it pretty annoying because it’s a huge box image you thought you’d ordered one item then a huge heavy box delivered....my husband wasn’t impressed with me😒😵

@ChaseAmie 6 лет назад

I'm actually flying out to spend Thanksgiving with my family! We try and do it every year :) (although I am squeezing in a bridal appointment too!). Still love the Rag & Bone boots! So glad you like them too (even with the extra boxes haha!) :) xx

@myrnam7885 6 лет назад

Chase Amie very nice, I wish we was going this year but instead going skiing instead 😅😂your family isn’t that far from my family we stay in West Covina...when I watch your vlog in LA it’s like you go places where we go to like downtown, Disneyland & Victoria Gardens, The Grove & my favourite South Coast Plaza 😊💕 actually spent our thanksgiving last year in NYC it’s my profile picture with my baba but now I have 2 babas😂 anyways have a great thanksgiving and enjoy sunny LA!

I got a really nice lambskin vintage bag that is 25 years old and it is still in really good condition. I think the owner used it occasionally which is what I am going to do too. Its my first Chanel and I have no idea when I will get another one lol. Its on my Chanel

@redblue847 6 лет назад

Curious... Aside from lambskin and caviar, Chanel classic flaps has patent leather as well... but how come the patent leather is not as popular as lambskin and caviar?

@kimberlydobbs6156 6 лет назад

I have heard from a friend with one that they "squeak" / make a noise when opening and closing. Although, I ordered a pre-loved one and didn't find it to be too annoying, but because it wasn't in pristine condition, I ended up sending it back. My SA has also said they are bad for color transfers - once something gets on it, it is pretty much on it and you can't get it off. Kimberly Instagram @kimberlydobbsstyle

@alaiaadam5767 2 года назад

💥💥💥💥💥 Caviar is more strong 💪🏻 and wearable daily than lambskin They give you buffing cloth with the bag to refresh it 10:27 Double flap is better than single to maintain the shape, although it makes the bag heavier

Great presentation! The first Chanel you have bought and has been very durable might be made with goat skin, not lamb skin. Goat skin has that kind of shine, thicker and much more durable than lamb skin. I have a goat skin vintage Chanel bag, it is much more durable and water resistant.

In 2 months my leather of my timeless shopper had peeled of completely. For the price i paid it shouldnt Fall apart in such a short time. I send it back regret selling my boybag for it ( Will buy it again) Still waiting How chanel wil solve it. Im kinda ocd on my bags and baby them Like crazy. My classic caviar items are perfect! Lambskin is lovely

@kimberlydobbs6156 6 лет назад

Hello lovely! I have found them to be super nice - I shop at the one here in Dallas, and everyone has been amazing! I have not found that to be the case at LV or Gucci however - they always seem to be snobby here! ;) My SA is very helpful and educated me on the history of the pieces and always works with me to find the perfect ones for my collection and my style. You can ask to try on the different sizes - which I highly recommend! Many times they look different when you try them on than you expected! You can pay with a card or cash - I have done both and here in Dallas the counters are out in the open. They will wrap the bag up in front of you with all the pretty packaging! Don't be intimated - just walk in like you belong there! :) And if you don't click with your SA, find another one! A good one will never make you feel silly for asking questions and they will give you their honest opinion. Mine knows I have a very specific style and she always helps me find the pieces that fit in perfectly - not just trying to sell me something, simply for the sake of selling. Good luck!!! Kimberly Instagram: @kimberlydobbsstyle

@ChaseAmie 6 лет назад

Great advice already! In the very busy stores, you now sometimes get added to an ipad waitlist until there's a SA ready to see you. That can take 10-20 minutes. In the quieter stores, you can just ask someone if they look free. They should let you see any bags you want and try them on as well. If you ask, most will let you take photos too :) In the Chanels I've been to, you get escorted to a sit down desk area to pay. They take the bag out of sight to package up and then someone else deals with your payment. Once you're done, your SA will come out with your packaged up bag. They definitely make buying an experience in store! :)

@MzAnnnaLe 6 лет назад

They are all nice! You just need to be patient because my store is always busy. Look around at the display cases while you wait but when an SA comes to assist you, tell them what you're looking for (example Boy Bag, deciding between small or medium and if you have a preference to caviar, lamb, or calf skin). They have goodies in the drawers and back closets that they can show you. You can try all of them on and inspect the bag before buying it
