This bag is incredible, I even carried a mini umbrella WITH my phone, keys, and airpods in it!! Only thing I couldn't fit in with all those things is my medium-sized wallet, but I just stuck one card and one bill in the open back compartment. It rains so much here that I always have to carry my umbrella with me just in case. My second criteria for small bags after whether it fits my phone is whether it fits my umbrella 😂😂
I have a Small Classic Flap, Caviar Leather and Gold Hardware. I sold a Lambskin WOC with GHW because it barely fit anything. I think my next purchase will be the exact same bag you have. It’s $5200USD now but I miss the Lambskin Leather and I want a Chanel bag with Silver Hardware. I was told that the length of the chain can be shortened with by a leather surgeon.
I still love my LV reverse monogram#nkuwan clutch! It's versatile, fits a variety of items, and is definitely a workhorse! I think seeing it everywhere (like the LV speedy) is proof that it's already a classic.
I have a square mini, but after watching this now I want a rectangle mini!!! I do find the mini rect’s drop a bit too Long on shorter frames though but nothing that can’t be adjusted w a shortener
I just bought a so black patent classic mini from Casa Mesa boutique in L.A.; $4700. I prefer it over the woc, as my key fob and phone will not fit in a woc evenly. The mini is better all around as it carries more and still works crossbody. I almost bought that exact bag you have two years ago; it was $3800, so yes, it is quite valuable and a good investment when cared for. Thank You for the review; beautiful bag.
Yes, the mini rectangle is definitely more of a proper bag whereas the woc is more of an slg! They have increased in price so much in a relatively short amount of time! Thank you for your kind words and support! ❤️
@@FariyaDoll21 always so happy to see my fellow Canadians here!! There are quite a few being resold! Personally, I’m not going to sell mine so I wanted it brand new! Plus, the resale ones are all the same price as new ones so no point for me to buy preloved.
If you don’t mind me suggesting, if you need to maximize space on the mini, try a flat card holder, plus your mini Pochette or even better the o-card case/pouch and you will still have space for sunglasses, key holder, lipstick and all;). Enjoy your mini, I love mines;)
I’m trying to decide between black/silver or a fun color mini rectangular. I already have a black/gold small classic amd a red mini square caviar. Love yours 💜
Omg Nicole, I feel like you're literally always one of the first ones to watch my new uploads! ❤️I want a single flap too! The diane is gorgeous and something different from the typical classic flaps! If you ever do get one, let me know how you like it!
Beautiful bag! I love mini rectangular bags! Did you consider getting the mini rectangular with top handle? I have both and if was to restart my collection over again, I’d get the one with a top handle because it’s lighter and you can add just a little more items!
@@IreneSimply I just made a video about turning your mini rectangular into a top handle bag. Check it out if you want! It was inspired by “Dear Miss W”
You’re welcome! I’m glad you liked it, and yes, the lambskin is seriously so luxurious and shiny!! It’s a favourite for sure (if not THE MOST favourite!) ☺️
What months out of the year are these bags usually sold in? I’m flying to Paris next month and I’m hoping to find this bag at one of the Chanel boutiques out there but I didn’t know it was a seasonal piece until I watched your video 🥺🥺🥺
Hi Gisela, I’m not entirely sure to be honest with you. I purchased mine in August. However, I’m not sure if they come out with a new batch for each new season, with limited quantities. To be sure, I would check in with an SA!
Thanks for the support!! Mmm it really depends. For instance, I have no interest in the mini square so I only wanted the rectangle and I loved the shiny lux finish the lambskin gives. But if you want both, I would consider which one I would take out more regularly and get that one in caviar. Either way, they’re beautiful! 😊
This bag is amazingly lovely! So as you! 🥰 What’s the model or code of this bag? Just asking for more accuracy to ensure I’ll not be getting the wrong bag 😂
Thank you! Mine is the classic mini flap bag (often referred to as the mini rectangle). On the website, I see the same bag in gold hardware. The reference number is: A69900 Y04059 94305
Awesome video🙂. Can i ask how's the leather? Will it cracked or scratches easily then the caviar leather? I'm looking for a chanel bag like this. Hope you can let me know more about the leather. Please & thank you 😊
Hi Tiffany! The leather is definitely more delicate than caviar leather but there’s no cracking, and I live in a very dry climate. For minor surface scratches, you can buff it out with a soft cleaning cloth but not for deeper scratches, so you do have to be more careful. However, I love the texture of the lambskin and it is so soft and plush compared to the stiffer appearance and feel of the caviar.
Please help! I don't know if I should get this or the Dior Saddle Bag. Obviously, this is more classic but I feel like my clumsy self might ruin the lambskin.
Oh boy that’s a tough one! I don’t own the saddle bag but I’ve been eyeing it up too. I would say the Chanel is more classic and if you want something more timeless, it’s definitely a safer choice. Plus we’re all aware of how well they retain their resale value. I might be a bit biased but I feel the Chanel should be first on your list between the two options.
Do you wear it everyday? I want to buy and wear it everyday but I'm cautious as people are scaring me talking about scratching it But... I don't want to buy 2nd hand I don't want to buy Small just to get in caviar. I just don't want to regret my choice!
It’s a big financial decision, so i completely understand! Honestly, I don’t use mine much lately because I have so many other options that are more carefree! But that’s not to say I regret my purchase at all, cause I don’t. It will always be one of my dream Chanel bags. But since you’re looking for an everyday bag, I’m not sure if this would be the best option as it doesn’t fit a whole lot and especially not with the lambskin. 🙈
You’re lucky you purchased when you did. Now it’s almost double the price. I’m not sure if I’m willing to pay $5300 plus tax for this. Wow! The strap is not even adjustable for that price. I’ll pass!
Irene Simply it’s $5300 CAD plus tax. Which is insane, for a mini bag. They went from a higher quality material to a lesser quality, yet increased the price.
Wow, see that’s why I’m feeling like I might not purchase other new items from Chanel unless I’m looking in the preloved market. It’s getting to be insane.
Not relevant at all but your mouth has the most atttractive form ever. I couldn't get my eyes of it. And im a girl and cant be straighter 😅 nice review though
My niece recently bought a luxury bag from #HIDUPS that I thought looked almost identical to the real thing and included a dust bag and a gift box. Have you ever bought a duplicate bag from this place
