Chanel 22 Mini Pros & Cons | 1st Impressions | What Fits | Husband Reacts to New Bag

[@Callmedelilah]

Thanks so much for making this. I just got this bag. We’re also the same height so I will probably get the chain adjuster 😊 also your husband’s review was sooo funny OMG!

[@ClaraZeela]

Yes thanks so much for your comment! My husband is so anti luxury lol!! Glad it's helpful!

[@the3dspage]

What a fun review with ur hubby! I love ur reactions to his thoughts, lol! I tried one on yesterday and think I'm going to purchase it. Thx for ur review and tips ❣️

[@ClaraZeela]

Thanks Debra ! It was fun to collaborate with Hubby. Good luck in your decision and glad this helped !!

[@the3dspage]

@@ClaraZeela it really did, thx! Do u have the small too or just the mini?

[@ClaraZeela]

@@the3dspage Just the mini, i believe Amy has both the small and the mini but i'm happy to just own the mini for now :)

[@the3dspage]

@@ClaraZeela yes, I knew Amy has both, but I wanted ur opinion if u had both too. I think I'll be happy with the mini as a small crossbody & the Margaux 15 as an everyday lightweight large bag. I was thinking of getting the small 22 and saving some $ instead of both of the others, but they are so different I think I'll be happy with both.

[@ClaraZeela]

@@the3dspage I don’t own the small as I’m concerned the chains may get heavy if I load up the bag. With the mini it has one leather strap so it’s less painful and the option to hand carry or hold as a clutch bag if that makes sense. Even if I got the small I likely wouldn’t fill it up as the chains would definitely dig. The Margaux is so beautiful. I’ve been tempted to get the size 12 but concerned the bottom may be too wide for cross body or shoulder carry. I think the 15 looks great with the slouchiness!! For me I prefer tote bags that go over the shoulder for larger bags as I just have weak arms 🤣

[@karenphu998]

I have the exactly the same bag……..I took out the 2 long crossbody straps……..then I actually love this bag more……….. Without the 2 long strap, I use it a shoulder bag or hand held bag. Again, I modify the bag to meet my needs…………..I’m not about trying to make money from a bag that the bag’s primary function is to give me JOY.

[@queenstownotago4538]

That was gold !

[@Vrionateo]

Love your review! Can you help to share the Taobao link to your leather protectors for the chain?

[@CeeinOC]

Clara please have Mr. K as a guest in your videos more often 😂😂 “are you doing an ad for them?” 😂😂

[@greeneyedcatwink]

Bravo Mr. K! Love it.

[@marywalquist210]

Clara Z sponsored by Chanel!! Hooray

[@ClaraZeela]

Yeah, "I WISH!" hahahah 🤣

[@4theloveofbags900]

☠️☠️🤣 I love Mr.K honesty. I personally love the bag, but I throughly enjoy Mr. K’s thoughts 🤣

[@FashionablyAMY]

You are both so funnny!! The 22 mini is great and by the looks of it, you are using yours more than me 😂 I think for a fashion bag (not an utility bag) 7 seems fair lol

[@ClaraZeela]

Hi Amy, yes I've been able to use it quite a few times as I've been too lazy to change bags too often. But yes he's likely going to rate every bag a 7!! hahaha 🤣. Have a great weekend!

[@issineev9037]

I really enjoy when I hear mr. K comments. Its super cute btw you and mr. K when having a debate about girls' world 😆😆. Really love your thought about lux items. ^^

[@ClaraZeela]

Thank you! Glad you are enjoying the videos!

[@kris_tan]

May I know where did you get the silk organiser?

[@ClaraZeela]

HI Kris I got mine on TaoBao, you can check the link to see if they have an organizer that is suitable for your bags :)

[@michellecrawford5692]

Where did you buy your insert? Great video. Thank you!

[@ClaraZeela]

Thanks for your comment, please see the description box for the link. Mine is from TaoBao but I don't know if they shop overseas. Good luck!

[@yp3728]

Mr K is savage 😂😂 u r so cheeky when answering the price 😅😅

[@dimdull]

I am very interested in your bag insert, may I know the measurement and May I have the link to purchase the insert. Actually I am looking for something similar for my LV noe pouch. My existing bag insert does not have a zip. And your husband’s reaction to your Chanel 22 really cracks me up. He is so brutal with his assessment and you… so sneakily (much like me 😅) dodging the price questions. 😂😂😂

[@ClaraZeela]

HI Dim Dull, my insert is from TaoBao. I have put a link in my description box.

[@DreamGurlOreo]

Where did you find the protector for the chain opening? Very interested.

[@ClaraZeela]

It’s from TaoBao

[@kathleenparry1762]

12/1. I’m confused about all the straps. How can you cinch it?

[@ClaraZeela]

I use a chain adjuster to shorten the two chains. You can get them from Chanel or through a third party aftermarket company.

[@Peachlover345]

Mr K is so honest

[@carlyshum28]

Where do you get the leather protectors for the chain?

[@ClaraZeela]

I got them from TaoBao but I don't think they ship outside of Asia.

[@Sandra-bq3vm]

Your husband is so funny! I am thinking about getting this bag for my birthday but I am not sure. I already have a white small 22 that I bought at the end of last summer, which I have not used due to its color and the season. I will try to use it this weekend and maybe spray it with a color protector first. Mini size is so expensive especially since it's so much smaller and does not even come with a extra bag or the magnetic closure like the small size so I am contemplating. Also wondering if I should get a mini lady Dior instead since the prices are similar and Lady Dior is a classic that that I don't have in my collection. Do you think mini 22 is worth it? It was not affected by the recent price increase so that is another reason I think I should get it before its too late....

[@ClaraZeela]

Thks for your message. Personally it was worth it for me as it's my recent most used bag. I do have an insert inside for security (can be a zipped pouch). Why are you not using your 22, is it because of the color? I don't like the mini Lady Dior, it fits too little and the Chanel mini 22 I feel goes with more outfits.

[@Sandra-bq3vm]

@@ClaraZeela Thanks for your reply. I am really leaning towards getting it next weekend when I visit the store. Hopefully they will have either the black one or a color I love. The white small 22 is so pretty to look at especially since it seems to have a shimmer to it. Yes it’s the color that makes me afraid to use it. I thought white would be the best for summer since it goes with everything. I am probably gonna have to spray it with color guard or something but I am also afraid that it will change the color or affect/ruin the leather. I should just use it and enjoy it. Thanks for your thoughts on the lady Dior. You are probably right that I’ll enjoy and get more use out of Chanel.

[@kiki9355]

I use this bag as a shoulder bag

[@jo_overjoyeod]

lol mr K is absolutely brutal 🤣🤣🤣 he just wanted dinner la 😅

[@ClaraZeela]

hahaha 🤣

[@KwantumKitty]

Mr K is so critical of everything! 🤣

[@kris_tan]

Yay first

[@ClaraZeela]

Wow 🤩!! You are up so late !! Have a good night 😴

[@kris_tan]

Your husband has good point such as weight and why it doesn't come with bag organiser. Love your husband answer as he know you will "angry" if he gives honest opinion 😂😂😂

[@jennn9637]

I think this bag looks edgey and cool. Mr K got it the wrong way round, we r not advertising for this brand. Its the other way round…lol

[@annsim1133]

😂❤

[@annsim1133]

Clara, I wonder should I go ahead to grab one of the latest mini22 with pearls...since recent incidents happening in Chanel fashion house, FYI, I did not own a Chanel bag yet pls pls help 😄 I need advice

[@elwingw4321]

Don’t you think Chanel is mocking their customers? Something so small , has zero security and basically just a small pouch that doesn’t even cinch yet charging thousands of dollars.

[@ClaraZeela]

Chanel is a fashion house not a utility driven house. It’s just a fashion accessory and luxury has always been “optional”. Nobody is forcing anyone to buy luxury bags. There are plenty of useless bags on the market that ppl chase after. They come in every brand and it’s just up to the user whether they feel it’s worth their money or not. I also own cheaper bags that are more functional from COS and other no name brands. But I’ve also enjoyed his bag with a secure insert. Only the person buying the bag can assess whether it’s truly worth it for them and their budget. Again it’s an option not a necessity.
