CHANEL bag masterclass - how to choose the most iconic Dacob approved Chanel bags for you

[@sachermasoch4930]

Dacob, you are the only KZbinr I am aware of who really truly ENJOYS their luxury items (not to mention you're very knowledgeable about your favorite brands). I can see how you enjoy the texture, the smell and the small details of your bags. It's amazing! It's obvious you're not seeking validation through the bags and you do these videos because you really really LOVE these bags. I very much like your channel because of your authenticity. I respect you EVEN MORE for the Anna Bey live, you should definitely post that video! You're "super" for a reason!

[@SuperDacob]

Thank you so much Sacher The Anna video is coming. I always record live all my videos on a Saturday and then they slowly come out, one after the other, on a daily basis, so it just takes a short while but all the videos find their way to my channel the following week or weeks. As for my bags... I love them so much. They fascinate me so much: their shape, smell, materials and how they fit to the body and how tactile they can be, their history, the design and work that went into making them. They bring me a lot of joy :)

[@sachermasoch4930]

@@SuperDacob Good to know; looking forward to the video :)

[@mbelieve9919]

And I 100% agree about the Small Classic Flap over the mini! I recommend looking at the resale market photos of minis and how they do not hold up like the classic flaps. They are constructed very differently and there is a reason that there is a price difference of a couple thousand dollars between the two. They also do not have convertible straps on the mini, except for the mini reissues.

[@xixspazxix]

I fell in love with WOC style, perfect size for the new iphone which is basically my only purpose for having a purse. It can also fit a couple more items so i see what you mean about it being more of a bag than a wallet. The key for me was it's practical, i love the utility, and it's more subdued than the other chanel items (i dont like flashy logos) Love love love love love my WOC thanks for all the tips on how to change chain length, i had no idea!!!

[@mello2365]

Truly adore your passion for these pieces, and the lengths you’ve gone into laying out all the information/history in detail is brilliant, Dacob! Also love how much you emphasis ‘slow buying’ as opposed to impulse buying. After really giving it some thought, minimal, classic black, utilitarian bags really appeal to me, so the 2.55 would be my ultimate pick re bags-the historical connection to Coco is also a big plus. The multi-functional chain and pared back look of the WOC really appeals to me too, so these will be the only ones in mind as milestone gifts. Speaking of WOC, are there any other high quality wallet on chains from other brands you’d recommend?

[@janitapanos240]

I’ve wrapped the chain on my Chanel WOC so it’s in three and it’s is so cute this way too!

[@tulipflower2744]

Thank you for an in-depth video. I respect your joy and appreciation for Chanel handbags. I have owned 2 double flaps bags, one was the medium/large 2.55 black with ruthenium hardware and a medium Classic black caviar with silver hardware. They did satisfy my hunger for the double flap. I agree with your comments on the double flap. I also agree that black is the right colour to start with when buying a Chanel bag. In fact black is the right colour for me. I always use my black bags. My most recent purchase is a mini rectangular bag which I love but if I had never owned a double flap the mini would not have satisfied me. I was only interested in the mini rectangular bag until and after I had owned a double flap. I am now planning to buy a mini 2.55 in black with ruthenium hardware. The size of the minis work for me really well for outside work.

[@Alisha-hs8xj]

Thank you for being honest about the chain lengths. Friends thought I was insane when I recently passed up a black mini square at the boutique because the chain length just looked too short on me. I ended up going for a tweed rectangular mini and love my 2.55 as I feel they are better proportioned and fit me perfectly.

[@SuperDacob]

[@pisomadridful]

Loved this video! Totally agree with you that brands like Chanel (and Hermès particularly!) they want you to buy small items to satisfy somehow your aspiration and calm your anxiety while you save up to purchase the “big” holy grail bag. I have just bought my holy grail - the Small Classic double flap in lambskin and in black color with GHW. I am over the moon ♥️. My first Chanel was a 2.55 (in the old 226 size), also black with GHW, that I bought in 2015. Also, did you know that there is now a clip to shorten the WOC chain? They give it to you at the boutiques when you buy a WOC. But if you have already a WOC and you buy another classic bag, you can ask for the clip and they’ll give it to you as well. Hope this helps. And thanks for this wonderful content you’re creating, keep up the great work! 😘

[@kathleenem9207]

My first bag was the Jumbo caviar double flap with GHW. My second was a medium dark navy blue Boy in Caviar. ( I wear a LOT of navy- very practical for me). I’ve never regretted either one. My next will be a black 255 reissue in medium or small with SHW. Wonderful video with excellent advice.

[@Mommyingthis]

New sub! Thanks for your help with my 2.55 224. Been binging on your knowledge lol. I just purchased the jumbo … I can’t believe how much I paid when I turned it down when so black first came out. I also have the medium in beigeclair and the trendy cc WOC so I’m pretty much complete w Chanel. I have a season chain around hobo bag from years ago and a medicine style bag from like 2005. With price increases I needed a jumbo to complete my 224 or mini size and medium… but for prices I can’t buy it anymore. I have a Kelly 32 and birkin 35 that I love so I feel I’m complete with my timeless bags… I can have more fun with other brands and items now but disappointed in Chanel prices

[@lauramorris1584]

First, I watched a few of your videos and love your vibe and collection. Here are my thoughts after buying Chanel for about 15 years. My first bag was a single flap jumbo in caviar with gold hardware in 2015. I think the coco handle is also a great first bag. It transitions from day to night well and is so easy and stylish because you can carry it by the handle. The bag looks very much like a classic and is a few thousand cheaper. I have several classic flaps and reissues and I always reach for my coco handles. I prefer the mini coco handle because I can wear it cross body but the small is much more practical since it holds more. I also like my square black mini more than my rectangular black mini. The square black mini is a great bag for black tie events where the rectangular is too casual. Overall, I think it is good to start a collection like yours with black variations and then add color as years go on. It took me years to add color.

Hello! Thank you so much for this video bc it’s extremely helpful. You cover just about all the issues that I have with purchasing a Chanel bag. I bought a wallet on chain at Christmas because I watched several videos that said it was the best started bag but it was just way too small for my curvy body. I plan to get a bag for a milestone birthday in a few months. Price is not an option but it concerns me that everybody is saying that the bag is it worth the money anymore. The SAs in boutique in my area is not the nicest and I refuse to be treated mean when spending my hard earn money. I’m going to a city where there are several Chanel boutique and hopefully I will be successful in finding a bag.

My first 2.55 was a size 226 and rhw, then the second one was the 225 with ghw and I gotta say I love both for different reasons (I explain the reasons in the videos I dedicated to each one of the aforementioned bags). But in reality the ghw was Coco's first version of the chain. Granted it was in shiny gold, not aged gold, but still, it was gold.

[@mbelieve9919]

This is an excellent video on an overview of Chanel bags for first-time buyers. I disagree about the WOC and it is one Chanel piece I can live without, unless a mini or classic flap is not an option because of price point. I think the small flaps or minis are more versatile options. I do agree with the Reissue. It is the first Chanel piece I ever got due to your amazing video on it from a few years ago. It is under appreciated by so many and you do such a great job on it.

[@caterinawilliams998]

Hi, yes agree about the WOC, I have converted to the WOC quite recently and bought my first one thus year because I was looking for a specific leather and design I went for a seasonal piece. I truly love it. I carry lots of work stuff in a pliage shoulder tote and my Chanel woc cross body. I can disguise it perfectly under my jacket/trench when traveling and on public transports, given its flat design it is very discreet and stays really close to the body, it's easier to wear than my mini for instance. Perfect!

[@kathleenem9207]

@@caterinawilliams998 So true. I have a friend who started me on the Chanel experience and she is a true collector. She has 20 bags, 10 of which are classic an 10 of which are WOCS. She loves all of them but really gets the most use out of her WOCS and minis. She has a few unicorns and some seasonal but buys them because she loves the colors-knowing the resale may not be there on the seasonal ones but doesn’t care. They give her joy. I only have two but they are forever bags. No intention of selling my Jumbo or Boy. I love and use them both and hope to pass them on to my daughter-in-law and granddaughter.

[@SuperDacob]

Thank you Bee It is tricky when brand marketing pushes certain new offerings so aggressively onto us. We can get blinded by advertisements but long term, we always return to the classics and the classics are, long term, the ones where I think cost per wear is the best. I get so happy each time I take one of my classics out for a spin! Now, this does not mean that all seasonal bags are not worth looking into and getting. On the contrary! If you see a seasonal bag you truly fall in love with, I say get it because chances are it will be considerably cheaper than the classics (unless its not in some crazy material that makes it cost an arm and a leg). I have a few seasonal chanel bags which I adore to bits but if I had to recommend a clean line of where to begin with a chanel collection then the bags I showed in this video would be the ones.

@@SuperDacob I would like a reissue 227 with champagne hw if it ever comes around - I got the 226 with ruthenium because everybody told me it’s the ONE “bigger than m/l but smaller than jumbo” I felt I was being practical and ticking off a catagory; but it never suited me.

I’m glad I didn’t get the wallet on chain or I would still be craving the double flap. Totally agree that LV is the monogram as chanel is to black. Hermes not sure but I know I would only get a color I want and not except anything less (so preloved most likely).

[@SuperDacob]

Great choice with the double flap 😊 as for the WOC, I still feel it is a staple of chanel. It might be going through a less popular stage right now but it will have a comeback and it is a classic in its own right ♥️🌺

[@rachelg1428]

Great content as always Dacob! My beige WOC does have the metal plate, located inside the zipper compartment, and my Boy bag also has it. I prefer the authenticity card and the sticker, as the metal plate is bigger, but honestly it does not bother me and It doesn’t affect the amount I put inside the bag. But for sure it is a big change! ❤️

[@SuperDacob]

Thank you Coco c Do you think there is a risk to get stuff to get stuck to the protruding chip while putting stuff into the bag or taking stuff out?

[@rachelg1428]

@@SuperDacob personally I never have a problem with things get stuck to the chip so I don’t think so. They made the chip secured to the bag and the size is really not big at all. Now, the Boy Bag only has one compartment and the chip is located at the center, so it might potentially scratch the CC logo of Chanel wallet or the LV pochette. But there’s a protective sticker over the chip so you don’t have to worry, unless you decide to remove it. But over time, the chip will grow on you and you will eventually forget that it’s there 😂

[@SuperDacob]

Thats what I worry about too... the scratching... They really need to make a flatter chip... Technology is so advanced these days. They do not need to make big metal chips anymore... so bizarre that they went with that size... haha.

Hi Dacob! Thank you very much for the gorgeous eye candy, the precious advice and details. Love how soft and careful you are when manipulating your bags 😊 I agree with you and would get the first two (WOC and 2.55), aim at the most classics timeless Chanel and not get lost in seasonal items. I have been wanting the WOC since 2015. Alas out of budget then. As time passes by, and with each price increase, I am alas beginning to see it escaping further and further away from my price range 🥲 I wonder if I will be able to afford it one day, and especially because the price nowadays seems so disconnected from what the item actually is. I keep it on a “dreamlist” though 😄

Thank you Libor. I like older models of the French Riviera but I always fear the leather used to pipe the edges of the bag could dry out and crack so I have veered away from it in the past but I do like the shape of it :)

[@liborplistak]

@@SuperDacob Thank you for your response. It will be more fragile for sure. But they start to make it in 2013 as far I know and the bags you can find are still pristine. I like the perforated leather so much 😁

[@jeckray]

Thank you so much Dacob for this video. I have a question for 2.55. Diamond or Chevron?

[@SuperDacob]

For me, the 2.55 is diamond.

The first lux bag I bought is Chanel Reissue large (226) with GHW. Then I got a seasonal WOC in iridescent blue, which I wear the most. Now I’m waiting for emerald deep green WOC and that’s it for Chanel:-) Meanwhile, while waiting for ideal green WOC, I’m dabbing my feet in other brands. The clutches are definitely NO for me, I’ll lose it the first time I wear it. I swear, if my head wouldn’t be attached to my neck, I’d lose it a long time ago (lol). You have a beautiful collection:-) Thanks:-)

[@virgie1204]

My first Chanel was a M/L black caviar with gold hardware, you described that feeling spot on! Didn’t really long for another one until now -15 years later for a beige color. What do you think of the Diana? A classic? Price on resale market is up there!

[@krystully7644]

Hi Dacob as you are so knowledgeable on the topic of Chanel perhaps you can help me decide. I am very lucky that I have a substantial collection so have my basic “blacks and beige 2.55”. I have been offered a preloved of your holy grail in teal with gold hardware or the black and gold in lamb skin from the Egyptian range. Which would you choose?

[@SuperDacob]

Egypt! Always! I ADORE that metiers d'Art colelction so much

@@SuperDacob Thank you so much for replying Dacob very much appreciated. What a wonderful human you are

[@mybagoftheday1722]

It is really hard to choose which Chanel bag, long term, would be the one I would love the most, especially if I only could have one. The small classic in black caviar, ghw was my first. I bought it in 2009 without any prior research or knowledge. I just chose that one from all the options at the boutique. I do however not like that size so much. It is good for special occasions but I never used it for everyday. In fact it took me many years before I bought another Chanel bag because I did not see the point, as I liked my other bags more than the small Chanel classic flap. It is so small and the chain is short for my height. Now my favourite (of All my bags) is the reissue in 226, black with ruthenium hw. It is the bag I love using the most, for any occasion, casual or special.

[@SuperDacob]

I have the 226 in rhw as well. Great bag!

[@natasa3412]

Loveth the video 💖 Btw what’s your opinion on the new Dior micro Lady Dior? Xoxo

[@SuperDacob]

Thankethetheth you Natasa dear! The Lady Dior micro is a novelty... a VERY expensive novelty. I think if one LOVES the Lady Dior and already has it in a variety of sizes and one has all Lady Dior bags one already wanted, then one could add the micro to their collection as a collectible piece to keep on their shelves but otherwise it is an extremely expensive bag with no use whatsoever other than maybe being worn as a necklace. haha.

@@SuperDacob Thank you for sharing your opinion! I totally agree with you and think it’s made to collect; not to use... Hope have a wonderful day 💖

Got back on the live stream mid session. Glad to see the complete video. Thanks for the quick upload. Btw…. Got the 2.55 clutch after watching your videos and chatting with you on the comment section. What’s your recommendation on the order of what to purchase next? WOC? Classic 2.55? CC Caviar Classic Clutch? Small Double Flap Caviar? They’re not cheap and I want to do this right. #teamchanelblackghw

[@SuperDacob]

If you love the 2.55 clutch then I recommend to get the classic 2.55 double flap next. Its the holy grail of CHANEL bags

[@livelovelynn1371]

@@SuperDacob 💛 your recommendations have been on point. thank you 🙏🥂

[@LW_242]

Love the video and your bags! If I only had black bags I have to struggle every day because I can't choose which one to wear 😆 I have a lot of colored Chanel bags.

[@SuperDacob]

Black is very user friendly but I also have colored chanel bags of course. Its just that this video was made to focus on the essentials and to help those who maybe do not have any chanel bags yet and want to start a collection but do not wish to purchase a bag they might not like any longer soon after their purchase.

[@LW_242]

@@SuperDacob Oh I know. your video is very helpfull for those who dont know! 👏🏻And for some people its better to start with a safe colour.

[@gulaselkarataeva4635]

Thanks for this video! I’m looking at buying my first Chanel (and probably only one for many years) and I was considering the mini reissue due to the budget and the beautiful understated design. Would you recommend the 2.55 classic size instead? Which size is more user friendly and durable in your opinion?

[@SuperDacob]

The 2.55 mini is more user friendly but the 2.55 double flap is more durable.

[@gulaselkarataeva4635]

@@SuperDacob thanks for the response! :) I initially assumed the mini would be more durable due to the absence of the double flap (which I thought would lead to more inevitable wear and tear)

[@shreenashah6504]

Great video! I love the reissue too! It's my favourite bag design. Wanted to ask your thoughts on the single flap jumbo that are from around the 2010 era. Was looking at buying a jumbo prelobed and heard the single flap is much lighter. Do you think it will lose its structure over time tho?

[@isabelmichetschlaeger3564]

Hello Dacob, what a gorgeous video and your advices are so useful and so thoughtful for future and keeping it minimal and special. Every time I listen to you I feel your real passion for Chanel history and heritage 🖤and not just the logos. Black is black! And hold hardware 💛too. Btw love your look, your super healthy hair and the light reflecting on one side..it s such a pleasure to watch your videos! … will u again open some account (IG or) to share your personal CC collection and chat those that have same passion as you? I can’t believe they deleted your accounts 💔

[@premeyumlife443]

Great tip to know the size n height to see if the bag fits by looking at the photos. 👍🏼 thanks love. 🙏🏼❤️😘😘😘Sandy

How long ago did you purchase your Chanel clutches?

[@SuperDacob]

The two black ones I show in this video, I purchased in April/May of 2021. Then I have a yellow chanel clutch as well (not featured in this video= which I purchased in 2018.

[@JasonLuxLover]

How do you feel about people buying stickers to put over there metal hardware? I personally feel like it’s going to damage your hardware

[@sloftin]

Good advice. TY! :)
