I bought the jumbo in my country (Belgium), at the Chanel boutique in 2011 and payed €3110 for it. So I'm very happy that I bought it back then, the prices now are insane

[@samsensation786]

Gekke prijzen hè nu!

[@dianalee441]

I agree...my medium classic flap has been with me for almost 6 yrs and it’s still my fave

[@MascoloFasbender]

The variety of textures in the hidupz pack is impressive. From smooth leather to textured suede, there's something for everyone.

[@moderncathy2817]

That brown medium flap is beautiful! I love bags that are classic but very different/rare

[@jess.u]

The medium classic flap is so beautiful. I really want one now 😍😍

[@msjanetteok]

thank you for making this video!! i'm eyeing the silver caviar and this came at such a great time!

[@bettezhang3648]

So obsessed with the brown lambskin one. So pretty!

[@melissaong1479]

Thanks for this video! I’ve been debating between a jumbo and medium and this has been super helpful. Adding the Diana to my wishlist too - it’s stunning.

[@annr.8883]

Your review was seriously SO HELPFUL! Thank you so much!

[@asmamustafa8317]

Thank you sooo much Alyssa fir this detailed video …. It’s one of the best comparison videos and helped a lotttttt… ur awesome

[@taylorchrisman7658]

LOVED THIS!!! Thank you, Alyssa! xx

[@agnesmorrie9925]

Love this! Can’t wait for the handbag collection video :)

[@donnaleach8119]

Wow! Such beautiful bags! Getting the brand new black medium double flap in caviar is such a find! You must have a great SA! Congrats Alyssa! Wonderfully informative video! Thank you! ❤️

[@kaitlinkarb5892]

Just bought a medium before the increase too for my graduation present!. Almost went for Jumbo, but glad I didn't after seeing your video ❤️. The Medium can fit a lot actually, just need to play Tetris with it sometimes

[@BienLovelux]

The medium flap such a nice color❤️the black you have we have same one❤️thanks for sharing

[@vandakat]

The caramel medium is soooooo pretty 😍. They all look great, so lucky you bought when you did! TfS.

[@user-rz6pd1eo8d]

love this video! it was so informative. sealed the deal for me to get my first chanel in the medium size 😊❤️

[@jobienaval4562]

The video I’ve been waiting forrrrrr 😁👏🎉🤍

[@jobienaval4562]

Just finished watching! Love how thorough this video was (per usual), super informative and well thought out. Even the transitions from comparing sizes, leathers, side by side mod shots, what fits, price points from when you bought them (retail vs preloved), etc. I always enjoy watching your videos 🤍

[@sunnyh7175]

Your makeup looks lovely, especially the eye makeup!

[@alyssa.lenore]

Thank you!

[@SarahNevs]

Very informative, thank you for sharing!

[@ruthchicc]

Totally going for the medium flap bag when I’m back in Europe! Thanks for the comparison Alyssa! 🤍✨

[@alyssa.lenore]

Happy to help!

[@agnesmorrie9925]

I really regret not getting a small classic flap before the price increase :( so grateful to have a medium cf already

[@corinthsuarez]

Super helpful!!! Thank you 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@CalumMaxwell-ky2fu]

His *yutulux* tote is beautifully colored, very sturdy and the perfect size. Not too small, not too big. I look forward to joining my rotation.

[@AgathaCunningham]

Me remembering nearly all the bags from the jag collection in *yutulu* other apartment on the dimond tray.. I think i watched that video like 40 times. Purse collection goals

[@ahveecado_]

LOVE THIS!! 😍💛💛

[@AgathaCunningham]

the *yutulu* would be super cute during the fall with a nude or tan or even tonal outfit! i’m thinking a tan wool coat with that bag!!

[@lilboaat]

the jumbo looks so good on you

[@hellocatwalkcity]

The classic flaps I bought in the boutiques never worked out for me due to quality issues. All of the Chanel bags I have now are preloved and I saved thousands! Love them all to pieces. Your camel medium one is stunning! 💗 I won a white classic flap (for free!!!) and I’m considering having it dyed to a camel color. Can you share which series yours is from? Thanks!

[@lajoiawalker5547]

Love this! Because of you, I chose to get the jumbo classic with GHW! How do you care for the lambskin + caviar? I hear contradicting things on leather conditioner!

[@ginamattinson7614]

I agree with you! Medium is better for day and evening events. I think jumbo is gonn be too bulky for formal events. This video is very informative. I am a person who doesn’t take a lot of stuff when I go out. It’s basically my phone, my wallet and face mask. So I will definitely go for medium. 😍

[@CalumMaxwell-ky2fu]

Thank you dear for taking us along. Can't wait what the *yutulux* queen picked up at Fendi

[@viviww2131]

Love watching your vids. So relaxing and enjoyable 🥰I got my Diana after watching you reviewed yours 😆 For me I have all sizes Jumbo, medium, small and mini. If I have to choose one I love to have Small. Medium is also perfect. Jumbo is so heavy and big for me, but still keep and use sometimes bc she is my first Chanel handbag ever. Thanks for sharing another useful and beautiful review 💖☺️

[@alyssa.lenore]

Thank you for watching! :)

[@barbaratrullenque]

I think tbe jumbo looks great on you! You don’t look small/petite at all

[@abracadabraalakazam.]

I bought my m/l for $4900 back in 2017 and my jumbo preloved. icannot believe the price increases. my m/l is definitely my favorite

[@dcfambam]

Love both of your chanel classic flap.I just bought mine both jumbo and medium,same gold hardware yesterday😍

[@lolipena8051]

Dang congrats. While I’m over here still contemplating on which one. Lol i would I like both but good luck finding them

[@sarooshka25]

Great review 👌🏻

[@DonaldGarrison992]

I still love my LV reverse monogram *yutulux* 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.

[@CalumMaxwell-ky2fu]

Amei todas as bolsas lindas e de muito bom gosto.Parabens *yutulux*

[@mimik9193]

Thank you for showing your beautiful bags. It’s very interesting to know how much you had paid for that preloved lambskin double flap back in 2018. That bag in such good condition is rare. If any available, they must be priced for at least $4000 at Japanese websites such as brand JFA. Also, Diana bags in great condition as yours are hard to find and very expensive now. Thank you for sharing these prices with us. This is a great reference video.

[@shereedaye1426]

Great video. I am almost 5' 8 inches so I am glad to see how this wears with a taller gal.

[@marew.8766]

Great video! I am looking for my first Chanel pre-loved. I want to carry the bag everyday. I am looking to get the M/L in lambskin in the older series 10. As much as the Jumbo holds so much more I am worried about the size of it carrying it day to day. Would love to know what your thoughts are. I am 55, first Chanel bag. I have the snap closure wallet I use everyday and a beautiful Cameilla red lambskin card holder I use everyday as well.

[@msvivianleely657]

Summer is around the corner, Can you do a comparison video of the Chanel deauville tote and the Dior Book tote? Like size, how heavy it is, how often you use it. And which one you like more?

[@1994SEOUL]

Love how informative you are and how in depth you go in about each bag. Really enjoy your bag videos !!

[@alyssa.lenore]

Thank you!

[@everdarling]

Love your vids!

[@asseenbyalex]

Thank you for this video, so useful! About 6 months ago I heard multiple people ask for medium flap bags in the Chanel boutique (Amsterdam) and the SA's told them that jumbo was the smallest size in stock of all bags (19, classic etc.) so maybe that could explain the differences in pricing on the preloved market? I totally understand why you're keeping both! I'm so curious to see your updated bag collection video soon!!

[@alyssa.lenore]

That's definitely possible!

[@ayeshabegum7136]

Your one of my favourite youtuber

[@mytubeeeee]

I’m still debating if I should buy my bag new or preloved since they’re only a few hundred in difference. Now if I found a good one like your 2k one, I’d definitely go preloved. I’ve been checking recently though and there isn’t much of a price difference. Kinda torn.

[@stephanietan6157]

Jumbo looks perfect on you 💛💛💛

[@tomatoandbrucie]

Hi I just recently bought a Chanel medium classic bag. For the stitching does it usually have 10 or more because counting mine it’s 8-9 ..sometimes 10. I bought mines at a Nordstrom store with a Chanel boutique.

[@vivianp5805]

I love how you said “you can fit snacks” in the jumbo because that’s something I always need just in case in my purse 😂

[@chalee6843]

Unless u need the money, pls keep ur Jumbo. You look great on both of them. I wish I could wear jumbo, but i only 4’9”ft 😅, so my medium is the perfect size for me 😁

[@KatGrajo]

I Love your bags!!! Especially the medium caramel 😍😍😍 may i just know how tall are you? Because im still contemplating about the size im gonna buy. 🥺

[@cookingwithsim4926]

Hi what are the measurements for ur jumbo flap bag? Is it the same as jumbo double flap? Thanks❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@eundesanfrancisco2532]

My mother-in-law got me a jumbo and i love it 😁

[@hannahhunt222]

Such a great comprehensive video! How do you store your Chanel bags? I am so worried about the chains leaving permanent marks on the leather when they are stored away!

[@alyssa.lenore]

They're just on my shelf with the chain to the back, haven't had much of an issue with this way. :)

[@rafaeladeguzman9776]

I have question is grained calf-skin count as caviar leather? Also i came from Australia when I check the website of Chanel I tried to look for medium size classic flap , I only found small, large and maxi size, Does medium size count as the large size?

[@RebeccaKatelin]

beautiful bags!

[@adamjoubert9688]

You told where you bought your jumbo black caviar at Saks was wondering if you bought the medium black caviar at a stand alone boutique or Saks as well or another store?

[@taylorlau4988]

just got mine .medium classic flap. but silver though. i like the gold one but chanel bag is really hard to get now a days.

[@rachelgardner9505]

Do you mind sharing where/who you bought the medium caramel bag for $2000 from?

I watched this video multiple times and I always regret not getting the jumbo when it was still $6500 😭😭😭Man!!!! What was I thinking 😫😂😂 Thanks for this video,it’s very informative 👏👏👏.

[@arlenelapid229]

Hi. Any thoughts on 2.55 handbag?

[@shondale71]

Thanks for sharing 🥰

[@xrarnax]

Thanks for your review! I find it very useful. While I prefer the look of the medium, I'm contemplating a Jumbo for myself because I'm the type that tends to carry fair bit of stuff e.g. it rains randomly where I'm from (the tropics, so we get massive thundery showers) so I never leave home without a small, foldable umbrella! But my main concern that it might be too big for my 5'3 frame.

[@lolipena8051]

I’m 4 11. And omg I love the jumbo lol. But yes looks big. Saw and tried it on for a couple mins. The Chanel in Oregon sucks and the Sa was just rushing me and made me feel awkward. Plus they never have anything in stock. What did you end up getting? Were you able to try one on?

[@xrarnax]

@@lolipena8051 Hey! I'm sorry to hear you had a bad experience at your Chanel boutique. I did manage to try a Jumbo on! It felt quite good on me but I could only wear it as a double-strap shoulder bag (cross body and single strap don't work for me cause the straps are just so long). I actually liked how it looked on me, so I bought it! But I bought my Jumbo pre-loved from a reputable reseller in my country that has a physical store which I visited to try the bag on before buying. The Jumbo wasn't as big as I thought! I still do want to get a classic flap in the M/L but I think I'll go vintage as the vintage classic flap is starting to grow on me. For now, if I want a smaller bag out, I'll stick with my Boy (Old Medium), although the Boy is not a substitute for the classic flap because they're just very different bags, haha. Did you end up with a bag from your boutique?

[@lolipena8051]

@@xrarnax sorry for the late response. I didn’t go boutique. I just bought mine today 😬 preloved. I have the boy old medium as well. And let’s see how it goes. Excited for it to arrive. Maybe it help me truly decide as when I tried it on I was rushed. I now have time to decide

That brown lamb!! To die for! Don’t ever sell it

[@vivaciousbev]

Love it! Is the caviar from that series matte or shiny? Is it made in Italy or France?

[@alyssa.lenore]

Shiny! Both my caviars are made in Italy but my camel on is from France.

[@michellegtran]

Do you like the shiny or matte one better? I didn’t know there were options

[@wondermuffin597]

Yeah you made the right choice, don’t sell the jumbo. In five years time, your needs may change. But I do dislike the heaviness of the double flap jumbo, so decided to go with a preloved single flap.

[@lolipena8051]

I bet it’s a joy going in and out of it. I want a jumbo. But thinking single flap as well. Don’t mind it being heavy. Just wondering how much a pain it’ll be to get in and out of it. Even though you don’t clip the 2nd flap. I live my boy. So again that’s why I’m leaning more towards single

[@rebeccaarrogante487]

[@justinefaith2316]

My next Chanel bag is most likely going to be the medium flap, but knowing myself I might cave and get a jumbo later down the line LOL
