Chanel Classic Flap | Small vs Medium | Another price increase?!

Yes, there has been yet another Chanel price increase where we saw a 12.8 to 15.5% increase for the small and medium/large classic flap. While this likely won't stop in the future, I thought it would be a good time to share my pros and cons with you on these two sizes so that it can help you in your purchase decision.

Great thorough review as always! That blue is such a beautiful shade. Takes my breath away every time you show it! 🤩🤩🤩

[@angeleyn]

Thank you! Yes I always smile when I see that bag in my room!

[@luxpetite]

Beautiful classic! Love your detailed review. Classic flap lover over here 😘

[@angeleyn]

Thanks so much! Yes, I always go back to the classic flap :)

[@elizabethandrews4199]

The reason the small has more drop is because the rivets on the top of the bag are closer together allowing more of the chain to be outside the bag. The actual chain is the same length. The smaller bag makes the chain drop more.

[@angeleyn]

Good to know. That makes sense. I never measured the distance between the rivets!

[@yt_passionforluxury]

Beautiful bags. I own in black & absolutely love it. Nice comparison. Thanks for sharing my friend 💕

[@angeleyn]

Can't go wrong with the classic black bag. Have a great day!

[@loufranzpheak8578]

I love your review! Good I chose the medium, can't wait to hold it this June.

[@angeleyn]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@masaokema3359]

Thanks for the timestamps.

[@angeleyn]

Glad you find them useful. I always do!

[@katemiller7874]

That blue is stunning.

[@angeleyn]

Thank you - it was love at first sight when I saw her :)

[@kat1277]

Thank you for the video! I’m deciding between small and medium and your video helped me decide which to pick. I also love your sweater, would you mind sharing where you got it? Thanks

[@angeleyn]

Hey Kat. Thanks for your feedback and I am glad this video helped you. You can find my cardigan here: bit.ly/3QEFzaB

[@mariagail]

really love the black classic flap❤️

[@angeleyn]

Yes, that one is as classic as you can get!

[@ChouMinLee]

Very thorough video that helps me decide which one to purchase. Thanks for your effort. Btw do you feel heavy when you stuff all things in the medium and put it on your shoulder?

[@angeleyn]

Thank you for your feedback! If the medium was completely full I do feel the weight on my shoulder mainly because of the metal chain touching my shoulder. If I had a jacket I wouldn't really feel it being heavy.

[@Sugaswhisper]

Thank you this was the best review and I needed to see this! Do you feel that the bottom base of your black caviar is soft when you push on it? Like does the base of the bag feel solid like a rock and doesn’t have any give?

[@angeleyn]

Hi Jen - the base of the black caviar flap bag does not give when I push it. It feels solid. Hope that helps!

[@vivien1080]

Love the turquoise

[@angeleyn]

Me too! Such a pretty shade!

[@laurenmnielsen]

I'm going to Paris in October and am really hoping I will be lucky enough to find and buy my first Chanel Classic Flap 🥰🤞🏼

[@angeleyn]

Good luck! Would love to know how it goes for you!

[@Skylife335]

Great comparison

[@Skylife335]

Which is your fave size?

[@angeleyn]

Thank you!

[@angeleyn]

Between the two, I don't notice a different really so I guess I will go with the small since it cost less!

[@christinianamariahsain19]

Great Great Review You Are So Detailed I Got The Medium Yesterday In Lambskin With Silver Hardware And I Love It Thank You So Much… ✨🛍✨🎀✨💖✨👏🏼✨🎁✨

[@angeleyn]

Oh wow!! congrats Christiniana! I hope you enjoy it ❤

[@christinianamariahsain19]

@@angeleyn Thank You Beautiful… ✨🎀✨🛍✨💖✨

[@Vasalyn]

Great video! The classic medium flap is still on my wishlist but I'm not sure if I can ever afford it. 😭

[@angeleyn]

I knowww but sometimes the resell market can surprise you with the price especially with vintage ones!

[@Shortvideostik]

💔💔 😭. You will girl don’t say that.

[@angelbedi4976]

U have my dream blue bag !

[@angeleyn]

It is very dreamy!

[@yousraghazy2496]

lovely video , can I know which size do you prefer??

[@angeleyn]

The small size at the moment

[@zhannamuchnik9432]

Do u have a separate review on the blue small classic flap ?

[@angeleyn]

I haven't made one recently mainly because there is no wear and tear on it. I can make a video on what fits and what I wear it with/for if people are interested.

[@KaseyVictoriaChau]

Beautiful bags, is the blue 20c Tiffany Blue?

[@angeleyn]

Yes we'll spotted! The 20c blue!

[@KaseyVictoriaChau]

@@angeleyn 💕

[@clondalkin-tokyo-houstonal5763]

Are caviar and calfskin one and the same? Thank you.

[@angeleyn]

Caviar is grained calfskin and is more bumpy and durable than regular calfskin. Hope that helps!

[@elena0928]

I have a mini rec in caviar from 18b in black. I do have other black bags and i kinda wanna sell my mini and get small size pink cf 22c.. am i crazy? 🤔 i am not petite but i am loving look of small

[@angeleyn]

Kind of crazy but the heart wants what the heart wants. Pinks are beautiful too so I can understand if you are a pink person why you would want to switch :)

[@Jensinery]

wow is that the 20b blue?

[@angeleyn]

Yes, well spotted! It is the 20B blue.

[@chanellovervynguyen3832]

What size do you enjoy and like better?

[@angeleyn]

The small size lately!

[@eval9871]

Which website to get good sec. Hand chanel classic flap bag?

[@angeleyn]

Hi Eva - Fashionphile has great authenticity and photos so I would go here if I wanted to be sure things are legit. However, for best price I think ebay is a good place BUT you must do your due diligence and get authentication. You can save some money but it is more risky. hope that helps! p.s. I have heard of other IG based companies that does resale but I have not purchased with them before so I cannot speak on that at the moment!

[@aileenhuang1215]

Is the blue from the 19c collection?

[@angeleyn]

It is the 20B collection.

[@elizabethandrews4199]

I carry my phone in the back outside pocket for easy access and then you can fit sunglasses in the bag.

[@angeleyn]

I never tried putting my phone in the back pocket...seems too small and tight. Good to know yours can!

[@galopoulo75]

Why does the medium have the stitched edging to flap and the small doesn't?

[@angeleyn]

It's the design difference. Some seasons they do the edge stitching and some season they don't.

[@Shortvideostik]

So I didn’t buy a Chanel bag before price incase 😭😭😭😭

[@angeleyn]

Darnnnnnn - maybe try looking preloved? Maybe just bite the bullet before the next price increase 😆

[@jolenejourne]

Do you prefer small or medium?

[@angeleyn]

At the moment, I prefer the small!

[@OusamaMount]

Buying a luxury bag is the stupidest investment. I personally don't think it's worth spending so much money on a bag. It is better to invest in gold. Of course I also like those big-name bags. But I couldn't bear to give up the money. So all my bags are replicas of H Q D U P S.

[@elizabethandrews4199]

Your blue one is a classic not a seasonal. Double flaps are all classics.

[@angeleyn]

For some reason I thought the colored double flap are all seasonal colors. The only permanent colors are the beige and black? Or so I thought. I have to check with my CA!

[@elizabethandrews4199]

There are seasonal colors for classic bags.
