Thank you so much!

You give the best reviews!😍

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Aw wow, thank you!!! 😘

With all of the price increases with Chanel, I have been more drawn to the mini as of lately. I’ve come to realize that I am not much of a medium sized bag kind of girl. I’d much rather prefer small bags. I don’t carry around much. I just need my wallet, phone and some hand sanitizer and a lipstick/gloss. The mini is soooo cute and looks so nice dressed up and down. I really want to purchase a Chanel bag from the boutique one day and I think it’s gunna be a mini ❤ I might still want a small Chanel classic but I’d source her and get it vintage!

[@hellocatwalkcity]

The mini is such a great choice! It has all the elements of a Classic flap at a better price, and can be worn crossbody more comfortably. 👍

[@esornart]

I love my mini crossbody!! I also agree with what you said about the classic.

[@elena0928]

Definitely mini for me. Thanks for great review🤩💕

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Love the mini!

[@overtherainbowoO]

Great comparison ! 👏🏻

[@Divinenubian]

Thanks for this! I just bought my 1st pre loved mini flap..and i was curious about the differences in sizes..I'm so excited!💜🙏

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Congrats on your first preloved mini!! 💗

[@gloriaqiu5975]

The small pouch for hand cream is genius!

[@mindbodysoul8214]

Great comparison & Team medium here. I don't own either & because of that, I choose the medium size. Both are Gorgeous & on my dream list. TFS&I 🏵

[@adesewalawal1250]

Very informative video. Thank you

[@hellocatwalkcity]

I’m so glad you enjoyed it!

[@BagLoveAON]

Very detailed review 🔍 BEAUTIFUL bags 💖 Thanks for sharing my sweet friend 😘 Stay happy and healthy always

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Thank you dear! Have a great week! 💕

[@traces0fme]

I thought I would choose the classic flap...but now I am team mini! I'm lusting after a lambskin mini now! Love this pb&j combo you have hehe. TFS!

[@hellocatwalkcity]

The minis are something special! 😉

[@yulianagonzalez2428]

Good morning babe 1st here love your channel I choose the medium classic. But as a crossbody the mini is perfect

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Hi!! 👋 I agree, the mini is perfect for crossbody!

[@sarah0098]

I am team classic medium flap because I am not a cross body girl at all and don’t like playing bag Tetris 🙈. Great review! I am tempted by the mini to try it out, as I only have 2 classic flaps. However am put off by the lambskin only option as for me the mini would be an everyday bag. 🤔

[@stacyb6461]

The mini rectangular is so great because of the crossbody and it holds what you would absolutely need. But If I could only have one then I would choose the classic because there are plenty of crossbody bags the market. Nice to have both!!

[@hellocatwalkcity]

You make a great point! 😉

[@jilltomfohr]

I love L'Occitane products, and I know about the sharp corners on their hand creams. I use fabric tape or moleskin tape and wrap it around the bottom of the tube to dull those sharp corners. It also saves me, when I'm blindly digging around in my handbag, from having one of those sharp corners catch me unawares and dig under my fingernail!

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Ohhh smart

[@ravensjewel-3886]

I wish they made the 19 in a mini. I’m all about small bags but I like the look of the 19 more than the classic. I do think the classic is probably a better long term buy though.

[@jamelsydney2737]

I thought you might go for the mini as your one must have, and I was right! 😃 How do you feel about the lambskin though? I really want a mini caviar but the preloved prices are way beyond ridiculous now, so I think I’ve missed the ship with that one. I thought about getting a new mini in lambskin but afraid of getting scuffs and scratches on it because I don’t want to baby the bag. I have a vintage Diana bag in lambskin, and durable as the vintage lambkin is, it still does get faint scratches easily. Yes the scratches do buff out, but honestly I don’t want to be buffing my bags after every use. People say that the modern Chanel lambskins are not as durable as the vintage lambskin, and this puts me off from getting a new mini in lambskin even more. How are your Chanel lambskin bags holding up?

[@Adancer112]

Thanks for this helpful vid. I have a mini and am always back and forth about adding another or taking the plunge and getting a Medium CF. But the price!! 😱😩 Gosh I love your chai latte 😍

[@threepluschelsea7460]

Me too! I’m trying to decide between the rectangular and medium. Or both. But I can’t deal with the price increases!

[@Adancer112]

@@threepluschelsea7460 The price increases are ridiculous! They make me not want to buy in principle. Yet, they’re so pretty... sigh. Just last year the Medium CF was $5K before 2 price increases. That’s almost a $2K hike! 😭

[@hellocatwalkcity]

The prices are just 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@ashleylee4931]

I went to the boutique last sat to have a look at the dark beige mini but the quilting was not puffy enough for me and it had more grey tone then beige i want so I didn’t take it. But definitely mini rectangular is the one I would choose between mini and medium. I still love my medium though 😄 i just wish Chanel making caviar mini again

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Oh yes, the new 21s dark beige looks more taupe/greyish beig, right? This one (21p) is more of a pink beige. It’s amazing how Chanel comes up with so many different shades!!

[@chanello63]

For the hand cream try cut the two corners into curves, that way you don't need to use extra pouch for it.

[@bushraalamhaque3422]

Please do a review of the rectangular mini and the square mini. Thank you. ❤️

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Ok! Stay tuned! 😊

[@pamelater5070]

Hi thanks for this nice review . Could I just ask where do you get the leather base for your mini pls ?

[@hellocatwalkcity]

The base shapers I have are from MBoutique_AU.

[@MegaTinni]

I am already struggling to fit my phone and reading glasses in the medium (can only use soft case) let alone additional sunglasses (in summer, I need both with me) ..... but love the look of a mini rectangle ... just afraid it won't make sense for me.

[@sachikoyoshioka1365]

Where did you buy the shaper for the mini please ?

[@zhannamuchnik9432]

Can you share how your lambskin medium red flap is wearing? thank you

[@dece020]

Can you please make a comparison review on woc vs mini, thank you ☺️

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Ok, please stay tuned! 😉

[@hailstorm13]

I love the mini but wish sunglasses could also go in there

[@yummylife8984]

I am so in shock that you choosed mini rectangular xdd actually people who wants wear it like daily bag say that the compacity is not good and you must play tetris. Because when you home, thats ok with you stuff, but when you out - receipts, baby things, gifts whyle shopping etc appear xdd so helpful video, thank you! ♡ you have amazing bags, beautiful colors~ as for me I choose classic double flap bag ,your size is perfect ♡

[@hellocatwalkcity]

I have been wearing both of my minis out and I definitely find them to be easier than my medium classics! I don’t carry a lot (just the essentials) and I love the single flap and crossbody length! 😉

[@wonderfulsisterwonderful9460]

Mini ❤️❤️❤️

[@truthserum5855]

Thank You for this....I just bought my first mini (rectangular) in patent so black quilted 21K. I also purchased recently (second time) a black caviar shw medium classic flap from boutique, and a preloved perfect condition black patent shw medium classic flap, and the Trendy CC 21C silver/silver. I'm with you...The mini is more versatile and more comfortable, so I am selling my two mediums, and keeping the mini for everyday and the Trendy for when I prefer something elevated with a true handle.

[@amizizi4715]

How do you avoid color transfer on the red Chanel?

[@cherbs1207]

Hi ~ Just wondering if you you still have your medium classic flap? If so, do you still wear it/find it enjoyable? Thanks, Christina

[@luni_kyuu]

team mini! i completely agree without regarding that double flap. while i understand the history behinds i always thought it was annoying having to lift up two flaps. i only carry the essentials too and there is something about mini things that makes me drawn to them!

[@Happyfitmaree]

Do you still have the red medium cf?

[@joymae]

I think the mini rectangular flap is a lot more practical for every day modern life

[@hellocatwalkcity]

True

[@ericachoi4849]

Did you sell your red flap because it matches with less than neutral bags? I have black and beige Chanels in medium and jumbo sizes and wanted a mini in red.

[@hellocatwalkcity]

It was such a gorgeous red that made me happy to look at it BUT it felt kind of bold and loud against my more muted, neutral wardrobe. 😔

[@ericachoi4849]

@@hellocatwalkcity I see~ thank you for replying 😊 love 💕 your videos!

[@christina89xoxo]

Do they give you something to shorten the strap if it’s too long?

[@TubnQT]

I tie a knot at the end. Works perfectly!

[@kristenfuga1]

Why don’t you just get a little tiny travel jar/pot for creams and put some of the hand cream in that? They’re probably the size of lip product pot like Carmex.
