Black caviar CF’s had black interior prior to 2010. After 2010, they changed to burgundy interior just like lambskin. Also, CF’s made with soft caviar (smaller/finer grains) or untreated lambskin will never have edge stitching. Soft caviar is available in seasonal colors only. Classic colors like black and Beige Clair are made with rigid caviar and therefore have edge stitching!

It’s kind of crazy that customers now have to do quality control for Chanel. I got my classic flaps, years ago, when flaws were uncommon.

Hi! Great video and tips. I did speak to a Chanel SA who informed me that the Chanel black classic flaps are available in either interior black or burgundy. It’s just the interior black is sold out. The newer black Chanel classic flap in rose gold hardware interior is black as well.

I was on the list in two boutiques (in two states) but they removed their lists completely in November. They said it is first come, first serve from now on. Chanel is not doing lists any longer.

I'm surprise you didn't mention the burgundy "inner" bag. I would look to make sure that the inner bag sits flush against the black outer bag. Many bags have air bubbles on the inside because when the artisan sews the inner and outer bags together, they don't stretch out the leather and make sure the burgundy leather sits flat.

@KKDCA3 ай бұрын
I’ve seen both in store . Lambskin goes well with gold hardware and Silver goes well with Caviar . I got mine on silver caviar because of my platinum and white gold jewelries and silver watches . And silver goes with a lot of outfits . It looks very luxurious. You should get silver in caviar. Lamb skin is beautiful when it’s fresh out of the box but once you acquire scratches in time it looks worn down ., caviar holds up really well

Paying $10,000 plus for a purse is sooo incredably stupid!!! They're all made in China these days and often times the really good fakes are made in the exact same factory, on the exact same asembly line as the authentic ones. I have a friend who actually used to work for a high end designer company in China. His job was selecting which factory to use to produce the designer product. The factory that is manufacturing the authentic product just produces their order for Chanel, or Hermes, or whatever, and then they just run through an extra 1,000 bags to sell on the replica market. THE HIGHER END $500 PLUS REPLICA BAGS ARE EXACTLY THE SAME EVERYTYHING. NEVER EVER WASTE YOUR MONEY ON A REAL DESIOGNER BAG!!!
