My experience extending the strap of my Chanel Classic Flaps

I thought about this for years and I finally took the plunge. Check out my results extending straps on my favorite bags!

Great decision. Im glad you'll be able to enjoy your bags more.

So happy to see you

I also had my classic flap chain extended by leather surgeons. Best decision ever. I made my 23" and I'm 5'4" size12. I wish I made it 22". Not only is the crossbody great, so is the double chain on the shoulder.

The new length looks much better on your body frame. I only own one classic flap. I don’t think I would change the length of my strap because it looks ok cross body on my body frame. Enjoy 💕

I'm considering doing this for my classic flap. I want to wear it crossbody. I think it looks shorter crossbody on you, but I think when I send it to a leather surgeon, I want the strap to drop lower to hit my waist.

Thank you so much for the video. Right now I am on the fence about selling my classic flap and if I am honest with myself, I think the reason is that I cannot wear it cross body. I have only used the classic flap a few times since I bought it. It falls off my shoulder constantly and is so annoying. I really appreciate you sharing your experience. I think I am going to extend my strap! Do you find it easier to use the bag (get items into and out of it) when it is cross body?

The black definitely looks shorter than the rest.
