Chanel 21p Brown MINI Review | Shopping Vlog & Comparison

[@IvanaPerkovicOfficial]

Whoa never expected the mini to fit so much! Also LOVE how the chain is longer than the medium. Will def consider it for the future

[@SamandVictor]

and considerably 'cheap' for a bag that has the facade of a classic flap!

[@T6unny]

I love this color, I first saw this in someone else’s video few years back. She bought it in Europe, it was a seasonal bag. Couldn’t really find it anywhere on the internet. I’m so glad they brought it back, but the new one looks slightly lighter in color. I still prefer the one they released few years back.

[@susan-pham]

I love that color and want it in the mini. They’re both beautiful. I have a feeling you’ll get more use out of your mini.

[@SC-zs1bq]

I just bought the small classic flap as it looks much proportional to my petite frame but now I want to get the mini after seeing your little caramel bag 😍😍😍 congrats on scoring this!

[@kyliewalker6647]

I loved this vid also. I much prefer the mini lambskin, than 2023 seasons version in caviar..

[@mrsroro660]

Congrats on both the bags! I bought the medium, was lucky enough to find it in store, only 2 days after I watch your first video, so thank you for that! ☺️could you film a Chanel collection video, it would be very interesting to watch it? 🌸

[@SamandVictor]

I'd love to when we move back into our apartment after renovations are done!

[@shirleyyee9923]

Is my wish list to have Chanel brown bag. Hope I able to afford it in the future. Congratulations on your new purchase. Love this colour 🤎🤎 Both size is great. Love the medium but for prices maybe will get the mini. Thank you for sharing with us.

[@tasiabade8107]

This is my first video that I have ever watched of yours! I was cringing when I saw your mini opened up with everything that you fit inside, and saw the keys dangling. That’s a really easy way to scratch such a delicate lambskin leather, and as in love with hour bags as you appear I wanted to pass along a tip! I would recommend buying a bag insert/organizer online, they make them in all different sizes and colors specifically to fit Chanel bags. The website that I’m sure you’ve heard of (and that is actually great) is called SAMorga. I hope you make other videos about your other Chanel pieces and your shopping trips, it is so fun to see how everything is in your stores compared to America! And I can’t believe that they don’t charge you sales tax! We pay an additional 7% here in the state of Florida.

[@SamandVictor]

haha actually I don't carry keys because my door is digital but just for the sake of 'showing' people what fits inside, I just did for the demo. And yes I totally ordered from samorga but it takes a while for them to come! With Chanel making all their prices equal around the world, I think Hong Kong may finally be the 'cheapest' place to shop for designer :S

[@Sandra-xz8be]

OMG I cant believe your were able to get them both!! I tried to get the medium one, here in the states, and my SA couldn't get hands on it and I was almost in tears lol....ur friend is also amazing for letting u purchase it. any who, Congrats Hun!!

[@traces0fme]

That mini is so cute! Congrats! I would love the medium flap first and then the mini would be an added bonus hehe. Thanks for sharing!

[@SamandVictor]

yes I totally agree in that order!

[@kimcurated]

The mini is so so cute! You have such a wonderful friend 🤎🤎🤎

[@SamandVictor]

yes honestly if it weren't for her, I wouldn't have gotten this bag all by myself. For some reason the SAs here don't take me seriously XD

[@sparklesplentyful]

This was just the information I didn't know I needed! 😁 Thank you for such a well done video. I love the mini on you as well and the way you style it. Enjoy!

[@jen6294]

So obsessed with the mini and your friend is AMAZING ,,so kind of her!!!

[@babygoo89]

I never like caramel or brown colour as I find it look a bit mature, but now that seeing it in your vid it’s changed my mind. This is indeed a very lovely colour. I am more a mini/small bag person (I am 165cm) as I find it looks more sophisticated. I just wish Chanel makes more mini flap available.

[@dulcemarie1098]

Love your video, very informative. I have my black mini in Rome back in Jan 2019 before the pandemic hit the world. I was on the wait list here in US for so long and finally got mine and the last one at score. I love the mini, fits my petite frame body, except the strap is long for my body height. After watching your video, I wanted the caramel color too maybe the small size. Good luck on finding one.🙏

[@SamandVictor]

the small is gorgeous! I've seen them on the resell market- I think it's easier to get now :)

[@GracefulKnots]

I really love the brown Mini. Your friend is so nice. I hope they come out with this brown Chanel again soon as I want to start saving for one. I just got a new nano Chanel in January so I can't buy another just yet. Love the bags but I always prefer smaller ones so the mini it is for me :)

[@SamandVictor]

she really is- so I'm hoping this week one will come for her. I heard 21A will have another brown in caviar- looks like with an orange undertone!

[@yujea88]

Great review Sam! Thank you for sharing this video ❤️❤️

[@lis7146]

I'm so glad you said your height when you were showing the mod shots 😅 I'm also 5'8ish/5'9ish and leaning towards saving for a mini now after seeing how high the medium would sit crossbody, and how much price difference there is between mini and small 🖤

[@SamandVictor]

we're the same height then! Yeah the mini for sure is quite long- I wish the chain was an inch shorter but I guess we can't be too picky :P

[@Cristina.Antoniuc]

Way too excited for this YAY!!! I know it’ll be good because your whole wardrobe is my goals 😍😭 also you look so fresh and GLOWING!! ✨

[@SamandVictor]

Thank you so much 🥺🥺

[@sak_ura14sakura57]

Mini is so cute! M size looks good also as a crossbody 🤩 I am also 5'8 but sadly sits too high on my chest 😢 wouldn't mind just below the chest also! Lucky you! Hehe I recently added the same M flap 🤩 she's gorgeous 😍

[@SamandVictor]

We’re the same height! It does sit a little high but I actually prefer it because it doesn’t rub against my jeans like my mini does

[@elizawang9232]

Congrats! I got a medium and a mini square. I do feel that the qualify of lamb in medium seems to be superior than the mini. Love the color just like you, but I prefer mini square as it's cuter, perfect strap length and still hold iphone 12 pro max. I do have classic small. Despite of the price difference, I think it worth the money. The proportion of the design is the best in my view of classic sizes, looks more elegant, solid and appropriate than minis.

[@nicolinanelsonmiller8029]

Hi! This is so random, but how did you decide on the mini square vs mini rectangle? In the market!

[@askjennanything]

Love the mini! I think you’re right. For petites, it’s too long but I guess you could also use a strap adjuster!

[@SamandVictor]

true! I've seen some tutorials but I imagine the chain inside takes up some space too

[@celiaso8589]

Great reason, "It's just so cute!" it sure is! 😂 on "cheap" Since this is so HOT! I would get whichever one I can get my hands on. Congrats on scoring both💕

[@marissasturzaker3483]

I don’t have a petite frame but I have the small classic flap. I just like the size of the small. I hope to get a medium as well one day

[@SamandVictor]

and I'd love to get a small classic flap like you some day!

[@nicolechai]

Hello Sam, just want to say I’ve watched your video about 20 times now waiting for my own mini to come in the mail! Love how informative this video is! Super well done and can see you put a lot of effort into shooting it! Keep up the great work! - Nicole, fellow HKer 💕

[@SamandVictor]

Wow congrats on scoring one! I'm still waiting to hopefully get one for my friend. Glad the video was helpful!

[@nicolechai]

@@SamandVictor I unfortunately did have to go through a reseller but good luck to you and your friend! Praying for you guys! 🙏

[@SamandVictor]

@@nicolechai thank you!!! And can't wait to see your mini :)

[@fungming139]

LOVE this colour on you Sam! Definitely my dream bag.

[@kim.luxmom]

I am picking up the 22S caramel CF tomorrow and not sure how is the color compares to this 22P caramel🤞. Yours are so pretty, congrats!

[@SamandVictor]

Would love to see an unboxing of it!

[@kim.luxmom]

@@SamandVictor thanks, will tag you when I do😊

[@annettelee5791]

i love how you bought both the mini and the medium- something id totally do if i could get my hands on two items in a color i love. for now, i have my eye on the mini and the small caramel but have yet for it to cross my path :) congrats on your beautiful purchase! subscribed and following on insta too!!

[@holakrissy]

Love your photography! I'd love to see a purse collection video in the future :)

[@handbagcrunch]

Congrats on finding the medium and mini at the boutique. I'm on the search and having no luck! Your bags look great!

[@CatherineHa]

I love all your videos! :)

[@heart.cunanan]

And another one bites the dust! She got the mini as well!!! Good decision, Sam! It suits you perfectly. If I had the funds I would definitely get both too! Also, you're doing a great job with this type of vlog. I know it can get pretty costly to do more vlogs like this but you really nailed both Chanel unboxing vlogs so it's exciting to see more in the future. Congrats on your new bag! 🤗

[@el3yonel7azeneh89]

I got the medium , after that I was offered to get the mini as well. But I declined the mini since i( for me I don’t want exact color in 2 sizes ) and I heard rumor that 21 A will have the caramel color but in Caviar 🥰let us wait and see

[@SamandVictor]

I heard so too but I don’t know if I’ll have the energy to keep chasing bags by then. I may just retire now (jk)

[@el3yonel7azeneh89]

@@SamandVictor loool you will get your energy back when you see that color in Caviar .. promise you 🤣

[@kikikipunk]

love this colour!!

[@rosemarycardenas2756]

I love them both but will get that bag in the medium it is stunning 🤩

[@SamandVictor]

It’s a true classic so I would too if I only could choose one 💕

[@appledai8983]

Thanks for your video! The bags are nice! In my opinion, different sizes of Chanel bags fit different occasions and styles, I would like to collect from 17 cm, 20 cm, 23 cm, to 25 cm for me. 😅

[@SamandVictor]

lol that's basically all of the small range of bags XD XD but GO FOR IT!!!

[@bernadettedelrosario3450]

The mini is sooo cute!!! And i’m so jealous hahahhaa

[@KiranThandi03]

Just bought this in ML and its just the most stunning color

[@SamandVictor]

Best choice! Can’t go wrong with a cf

[@joyfuljewelful]

Thanks for showing what’s fit. My issue is with my Chanel double medium flap is my keys (too much keys) and I cannot put in my sun glasses. I really struggle to puzzle with all the essentials with me. I been dreaming of a Chanel mini square because of its cuteness! And with the single flap there can possibly be more wiggle room of items inside. Do you know if all minis are made in Italy? Also does the small flap size the chain is longer like the mini flap?

[@caseywong699]

Gorgeous! Both sizes are must haves for Chanel lovers. :)

[@GreatGospel97]

I want a Chanel one day and this color is so perfect. Let’s hope!

[@SamandVictor]

Thank you and yes you can totally do it :)

[@BienDalumpines]

Oh My G! Such a beautiful color. And its so cute that you have the mummy and baby. New friend here.

[@manmanwong4495]

I’m in hk as well and I was glad I got this caramel mini flap last week as well. I was struggle between mini flap and small size classic flap and at the end I chose mini flap because this is a lambskin bag, mini flap will be easier to carry. Btw, have you heard Chanel will have another brown(more to orange tone) classic flap but in caviar leather in 21A/21K

[@SamandVictor]

Wow congrats! I hope we can find one more for my friend in HK still but seems not likely at this moment :S Yes I saw the caviar but who knows if I can get my hands on that one- plus I'm not super sure about that shade of 'brown' which I don't really think is caramel

[@Sweetnessamore]

Wow! Congratulations 🍾🎊 I have the small and love it

[@SamandVictor]

whoa you got the rare size!

[@agnestan4105]

Thanks for sharing the video and there’s chance, I will get the medium too, so envy 🥰

[@SamandVictor]

yes you won't regret it!

[@serenawei]

They are both beautiful!

[@evelynk8023]

You are super lucky and good to know that one of their SAs do sell to non-VIP. I think they sell most of their hot items to resellers. The reseller that you mentioned in your video did get hold of two minis. I do wonder how....

[@SamandVictor]

My friend and I were joking that our biggest competition to getting our dream bag isn't other chanel collectors, it's the resellers- especially in this pandemic where everyone is not able to reach their local stores. Ah well, I guess this is kinda a first world problem :S

[@hellocatwalkcity]

I got the mini too!!! 🤎 Enjoy yours!

[@smallf1sh]

The mini is too cute!! Wondering what your friend scored at Hermès! 🧐

[@SamandVictor]

Lollll she got sandals and a throw ;)

[@Dandelion_881]

Ahahaha we are too nosy! Was wondering too. 🤪

[@thatshowidwearit]

Great video! So informative :) I would go for the mini!

[@MonicaMendoza]

omg I'm so jealous!! They're both so stunning. I'm still on the hunt for a mini - I managed to get on one waitlist but you're right! Resellers are up charging more than $1000USD for the bag because it's so coveted:( Hopefully I'm able to find one though:)

[@SamandVictor]

I really can't go the reseller route so we went extra hard asking SAs :S I'd just remind them weekly I'm still waiting for the bag

[@wengho1851]

I love your Chanel ! May I ask you is it light gold or yellow gold hardware on the camel bags? Which color hardware would you like with the camel ?

[@SamandVictor]

it's light gold (or some people call it champagne gold). I prefer the vintage gold but alas we cannot choose what comes in!

[@mitzinoblemunuo]

These bags are so stunning! I can’t wait until I can start my own collection... one day! Beautiful colours. I would defo get both too if I could!

[@cindycircle11]

Classic for me! =) I really liked the double flap design because it's unique.😊

[@SamandVictor]

The cf is definitely an investment piece and if a mini is your first Chanel purchase, I’m sure you’ll end up getting a CF in the future (who knows at what price they’ll be then 🙄)

[@yvonett6411]

If ever i could afford it i would definitely go for that mini bag. Its so cute.

[@SamandVictor]

I missed the train on that one 3 years ago, and finally saved enough to get it :P Hope you get yours too!

[@yvonett6411]

Thank you so much, Sam. For now, i enjoyed your chanel unboxing videos. More to come 😍

[@winniexn]

I loveeeeee both bags! 😍

[@SamandVictor]

Thanks Winnie! Yeah same 😅😅

[@missolona]

Congrats! The mini is stunning

[@SamandVictor]

thank you! I'm so glad I didn't buy the pastel yellow from the previous season

[@nondumisoshangee]

I like the medium better than the mini - I would love the mini better but height wise - I am only 5'6.5 I feel as if it would look too long on me lol. Loving the content :)

[@whilehavingcoffee]

The mini is so gorgeous but without the adjustable strap? Why? 🧐 Great Video! Thank you for sharing ❤️

[@SamandVictor]

if you want a mini with an adjustable strap I guess the Pearl Crush would be a great alternative!

@@SamandVictor great suggestion, Thank you darling! ❤️

Gorgeous bag. The mini is my favorite ❤️❤️

[@nadiabenedicta8477]

Love the color of your bags! And the mini is so cute❤️ I’m new to HK so wondering if those mini bags would be available in store? Or do I need to have access to Chanel SAs? Also, have you perhaps heard about the July price increase rumour for HK? Not sure if I should rush myself into buying a bag now..

[@SamandVictor]

Hi! I'm not sure when there will be a price increase in HK. I did walk into a store last week and managed to see the 21A beige mini without any appointment!

[@ceruleanblonde]

Ahh congrats, 21p caramel is soooo tempting 😍

[@ssaaraahhhh]

Hi Sam! Thanks for posting your 21p unboxings. I've been watching them obsessively because 22s is coming out with the same caramel color and I have my eyes on the small CF. Question for you - I already have the 21p mini but also want the small cf size because I love this color so much. In your opinion, is having two bags in the same color worth it?

[@SamandVictor]

lol you're talking to someone who has the 21p in both mini and medium so I think personally it's worth it!

[@TinaLeder]

I'm petite and DYING to have a mini❤

[@SamandVictor]

if you aren't in search of this color, I've seen a few other pastel shades from Chanel recently in mini size!

[@katiecook11]

Hey! Quick question. Love your videos and your handbag collection! Now that you’ve had the mini and the medium for a little while, do you have a preference for one over the other? This same color is coming out again in 22s and my SA is offering the mini or the medium but I just keep going back and forth on which one to get!! Which one do you wear more and if you had to get rid of one, which would it be???

[@SamandVictor]

yes I totally saw! At the current prices, I would probably get the caramel mini.. unless you think this is a forever classic to you then opt for the medium.

[@Lily-fu4sj]

where did you get your sweater? it's so cute!!

[@SamandVictor]

It's from Mango!

[@sabellenature]

Congratulations!! You are so lucky. Are you selling your vintage brown bag?

[@tannielee6362]

I also live in HK but I do not have any familiar SA in Chanel. Do you know whether this colour is still available? thanks a lot.

[@___.Chiimu]

I’m on the hunt for the small classic double flap in this color

[@fashionandluxury101]

Thanks for this informative video!!! Definitely the medium as I’m 5”2 the strap is just too long

[@mymyphung]

So beautiful 😭 also does hk Chanel allow vlogging/using iPhones? I always get yelled by the security guards and told me to stop recorded ASAP.

[@SamandVictor]

They're ok if you shoot a product on your body or if you're examining a few products! Just don't show the SA's face. But I've been yelled at before :S

[@lovelydays_jen]

I can already tell the classic size would overwhelm my frame, so I'd definitely opt for the mini. These videos are really making me want to buy a new Chanel, this is not good, lol.

[@SamandVictor]

sollie!!! I just needed to get these bags and all the research out of my system even though I'm sure my Insta audience is just confused by all the chanel vomit lately XD

Not consider medium classic flap cos I'm short. When my SA told me she had a small classic flap on hand (this color), i rushed to store immediately and paid cos I'm afraid its moving quickly. In fact, i want the mini cos it's more cute and cheaper.

[@SamandVictor]

I think the small CF is actually a great buy if you don’t plan on getting the mini since they basically hold the same amount of stuff. I saw it in person with my friend last week cuz I helped her get it and it’s a more rare size to see IMO!
