Your vintage Classic Flap is stunning! In the future, you might want to consider the Chanel Reissue in the 226 size because it solves a few of the negatives you stated about the Classic Flap. I find it to be a very easy bag to use and enjoy for the following reasons: it has a larger back pocket that fits an iPhone XS, the chain is long enough to wear crossbody comfortably as well as on the shoulder, the beautiful solid metal chain is very smooth and more comfortable on your shoulder than the woven strap on the Classic Flap. You are correct about the bag-in-bag concept that Chanel wanted the second flap to conceal the items inside from view. I don't think they are likely to update the design of the Classic Flap since it's been that way since the 50s, but they could come out with a seasonal bag that has your suggested design changes.

CapeCodBelle Thanks dear!!! Yes!!! 👏 Many people have recommended the reissue to me! I’ve been eyeing the 226 size in aged calf skin with ruthenium hardware for a while now. It sounds like the perfect bag. 💕

I think most lipsticks were a little bit slimmer back in the days; I have two lipstick from my Grams, they are slimmer than almost all my own lipsticks / lipstick cases. Maybe that's the reason it doesn't fit properly. I'm a little surprised they didn't change it that way so a Chanel lipstick would fit 🤔😉! Loved the video 💖!

I love this piece, one of the best - the lambskin held up so well, and you could see the smooth luxuriousness through the screen 😍i agree with you on many points, especially the quilting ( had several chevron prints, and i don't find self reach for as often as I did on the quilted bags. I very much enjoy watching your videos sweetie, this breakdown is so good for a Tuesday luxury sesh!!!

Great video!!! I too love the look of and feel of the vintage bags...Sadly I don't own a vintage, but I am hoping my newer lambskin mini will age gracefully and get the well loved look! I opted for the mini because of the chain length, and felt that the double flap on the medium large was too heavy and took up a lot of prime "real estate" inside the bag. Yours truly is a beautiful bag!!!💙

I totally agree with you on what Chanel needs to improve on. Two things would definitely be a longer chain for a crossbody option and the back pocket. If I had to redo things I would have bought the small bag so that it can be used crossbody. Btw I use the small "Love Letter" compartment for eyeliner, pens, or eyebrow pencil 😂.

Loved this review. And love this bag! There are always good and bad with a bag. And yes you were just blasphemous!😂😂 kidding! I agree with your points about the quality of vintage bags. I have several new ones but only my jumbo is Lambskin. I also have a vintage Lambskin rect mini that is from the 80’s. I got it from a lady that got it when her mother died. She didn’t think her mother had worn it at all. Not even a scratch on the hardware! That Lambskin is so much thicker than the leather on my jumbo. I too love the chain and the sound it makes. My reissue, though, is my favorite bag. The aged calfskin and ruthenium hardware are so carefree, amd it’s the perfect size, being a bit bigger than the medium. I can’t believe you let your kids play with your bag. What a sweet mommy! Enjoy using this beauty, even if it’s just around the house for now.😉❤️

The double flap’s function is because Coco Chanel wanted to protect her bag from pickpockets, which is not surprising considering she made the bag in 1950’s in Paris. The back pocket is slim because it was originally meant to just store cash tips for service valets or waiters, which makes sense because Coco Chanel lived in the Ritz hotel in Paris. The chain strap being short is also because Coco Chanel was short herself, the original bag’s size Coco Chanel used which was either the medium or small size, was always carried on her arm, sometimes as a shoulder bag, but often a top handle. That’s why it wasn’t meant as a cross body. The way Coco Chanel carried hers was more akin to a clutch bag with a strap, rather than a true shoulder bag tbh The bag’s design and functionality lies more with Coco Chanel’s time and life, not really for the modern age. I think the Chanel 19 bag is kind of the modernized version of that. PS. Your vintage chanel classic flap is stunning! Usually the quilting has flattened unevenly or way too much, but yours seems to have uniformly flattened and just looks perfect!

tai_techandcars The quilts flatten over time, regardless of whether it’s lamb or caviar but also the older bags had less “puffy” quilting vs what you see nowadays. Hope this helps!
