CHANEL SMALL CLASSIC FLAP REVIEW & COMPARISON *Why I Love the Small, Mod Shots, WIMB* FashionablyAMY

<3

I got my jumbo in late 2019 in cavier leather. Is a beautiful bag but way too heavy also not a everyday bag. I sold 2 weeks ago..no point to keep as hardly reach for it compared to my coco handle

Love the comparison!! I can never understand why ppl say the mini fits the same as small flap. They do not! ❤️ I miss my small flap..... 💔

Love you're grey Amy 🥰

I remember a few years ago people all said the small didn’t hold much so much better to buy the mini for a whole lot less than the small. How the tides have changed! Although I don’t own one, I think the small is the perfect size!! Plus you get that double flap which I think just makes it feel so special and different from any other brand. It’s so Chanel! Great video Amy’! 🥰🥰🥰

Love the mod shots, very helpful to see the bag sizing & length of chains against the body. 👍🏼 I have the classic M/L caviar n just added the rectangular mini in lamb, scared to use it. 😅 thanks for sharing my lady! 😍😘😘😘Sandy

I’ve definitely been convinced on the small classic flap. I like the mini but I think I’d definitely go for the small first! The jumbo is also another gorgeous bag from the classic line.

I like the double strap length of the jumbo. I still cannot decide if I prefer it to the M/L. The jumbo size looks very nice on bigger frame ladies. Personally, between size M/L and size S, I prefer the size M/L as it’s more spacious.

I’ve recently opened up to trying a small. I always heard they didn’t hold much more than a mini and weren’t worth it. Last week there was an off white small in my boutique. I fell in love and couldn’t resist. I also tried the black with rose gold which was beautiful too. I kinda regret not taking both. 😬

Honestly, out of three sizes I like minis the least. My fav is medium

OMG the troll- what an idiot 🤣
SO glad you are enjoying your classic flap Amy!
So if you HAD to choose between mini or small classic what would you pick??
I love the classic flap and think it is worth the money. I don’t have a mini or a jumbo so can’t comment on these sizes.
Quick Q - do you ever think phones will get too big to fit inside a mini? It is a concern for me and the reason I haven’t gone for one. With phones now folding etc so you think there is a ceiling for phone size??

Agreed! I LOVE my small classic flap. The proportions are beautiful and the double flap holds its structure much better than the minis.

I bough the small flap last year, and sold it after one month, didn’t like the caviar.. it felt so plastic for me, and the interior wasn’t as perfect as my one vintage bag. The jumbo on the other hand, beautiful bag! I don’t really Mind the weight as most people. Love how much space it offers, and the whole look, its just beautiful and for me more practical than the small one. Although that grey Color of yours ist really nice.

Great comparison. I still own the Jumbo in leather as well as a denim Jumbo. I gravitate more toward the denim Jumbo and use that one all the time as a day-to-day bag. I don't use my leather Jumbo too often but I still love it. Maybe I'll sell it one day but it is still so beautiful and ultimately will never go out of style.

Great review, as always. I love a good mini because of the single compartment and the crossbody ability; but the classic flaps are just so much better made and look so classic!!! I only wish the strap were longer on the small or medium CF, but do understand that they are designed to be shoulder carry bags.

Love the classic flap! I too resisted it for so long but it really is amazing . Yes the price is crazy but pre loved isn’t even cheaper and nothing beats the new bag first owner experience 💕

Gorgeous color 😍 I’m drooling over the grays. Love the classic flap. The small actually fits quite a bit. Love it!

Wonderful comparison video! I know smaller bags are in but I still love the jumbo! Glad you decided to hang o. To yours

Tx for sharing Amy. Love the classic flap but unfortunately is one of my least used...thought about selling my jumbo many times but just can't pull the trigger. I still love Chanel a lot but maybe one day....hahaha. Beautiful small classic and the color is 💯 💯 💯

Another gem 💎 video 📼 if yours Dear Amy, which really makes me doubting 🤔😵‍💫 about which is the road to go for me in order to pull the trigger on my first Chanel bag 💼. On one ☝️ side I know that I will need to insert in it one ☝️ small bottle of water 💦 ( hence the jumbo 🤠🤑), and on the other side I have recently seen the small in that stunning 🤩 rose 🥀 gold hardware which is spectacular 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼. Very very torn now 🧐🧐🧐. Will keep you posted and thanks 🙏🏻 meanwhile for this very interesting 🤨 video 😁😁😁🌹🌹🌹❤️❤️❤️❤️👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

I used to think with the price increases there were no longer worth it, but I'm changing my mind. Years from now they will cost 20,000 and we're going to wish we bought more at 7,000 (hard to believe) I love the small on you Amy. I don't own a small, but maybe I will add one. I still love my jumbo. Great video!

I got the medium so that I'm able to fit my sunglasses easily, and a mini wallet for daytime! Not really necessary for evening tho. My next classic flap will be a small. So in love with yours!

I have sold my jumbo a few weeks ago. I bought it in 2013 when jumbo was still so popular. It's just too heavy to use it as an everyday bag and too small for work. We are generally carrying fewer things when we go out these days. Also, I used to carry 2 phones around (work and private) but have started using dual sim phones for the last few years and that also free up some space in smaller bags too.

Beautiful 🛍️ bag

Congratulations on your Small Grey unicorn 🦄 I currently own a mini,small and medium, Classic flap. Small & Medium are in caviar. The Small CF is my favorite size. IMO, it’s just a little extra special:)
I also have a Samorga organize in all three, to protect the interior. I do wish the straps where just a little longer on the small & medium. I had thought about adding a new Jumbo, to my collection. But didn’t jump on it before the last price increase. Don’t know if I would add one now. Big bags are coming back around….. that’s fashion for ya!
I’m currently obsessed with mini bags as well 😬

Just love your channel Amy. And your Chanel bags. I love mini rectangulars but also have CF in small and like you i find it just that bit bigger and love the chain length. For me my mini bags are great for summer as they are so light and easy! But when i wear coats or knits in winter i love my jumbo on shoulder but swung to my back a little. Holds heaps but with a coat it works weight and size wise.

I love to hear someone else say they like the strap drop length of the classic double flaps! They are perfect long shoulder bags, which is how you’re supposed to wear them!

so happy for you it a beauiful bag for beauiful lady

Unfortunately the small size does not fit my frame, it looks too small for my body 😭 but apart from that I love the Small!

I have decided to sell my Classic M/L for a small classic flap as it fits my frame better

I own a jumbo single flap as well. I bought it back in 2010. Now it has been sleeping in my closet for a very long time. I also think about letting it go and get the small classic flap instead. Thank you for the review. I now have my heart set on the small size instead of medium/large.

I would love to know how heavy is your small classic flap because I used to own the medium size, the bag itself was very lightweight, but the chain makes it quite heavy in my opinion. Thanks Amy, and big congratulations! You’ve been talking about the classic flap for so long!

To me they are both worth it, love minis and CFs (small and mediums equally). I sold all my jumbos 😓The 5 year warranty is new, It was only 1 year for all handbags but exceptions were made depending on the customer. ;) Amy do not use the “secret compartment” it is not meant to be a pocket, if you do, you might pop the side stitches. Also, to everyone out there, samorga 1.2mm has a hole as they do leave one stitch undone. The 2mm is better constructed and safer for inside bags. As per sizes, before here in the US the medium/large Flaps were more popular than small ones, but in Europe they have always preferred small size more;)

Nice video! I will nonetheless advise you not to pack stuffs in your Chanel bags to the maximum: you will eventually end up damaging your bag! I have learnt the hard way: I broke one of my Chanel bags 10 years ago because I had overstuffed it. Thanks Gosh, the bag was fairly new and they agreed to take my bag and exchange it with a new one!
I think the Jumbo size does surprisingly suit you very well. Maybe you would have worn it more often, had you consume less social medias contents?

The small would be the most perfect size for me, mainly as an evening bag but also useable for day; medium too big for evening and more formal occasions (in my opinion). The small is so elegant. I am envious! 😆 In June ‘17 it was $6,060 AUD and today $10,270 AUD, probably similar to Canadian prices. I balked at the price in 2017 and couldn’t bring myself to pull the trigger, was waiting until the kids finished school (no fees!) and now the time is right, I still can’t bring myself to do it! 🤷🏻‍♀️ I wish a could just jump but damn Chanel - that price is insane!

Love this shade of grey! Thought about letting my jumbo go after I got a Medium, but just couldn’t do it in the end. 😂 I would love to add a small at some point! X

Where is your Birkin , Kelly? Gal!! Boring always Chanel classic flaps Meh!

I love your classic Chanel gray color 😍

I'd go for a medium.

Team caviar. Love my small, but also still rock my jumbo when I want to carry more. I’d never part with either the way the prices are skyrocketing. Forever bags for me.

I love it! 😍❤️

Would you prefer small over a medium for a black cf?

What a great purchase! 21A Gray is the best looking gray among the Chanel gray varieties. Looking great on you =)

I am not petite but will small will be good? i want pop of color in small cf .. 😁 it looks so good on you!

Amy- question, I just bought that gorgeous 21A grey classic flap that you have. I was reviewing its authenticity since it was from Fashionphile. I noticed that the zipper pull does not have a brand/label on the zipper. I thought that all classic flaps have a brand label on it. Does your have a label? Thanks.

Hi Amy, great comparison video and I love the grey color CF. They all look so beautiful on you. May I know why u chose SHW instead of GHW. Thank you so much for your response😊

Love your small classic flap🥰

Excellent comparison as usual! Thank you!

OMG so grateful I came across this video. Almost everyone I've watched says the mini fits the same amount so I've never gotten the small but just the minis, but now I want a classic flap and you've convinced me on the size small! LOL

I put in a thumbs up in advance of watching this video so i can have the satisfaction of beating your troll in the opposite direction haha
