CHANEL Medium Classic Flap vs Mini Rectangular Flap (Which One Do I Recommend?) 😍

With all of the price increases with Chanel, I have been more drawn to the mini as of lately. I’ve come to realize that I am not much of a medium sized bag kind of girl. I’d much rather prefer small bags. I don’t carry around much. I just need my wallet, phone and some hand sanitizer and a lipstick/gloss. The mini is soooo cute and looks so nice dressed up and down. I really want to purchase a Chanel bag from the boutique one day and I think it’s gunna be a mini ❤ I might still want a small Chanel classic but I’d source her and get it vintage!

Definitely mini for me. Thanks for great review🤩💕

I love my mini crossbody!! I also agree with what you said about the classic.

You give the best reviews!😍

The small pouch for hand cream is genius!

Love a comprehensive review and as always, beautiful voice!

Thanks for this! I just bought my 1st pre loved mini flap..and i was curious about the differences in sizes..I'm so excited!💜🙏

Great comparison & Team medium here. I don't own either & because of that, I choose the medium size. Both are Gorgeous & on my dream list. TFS&I 🏵

I thought I would choose the classic flap...but now I am team mini! I'm lusting after a lambskin mini now! Love this pb&j combo you have hehe. TFS!

Great comparison ! 👏🏻

I love L'Occitane products, and I know about the sharp corners on their hand creams. I use fabric tape or moleskin tape and wrap it around the bottom of the tube to dull those sharp corners. It also saves me, when I'm blindly digging around in my handbag, from having one of those sharp corners catch me unawares and dig under my fingernail!

Where did you buy the shaper for the mini please ?

Very informative video. Thank you

Can you share how your lambskin medium red flap is wearing? thank you

I am team classic medium flap because I am not a cross body girl at all and don’t like playing bag Tetris 🙈. Great review! I am tempted by the mini to try it out, as I only have 2 classic flaps. However am put off by the lambskin only option as for me the mini would be an everyday bag. 🤔

I thought you might go for the mini as your one must have, and I was right! 😃 How do you feel about the lambskin though? I really want a mini caviar but the preloved prices are way beyond ridiculous now, so I think I’ve missed the ship with that one. I thought about getting a new mini in lambskin but afraid of getting scuffs and scratches on it because I don’t want to baby the bag. I have a vintage Diana bag in lambskin, and durable as the vintage lambkin is, it still does get faint scratches easily. Yes the scratches do buff out, but honestly I don’t want to be buffing my bags after every use. People say that the modern Chanel lambskins are not as durable as the vintage lambskin, and this puts me off from getting a new mini in lambskin even more. How are your Chanel lambskin bags holding up?

How do you avoid color transfer on the red Chanel?

For the hand cream try cut the two corners into curves, that way you don't need to use extra pouch for it.

Very detailed review 🔍 BEAUTIFUL bags 💖 Thanks for sharing my sweet friend 😘 Stay happy and healthy always

I went to the boutique last sat to have a look at the dark beige mini but the quilting was not puffy enough for me and it had more grey tone then beige i want so I didn’t take it. But definitely mini rectangular is the one I would choose between mini and medium. I still love my medium though 😄 i just wish Chanel making caviar mini again
