Thank you for such a great early review. Disappointing to hear they didn't think of simple touches that would make a huge difference! Removeable long straps ... the closure (which they have on the larger sizes).
Thank you for such a great video. You speak really clearly and get right to the point. I appreciate your honest take on what you like and don’t like about the bag. I’m hoping Chanel will remake with a magnetic closure too.
You are spot on with your review. Given that this is such a simple design, this was a chance to do some nice detail that would have stood out. For a bag to be called leather, it only has to have leather someplace on the bag, i.e. the strap or elsewhere.
True, true. Actually, I got confirmation from a fashion advisor out of state that I’ve kept in contact with that this is in fact bonded leather. And many others are too. He said “its 100% true.”
Love it. I just got the medium in denim- it has silver hardware- its my second 22 (have in tweed) I love the look- considering the small so thanks for the review!
Thank you so much for the reView, I was considering it as most of my bags are all minis and smalls, but now seeing your review, the leather string strap, the closure and no pochette it’s a no for me. It is super cute though, but I think the 22 bag bigger sizes are more my liking now. Anyways, it looks great on you congrats!😊
Hi.. Chanel stores are getting them slowly.. I would connect with your fashion advisor! You can buy on the resale market but there is a markup of about a grand.. be careful of fakes for sure.
Thank you for such a detailed review! I really wanted this bag since I saw it from s/s 23 collection last year so this video only makes me want it more🥰 sadly, SA who assisted me in store told me that they do not have them in US stores yet and he could not give me any answer of when we can get them:( I was sad that they didn’t even carry a sample that I could see it irl😢
Hi.. ugh the SA wasn’t honest with you. They came in very early to the US stores but were on reserve for VVIC clients :( I have one from the US and saw MANY IRL - I’m sorry the SA said that :(
@@koo2890 I’m sorry. I didn’t want to say it, but I want to be honest with you. I think they don’t know what to say because they are given such limited quantity. The store that does the most sales in the country only got six of them.
@@LuxuryDesigners I really appreciate! It’s always good to know:) I will definitely try to get one once it becomes available to more ppl☺️ thank u for the quality content and your comments🤍
Thanks for the review. I really like the 22 bag despite the controversy. I think it is such a shame they did not replicate the magnetic closure for the mini and also that they did not include a little pouch - I think that would have been a really cute touch. I saw the pink cardigan you tried on today which is my favourite piece in the summer collection. They also had it in green/blue which I think would look great with your blue trousers and it had a little skirt too 😃
hi I just found you on here by searching this bag. I personally just received it from a Chanel boutique in LasVegas -it's beautiful but so not functional. I hate that it doesnt close like the other 22s and I feel like you cant put anything slightly bulky in It or it sticks out making it a pickpockets dream ...Have you worn it out ? is it more functional that what I think ? I dont want to send it back but ....:( You make it look great. ! great content - Im a new subbie
Hi Betsey, and thanks for subscribing! For exactly the reasons you’ve mentioned, I have not even worn it out yet. There’s so much forgive me, but so much crap in terms of straps and stuff inside of it, that it makes it impossible to even open up! I think it looks really rock ‘n’ roll and fun, but I do not find this to be a functional bag at all. Like 0.0 lol I’m not worried about pickpocket so much just the fact that I don’t want to be digging inside my bag to find things. Lol.
@@LuxuryDesigners yesssss it’s a “messy” bag had they had a magnetic button to close it it might have been doable but I think I’m going to return mine for all the reasons above Thank you sooooo much for the help!!!!!
@@betseykimbrell723 With pleasure. I will probably be doing the same. You can jump on Facebook groups and make a few hundred bucks if you wanted to sell it resale!
I like the tomboy vibes! That’s why I went with the one with pearls. Plus, the Chanel logo has a cool edge being shaped like it is. Idk if I’ll keep it though. Not 100% sure :( I realllly wish they would have made the cross body removable and added a darn magnet! Maybe Im being too picky.. :)
I’d find the straps annoying, from the inability to remove to the one that keeps one from fully opening the bag to the fiddly closure. Reading that this is indeed bonded leather (oh, Chanel…) would be an absolute “no” for me.
Thank you for such a great early review. Disappointing to hear they didn't think of simple touches that would make a huge difference! Removeable long straps ... the closure (which they have on the larger sizes).
Yes agree! Small magnet, removable straps.. some minor details. Maybe in version 2... Not sure if Ill keep...
I really like the mini!! 🖤🖤
I do too! Wish they had thought of small details to make it better but agree it's a good bag!
Great review thank you!
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for such a great video. You speak really clearly and get right to the point. I appreciate your honest take on what you like and don’t like about the bag. I’m hoping Chanel will remake with a magnetic closure too.
Yessss 100% agree - it’s a flaw and needs resolution for sure. I’ve stopped with any small 22s until that is done!
Super cute but I think the small or medium is a better size and just as cute!!
The small would have magnets which is good for sure!
Looks cute on you interesting doesn't have magnetic closure all other 22s have it
Yeah that was a bummer .. :(
Love this, do you prefer the small or this one? Im doubting a lot, love them both
Mini :)
Thank you for taking the time to ask multiple SAs about the leather type! I think it probably is bonded leather.
I think it probably is too .. just wish they’d own up to it!
You are spot on with your review. Given that this is such a simple design, this was a chance to do some nice detail that would have stood out. For a bag to be called leather, it only has to have leather someplace on the bag, i.e. the strap or elsewhere.

Great review Dani. Love the mini as it fits your daily essentials 🥰
For sure it does! Im not sure if I'd use it over another bag.. hm.. still deciding if it's a keep...
Love it. I just got the medium in denim- it has silver hardware- its my second 22 (have in tweed) I love the look- considering the small so thanks for the review!
Omg the denim 22 is SO COOL!!! Very happy for you!!
Cute bag enjoy it
Thank you!!

Thinking the same! May not stay in the collection. A week to decide .. hmmm
Beautiful bag Dani I’m mad about the magnets tho
Me too- was just telling my FA tonight. Not impressed with the design. And the straps need to be removable. :(
Thnx for the video! Will you do a comparison between the Picotin please 🙏🙏🖤🖤🖤
Happy to! For sizing definitely Picotin holds more but happy to do a video on it! Coming soon :)
Thanks for this. How much US dollars?
5300

That mini 22 on you looks super cute! Bummer that it does not have the magnetic closure...
I know - seriously - and the straps need to be removable! Gr
Hi, are you selling your 22 mini Chanel bags?
Hi there, I’m not but thank you for asking!

Ah thank you for the great tip! I saw the skirt and bandeau but haven’t been able to make it in there yet! Hopefully soon!

All of those reasons definitely make it a very hard choice, particularly at its price point!
It’s pleather
I got confirmation from an out-of-state fashion advisor that its bonded
Whatttt no closure on the small bag? Wth?!
I know SERIOUSLY - I will bet you on future versions they fix that
She didn't buy it. It is very difficult to get. She didn't remove the tag even.
Hi.. not sure who you are referring to? I did get it.. have it sitting here next to me. lol
