Great to see the different types of leather together for a more accurate comparison and your English is so clearly spoken - you are a pleasure to listen to.
thank you for your informative video! I'm thinking of culling my chanel collection at the moment and your video has been helpful in deciding what will be the best to suit my needs. I guess, not many people are able to compare the varieties for the classic flap and 2.55, so we're lucky that you've been able to post this up. thank you again.
Difficult question. I can't choose between the M/L and the reissue 225. One of them would be a great piece to keep ... depends what style you like between reissue or classic flap. I have just got the 225 so I can't really answer your question now which one I reach for the most. Maybe I'll tell you later in few months. Thanks.
Do you notice any sagging of the leather for the reissues? I've seen pictures where the leather will sag and scrunch up at the top where the straps are, do you notice anything like this? I have the caviar reissue and would love to get it with the distressed lambskin but i'm afraid of the wear/tear on it.
The sagging at the bottom is normal for reissue, designed to have a crease at the bottom for easy storage and packing when travel. I have no issue with sagging at the strap area. The distressed calf indeed is very tough and durable . Thanks!
Thanks a lot. With the recent price increase, I think I'm done with the Chanel classics. Still, a great piece of art to own. Wish you best to get them in the future.
Wow! Yes! Very pricy! I'll be 100 years old before I can get one especially when the prices keep going up! Thank you for the info and enjoy your handbags lucky lady! 😃👜
oh ! actually after i left this comment, i went online and saw there is the reissue in lambskin, however it's very rare cos mostly was in the aged distressed leather.. but thanks anyway :)
+skess94 Yes. The small we call the 225, and then it goes 226 for the medium, 227 for the large/jumbo etc. The 225/small was the medium before (there was a 224 bag that got discontinued), so it is less confusing to say 225. If you go to a Chanel store, they won't know what it means, because it is not the official terms. The bag isn't called a reissue either. At Chanel a "reissue 225" would be called a "small classic 2.55 bag". The terms 225, 226 etc was develloped on forums such as thepurseforum, I believe. Everyone uses the term there:) Exactly why we call it 225 I am not sure about. Maybe because it has 5 stitches per diamod, while the 226 has 6 stitches, the 227 7 stitches etc. It is kind of a bag nerd slang term;)
I also asked about the terms 226, 227 at 2 different Chanel stores and the sales associates do not use any of those terms to indicate handbag sizes and it is correct to say that it's just lingo for we the consumers to use in describing sizes of a 2.55 handbag
+johanna vincent Yes, we call the bags 225 and 226 as slang. It refers to the size of the bag, not the model.The correct name is a 2.55 classic like you said:)
I found ur video very uninformative. Now, I'm really thinking off getting 225. Distressed calf is durable than caviar or as durable as the cavivar? Thx!!
Wonderful review and comparison!! I have watched hundreds and hundreds of Chanel reviews, and you're absolutely the best! Chanel owes you a huge thank you, because you have helped and educated so many perspective Chanel buyers. Many, many thanks!💜👜
It took me much longer to do English video. I'm usually a fast speaker so I tried my best to speak slowly otherwise you won't understand my accent hehe. Thank you very much for your encouragement and support.
Omg thank u for doing this video in English, I've been looking for a comparison of these purse on RUclips forever! Love it!
Thanks :)
Very detailed with the straps and flaps and pockets and lengths etc. Thanks. Really helped in me in choosing my first C bag.
Funk Riza You're welcome. I'm glad it's helpful. Good luck choosing your first CC bag, thanks :)
Great to see the different types of leather together for a more accurate comparison and your English is so clearly spoken - you are a pleasure to listen to.
Ahh, thank you very much for your kind words. I'm glad the comparison is helpful :)
Thank you very much, I'm glad it's helpful. Will try to do more Eng review :)

You're welcome. Thank you very much for your kind words. I'm glad my review is helpful. Good luck deciding for your Chanel :)
Hi... May I know the 225 & 226 chain which you prefer base on ur body frame?
I have a question which of these four bags you find yourself reaching for the most and if you had to only keep one which would it be?
Difficult question. I can't choose between the M/L and the reissue 225. One of them would be a great piece to keep ... depends what style you like between reissue or classic flap. I have just got the 225 so I can't really answer your question now which one I reach for the most. Maybe I'll tell you later in few months. Thanks.
I found your review very helpful! There aren’t a lot of reviews on the 225 which I’ve been looking for.
Do you notice any sagging of the leather for the reissues? I've seen pictures where the leather will sag and scrunch up at the top where the straps are, do you notice anything like this?

Thank you for your comparison video on your Chanel handbags! They are beautiful! I love them! I wish I could own one, one day. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks a lot. With the recent price increase, I think I'm done with the Chanel classics. Still, a great piece of art to own. Wish you best to get them in the future.
What is a reasonable price for a pristine, but previously owned med/large caviar with silver or gold hardware?
Excellent comparison! Are the reissue 255 and 226 less expensive than the classic flap M/L and Jumbo?
Your collection Chanel is really sublime;-) the biggest bag on this video is the jumbo or the jumbo maxi?
Thank you for sharing this comparison video. Planning to buy a 225 and your vid has help me a lot with my decision👌
Thank you! I will be lucky if I am able to get at least one Chanel in black caviar in the Jumbo size. I'll be working for it for the next 5 years! 😃
Wow! Yes! Very pricy! I'll be 100 years old before I can get one especially when the prices keep going up! Thank you for the info and enjoy your handbags lucky lady! 😃👜
You're welcome, thank you too!
Thank u dear so much this is super helpful in the reissue size compare to the cc bags. Much love dear. Wear always in wonderful health
Does the reissue only come with distressed leather ? Does it not come with the normal smooth lambskin?
+Tina Groans It only comes in aged calfskin. Seasonal pieces will pop up in caviar as well. Most recent seasonal "trend" is the reissue in denim.
oh ! actually after i left this comment, i went online and saw there is the reissue in lambskin, however it's very rare cos mostly was in the aged distressed leather.. but thanks anyway :)
Can you put the same amount of items in the 226 and in the jumbo? Thank you.
Very similar capacity, jumbo might be just a bit bigger. Thanks.
Terrific and thorough review. Thanks so much! Beautiful collection.
You're welcome. Thank you very much too :)
Thank you very much :)
Hi sira! Are u selling any of your reissues?
Which one you love most ka? 😁
Do you still have the reissues?
Great comparison. Thank you!
Love your videos, so informative and you have a beautiful collection ..
Oh may I ask how much the jumbo size is? Thanks!
The jumbo is currently Aus$7730, crazy price! Better get it from Europe.
Awesome review with great detailed info! Beautiful bags👛. Just subbed to your channel.
Thank you very much :)
Thanks a lot dear!
I never heard of 226. Does anyone know what that means?
+skess94 Yes.

Vini Johnson True. I think calling them "small", "medium" etc is a very poor description, because they add and remove sizes....
Buying a reissue this was SO helpful thanks xoxo 🖤🖤🖤
Thank you for the comparison of these gorgeous bags,bi have the jumbo classic flap, but would love to add the large to my collection
Thank you very much. The m/l is my favorite, a must have. I prefer it more than jumbo. 😊😉
the name of the bag is 2.55 and not 22.5 :)
225 is referred to the small reissue not the style. Thank you :)
+johanna vincent Yes, we call the bags 225 and 226 as slang. It refers to the size of the bag, not the model.The correct name is a 2.55 classic like you said:)
this is a very very helpful, just wonderful video!! such great info. thanks for this!!

ชอบมากๆ ค่ะ ทำคลิปแบบภาษาอังกฤษออกมาเรื่อยๆ นะคะ หนูฝึกภาษาอยู่ค่าาาา ^_____________^
Would you fit a bit more in 225than m/l because of the wider bottom?
Yes, just a bit more. Thanks.
I found ur video very uninformative. Now, I'm really thinking off getting 225. Distressed calf is durable than caviar or as durable as the cavivar? Thx!!
Thanks for the video!! This is great!!
