It’s beautiful! Yes always save and get what you want. If you go half measure you will still want the bag you want. Just save and get the one you want ❤
Beautiful bag, and the SHW makes it easier to use it during the day too without making it too dressy. I have the same in lamb skin. Black looks great on you and but you are so beautiful that I honestly think you will look great in any color.
Kate I love this video and your new handbag. I have had zero issues purchasing brand new from Chanel but you are not exaggerating when you say you can walk in a boutique and see a handbag with flaws. My issue is, why are folks leaving the store with a defective product and then complaining about it? In what world does that make sense? I love the pre-loved market even though the prices are sky rocketing. So many people buy and never use or are afraid to use their handbag so they sell to resellers. That’s a win for us!😊 Congrats again on your new handbag. Can’t wait to see it on your IG stories😊.
Yes, I prefer wearing black or gray most of the time. I have very few colorful items in my wardrobe that aren’t oversized tshirts. I love the black bag with the silver hardware, definitely would be my preference as well.
Black and white/cream is a classy combination. Color in my wardrobe creates stress and anxiety for me. I recently sold all the colored items I own. Now When I walk into my closet I smile & breathe 🎉 I only purchased some colored items bcoz they were trending-silly me!
A stunning classic, just like you, perfect choice! And lol, YES, I just got a gorgeous bag from the NYC Fashionphile yesterday, and I got about 3 pieces of grey jumbo confetti as well. Most of my purchases from them usually come from Carlsbad, and whoever packs shipments from there do not skimp on the confetti 😂😂😂
So, I wear a decent amount of black, but I'm more of a cream/white kind of lady when we're talking naturals. For color-color, my default is pink, but softer or warmer pinks as opposed to hot and neon pinks. When we start getting into stronger colors in general is when I personally get nervous because I have a harder time styling for those.
I was thrown off by the black interior but you’re right it’s really nice actually!!! I literally placed my order for one with black interior!! Fingers crossed that it’s just as beautiful as yours ❤
I purchased my bag at the Chanel boutique in NYC in 2008. I don’t use it as much as I used to, but I am keeping her. Congratulations on your purchase. 🎉☺️
Beautiful choice! I purchased that same combo in the fall of 2021 before the second price increase that year. Ironically, the strap was squeaky (when walking with it on the shoulder--long strap), and there was something off about the outer flap (it protruded a lot, compared to my other medium CFs). Needless to say, I returned it (was bummed), but I actually was looking for the small black with silver hw (feel like it's better for all occasions). The silver hw is better than gold (and my preference), since it looks better with casual outfits and day to day. Gold is a tad flashy and a bit too formal for daily use. 😅 As for the store experience, it's never been a fabulous experience (rarely I have gotten water!). I'm sure it was better pre-COVID, but I didn't actually start liking Chanel until fall of 2019. The Rue Cambon store wasn't even a great experience, the line was long, stock very limited, and the SA wasn't even really nice or helpful until I said I was purchasing something. Then she of course brought out coffee/soda/water for my daughter and I. I think maybe chocolates too, can't recall. It's a shame they did a massive price increase a few days after in Europe (so the prices are not as great anymore), and then again in the states this past March. The boutique experience is gone, so don't feel bad--it was gone before I started shopping there. ☹️
I wear black most of the time. I mix in white (usually tees) and red is my pop of color. I don’t like a lot of colors. I am a silver hardware girl as well. The only gold hardware I love is Hermes. All of my other bags are silver hardware. ❤
This bag fits you to a T! Worth it all the way, it’s gorgeous! You’re inspiring me to look at the medium classic preloved. Prices have been so outrageous new as well as preowned that I didn’t think this bag was going to be feasible for me. But now I’m rethinking. Enjoy!
It's Beautiful....I loveLoveLOVE Black and I wear a lot of it...Neutral is my thing....Everything goes with everything. Love your Smart Purchase here. ENJOY!!!💛
I never wear black or white lol (no black or white bags either), I feel incomplete or something. We have to do what we feel comfortable in. Black suits you. Congrats on the bag! 🙂
Get an insert from Samorga, it will hold the shape up. I got a thick one for my Chanel chevron surpique bag which is equivalent to the Chanel medium flap and it fits perfectly and shapes the bag nicely.
I think that bag is AMAZING it’s such a cooler vibe black with black interior and silver hardware, stunning. I quit buying new Chanel 3 yrs ago, the quality for price is a no. I have a mini rectangle with not 1, not 2 but 3 stitching issues in 2 months. I swore then, never again. Older Chanel is way better, way. I don’t think Chanel will ever get their quality where it should be as long as ppl keep buying.
I started being “wild” with colors instead of black. 80% of wardrobe is black but now I have dark purple, dark red, dark blue and grey, The colorful things I have are all scarves.
I thought only the smalls came in black interior, or actually, the interior of smalls will always be whatever color the actual bag is. Are you sure this is a Medium and not a small???
Yup! They sold black with black interior on the medium caviar flaps in 2010 (and some other years too I believe) 😊 Small classic flaps can also have the burgundy interior.
I trust Fashionphile’s authentication. But if I buy from anyone other than Fashionphile or Rebag, (which is rare) I would want a second opinion on authentication.
I enjoy your channel, but your hair and skin is always amazing! PS I despise the confetti, and wish fashionphile wouldn't include it. Different strokes for different folks! Great bag!

Black looks great on you and but you are so beautiful that I honestly think you will look great in any color.
I have anxiety with colorful home decor and furniture but I love wearing colorful clothing. Classic flap looks brand new! Great purchase.

the COPYMAXS would be super cute during the fall with a nude or tan or even tonal outfit! i’m thinking a tan wool coat with that bag!!
I personally love silver and black hardware on bags and belts. It feels modern and unique, but still classic.
You are definitely a classic flap! Congratulations 🖤..
I also love my black clothes and bags … embrace it and enjoy your beautiful bag !!!
Yes! You do you and wear what makes you most comfortable. Congratulations on your beautiful bag.
The medium is perfect on you 🤌🏽 Congrats on your newest beauty!!
Thank you Katie!! ❤️

Fashionphile...so sorry to hear that the mini didnt work out for you. I love this bag too!
In the opposite, i just dont like wearing black. Very little in my wardrobe. But i agree, dont worry about classic, go with whats you! Love tht!💙
I have exactly the same bag, same here I just don’t like gold hardwares on me, silver gives a much chill vibe!
Congratulations! She’s a beauty ❤
Thank you!!
Yay I got the same one new in dec 2022.. love it so much. Congrats! And yes I feel the same about pops of colours lol
I prefer to buy new and thus I won't buy Chanel anymore 😕 great bag! Classic flap in medium is my favourite Chanel bag ❤
It's Beautiful....I loveLoveLOVE Black and I wear a lot of it...Neutral is my thing....Everything goes with everything. Love your Smart Purchase here. ENJOY!!!💛
Fab Kate, congrats 🎉❤
Thank you Vivienne!! ❤️
I love watching your videos! And your natural hair! Lol I’m a silver hardware girl too ❤
I never wear black or white lol (no black or white bags either), I feel incomplete or something. We have to do what we feel comfortable in. Black suits you. Congrats on the bag! 🙂
I love silver hardware way better. Beautiful bag!

Great buy ! ❤the interior !
Beautiful bag! ❤
Stunning bag🎉
😊
I have this bag and I’m selling it because I don’t use black bags. I would have used it more if it was navy! 😁
I think that bag is AMAZING it’s such a cooler vibe black with black interior and silver hardware, stunning. I quit buying new Chanel 3 yrs ago, the quality for price is a no.

I started being “wild” with colors instead of black. 80% of wardrobe is black but now I have dark purple, dark red, dark blue and grey,
The colorful things I have are all scarves.
I am actually looking for this exact bag, lol.
Hi! Can I ask how much you paid for this bag at Fashionphile? It’s beautiful, I love silver hardware too.
You did yourself right 🖤🖤🖤
May I ask how much it was
Sure! 6,495
if u ever decide to sell hun please let me know
Do they make this bag with black interior?
Yup! Around 2010/2011ish the black caviar classics had black interior. I don’t see them often on the resale market, but they exist! 😊
Whether it's amzlv or anything else, I firmly believe that only a practitioner can detect a difference in the appearance or metal content of a sack.
I thought only the smalls came in black interior, or actually, the interior of smalls will always be whatever color the actual bag is. Are you sure this is a Medium and not a small???
Yup! They sold black with black interior on the medium caviar flaps in 2010 (and some other years too I believe) 😊
Small classic flaps can also have the burgundy interior.
Do you authenticate fashionphile bags yourself or trust their authentication?
I trust Fashionphile’s authentication. But if I buy from anyone other than Fashionphile or Rebag, (which is rare) I would want a second opinion on authentication.
@Kate Swan thank you! I just bought my first chanel vintage bag from fashionphile after watching your videos! So excited to receive it!
I enjoy your channel, but your hair and skin is always amazing! PS I despise the confetti, and wish fashionphile wouldn't include it. Different strokes for different folks! Great bag!
Thank you!! They should have an option at checkout for confetti or no confetti lol
Yay!😍
You have this in small don’t you?
If you're in the market for a high-quality and stylish handbag, I highly recommend #mirbags. Their luxury handbags are truly worth the investment.
You are gorgeous
The best video, reminds me of my LYXBAGS
This site #hidups was introduced to me by a friend, thank you so much for saving me money and carrying such a beautiful bag
