The older mini bag is my dream bag 😹😢 i hope i found one vintage. Because i really want a bag with 4 and not 2. you're Lucky Girl
I love both, but I tend to use my square mini more. Great video....
MaggyP Lukmanjaya hello! planning on purchasing a mini why did you say you’re using the square mini more?
Hi, I feel that the square mini looks more casual and the strap is perfect for cross body. The rectangular is a bit too long for me. But I m 5'2, if you're taller, rectangle mini will be perfect length
love this video! quick tip - the background music is a bit loud but otherwise this was great gave me some good insight!
dru ashcroft Thanks for the note! I will definitely look to fix that in my next one. :)

I like the square one.
UGH Super loved this review! Effing obsessed with the square mini. I think I'm gonna get one in black and silver hw but will forever be undecided between caviar and lambskin. Hope to see more from you! I love your personality and the feel of your video. 💕
+Olivia Guerrero Thank you so much! :)
And congrats (in advance!) on your new Mini purchase. I hope you get the caviar. ;)

Your rectangle mini is beautiful. I hope my SA can find me one. The blue in caviar leather would be awesome.
+Msleo329 Thank you! I will keep my fingers crossed for you that they find you one. :)

I liked the review but the sound of the music was louder than your voice! I'd go without the music next time
Thank you for the note. I'm still trying to work on my video productions skills, so will definitely watch out for this on my next one! :)

New sub, thanks for the comparison. I'm in the market, and this comparison helps!
+Jessica Vy Thank you, Jessica!
I'm using my son's you tube channel, but i have to say the rectangular mini now has two holes just like the square one.
I love the colour of your mini square!! May i ask which Chanel boutique you purchased it from??
+heyjaqs Hi! I purchased it from the CHANEL boutique in the Wynn Hotel in Las Vegas. :)
Aleesha Harris hi I’m looking for the square mini in their website but I can’t find it anymore . Are they not selling it anymore ?
love it ! thank you for sharing xoxo
Thank you so much!

I've been trying to find that exact square mini (colour + hardware combo) forever! It's so beautiful! What year/collection was that from?
+LizaMTL Hi! Apologies for the delayed response! I purchased it about a year ago (fall collection) from the CHANEL boutique in Las Vegas at The Wynn. :)
Thank you for your response. Much appreciated.
Great review !!! So helpful!!! Thank you
+jan buenavista Thank you so much!
And congrats on the purchase! I know you're going to love you new mini! :)
Love this video!!! I am going to get my first chanel and i love GHW but i have heard that it can easily tarnish, do you think silver hW is a better option??
+Andrea Castillo Thank you! I have to say that, in my personal experience, I have never experienced tarnishing on the gold hardware of my bags. Having said that though, I don't use them every day, so I expect that with increased wear, there would be tarnishing.
Chanel hardware is base metal, with the GHW having a gold-mix overlay, so it's inevitable that it will wear off. I've read several threads saying silver is the safest bet if you want to avoid tarnishing.
Hope this helps!

+Aleesha Harris Thank you so much :) Well I am super confused becuase I love GHW, but I know I will not have nay more chanel bags for at least 5 years, so I want to get one that will not get damaged very easily :(
Hi Aleeshia, I notice that the leather inside the chain hangs loose close to the end of the chain, its not stitched/connected to the rest of the leather and hangs out of one of the chain loops. is this normal?
+Phaedra Marangos Hi! It is normal on the single-hole mini. I don't believe I've seen any small bags where the chain circles trough the holes.
Hope this helps!

Are you sure the rectangle is caviar leather? I have a square mini that looks like caviar (I have a GST and it is nothing like that); I was told it was actually calfskin with caviar effect! Personally I think the Square's are much cuter!
+ZOE L.M.F Good eye! It is, in fact, caviar leather. But it's a "washed caviar" so it's less stiff than the typical caviar material.
Best,
A
Ahhh thanks perhaps mine is the same. It is definitely not as stiff as the caviar on the GST! Interesting. Thx for replying
Omg I love your red mini! May I ask you how is it doing right now (in terms of wear and tear)? And do you think that getting a lambskin bag with a lighter color will be hard to look after? Thank you :)
Hi! My bag is still a beauty ... but mostly because I don't wear it too often. Personally, I would steer clear of a light-coloured bag in lambskin because they show so much wear and tear - especially around the corners.
But if you love it, and you're careful, you should get it. :)

Aleesha

I've loved chanel but haven't bought one yet. Are these always available @ boutiques?
Hi! Yes, always available at CHANEL boutiques, or as third-party shop-in-shops at retailers such as Neiman Marcus, Saks and Nordstrom. Best, A
This was helpful for my decision in terms of space
Thank you so much!

Can I be rude and ask for rough idea for prices for these bags I want a rough idea before I got into the shop as I find them intimidating sometimes!? X
+lucy rushworth Hi! Not rude at all. :) I know it can be a bit intimidating in those boutiques. I believe the minis are now priced between $2,900 USD and $3,100.

Music is so distracting
Thanks for doing the review but please lower the background music and speak louder.
Does the square mini fit the iPhone 6+?
+Anne Wong I was thinking the same
+Anne Wong Hi! Apologies for the delayed response on this. Yes, the square mini fits an iPhone 6 no problem, but as I don't have a 6+, I can't advise whether or not it fits on of those.
The iPhone 6 fits in lengthwise with a bit of room on either side, but if I'd have to guess, I'd say the 6+ will only fit cross-ways - if that makes sense.
Hope this helps!

Hi is your rectangular mini an older mini? I am looking for the double chain too! Seems more secure
Hi! Yes, this bag is from several years ago. There are always a few circulating on the resale market, but I hope they bring back the double-chain design for minis one day!
xx
Aleesha
Yes I really prefer the double strap!! 😕
Would you sale the square?
helpful
if you’re selling your mini square, i am interested 😁
Thank you! I'll definitely connect if I decide to. Best, Aleesha
Hi A, may i know your height?
Hi Devy,
I'm 5'8". On a good day. ;)
