Reissue or Classic Flap?

Alicia · March 17th, 2008, 02:28 AM

So which one do you ladies prefer? A reissue with new chain or a classic with orignial chain?

For me, it's the classic with orig. chain. I think the reissues are gorgeous but I'm not feeling the new chain. I much prefer Chanels' classic interwoven leather and chain!

Yeah, I like the chain/leather combo of the classic Chanel straps too. But, I guess if someone was giving me a Chanel bag, I really wouldn't care what the strap looked like! LOL!

^^^oh, i wouldn't complain either! but if i'm going to spend a lot of money on a Chanel, then i want the classic with orig. chain. i have this thing for the interwoven leather chain

i think i'm set on the Jumbo too....black caviar with silver hardware!!!

well, i REALLY want navy blue beacuse i think it can be worn year round. but i guess they don't make them anymore. so i'd probably go for either balck with silver hardware, or beige with gold (such a beautiful combo!). i'm kinda hesitant on the black because i want soemthing for s/s, you know? i love the beige but i'd be afraid of getting it dirty at the same time.

what color would you ladies pick?

p.s. - aren't they (the classics) only available in black, beige and white???

My first choice would be black... my second would be white... Yes, I know... I'm boring... But Classic!!!!

Alicia · March 17th, 2008, 09:21 PM

^ oh i love the white too but i'd be so afraid of even using it....

what's your honest opinions on navy, black and beige? do you think the navy is for an older age group? which would you pick? i can't decide.

def. classic with original chain, i'm not really feeling with the reissues except for the largest one

Navy would be my first choice... then Black...

I don't really digg beige... although it's pretty and all, it seems too mature??!

You cannot go wrong with Black, but Navy is a nice alternative to black...

I would pick the black classic flap with silver hardware

Go the navy - I am totally in love with blue Chanel at them moment. Am desperately trying to justify the new metallic blue flap bag to myself even now....

Ohhh and i quite like the new reissue straps - i mean the classic is classic but the new look is kinda cute!
