I’m thrilled I finally added this beauty to my collection! So happy with the condition and the price I paid! As always thanks so much for watching! Love you guys! Xo 😘
Hi Mel, congratulations on the new bag! It is absolutely stunning. My first Chanel bag was a black Reissue 225 with gold hardware. I love it to bits and will never part with it. To answer your question, I prefer Reissies to classic flaps, always have, always will. Enjoy!
still cannot fall in love with the distressed calfskin, prefer the smooth leather, that's why i went for the classic flap. but i love how the reissues can be folded and crossbody.
So happy for you! I acquired my first reissue 2 years ago and absolutely love it - hands down my most favorite bag- so understated. I love that some people just stare at it wondering what it is. Awe, so soft and very transitional from casual to dress. Love it! Oh, than I followed it with one the size of your beige one 225 and love it too!!!!
Golly, this was SUCH a wonderful and informative video. Thank you for speaking on the history of the bag and Mademoiselle Chanel. Wasn't sold on the reissue before this, but really appreciate it now. Noodling getting this one now!
Congratulations on such a GORGEOUS Bag Mel. This bag is the 2nd Chanel bag on my list...you know I'm a classic girl. It's so amazing to me. Thanks for sharing the notes on CC serial numbers and size numbers. I was so confused about the serial, name and size of this bag. I still am to be honest. Will have to rewatch and research more. Thanks Gorgeous!💕
Such a beautiful purchase Mel. I can't believe that you're selling your red Chanel, but I like the idea behind it that if you bought another one has to go. I love the reissue but I also find the classic flap to be so classy and elegant, they're both so stunning. Thank you for inspiring me once more. Lots of love Mel, xxx your 17yr old fan from Trinidad
I love the classic more. This reissue one is a great purchase. Gorgeous bag Mel. Do you know the 1st, original reissue was made with gold hardware or silver hardware? I hope you'll keep this bag forever.
Omg Mel what an amazing deal. I had this exact bag but it got stolen last year and I miss it so much! I'm saving up to repurchase even at the silly current prices as his ag is so functional and classic and worth every penny. Enjoy using it as I know you'll love it 😍
I love my reissue more than my classic flap! I have the 227 size (or Large) in the same combination and it’s perfect as an everyday bag. I did buy mine directly from the boutique in Las Vegas a few months ago. It’s so lightweight and soft and carefree. And I didn’t realize how comfortable I felt carrying a bag that was more subdued. it works for all environments!
For me, the Reissue will always be the best of the Chanel bags. Or any other, for that matter. Second Hand is the way to go for this bag, given the huge amount you can save on it. Thank you for the video!
Hi Mel, love your videos. 1) Can you do a detail comparison between Reissue size small and Reissue size Medium? 2) do you prefer Chevron or Quilted Reissue? 3) Ruthenium vs gold chain? Looking forward to your comparison videos. Tqvm
Hi Mel, Love the Reissue and the Classic flap but, I would have to say I love the slightly more understated lock of the Reissue. Just so, so classy. Perfect for a classy lady like yourself! Enjoy and congrats on a fabulous deal! Love from the US South!
Love your videos. The more I see the reissue the more I want it. Next on the list. LOL. Sandi is fantastic. Purchased my jumbo over a week ago from her and it was an absolute pleasure to deal with her. X P.S. Can you do a video on how you store your Chanel Bags and maybe start a Q & A???
Mel, thanks for a snap shot history of your Channel bag. Also, lots of thanks for a good reference of finding a preloved bag. I have been looking into a preloved market for bags. Great video. Enjoy your bag. Xoxo Marjan
Hey Mel! Love your videos I’m trying to decided what mini bag I should get! And need some help I can’t decide between either the Alma BB or the Gucci mini Sylvia top handle bag and I was wondering if you could possibly do a video of all your mini bags to help me decide?? Thank you :)
I just started working full time recently, I love handbag but I just can’t seem to save for it. Every time I save enough money other things come up. I was wondering if you could do a video letting us know how do you save for these bag at the same time meet your day to day needs?
Congrats it is beautiful. I have the classic in black caviar with silver hw, I prefer the classic because I’m a bit of a “show off” and want the world to see the CC turn lock and leather and chain straps! I bought it new and been wearing it off and on for 18 years! I do like the reissue though!
Oh my gosh Mel, well done you!!! This is my dream bag and I have been looking for a distressed calf skin in mint condition so after this video (which is amazing btw) I jumped straight onto Insta to follow her and I dm'd her too. Thanks for putting her into the spot light and blessings 😍😍
Don't sell your red boy, you will regret it. These bags are perfect collectibles. Sell something from Gucci, but not your precious Chanels. Im on the hunt for a beautiful reissue as well... I have two boys, one red and one fuscia. Both are in gold hardware and I will never sell...They fit more than my medium and they are both feminine and masculine vibes. I prefer them over my classic flaps....
I still have 2 more boys, my white jacket boy and my black chevron, I would never get rid of all of them lol As much as I do love my boy bags I don't need 3, so that is why I decided to part with the red one as it was my least used. Good luck, I hope you find your re-issue soon lovely! xo
Congrats sweetie!!!!! I have been obsessing over this bag for SO long!!! I too want to go the pre-loved route and I have seen this seller on Instagram but have been hesitant because you just don’t know....now that I’ve seen your purchase, I will definitely give this seller a go!! Thank you for sharing!!😘 I LOVE your bag!!!🖤🖤😍😍😍
Everyone seems to talk about how Gabrielle Chanel made the first shoulder bag and that she carried it in her shoulders, but in all photos she was in while carrying the 2.55, she primarily carried it on the crook of her arm. It was the proper way to carry a bag. It was only in the 60’s and 70’s when shoulder bags like the Gucci Jackie bag and so on that people decided to put their chanel bags on their shoulders.
Mel this is a gorgeous bag!!! So glad you got it, it's so aesthetically pleasing watching your videos! Channel is one of those life goal brands, it just makes me so happy watching your videos🙌🙌🙌
It makes me happy knowing that my videos make you happy lovely. I just adore this beautiful classic beauty so I'm thrilled to finally add it to my collection. xo
Does anyone know how much commission is charged by timeless vogue to sell hand bags on consignment?? Also, had anyone used her services to sell? Cheers Lou 💐
Nooooo way I was immediately interested when I heard 46% off that’s some savings Mel wow I would have been watching anyway i got the bell notification this time sometimes I do sometimes I don’t youtube is so weird ! I just commented on Linda’s video because she showed the difference in sizes between the M/L , Jumbo and Reissue I didn’t realize that the reissue is not as large as the jumbo which was just to heavy for me but larger than the M/L classic flap ! Wowwww $3,000 off that’s just crazy I purchased my jumbo caviar double flap pre loved for $3800 USD that was before the price increase I just wasn’t reaching for it I have to be honest I am a LV girl all the way however I can say I did get to try what I thought was my holy grail (Jumbo) when I sold it I got what I paid plus $400 more and I charged more because I paid $300 to Leather Surgeons to have it cleaned and all the scratches were buffed put it looked brand new after leather surgeons did their thing ! The woman who purchased it from me was so so happy with the condition and it was her first chanel I did venture from LV with my small size Givenchy Antigona that’s another stunning gorgeous bag !! I think the reissue is the original and should surely have more resale value than it does but people want those CC’s to shoe I do like the wrinkled leather and chain makes it a lot more edgy ! You can rock any bag your just so beautiful inside and out congrats on your new bag my friend xoxo
I’m thrilled I finally added this beauty to my collection! So happy with the condition and the price I paid! As always thanks so much for watching! Love you guys! Xo 😘
I follow her page!

Nice! I am looking to get my first chanel and I don’t know which size to get! Jumbo or medium classic flap?!

I love this bag 😍😍 I’ve always favored the Chanel reissue, it’s a gorgeous handbag. You literally have the best taste in bags.
It's so interesting to me that this is a reissue when it has, to me, a very modern edgy vibe. Timeless. Gorgeous bag, Mel! Enjoy it!
So nice, Mel! Congrats 🎊🍾🎉
I love the classic more. This reissue one is a great purchase. Gorgeous bag Mel. Do you know the 1st, original reissue was made with gold hardware or silver hardware?
I hope you'll keep this bag forever.
I’m just getting into these Chanel and doors bags. I’m learning a lot. Is there somewhere that you can buy them secondhand in Australia?
Omg Mel what an amazing deal. I had this exact bag but it got stolen last year and I miss it so much! I'm saving up to repurchase even at the silly current prices as his ag is so functional and classic and worth every penny. Enjoy using it as I know you'll love it 😍

Great buy Mel! I do find myself use my reissue more, as I am more of a casual dresser ;) however both are classic!
