The Chanel Reissue Flap bag is one of the most classic designer and luxury bags around the world! You guys know i love Chanel as a brand a lot, even with the recent Chanel price increases i still think the brand has and does create stunning designer handbags and thats why I’m really excited to share with you my review of my Chanel Reissue. In this Chanel review i go through the pros and cons plus what fits in the bag and how it has worn over the last 6 months. My Reissue is the size small, or classic 255 size. The Chanel 255 was created and designed by Coco Chanel herself and later reissued to the market by Karl Lagerfeld. Enjoy the video :)

Reissue is my favourite type of Chanel. Love that it is a little more understated & no real obvious CC's. Gorgeous.
What I love about that Chanel Reissue is that it does not have a visible logo, despite being a real luxury item. I want to wear it crossbody (which is very un-ladylike) with my chunky woolen coat, second hand wool jumpers and scuffed ballet flats. The contrast between the understated luxury of the bag and my grunge-y style makes my mouth water
eizhowa yesssss I couldn't agree more. I have been wanting the flap bag for YEARS now, but have been put off by the logo. But this is actually perfect for someone like me who loves Chanel but hates the flashy look. Now this is on my list😋
Lets be honest ladies, everybody knows this is chanel bag, even those not into fashion. Its written chanel there also. Who never care even no care Cc mean coco, who care can read easily chanel written clearly on the bag. Those comments are just funny, we buy it because its Chanel but why we cant just admit it.
huyen anh pizzabella I hear what you’re saying but I don’t agree with you.. The reissue bag is not recognizable by the majority of people. ! The truth is that only those who follow Chanel &fashion knows the bag. The answer to that is simple: the style is surely recognized BUT too many brands (cheap or expensive) copying it in our days! Also you have to understand that most people out there don’t bother with such things. On the contrary, a classic Chanel with the CC logo or a monogram Louis Vuitton par example are indeed recognizable by almost everyone because these bags are SO worn ! (I do have a speedy monogram but I don’t mind at all).
Loved everything you’ve showed here! I was really surprised about the LYXBAG crossbody. Love it!
I love your voice! Thanks for sharing your lovely hidupzbag / wardrobe collection :) I actually love how you store your collection and definitely an inspiration for me in my future home
My boyfriend bought me my first Chanel bag today - it’s a 255 and I’ve never been more ecstatic to wear a purse. Originally I wanted the medium classic flap or the black Chevron but when the SA showed me the 255 in prestige condition, I had to drop everything and say yes 🙌🏼 it feels like wearing an iconic peice of fashion history that Coco actually wore. You can dress it up and you can dress it down
Absolutely love this review! I'm thinking of getting a reissue (unsure if I like the small or medium more) as my first Chanel bag for my 25th birthday in March & so I've been doing extensive researching on it & sadly there's hardly any reviews on UA-cam! This was very informative & helpful! I can tell that you really love the bag & that makes me definitely all the more interested in it.
Anyway, I will definitely be checking out more of your channel because it seems very lovely & awesome!
This makes me want to get a Reissue!
great review, eva! i don't have a chanel bag in my collection (yet) but next year when i do get one, i am really interested in this one and the chanel rectangular mini 😍❤️
Really enjoyed that. Thanks Eva. Have a lovely Xmas. Keep doing your thing!
Thank you for this review, Eva! Love your channel. I recently purchased a reissue (mine is a 226 though) and I absolutely love it. I totally agree with you, I like the idea of being a classy lady and I'm hoping this bag will inspire me to dress better!
I've been thinking about a major Chanel purchase for the entire year. I was only interested in the Iconic line (Small/Med. Classic Flap) but your use of the Reissue actually had me trying on the Reissue Small. I'm tall, almost 5'9, and the Reissue was the only larger size bag I could wear crossbody! I'm kind of mad that you now have me thinking about the Reissue - you are throwing a wrench in my plan ;) Great review !!!
Thank you for the review Eva! Can't wait to save up so I can have this baby, finally!!! xx
Your bag is so pretty thanks for doing a pro and con on it. I just got my first Chanel the mini and I love it. I did a video on it and what I fit inside. So excited to have a Chanel they are truly gorgeous.
Thanks for the review! This was very helpful. Cheers!
I like ur videos and vlog,especially the once in which u reacted to Chanel price increases! I got my Jumbo last month since I prefer the structured look of the classic flap more than reissue , I wished to have once a medium flap in lambskin but honestly speaking I don't think I will ever do it with this insane price.
I am happy u r enjoying ur bag 💼 after selling jumbo. Waiting 4 ur next vlog
Subscribed after listening to this video. Love your low-key approach to luxury fashion.
thank you eva for sharing the history. It means a lot.not all knows about these things✨☺️✨ please share some more💖Advance merry christmas🎄🎄🎄
Lovely bag Eva! This size would suit me to a tee since I only like to take the essentials when I'm out and about. Keys, phone, purse, lipstick, sunglasses and I'm done. I enjoyed your review. Thanks and regards, Deb.
Hi Eva, I just wanted to thank you for your great video regarding the Chanel 255. It helped me to make the decision to get the reissue instead of the classic flap. I always wanted a Chanel bag, classy but understated, can be worn on shoulder for a more formal, ladylike looking and as crossbody for quick grab-n-go.
I did go to the SF boutique to try both on. Guess what? I got my first Chanel bag on the New Year's Eve and I think she is such a good start for another beautiful year. I am sure I will enjoy wearing it and want to thank you again for your very informational and helpful videos. They are always fun to watch.
Hi Eva I was not that fussed about the reissue but it has grown on me and I like the fact it's understated with no obvious large logo., in some situations I can see it being a big advantage that only handbag lovers will recognise it. I think I might be a bit odd in that I prefer single flap bags to the double ones , do you know if they ever made a reissue like that ? Another great video really enjoying your vlogmass x
I laughed out loud at you saying "I like the idea of being a classy lady" 😂. I don't think I will ever get a classic flap, but that reissue has been growing on me for the past year or so. I already got a bag this year with my diorama, so it will be a long time before I can afford my next one. And I'm so glad you get all excited when you look at it!
I love the Reissue, mainly because no one has it here. Lol! The leather is lovely too. Chanel's best understated bag. 👌🏾
I just recently bought a 227 with gold hardware and it is an amazing bag to use for work (and weekends!) since it fits a ton! No crossbody option though as the bag is a bit too big :) Love love love it!
Hey Eva
Thank you so much for these awesome review. I have decided this is THE ONE for me !! Can't wait to get it now 😍
I love the review! I like the reissue more than the classic flap with the CC because it fits with my style more, so I would love to get this bag in the future. Great to know it's a good crossbody! Do you know another website besides Fashionphile that's good to buy pre-owned designer bags?
Hi Eva! Thank you for your video!!! I am the proud owner of the exact same bag, and I love it soooooo much. For me it's the same, the more I use it and the more I fall head over heels about it. I agree with all your pros and cons, although the cons don't bother me one bit :) I actually love everything about it, I like the pointy top part and the size is just perfect for me, and the small size looks better crossbody than the medium.
I still have my classic lambskin jumbo that it looks very luxurious, but the reissue has my heart and if I could only have one bag, that would be the reissue ;) Xxx
i dont even want to have a chanel bag, but i just love listening to you haha
She does have a pleasant voice, I agree :)
I love your videos!! You are so relatable and sweet. Love from the USA!!
thanks for this review its very helpful. please do more videos on ootd. :)
I am so in love with this bag. It's my dream owning one but I don't think it will be possible for me to spend that much money (also, I am not working yet sooooo LOL). as always, I love your bag reviews and this one is no exception.
This review convinced me to buy the reissue (size 226) first, and it's great! Thanks for such a thorough review.
im so happy you found it helpful and now have you're own reissue to love!!
Thank you for an excellent review. I get confused though, because some speak of 227 and 229.
The Reissue is pointed at the top because it's wider than the classic flaps. So the flap has to "reach" over more depth to close causing the pointedness.
I love mine!! I have the 227 size in black with ruthenium hardware.
Beautiful Bag Eva💕
Great video. They are nice bags but never really loved them and the price that they are now puts me off too. My second hand WOC looks amazing still outside and it must be 10 years old. Ohhh I found two websites that offer niche perfume samples like Byredo, Roja, Les Exclusifs, One is called scent samples the other ill have to let you know.
I love how *hidupsbag* bags are designed to be beautiful and functional. With their bags, you don't have to sacrifice style for practicality.
OMG hope I'm not a grandma at 50!😂
Since you bought this bag, I've really decided I like it and wouldn't mind one myself. My jumbos are heavy- this lighter version would be amazing crossbody.😀✨💕
Would you make a review of the Chanel card holder, please. ;-)
It comes to the point at the top (and bottom) because it’s supposed to be a fully collapsible bag for ease of traveling-if you wanted to pack it in a suitcase for example, it flattens out completely. I have the largest size and love the additional space, although I have never folded mine down either. 😄
Lovely video thanks dear
I think the reissue is so beautiful, and I hope it will be my next bag. I own the jumbo and I just got the rectangular mini, and so I believe the size 226 will be a good in between size. The Chanel prices have become quite high though, and the reissue in size 226 is currently the exact same price as the jumbo. That was what I was told in Paris though, I wonder how much it is in London. Anyways I'm on a bag ban right now, we'll see in a few months or maybe next year :) Thank you for making this great review Eva, I really enjoyed watching it. Your reissue is gorgeous! xx
😂😂😂 I agree, I want to be that same Granny. I say that all the time. Granny goals. I don't consider myself elegant at all but hopefully once I'm a granny I will be

I really love this bag, every time I go into a Chanel boutique, I'm drawn to them.... I may have to really think about adding this to my collection😀
And there's something edgy about this bag! Classy and elegant, but also edgy
Hi Eva, I am seriously considering purchasing this bag in the size 226. Are you still loving this bag? Does it wear well? And if you have sold it already, do you have any regrets? Sometimes I sell a bag and which I had it back and eventually end up purchasing again.
I have been debating getting a Reissue flap. I just can;t decide what size Id want
I love HIDUPZ butterfly bag that says auguri / tanti auguri which means happy birthday
Gorgeous bag!! Have you ever considered selling that one and upgrading to the medium size? It might be away around the price increases. Love your vlogs!! xx
Yeah..I am thinking the same..If she has the medium,probably she won't need the small or can consider another style for "small" size say mini classic flap...
I am loving this bag!! It's so classy and elegant but also causal. What do you think of this bag vs the YSL college?
+Sierra Elizabeth Chanel would win for me but that's cos it's Chanel and also goes cross body plus it's iconic. The YSL is a great bag to consider (first impressions on it coming tonight) it's a hard choice resllynxx
Great review n it is a beautiful bag! 😍 I wear my ©©m/l cross body so it looks chic n funky. 👍🏻 Enjoy love! 😘😘😘 Sandy
Looks like great bag for me.I am a granny It is ideal for me in a country village.
Ha! Your grandma fantasies make me smile. ;-)
I have this bag and my only issue is the weight of the chain. It makes the bag so heavy x
Great video, but it was February 1955.
It's such a beautiful bag. Would you consider getting a classic flap again in the future?
+Malaika Rrr i try say never say never, but I have no desire or plans too currently :)
I really want one this year but should I go for small or medium?? I am about your height. Thanks for your advice.
+sandy hsyu I think it's not really about height and more about how much you carry with you and what you need. This bag really only fits the bare essentials so that's something to bare in mind :)
I got lost, which size is this bag?
+GabrielleLugo small :)
Thank you!
The pointed top is meant to be like that.
Eva, how's your reissue distressed calfskin leather working out in terms of durability? Can you take it out in the rain or does it get stained with water? Also, do you think it's wider at the base than the Chanel M/L classic? Is the leather as durable as the caviar leather and can you completely flatten it for traveling purposes?
It’s absolutely great :) I recently did a 2 year update video on it so check that out if you want more on it :)
If you had to choose again, would you choose 225 or 226?
Get the classic flap one this one reselling price is not as good at the classic flap
Do you still love it? i think i want one.
+Melissa Chavez yes love love love it!
Hi Eva is this also called the 225? l love your bag! cheers :)
+angelanch hi lovely, yes it is xx
Thank YOU so much!
You know it's CHANEL because of the diamond quilting. Also, I don't like the new "CC" Chanel bag because it may represent Chanel and Capel. Chanel was never married, not sure I want to wear "Capel" around. Lol
I swear the happiness I feel when 😍 @ #LVGUCI 😍 uploads a video is beyond!!!!
I love the chain of this bag! I'll probably like this bag even more if I see it in person. I love your review!
