Great video! This video is helpful even years after it was originally filmed and posted. I love both the Reissue 226 and 227, but I prefer both sizes in black.
Hi Maggie. I know this video was a long time ago but I’m wondering if you kept the 227 and how you like it. I love my 226 and wondering about this size and how it feels. I am petite as well (5’2”). Not redundant at all! I have a black jumbo and a 226 and a limited edition griege Paris Benz ace bag that looks similar to the reissue. I am thinking about a beige reissue as I love the aged calfskin as, thanks so much!
I didn’t like the 227 as much as 226. I felt like it was too big on me. That said, it depends on how much you carry. I don’t carry too many things and my wallets are small now. That said, I think you can rock a bigger bag over the shoulder if you like that vibe. If you don’t carry to much, I’d stick with 226 - which I think is perfect. But I want the 225 or mini instead of 226 for crossbody. I feel like 226 crossbody for my body frame is slightly too big. ❤️❤️
It is so beautiful. I love the color. If you have any doubts, then just let it go. It is expensive, you need 100% happy about it. Awesome comparison video ❤️
Thanks sweetie! I agree with you! I showed it to my husband and he absolutely didn't like it. It thought it looked old and not pretty. So, I'm going to return it. I just have to pay for shipping, but it's better than keeping it and not loving it. Even though I got it for a great deal, it's not worth the hassle of trying to resell something I don't end up loving. Thanks for your comment! xx
The bronze Chanel is stunning! I think you should keep it! I see what you mean about a little wear! You have to see if that’s what you do t mind! I love it!!! 💕❤️
BStrong thank you, but I returned it a few days later- it was more worn than I thought. But I agree that it would have been a great color for summer. Thanks for your comment and watching this video! ❤️❤️
I think you answered your own question when you said you were not in love with the bag, you may regret keeping it in the long run if you don't love it now. Good luck with your decision and thanks for the comparison of the sizes. :-)
I think you may be right..... I got it thinking that I needed a non-black Chanel bag .... thinking of selling the single flap/double flap black for this reissue 227. But, I'm not drawn to this color. The size and the weight is really nice. It' as light as the single flap jumbo and flexible, yet it still has the compartments as the double flap. Also, the stitching on the top right and left side is loose on top. I think my difficulty in decision is that I got a great deal on the bag, and it's a good bag. Do you keep a bag because it's a great deal? I think you're right though.... I think it'll be easier for me to return it now than to keep it, and not love it, and having to sell it later. I hate the selling process...... Thanks for your advice!
@@MyfavoritesWithMaggie Hi! If you keep the bag because it's a great deal, you may end up using it more because you won't be as worried. But if you don't loooovvvveeee it then that's a harder question to answer!
@@MyfavoritesWithMaggie Mine is a dark silver/grey with ruthenium black hardware. I haven't received it yet. I just bought it today. She had a video showing it and it is in good condition. All the edges are really good and very clean inside. It's does stand up on its own.
I returned the new purchase..... It just looked too old for me even for a reissue. I also didn't get that "joy" when I was holding it. Even though I got it for a phenomenal deal, it was still a lot of money :-).
I actually think it looks great on you! I feel like it would be similar in size to the classic jumbo. Maybe sell the single flap jumbo and keep this one? Anyway let us know if you keep or not and thanks for sharing! 😊
You are too good!!! That’s why I bought it... it was not black (my husband thinks I have too many black bags) and about the same capacity as jumbo. My thought was to sell single flap and keep this. But the loose stitching by the flap (I have the pictures on my Instagram), prevents me from absolutely loving it. Also, I think I just love black better -. But I can’t buy any more black bags and need to sell them). You reminded me why I bid on this item in the first place. Thanks for your input! I’m glad you think it looks good. ❤️❤️❤️
I totally understand, the loose stitch would bother me too! Maybe return this one and look for another beauty in the same style! You can find some really good prices on reissue 227 size. Plus, I always find the hunt so much fun! Lol! Best of luck!
@@kklvoescc SOOO TRUE!!! I LOVE to hunt for a FANTASTIC DEAL! I waste so much time doing it though.... If you calculate my "hunt" time, the value of the bag may not be so cheap! hahaha! xx
Malaika, I didn't keep it. It was more worned than I liked. I also thought that the bronze look made it look older. My husband hated the color and how old it looked. However, the size is great -- it's like the classic jumbo size in what it can fit comfortably. Thanks for your questions! xx

Awww thanks! I returned the Bronz 227. It just looked too old for me. Thanks for watching and letting me know that it was helpful! ❤️😘

Both are beautiful
Thank you! ❤️
Gorgeous bags and very nice review! Could you kindly share the chain drop on both sizes? Thank you in advance 😊
I don't have the 227 anymore, but I thought they were about the same length..... 226 is 11 inches when it's doubled up. Happy Holidays! ❤️
The bronze Chanel is stunning! I think you should keep it! I see what you mean about a little wear! You have to see if that’s what you do t mind! I love it!!! 💕❤️
Hi! How tall are you for reference? I'm 5'1 and am wondering if the 227 will be too large next to my frame. Thanks! :)
I'm 5'2". 227 looked too big on me. ❤️
It’s a pretty colour for summer. I like it!!

So did you keep the 227 ? I just purchased one off a FB group.
No I returned it. My husband didn’t like that color and it had more wear than I wanted. What color is yours and do you love it? :-).

Lady B sounds really pretty!
I really love both reissues!!!!

I think the black one 226 looks elegant...if it does not make your heart sing...don't keep it:)
Josefina Berdin I thinks so too. Thanks for your advice and watching this video! ❤️❤️
