I love how you're soo detailed like me! I've been looking for more reviews like this! This video was so helpful for me to buy my first preloved chanel!
literally just bought a single flap in the silver hardware so now have the exact same two bags as you!! Think my friends/family will think I'm crazy for having two bags that are so similar!
I have the single flap, and always wondered what the difference was. I agree with you both are beautiful. Very good video for someone thinking of adding such an iconic bag to their collection.
Great video. I don't know which is better either. LOL I had to make a decision on which one I want to buy and I ended up with the single flap. I had the Leather Surgeons restructure my single flap and I absolutely love it.
Leather surgeons definitely do great job most of the time. But I had to resend my GST because they didn’t do a good job ~ and they fixed the problem. Thanks for sharing! ❤️
Great comparison! I bought the single flap brand new before I didn’t know that much about Chanel. Then I bought the medium in the double flap. I find double flap beautiful but never use it. The inside flap annoys me. Love my single flap and it looks brand new!❤️
Thank you! Single flap is easy to use and definitely lighter. My husband says I have the "exact same" black bags and I should diversify! So, I may sell my black single flap and get it in a different color single flap. It was also cheaper for me to purchase the single flap (since it is very used) than my double flap, so, I find the single flap "easier" "more carefree" to use. I may have to get a red single flap in a good condition...... xx
Do you have both? Same color like me or different color? I'm thinking of selling the black single flap and getting a red single flap --- that way, my husband can't say anything of me having "same" black bags, hahaha!
@@fabulousirene All mine are black too! My husband told me to not buy black anymore since they all look the same -- obviously, he doesn't know what he's talking about, hahaha!
Excellent video! Some bags are meant to be worn the hell out of while others are meant to be mostly loved, double flap falls in the later for me. I don't wear mine as frequently but it takes up a different place in my heart than my seasonal chanel bags that are more practical and equally loved but for different reasons. In many ways my bags are like my babies.
such a helpful video. the squishy-ness of the single flap is somewhat of a deal breaker for me because i think that the structure of the double flap will likely resale at a higher value, if i ever choose to sell it. my next Chanel will therefore be the jumbo double flap. thanks for this great insight.
I’m glad it was helpful! Just an fyi, since this video was made several years ago, I sold both of these bags and now have a red jumbo single flap with a bag insert. But that said, I still think the double flap is much sturdier. Thanks for watching! ❤️
@@MyfavoritesWithMaggie May I ask why you sold the double flap? I just bought the single flap preloved and it’s on the way to me but I’m still having second thoughts because I like the double flap so much too! I like the double due to the structure and the way the grommets are placed, and the boxier look. But I got the single flap because of the 24k gold and the thicker cc’s. Ahhh! Still so torn…any thoughts?
Thank you so much! I sold the double flap black jumbo and now have a red single flap. That said, I miss the black jumbo I sold. I sold it because I felt like I had too many black bags and I wasn’t wearing it and also everyone in my family said it looked too big on me. I haven’t worn the red jumbo in almost a year either. With all the things going on in the last year, I just didnt feel like wearing such an expensive and very noticeable bag. Thanks for watching and commenting’. I hope you find the best bag for you!!! ❤️
If you can afford it I think you should keep both as they are different enough to warrant it. The single flap is a great carefree daily bag which you got pre-loved so it's worry free. In silver it has the more casual look, Your double flap is the more attractive and dressier special occasion bag.
Thanks so much for the comparison of the two Chanel bags. The may be on my wish list for next year! 🥰😉 planning in advance hahaha. But this is good to know. Thanks love
I'm so glad this was helpful! It's a touch decision and people seem to be very polarized as to which bag to purchase -- and we all don't want to make a mistake and pick the wrong one for us since they are so expensive! Thanks for watching and for your comments of encouragement!
I did a video on it and my single flap insert was from Senamon at Etsy. I love using it since it has a long slot for my big iphone and it protects my interior. I also think it may help with the structure of my single flap to have an organizer. xx
Myfavoritethings oh wonderful! I was gonna order from them but there wait time was less then ideal ( amazon prime has ruined me) I went for one from amazon. Should get here tomorrow 🤞🏻
Thanks so much! The single flap is definitely older and much more used. The double flap is almost brand new since I baby it. I know that a lot of people were into silver hardware for a long time, but I think people are liking gold as much now. I always thought that the Chanel bags look stunning in gold :-). Thanks again for your comments!
I prefer the single flap because the double flap is too heavy for me to carry comfortably. However, you said you aren't bothered by the weight of the double flap and that you cherish your bag. It seems like the double flap is the better choice to keep, especially with the prices continuing to go up. You enjoy using each bag though, so if you can afford to keep both of them, why not do that?
Thanks for your comment! I agree that the single flap is more comfortable to carry especially in mine since it's much more flexible and squishy. I totally enjoy both bags and was going to keep both when I bought it. However, I recently purchased a Chanel Reissue 227 and I feel like they're about the same size. Basically, my love for handbags is going out of control - hahaha! "Hi, my name is Maggie, and I have an addiction." LOL! That is one of the biggest reasons I feel like I need to sell one. I've been really good trying to keep the number of my bags reasonable.... but it's a struggle.... Thanks for watching!
My Favorites With Maggie in fractions, the bigger the number (in sequential order), the smaller it is. For example, 1/2 off sale is bigger than 1/4 off sale.
@@NadaYAlonso Of course! But in this case, the denominators are both 8. :-). I love that we're discussing math! Hahaha! In all seriousness, it's great that you took the time to watch and comment! Thanks so much! 😘
I would 100% keep the double flap! I feel it would hold its value so much more than the single flap. Also, you purchased it brand new and it looks brand new right now. And I know you got a great price after the discount and cash back. The single flap is already showing wear and tear and it will only get worse. Since you got such a great deal on it I feel you would be able to sell it without losing much. Good luck deciding!
Thank you so much for your input! That was what I was thinking too..... but they are both great bags, and I love them both! But, I totally understand what you're saying. I having been wondering if I should get a red single flap jumbo since all my bags are black...... I think I'll loose money if I sell the double flap even though I got it originally at a good price. The single flap is used and has some loose stitching and the turn lock sometime creaks --- still very useable, but definitely pre-loved :-). Thanks for watching!!!
@@MyfavoritesWithMaggie You've mentioned the red single flap many times, that's proof positive, go with the red single. Not only that, imagine how pleased your husband will be to see one in red! It's a no-brainer.
@@MyfavoritesWithMaggie I've seen many reviews where people say that the Gucci Marmont is very roomy as compared to the Chanel. Just something to think about.
Glen Daly My Gucci marmont red small is definitely bigger thank my Chanel M/l, but Chanel jumbo is biggest. I think Gucci small flap size looks better than jumbo crossbody. I like the extra pocket in the back and bigger capacity of the jumbo. I have my Gucci small listed for sale now. I had it for sale before and pulled it off the market because I just couldn’t let it go. But now I’m ready to let my Gucci small go. :-). Thanks for your input! 😊😊
ComfyNLux hahaha, this video was made a while ago. I sold both bags and now have a red single flap jumbo! I find that I don’t use the jumbo in single or double flap very much. I think it’s a little too structured for me..... that said, I rarely use the medium either. 😉
Great comparison video. I find the jumbo so heavy. But I have the Jumbo Easy Flap. Thanks for sharing. Just subbed. Hope you’ll return the love as well. 💕💕
The simplicity of Single Flap AND the LIGHTWEIGHT is UNBEATABLE. I already find it slightly inconvenient to have a flap vs top zipper,,, to add another UNNecessry inside flap is dumb to me I’m sorry! TRUTHFULLY saying ❤

love love. have you been able to find any single flaps replicas out of the country? if so which place
I have not seen any single flap replicas when I went to Turkey, China and Caribbean where there are a lot of fake bag shops.

Thanks for the video, Do you think the iPad Pro 12.9 inch can fit on it?
Thank you
I have a Chanel bag but not like your beautiful one. I love them both! I like the gold with the black! It look so pretty! Love the review! ❤️💕

Double flap got more pocket
Jumbo size is very Good..with caviar leather
@@MyfavoritesWithMaggie I agree! The gold hardware is sooo pretty
@@lilyyy5292 definitely! Love the compartments of the double flap but it’s heavy. Thanks for sharing your comment!

I would keep both but if you decide to sell the single then please let me know as I’m looking for one 😊
LuxLuv 101 I sold the single flap black and got a single flap red in much better condition! ❤️❤️
Good vid. I think 5/8 is smaller than 3/8.
Huh? 5/8 is smaller? But 5 is bigger than 3.... anyway, thanks for your kind comment and watching this video! ❤️❤️

They are different. Double vs single. Color of hardware. If you can keep both and then you don’t need anything else

Jumbo
Great comparison video. I find the jumbo so heavy. But I have the Jumbo Easy Flap. Thanks for sharing.
Just subbed. Hope you’ll return the love as well. 💕💕
Thanks for watching! Will definitely go to your channel and sub!!! 👍👍
Thank you dear. It means so much.
Double flap look class!!!!
The simplicity of Single Flap AND the LIGHTWEIGHT is UNBEATABLE. I already find it slightly inconvenient to have a flap vs top zipper,,, to add another UNNecessry inside flap is dumb to me I’m sorry! TRUTHFULLY saying ❤
