I’m here, and I’m ready! 😍 I absolutely love how detailed you are in ALL your videos ~ I’ve got so much to learn from you! The vintage Diana is so chic but I haven’t found the perfect one yet 😆 I still prefer lambskin over caviar, not sure why 😅 Ps. I absolutely LOVE your hair and top in this video! So naturally chic!
Thank you so much Nicole for checking out this video and for being so sweet as always! I need to learn editing from you, all your videos have that professional touch. Good to hear you're a lambskin fan - i think it's just me being strange and picky haha! Wishing you a fab week ahead and catch you back on IG :)
Hello, I have been a fan since you started UA-cam. You seem to be more relaxed now and OMG, not only your hair is beautiful, but you have regained your figure after baby, I loved all the details on the Channel comparison bags and vote for your favorite, the Classic Medium Double Flap. Great detail, intonation and detail. Don't stay away too long... missed you.
Hi Marie always so good to see you! Thank you so much for being one of my earliest subscribers and taking the time to watch my videos and leave feedback - you are an absolute sweetheart. Glad to know you're a fellow Classic fan in the end :) The funny thing with my hair is that after my baby was born, i weaned myself off using shampoo/conditioner (took 2 months) and somehow my hair has gained extra volume as a result! Wishing you a fab week and hope to catch you again next month if you're interested in learning about the Goyard Saigon top handle :) Take care!
First time commenting but watching you for a long time. Honestly I knew about all of this already because I am vintage Chanel lover like you but as always I enjoyed every second of this 21:47 long video because you always comes with FACTS and not assumptions or « thoughts » like others. Never a « I think » « not sure » « I assume » « I’ll have to check that » So well explained and detailed, with background check, accurate info. And I am here for it!!!! Lol And I like your voice and ton so much. Some people are trying to copy you out there but they are nowhere near your level! Come through with the details and facts mama! BTW you look gorgeous in that cute outfit! ✨Thanks for an amazing vidéo as always.
Hi there IamLBBA thank you SO much for taking the time to share your thoughts! I love hearing from a 'long time listener, first time commenter'. I always get asked - even by my husband haha - why i bother to make my videos so detailed and long when it's known that most UA-cam audiences don't watch longer than 10min. And the answer is for people like you! Love that you're a fellow vintage Chanel fan and enjoy a thorough, factual, analytical dissection of handbags :) I also have to thank you for your patience as a viewer - not everyone can put up with my ramblings. Wishing you a fabulous week and looking forward to catching you again in the future
@@cmk7585 oh yes I watch every single minute of your videos no matter if they are 10 or 30 minutes long. Thank you for doing them. Have a lovely week you too.
I love the level of detail in your videos and the wonderful flair you have for expressing yourself. You have the perfect balance of appreciating aesthetics levelled with the practicality of structure and function As someone who has become a mum quite recently it would be great if you could share how a luxury bag lover sits with being a mum- do you keep your bags for weekend use or do you use them for a trip to the park / as a baby bag? I must admit I keep my chanel bags for date nights, but I would love advice on how I can incorporate them in a more carefree way into family life..
Hi Sarah thank you so much for watching and taking the time to leave detailed feedback, it's fantastic to hear from you! Glad to meet a fellow new mummy :) Tbh i reserve my luxury handbags for date nights or family events where i know we'll get some extra help with the baby - then i have the extra space & time to actually enjoy wearing an expensive (& usually more cumbersome) handbag. The only exception to this rule is my LV Alma BB which i take on more frequent, day to day trips with my baby - i love that it's light, durable, crossbody, easy to get in/out of. Generally i travel with only my essentials on my body (so a smaller bag) and i use a non-designer tote for all the extra items. This may be a bit unusual as i know some mums swear by a large designer tote like the Neverfull but personally i love that a cheap, fabric tote can be dropped and rained on and scraped accidentally without causing any stress. I find crossbody, scratch/water-resistant, light minis to be most compatible with running around after my baby :)

This was really good and the detail was great. I would like to add though that my Diana is the small in black lambskin and I do wear it as an evening bag, but having said that, I do agree that the medium in caviar is a much more casual look. I looked at the prices of them recently and nearly fell off my computer chair. The last time I looked they were going for aud$2000 - 2500 and that wasn’t a long time ago, perhaps 3 years or so. I bought mine back in the early 90s and they were under $1000 brand new then. It’s certainly been a good investment.
Always good to hear from you Suzanne and love your insight! You're spot on re the small vs medium size - i totally forgot to mention in my video that the small Diana is perfect as an evening bag (argh mummy brain!). Totally agree that 3 years ago the Diana was still affordable - and it's incredible that you bought yours for under 1k!! Clearly you have fabulous style and investment sense :)
Thanks, but I think luck had more to do with it. When I bought my Jumbo in 2013 it seemed like a huge amount of money at the time but now I am really kicking myself that I didn’t buy two. It just never occurred to me that in such a short time the price would more than double.
Great review. I’ve been looking at with and was leaning towards the Diana and your review has just confirmed it. I have noticed many bags claiming to be vintage Diana bags don’t have nice puffy quilting though.
Hi Leny thank you so much for leaving such a sweet comment and i apologise for the late reply - i have been absolutely swamped with work/life! My november upload got delayed but i am working hard on a review of the Goyard Saigon to share later this month :) Look forward to catching you again if that interests you. Take care!
Literally just purchased a vintage quilted mini flap, I've been trying to decide whether or not it's a good investment and decided to just go with it since we only live once! I can just earn the money back, it was a pretty good deal and I can send it in to get the hardware re-plated. I think this will be the only one I purchase until I'm confident enough to invest in another one, which will probably be a while, but I'm only 21, so I'll just live my best life! XD
The Diana is such a great bag. IMO it has the look of the Boy w/o the annoying boxy /sharp corners and loud straps. I think you'll really enjoy this one.
So true!! I was never seduced by the Boy and i think you've really captured the bag's shortcomings. Yes the Diana is here to stay, that's for sure :) Wishing you a fab week ahead!
CMK, I love your detailed videos on luxury handbags and jewelry. And it is so beautiful to hear, how masterfully you describe the the bags.. After watching your videos I immediately go to find such a masterpiece you describe..
Hi Edda Weiss thank you so much for watching and leaving a kind comment, i really appreciate it :) It's exciting to hear you searched up the bags after the video - just beware the shocking price tags! Wishing you a fab week and hope to catch you again next month if you're interested in learning about the Goyard Saigon top handle. Take care!
Wow another fantastic detailed informative video CMK, it's so great to know the history of these bags. Beautiful classic vintage bags. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I love to own a vintage chanel bag one day, a classic flap 😍❤🖤🤍

Hi Always Antonette thank you so much for watching and leaving such a kind comment, i really appreciate it! I'm sure it's just a matter of time before you find your perfect Diana - on that note, probably best to wait for the spotlight to pass as the prices are currently crazy but i'm sure there will be a slowdown as the trend shifts to focus on another vintage bag. Wishing you a fab week and hope to catch you again next month if you're interested in learning about the Goyard Saigon top handle :) Take care!
Amazing as per usual! Thank you for sharing. I have been on the fence with vintage Chanel bags but you’ve definitely validated that I’d like to get one! I also adore the bright yellow of the 24k gold plate! Can’t wait for your next video 🥰
So good to see you! Thank you for taking the time to check out this video and leave a kind comment - also glad to hear you're a fellow fan of the bright yellow GHW :) I'm glad and sad to hear that i've swayed you to the (vintage chanel) dark side - i find the recent price inflation ridiculous! Hopefully you can find your vintage bag for a fair price - then i'm sure you will love it :) Take care and catch you back on IG!

I absolutely LOVE this video! ❣️ Thank you so much for all the information, you know my love for Chanel. 😉 Your diana flap in caviar is gorgeous and it's now on my wish list when I visit Japan. 😛 The lambskin to your vintage classic flap is so much better than the lambskin flaps made in the past decade. 👍🏻 Sorry I waited so long to watch. XO
Becky, never ever apologise! If there's one thing i know about mummy life, it's that there's never any free time haha. Can you believe you've been watching my videos for 3 years? REALLY appreciate it and that we have a friendship from across the ocean. Really glad you enjoyed the video as a hardcore Chanel fan :P Always watch at your leisure. Happy new year to you and the family!
@@cmk7585 You are forever sweet and kind. I am a loyal fan to your channel so you can be sure I will keep on watching. You make quality videos that are so informative and so worth the wait. And I'm so happy you said 'friendship' bc I feel the same. If you are ever in NYC I would love to meet up! XO

Hi there ! It’s a pleasure to see you on UA-cam again! I really hope your pregnancy went well. I’m there since your Hermès story in PARIS FSH, it was a very helpful video! I’m very happy that you are back, please take care of yourself ! Greetings from france! - LAURA
Hi Laura it's so lovely to hear from you again, thank you for watching this video and taking the time to leave such a kind comment! Yes my pregnancy went well and our son is wonderful, thank you for thinking of us :) Actually on that topic...i just shared on my Instagram that i am accidentally pregnant again haha, so our second (last!) baby is joining us next year June. In 1hr i am uploading a detailed review of the Goyard Saigon, another gorgeous bag/label from your country :) Hope to see you again if that interests you. Merry Christmas to you and your family!
@@cmk7585 Oh m’y god! That’s wonderful news! I’m very happy for you guys! Family is growing then!!! Your videos are very helpful and I’m not used to leave that much comments on UA-cam but your hermès story have helped me a lot to get mine! I can only wish you to have a pregnancy the way you wish! I will for sure check your video! Take care of yourself xoxo Laura

Love your video! I do not see in the description the location pr details of the clip you used to shorten the chain on the Diana bag. Can you please comment or send the link or details on that clip please? Thank you!!
Great informative video as always! 👍 I have the medium Diana in black lambskin with the back pocket. I love the spacious back pocket which fits my iPhone XR easily, and I can fit so much in this bag - the same amount as a regular Coach Cassie, and yet it’s still relatively lightweight, which I attribute to the lambskin. I also love the longer strap which is perfect length for me as a crossbody. The only negative thing about the bag is that the lambskin does scratch easily, which prevents me from using it as an everyday bag. Yes you can buff out the minor scuffs easily, but it’s a nuisance to do this every day. Am contemplating a medium classic flap in caviar skin & silver hardware for my next purchase but refraining from pulling the trigger because this model contains three of my handbag deal breakers - short strap which looks awkward as crossbody, a near useless back pocket which can’t fit a mobile phone, and the second inner flap which annoys me to use on a daily basis (experienced from my Reissue 225). Still, I can’t stop thinking about the medium classic flap in caviar skin & silver hardware, especially with the gorgeous burgundy interior & lipstick pocket, and feel that my Chanel collection won’t be complete without a classic flap with burgundy interior. Against my own logic and better judgement, I know I’ll continue to obsess about this bag until I’ve saved enough money to finally cave in and buy it 🤯🏳 🤷🏻♀️🤪
Hi Jamel Sydney so good to hear from you! Wow you're one of the lucky few with the rare Diana size with the back pocket and you've raised such a good point re external pockets (ideally) fitting mobile phones. Wise call holding off on the classic flap for its shortcomings...but yes i agree, somehow our heart always wins over our head in these situations! I love Coach too - my most used & abused bag for daily mummy life is a nameless Coach crossbody. Wishing you a fab week and hope to catch you again next month if you're interested in learning about the Goyard Saigon top handle :) Take care!
I just purchased the vintage medium diana with the back pocket (brown lambskin with GHW) which prompted me to watch this vidoe. I'm glad you found the pocket useful. I haven't seen much with the outer pocket and happy to know that is a rarer find.

I love chanel! This was a great review 🤗😍 i just got my first double flap, but definitely would love to add diana, some day too 😍 love this history and facts you shared ❤️❤️
This was a fantastic video!! As always I learn so much! Still trying to decide on size for the Diana but for me its price & condition that probably will determine my ultimate choice. Must say you are looking so fit! Stay safe 🙋♀️😘
So good to see you birdiebirk and as always, thank you for taking the time to check out my video and leave such kind feedback! It's always refreshing to see a collector wisely making the right decision when they're ready :) Keen to see what you decide in the end re size - i totally forgot to mention it in this video but Small Diana is great as an evening bag!

Hi there! Absolutely love love love your videos (wish I have stumbled upon your channel earlier). I want to quickly check how much did your white diana cost? Looking to buy one myself but all the ones I've seen so far are ridiculously priced :(((
You got the only Chanel bag that tempts me: the Diana vintage bag! Same for the Lady Dior. I wonder why 😉 Btw you look RADIANT! What are you doing for skincare / workout? Dish it!
Spoken like a true princess :) You have excellent taste! And thank you for the compliment, i was surprised how flattering this video turned out! TBH i'm beyond boring - i moisturise with QV cream post shower, never wear makeup and i weaned myself off shampoo/conditioner after my baby was born. So i just wash my hair with hot water. Somehow the lack of chemicals has allowed my hair to be more voluminous/wavy which was a nice surprise

This video is so interesting and informative! I appreciated this a lot. Would you by any chance if both Diana and classic flap fit a 500ml water bottle…?
Such a great and informative video on vintage flaps and CC history! Love your video! Just subbed! Ps. Gorgeous vintage Chanel collection! I have the Diana flap in lamb and love ❤️ it cuz it’s so light weight as compared to the classic double flaps. I’m still looking to add a Diana flap in caviar.
Hey Mrs W it's great to see you here :) Thank you so much for taking the time to check out my video and leave such a kind comment, i really appreciate it! I just subbed to your channel. You have such an amazing Chanel collection, a caviar Diana would be the cherry on top! Looking forward to when you find your perfect one :)

Hi Unni T thank you so much for watching and i apologise for the late reply - i have been absolutely swamped with work/life! Yes when i was shopping for my vintage classic flap i was searching for a while to find one that was still puffy on the front - it has flattened in the back but i think that's good enough considering the age :) Either way, flat or puffy, it's a beautiful bag with that striking lambskin gloss! I am working hard on a review of the Goyard Saigon to share later this month - hope to see you again if that interests you. Take care!

I bought a dupe of this bag after reading a book about Chanel and how she build her company. This is a beautiful bag but try to stay with bags that are cruelty free and don't use animals, thankfully other designer companies do not make them out of lambskin or calf skin, makes me so sad they do that.
Hi Lisa P thank you so much for watching and leaving a kind comment, i really appreciate it! I'll be uploading later this month a review of the Hermes Kelly 25 vs 28 so hopefully see you again if that interests you :) Take care and hope you had a wonderful Easter!
Since fashion is cyclical, it may be just a matter of time :) Although i must say Chanel's sky high retail pricing today and subpar quality wouldn't make it the same...
Hi, so I have nothing with bags but I am here because I was looking for a channel named Call Me Kevin, found this and was curious. I hope you have a nice day!

You're spot on re the small vs medium size - i totally forgot to mention in my video that the small Diana is perfect as an evening bag (argh mummy brain!). Totally agree that 3 years ago the Diana was still affordable - and it's incredible that you bought yours for under 1k!! Clearly you have fabulous style and investment sense :)
Thanks, but I think luck had more to do with it. When I bought my Jumbo in 2013 it seemed like a huge amount of money at the time but now I am really kicking myself that I didn’t buy two. It just never occurred to me that in such a short time the price would more than double.
Great review. I’ve been looking at with and was leaning towards the Diana and your review has just confirmed it. I have noticed many bags claiming to be vintage Diana bags don’t have nice puffy quilting though.
You are so well spoken, smart, and gorgeous. And your bags are amazinggggg.
Hi Leny thank you so much for leaving such a sweet comment and i apologise for the late reply - i have been absolutely swamped with work/life! My november upload got delayed but i am working hard on a review of the Goyard Saigon to share later this month :) Look forward to catching you again if that interests you. Take care!
Literally just purchased a vintage quilted mini flap, I've been trying to decide whether or not it's a good investment and decided to just go with it since we only live once! I can just earn the money back, it was a pretty good deal and I can send it in to get the hardware re-plated. I think this will be the only one I purchase until I'm confident enough to invest in another one, which will probably be a while, but I'm only 21, so I'll just live my best life! XD
The Diana is such a great bag. IMO it has the look of the Boy w/o the annoying boxy /sharp corners and loud straps. I think you'll really enjoy this one.
So true!! I was never seduced by the Boy and i think you've really captured the bag's shortcomings. Yes the Diana is here to stay, that's for sure :) Wishing you a fab week ahead!
The Diana bag is the most beautiful bag that I have ever seen in my life by far.
CMK, I love your detailed videos on luxury handbags and jewelry. And it is so beautiful to hear, how masterfully you describe the the bags..
After watching your videos I immediately go to find such a masterpiece you describe..

Wow love this history lesson. Happy that I have a vintage Chanel too now

Such detailed information on Chanel vintage bags!
I just picked up a 26 year old vintage Diana with the back pocket. Actually the front of that model is different too.
Very detailed and very classy. You could well work with Chanel! A quintessential Chanel woman!
Hi Mark thank you so much for watching and leaving such a kind comment, i really appreciate it! I apologise for the late reply. Later today i'll be uploading my Hermes Birkin 25 vs Kelly 25 detailed comparison - hope to see you again if that interests you :) Take care!
Your Diana is so beautiful. Havent been fortunate to get a good one. Great comparison video and so detailed ❤️
Hi Always Antonette thank you so much for watching and leaving such a kind comment, i really appreciate it! I'm sure it's just a matter of time before you find your perfect Diana - on that note, probably best to wait for the spotlight to pass as the prices are currently crazy but i'm sure there will be a slowdown as the trend shifts to focus on another vintage bag. Wishing you a fab week and hope to catch you again next month if you're interested in learning about the Goyard Saigon top handle :) Take care!
@@cmk7585 thank you and yes Im gonna wait as Im in no rush but Im just on and off looking for one. Thanks dear and have a great week
Amazing as per usual! Thank you for sharing. I have been on the fence with vintage Chanel bags but you’ve definitely validated that I’d like to get one! I also adore the bright yellow of the 24k gold plate! Can’t wait for your next video 🥰
So good to see you! Thank you for taking the time to check out this video and leave a kind comment - also glad to hear you're a fellow fan of the bright yellow GHW :) I'm glad and sad to hear that i've swayed you to the (vintage chanel) dark side - i find the recent price inflation ridiculous! Hopefully you can find your vintage bag for a fair price - then i'm sure you will love it :) Take care and catch you back on IG!
I love the thorough review!
I LOVE a fashion history lesson 😍

I absolutely LOVE this video! ❣️ Thank you so much for all the information, you know my love for Chanel. 😉 Your diana flap in caviar is gorgeous and it's now on my wish list when I visit Japan. 😛 The lambskin to your vintage classic flap is so much better than the lambskin flaps made in the past decade. 👍🏻 Sorry I waited so long to watch. XO
Becky, never ever apologise! If there's one thing i know about mummy life, it's that there's never any free time haha. Can you believe you've been watching my videos for 3 years? REALLY appreciate it and that we have a friendship from across the ocean. Really glad you enjoyed the video as a hardcore Chanel fan :P Always watch at your leisure. Happy new year to you and the family!
@@cmk7585 You are forever sweet and kind. I am a loyal fan to your channel so you can be sure I will keep on watching. You make quality videos that are so informative and so worth the wait. And I'm so happy you said 'friendship' bc I feel the same. If you are ever in NYC I would love to meet up! XO
Aww thank you so much! And of course the same applies when you visit downunder :) I'll be waiting for you in Sydney!

Hi there ! It’s a pleasure to see you on UA-cam again! I really hope your pregnancy went well. I’m there since your Hermès story in PARIS FSH, it was a very helpful video! I’m very happy that you are back, please take care of yourself ! Greetings from france! - LAURA
Hi Laura it's so lovely to hear from you again, thank you for watching this video and taking the time to leave such a kind comment! Yes my pregnancy went well and our son is wonderful, thank you for thinking of us :) Actually on that topic...i just shared on my Instagram that i am accidentally pregnant again haha, so our second (last!) baby is joining us next year June. In 1hr i am uploading a detailed review of the Goyard Saigon, another gorgeous bag/label from your country :) Hope to see you again if that interests you. Merry Christmas to you and your family!
@@cmk7585 Oh m’y god! That’s wonderful news! I’m very happy for you guys! Family is growing then!!! Your videos are very helpful and I’m not used to leave that much comments on UA-cam but your hermès story have helped me a lot to get mine! I can only wish you to have a pregnancy the way you wish! I will for sure check your video! Take care of yourself xoxo
Laura
Thank you so much Laura :) And congratulations on your FSH birkin!!
You are in such fantastic shape! What a gorgeous mom, wow!!

Love your video! I do not see in the description the location pr details of the clip you used to shorten the chain on the Diana bag. Can you please comment or send the link or details on that clip please? Thank you!!
What an informative review thank you! This is super helpful
Great informative video as always! 👍 I have the medium Diana in black lambskin with the back pocket. I love the spacious back pocket which fits my iPhone XR easily, and I can fit so much in this bag - the same amount as a regular Coach Cassie, and yet it’s still relatively lightweight, which I attribute to the lambskin. I also love the longer strap which is perfect length for me as a crossbody. The only negative thing about the bag is that the lambskin does scratch easily, which prevents me from using it as an everyday bag. Yes you can buff out the minor scuffs easily, but it’s a nuisance to do this every day. Am contemplating a medium classic flap in caviar skin & silver hardware for my next purchase but refraining from pulling the trigger because this model contains three of my handbag deal breakers - short strap which looks awkward as crossbody, a near useless back pocket which can’t fit a mobile phone, and the second inner flap which annoys me to use on a daily basis (experienced from my Reissue 225). Still, I can’t stop thinking about the medium classic flap in caviar skin & silver hardware, especially with the gorgeous burgundy interior & lipstick pocket, and feel that my Chanel collection won’t be complete without a classic flap with burgundy interior. Against my own logic and better judgement, I know I’ll continue to obsess about this bag until I’ve saved enough money to finally cave in and buy it 🤯🏳 🤷🏻♀️🤪
Hi Jamel Sydney so good to hear from you! Wow you're one of the lucky few with the rare Diana size with the back pocket and you've raised such a good point re external pockets (ideally) fitting mobile phones. Wise call holding off on the classic flap for its shortcomings...but yes i agree, somehow our heart always wins over our head in these situations! I love Coach too - my most used & abused bag for daily mummy life is a nameless Coach crossbody. Wishing you a fab week and hope to catch you again next month if you're interested in learning about the Goyard Saigon top handle :) Take care!
I just purchased the vintage medium diana with the back pocket (brown lambskin with GHW) which prompted me to watch this vidoe. I'm glad you found the pocket useful. I haven't seen much with the outer pocket and happy to know that is a rarer find.
This is the best review i've seen on these bags. Keep it up! Subscribing!
Hi Maria Daniel thank you so much for watching and leaving a kind comment, i really appreciate it! Later this month i'll be reviewing my birkin 25 vs kelly 25, hope Hermes is of interest to you :) Take care!

I love chanel! This was a great review 🤗😍 i just got my first double flap, but definitely would love to add diana, some day too 😍 love this history and facts you shared ❤️❤️
So good to see you Chaks! Thank you for checking out this video and welcome to the Classics family :) Wishing you a fab week and catch you back on IG!
This was a fantastic video!! As always I learn so much! Still trying to decide on size for the Diana but for me its price & condition that probably will determine my ultimate choice. Must say you are looking so fit! Stay safe 🙋♀️😘
So good to see you birdiebirk and as always, thank you for taking the time to check out my video and leave such kind feedback! It's always refreshing to see a collector wisely making the right decision when they're ready :) Keen to see what you decide in the end re size - i totally forgot to mention it in this video but Small Diana is great as an evening bag! Wishing you a fab week and catch you back on IG
Hy
Where did you by the accesory to shorten the diana ´s chain please thank you
Wow Thank you so much for the information! Truly informative and so much history! Excellent video ❤️
Hi Chex thank you so much for watching and leaving a kind comment, i really appreciate it! Hope to catch you again next month for the Goyard Saigon top handle if that interests you. Take care!
Hi there! Absolutely love love love your videos (wish I have stumbled upon your channel earlier). I want to quickly check how much did your white diana cost? Looking to buy one myself but all the ones I've seen so far are ridiculously priced :(((
You got the only Chanel bag that tempts me: the Diana vintage bag! Same for the Lady Dior. I wonder why 😉 Btw you look RADIANT! What are you doing for skincare / workout? Dish it!
Spoken like a true princess :) You have excellent taste! And thank you for the compliment, i was surprised how flattering this video turned out! TBH i'm beyond boring - i moisturise with QV cream post shower, never wear makeup and i weaned myself off shampoo/conditioner after my baby was born. So i just wash my hair with hot water. Somehow the lack of chemicals has allowed my hair to be more voluminous/wavy which was a nice surprise
As always , very informative detailed video ❤️ . Thanks so much .

This video is so interesting and informative! I appreciated this a lot. Would you by any chance if both Diana and classic flap fit a 500ml water bottle…?
Gracias so much for the video! Really helpful and informative! :)
Such a great and informative video on vintage flaps and CC history! Love your video! Just subbed! Ps. Gorgeous vintage Chanel collection! I have the Diana flap in lamb and love ❤️ it cuz it’s so light weight as compared to the classic double flaps. I’m still looking to add a Diana flap in caviar.
Hey Mrs W it's great to see you here :) Thank you so much for taking the time to check out my video and leave such a kind comment, i really appreciate it! I just subbed to your channel. You have such an amazing Chanel collection, a caviar Diana would be the cherry on top! Looking forward to when you find your perfect one :)
@@cmk7585 Thank you so much! Let's stay connected my friend! :)
Were you ever debating whether you would get the small or medium size diana before making the purchase?
Is the gold slightly darker on the Diana vs the Classic Flap? Or are they the same, just look different because of the color of leathers?
Thank you this was really informative
You are amazing with your word choices
Hi Mon-Mon thank you so much for watching and leaving such a kind comment, i really appreciate it! I am currently working on some Hermes bag reviews but will focus on Chanel again soon :) Hope you had a wonderful Easter and look forward to catching you again
Very informative, thank you!
Hihi.. dou regret purchase diana bag? How's the leather holding up so far
What websites do you use to buy second hand Chanel bags?
May I know where can I find good Chanel vintage bags from Japan?
Beautiful bags😍Excellent review dear❤
Thank you so much Pearl for checking this out and leaving such a kind comment! I just caught up on your IG and your mini trendy is beyond adorable. Wishing you a fab week :)
Wow, your Classic flap is still so puffy! Mine is older, and has flatten.
Hi Unni T thank you so much for watching and i apologise for the late reply - i have been absolutely swamped with work/life! Yes when i was shopping for my vintage classic flap i was searching for a while to find one that was still puffy on the front - it has flattened in the back but i think that's good enough considering the age :) Either way, flat or puffy, it's a beautiful bag with that striking lambskin gloss! I am working hard on a review of the Goyard Saigon to share later this month - hope to see you again if that interests you. Take care!
I think last series issued with 24k gold plating is Series 12…
Keep up the great videos!
Thanks fry888chip, you're the sweetest! :) Looking forward to seeing you, Yang and bump this sunday!
Wow this video was amazing 😍😍😍

I bought a dupe of this bag after reading a book about Chanel and how she build her company. This is a beautiful bag but try to stay with bags that are cruelty free and don't use animals, thankfully other designer companies do not make them out of lambskin or calf skin, makes me so sad they do that.
So informative!
Hi Lisa P thank you so much for watching and leaving a kind comment, i really appreciate it! I'll be uploading later this month a review of the Hermes Kelly 25 vs 28 so hopefully see you again if that interests you :) Take care and hope you had a wonderful Easter!
The Diana is more classy and simple. I wish they would bring it back.
Since fashion is cyclical, it may be just a matter of time :) Although i must say Chanel's sky high retail pricing today and subpar quality wouldn't make it the same...
Hi, so I have nothing with bags but I am here because I was looking for a channel named Call Me Kevin, found this and was curious.
I hope you have a nice day!
Hi Johan thanks for stopping by! Merry Christmas :)
