A Chanel Classic Flap Bag is an incredible investment, one that we’re sure you will love for years to come, or one that you can store away with the intention of selling for profit in a few years’ time. But a question we’re often asked – what size do you go for?!

We recommend choosing a size that works best with your lifestyle and personal stye. There’s no point spending more on a Maxi Flap if a Mini suits your style better! Plus, these classic styles will always be in demand especially on the resale market – so none of them are a bad investment.
Things to note:
Vintage sizes will differ, as the dimensions have slightly changed throughout the years. The newer styles are typically more rounded, and the vintage styles are squarer.
Caviar leather vs lambskin leather: Whether you choose caviar or lambskin leather really is down to personal preference, however, caviar skin will generally wear better than lambskin. So, if this is a bag you’ll be using regularly, we recommend caviar as a safer choice. However, lambskin tends to hold colour better on the brighter bags!
