Chanel | Classic Flap Bag: Review

Disclaimer: The product featured was purchased by me.

Not long after I bought my first luxury bag (the YSL Niki, reviewed here) back in 2018, I started eyeing the Chanel Classic Flap. Adapted from Coco Chanel's 2.55 flap bag by Karl Lagerfeld in 1984, the Classic Flap is arguably one of the most iconic luxury bags in fashion history. Due to limited supply and brand prestige, the price of the Classic Flap has risen astronomically over the years and for that reason, it took me a long time before finally biting the bullet. I watched a lot of videos, read a ton of reviews, and perused countless forum discussions prior to my purchase and believe me, there are already a plethora of information about this bag online. However, because I enjoy writing bag reviews and because I spend a good chunk of money on this baby, I wanted to share my thoughts and tips with anyone who's thinking of making a purchase.

I was debating for a long time on the Prada Cahier Shoulder Bag in the soft leather design but since it felt too similar to the YSL Niki, I decided against it. After which, I started eyeing the classic Chanel Medium Flap Bag but due to its ridiculous price tag (almost C$8000 after tax), I decided to look for another style. I then chased after the Chanel Trendy CC Wallet on Chain in the black chevron design but unfortunately, none are available as the style is not in season. However, just when I thought my wallet was going to get a break, I spotted the Dior Lady Dior in stores. I had previously tried the medium on for size but found it too boxy and clunky so I didn't give it a second thought. That is until I tried on the Mini Lady Dior (C$4000, price as of April 2019)......

Most of the time, when I set my eyes on something expensive, I can usually talk myself out of it. Unfortunately, when I spotted the Niki Baby Bag in Black Vintage Leather (C$2440, as of October 2018) from Yves Saint Laurent about a month ago, I could not get it off my mind. No matter how I tried to rationalize, it was about time that I treated myself with a luxury bag. I mean, I totally deserve it... right? Well anyhow, after extensive research online, I finally pulled the trigger. Since it's such a hefty investment, I thought it was worth reviewing it on the site. So if luxury bags are your thing (or if you are just curious how a bag can cost so much), read on to learn more.......
