CHANEL Classic Flap Vs Reissue Bag Comparison | What fits inside and Worn Side by Side

Hi Everyone! Today's video is a requested comparison video.
I compare my Chanel Classic Flap M/L to the Reissue Bag Small (225). I explain sizing (Chanel does not use the terms 225, 226 etc), compared to the classic flaps. I will also show what fits inside both bags and what they look like worn side by side. I hope this helps those of you considering either bag. Enjoy! xx Mel

For me, the Chanel Reissue is to the Classic Flap, what the LV Damier is to the Monogram Canvas = Understated. Because it's not screaming "look at me I'm Chanel" it could easily be mistaken for an "inspired" bag... only those in the know will realize it's an authentic model. And I love that. 👛 xx Thank you for this very detailed video -- well done!

you have the best bag reviews on youtube!

Great review Mel! This is the second time I've watched your video. I originally thought I was a classic flap girl, but when I got my M/L, I was afraid to carry it! When I purchased my Reissue, I couldn't put it down! I've come to the conclusion that I'm a Reissue girl 100%. I love to look at the Classic Flap, but I love to wear the Reissue.

HEY LYXBAG !! I have been watching you for years and im so proud of where you have made it! I love you so much! Also thanks for making my day.

A very helpful, extensive and thorough comparison of 2 iconic Chanel bags (shot in a beautiful setting as well)! Thank you for making this.

[cameliaonthefloor]

Mel, this was by far the best bag comparison I gave watched on YouTube! Plus, you look so chic!

[captmara]

This video is professional, helpful, and just all around amazing!

[helenaha]

You are awesome. After watching this video I bought the exactly reissue bag you showed on the video with size 226, one size bigger than yours. I found it's the best Chanel bag I ever have. The style, the color and the aged calfskin all in one is so special . Thank you so much to let me find this beauty. I!m just very happy with it😊😊

best comparison I have seen on YouTube :) I have a cf already but you make me wanna own a reissue in future! ( never thought of that before seeing your gorgeous 255 bag. The color hdw and size just perfect !!)

[benbannan]

The reissue looks so chic! You make some of the best handbag videos on YouTube Mel!

[chelanne]

This is such a detailed and helpful video Mel. I don’t find videos of reissue in size 225 here in youtube. Glad you did this. Will buy reissue 225 and i will make a video about it too.

OMG. Your knowledge of Chanel handbags is amazing. Love your videos. Greetings from Sydney.

Lovely video, very informative! I especially love your chevron reissue! I just purchased the same bag in black in the 226 size (unboxing on my channel). Absolutely loving this bag! Its good to see how it compares to the classic flap. I will likely do a comparison of the 226 to the boy, as those seem to be similar in size too.

The pink is probably the best eye candy I have seen !!!! Drooling

[ThePixievamp]

The pink one is gorgeous! The first I have seen in the classic flap. I absolutely love everything about that bag. The color just for me makes the bag. I like it more than the classic black. They are all lovely though.

[jessiema]

Very educational. Considering to buy a reissue, and it s very tricky to get the size right, but ur video clarifies very things! Best comparison!

[epiphanyloa]

Finally I've found someone who explained the differences between the reissue and classic! Thanks for the lesson :)

[heartsmelody]

The 2.55 Reissue is designed to fold flat so it can be easily packed in luggage.
