Crafted from vintage Beige caviar leather and complimented by gold-tone hardware, this rare Mini Classic Flap is definitely hard to get your hands on.

The perfect accessory for basically anything, this Chanel gem is the ideal compliment to any outfit for any occasion.

Whatever you wear her with, this timeless baby is the ideal companion to have right by your side.

A bag youll wear and love forever, the Classic Flap is a piece that will never go out of style.

However, at this point, my classic handbag lineup is pretty much complete with pieces from Bottega Veneta, Givenchy, Gucci, Saint Laurent, and others.

In general, I get asked a lot of questions about my designer bag collection, but Chanel often sparks so much interest because the bags are much pricer and harder to get a hold of when compared to other popular designer brands.

Not only that but the Chanel Classic Flap bag has been around forever, making it one of the few tried-and-true classics that remains as popular as ever.

This bag also retains its value incredibly well often increasing in price every year.

Its no surprise that so many of you are interested in this bag.

Most of you know that I also have a pre-owned Chanel Classic Flap Bag in black, which Phil bought for me as a wedding gift years ago.

However, todays review will be specifically about my new red flap.

This bag is one of Chanels most popular pieces because of its simplistic, feminine design and because its available in various materials, colors, sizes, and hardware combinations.

There are two variations of the Classic Flap: the double or single flap.

Chanel no longer produces the single, but you can still purchase pre-owned styles through consignment shops.

Personally, I prefer the double flap because I like the added protection of the interior flap, which closes off the interior.

This bag comes with a versatile leather strap chain, which can be shortened to wear over the shoulder or lengthened for a longer drop (seen above).

I ended up going with the medium size, which measures 6 in x 10 in x 2.5 in.

I like that its not too big or too small, making it a versatile pick for any occasion, including evening events.

Its also roomy enough for all your daily essentials, including a phone, wallet, toiletries, small notepad, and keys.

The Chanel Classic Flap bag also comes in mini, small, jumbo, and maxi sizes, but I didnt feel that I would get as much use out of them.

Some people prefer the caviar leather because its so durable and can handle more wear and tear.

The leather is pebbled and maintains its structure well because of the rigid nature.

However, Ive never had any issues with my first Chanel flap bag.

I feel that lambskin looks and feels more luxurious than caviar as it has a slight gloss to it.

As long as you properly care for your bag, I dont think youll have an issue with lambskin.

I always recommend storing the bag in the dust bag with the chains tucked inside when youre not using it.

You really cant go wrong with any of them, but Im partial towards gold and champagne.

Theres just something about gold tones that feels instantly luxe and makes an outfit look so expensive.

My red Chanel flap comes with the champagne-colored hardware, which I love because its so easy to wear with gold or silver jewelry and accessories.

If thats important to you, then buying a vintage bag is something to consider.
