Great video. I have the extra mini (like belt type strap) in this version and I love it. It’s so delicate looking but still robust. Thanks for the vid. 🫶
Love this video!!! Makes me feel lucky hahaha I purchased the emerald green mini 2.55 with shinny gold hardware from the 19A collection! I wish I had a double flap 2.55! You’re videos are super informative
I have been going back and forth on the 2.55. Somehow other bags make it into my shopping cart before the 2.55. But now I’m ready to pull the trigger. For some reason the light colored ones with shiny gold hw are the ones I gravitate towards. Thank you again. This really helped me appreciate the 2.55 series. Love your videos always!! Please keep sharing the Chanel heritage with us always. 😘🥰
I enjoy your videos sooooo much, you are so informative. I share your love for Coco and her history, that I am going on the pre loved market to get my 2.55!!
Thank you for another intelligent review. I have a pink mini reissue on hold from my visit today at the Chanel boutique and after listening to your review will make the purchase tomorrow. Yes I agree Chanel are out pricing themselves, however I am weak! I already have a beige in the mini reissue and enjoy it immensely.
Thank you for another great video. I am very persuaded that the mini 2.55 in black is likely to be my next Chanel purchase. I just don’t know whether I desire the gold chain hardware. I could accept the gold though. Ruthenium hardware exists on the emerald green and blue one, which I saw in the Chanel shop recently. I had a black 2.55 in medium /large (bought in 2017) with ruthenium for a number of years until I stopped using it. I got tired of the size which I came to feel was too big. I could look again at a 2.55 in the mini size, since it will be lighter to carry. It is beautiful bag. Proportions are nice. Some say the 2.55 is more understated because it does not have the double cc clasp. Not sure that is so understated and discrete to me rather it seems a mysterious bag with the mademoiselle turn lock. The crease/fold at the bottom is something I wish someone had explained to me earlier. Initially I thought my 2.55 medium bag was damaged and now I know this is another one of its design features. I have learnt a lot about Chanel bags as I have bought them and used them.
Super Dacob ♥️ Guess What Happened Yesterday I Got My 2.55 Mini Like Yours Thank You For This Amazing Review I Was Able To Shop With Wisdom… Thank You Handsome♥️Face… 😘
Love this cute mini bag. Will the fold at bottom over time creat crease in leather?Would you recommend a bottom shaper to keep the bottom flat? Will the fold at bottom over time creat crease in leather?
Thank you dear. I personally love the fold at the bottom and wish to preserve it but if you fill the bag often and carry it a lot, the fold will automatically flatten out on its own with time because the distressed calfskin leather is very soft.
I wish I could get a reissue with champagne gold and non-aged leather, I absolutely love the mademoiselle lock and chain, but the aged look just isn’t me
Then maybe consider hunting down a vintage 2.55 from the sixties. They made several versions of the 2.55 back then, with different chains and leathers. Xoxo
I love when you say you can wear this bag as a necklace then you look today at all the designers using bags as necklaces trust me people they watch TH-cam videos to get ideas they just stole his 27:26
My aged gold hardware of the reissue is showing some silver shade already but i like it... it gives it a more vintage look like a character. Dont know if it’s normal.
Excellent review! I have recently become a fan of yours and your reviews are amazing. (So is your hair. I like every version I've seen so far!) I have a question about the mini. Did they originally come without the love letter zip and double flap? I've seen preloved mini's with these features. I'm curious if the design changed or if there is something off with the listings. Thanks!
Thanks. kathie. The mini 2.55? It was first released in 2019 and I review that version in this video. It was always made with a single flap and without a zip. There used to be a 2.55 reissue SMALL, which had the double flap and zip pocket.
@@SuperDacob so this is probably a 244, and the mini is different. I didn’t realize the mini was only from 2019. It will be a long while before it hits the preloved market. Thanks!
This bag is amazing. It’s my everyday bag now and I’m happy to bring it out with me everyday to work. Mine is the black leather with ruthenium hw because I cannot find the black hw. Do you know if this is still available? I mean the mini so black with the black hw in the diamonds quilts like yours, not the chevron. I live in Paris and the SA said there’s no one available in Europe, even though it is still on the Chanel website! So I ended up getting the ruthenium hw which I also love. Maybe another question please, do you have an idea on the leather of the 2.55 serie 12 made in the year 2008/2009? I saw one preloved but the leather looks just so soft and glazed not like the usual look of the aged calfskin. Can it be lambskin? Thanks so much for your reply. I just subscribed to your channel.
Hi Dacob, I hate you lol jk. Before I watched your videos I didn’t even care if my Chanel bags were made in France or made in Italy. After I watched your videos, I checked my flap mini and it was made in Italy and now I look at it differently 😂 then today I purchased a 2.55 reissue. They had 2 in stock, one was made in France and the other one was made in Italy. Having watched your videos I was aiming the one made in France of course. After examining the details however, I found the one made in Italy was newer and in better conditions than the one made in France (this one was produced in 2019 and has been on the shelf so it looked older). I went with the one made in Italy at the end but wondering if I should have chosen the one made in France. So I want to ask you, besides sentimental reasons, do you actually see quality differences in made in Italy and made in France?
I did not know chanel charges more for different hardwares. Like why...? That's so tacky. I don't know about any other brand doing that. Even Hermès ,who creates HW plates in real precio materials charges more. Their rose gold HW is very rare, and "resales" for a premium on the second hand market, but they don't charge more. If you do a made to order bag, you pay the price from when you made the order, not the price after a price increase.
I am thinking about having 2.55 either mini or rectangular. Not sure if I should go for seasonal colours or so black. I have a lot of black bags (of course 😉, including chanel classic in GHW). I would be interested in your opinion on "so black" 😊 Ps. I normally don't really leave comments. You are one of a few. Xoxo 😘
Thank you Girl L. I am personally not a fan of the so black hardware aesthetically and also there is no reason for them to ask for more money for the so black hardware as opposed to other colored hardware. So I do not like it for me.
I remember rushing out to buy this when I watched your unboxing back in Jun 2019 and I’m still loving mine year and a half later. ❤️👍🏻
So glad you got one too! This one is a keeper!
@@SuperDacob definitely a forever piece!
Thank you for this very informative review of the 2.55 mini. I love how you educate your viewers on the history and make of the bag.
Thank you Malu! I am happy you enjoyed my video!
Great video. I have the extra mini (like belt type strap) in this version and I love it. It’s so delicate looking but still robust. Thanks for the vid. 🫶
Gorgeous bag! And great video. I love my mini reissue so much :)

Thank you Jessiestyle! And congratulations on the emerald green mini! That color is TO DIE FOR!
@@SuperDacob aww thanks Dacob!!! Cute emoji!!!!
thanks for making a thorough review, it helps me a lot while making the decision in buying the bag
Your knowledge of Chanel is mind blowing.

Thank you Malibu Karina
This would be my dream bag if they did it with palladium hardware....it is still stunning in Gold. That chain....WOW!
They did have it with ruthenium hardware and i am sure it will come again. I don't think CHANEL does palladium hardware though...
Ditto 360! Perfect evening crossbody man bag for me in a suit 😍
The 2.55 is my next dream bag! I love your mini and have been on the hunt for a while to get a black one with any type of gold hardware. Great video 😀
Thank you Keeg J! Happy hunting! These bags are always worth the hunt! They are little treasures :)
I'm glad I've found your channel, Jacob! ⭐I wonder what languages you speak 🙂

Thank you Sandy! The mini 2.55 is a great little bag that will go down in CHANEL history as one of the best evolutions of the 2.55 design.
Hi Dacob and friends! What are your thoughts for a white mini Reissue with chevron pattern lambskin? I can't decide between chevron or quilt.
With the fold, is there any significance to the way the stitching by Chanel that the diamond meet up with planned symmetry?
Excellent review! I have recently become a fan of yours and your reviews are amazing. (So is your hair. I like every version I've seen so far!) I have a question about the mini.

Some 2019 2.55 minis are already hitting second hand but usually cost more than retail.
I have an opportunity to buy a mini red reissue series 28 or should I purchase one in the boutique today?
Is the serial number listed on the bag?
Love this bag
make me dream this object every night after watched your review. so details
I so sad that I have this in age hardware 😔 in the first that u use I already gone the mark on it
Do you know what year the stopped the 244? X
Last time I saw a 224 was around 2016/17 but the bag might have been from 2015...

So funny. I was looking for the ruthenium and couldn’t find that - but I found the black with black and got that instead haha.
@@dearmatt lol we can try to swap
@@amilyp1790 I wanna see what it looks like 🥲🥲
@@dearmatt love your unboxing video. I've already subscribed and followed you on IG
@@amilyp1790 do you have pictures on yours! Or a video?

@@SuperDacob Thank you very much for your answer (❤ big love). I totally agree on "pay more" for so black hardware, it is around 300 🤑🤑🤑 more.
I dont know the price for the bag...i love luxury but this bag looks 30 bucks.
So Nice 💘💘💘💘💘💘
Thank you Samir!
