I'm so glad it was helpful! Honestly I love the bag so much. Some people collect classic flaps but, unpopular opinion, I don't find a medium functional for daily use. The coco handle is the style I could buy in multiple colors and never get tired of. It is just such a good bag I can use daily 😍
Can you include the measurements of both of you have time . I love the smaller size and I may have to get pre loved but on those sites I don’t know if it mini or small and it’s hard to find anything on the Chanel Website . Please help ❤
It’s called the mini because when the coco handle first came out that size was called mini. A few years later they made the extra mini and switched the names of the sizes
Thank you for this … I just got the small … I think it will be perfect for me as I am 5’0 … this was very informative and made me feel good about my purchase as you explained the value of the coco handle … win win! Thank you❤️
There are 4 sizes of this bag large, medium, small and mini so saying the medium/small has 8 across is still confusing because there is a small and there is a medium. The medium has the inner middle zip pocket and the small has a slip middle pocket is the best way to determine which is which
After my heart bag fiasco and my own complaints with chanel quality, I watched this video and went straight to Fashionphile and ordered a yellow 💛 small/mini coco 🫣 I’m really happy to find your channel I’m loving it 🥰
Thank you 💕 So happy to have you here! Congrats on your new bag!!! You will love using it. Even though the price is higher now, I still think it’s worth it compared to the classic flap. The coco handle is so addictive once you fall in love with it 💗
I like the size of medium just because I feel like it’s a perfect on the go bag for travel I feel like it’s a bag I can go for formal to casual attire.
SOOOO HELPFUL!! LOVEEEE THIS! Quick question~Do you pretreat your pink bags with carbon pro!? 💓🥰💓 if not~ have you had any issues with using the lighter colored bags with color transference or scratches? 😻
Really good review of these bags! Thank you for making this. I’m a bit worried about the structure caving on the medium. Do you think that could potentially happen based on your use of it so far?
Thank you 💕 I think if you don’t store and care for it properly it can get bad. I linked a base shaper that helps preserve the shape a lot and prevent sagging. This bag is made to settle some over time so some light sagging is inevitable. I think my coco handles still look great though and I would still buy more 💗
Hi! Thank you for great video! I'm about to buy my first Coco handle. I'm debating between light pink small Coco handle with rutheneum hardware or navy blue medium with light gold hardware. The only thing I was wondering about the medium size is the handle being so rigid, will it dig into my arm and make it hurt when I carry it by the crouch of my arm whole day? Do you recommend medium sized if I carry handbags only by crouch of my arm? Thank you!
Hi! I’m so glad the video is helpful. It really depends on how much you put in the bag if it will dig in and be uncomfortable. I don’t find mine to be an issue more than any other leather bag this size, but I do switch up how I’m wearing it because occasionally I need to be hands free and use the shoulder strap. I love the bag and have 3 in the medium size now so it is a style I highly recommend. A twilly wrapped on the handle helps it be a bit more comfortable wearing it on the arm as well x
Hi Morgan! Your videos are always super helpful! Your coco handles are so pretty! 😍😍😍. I just got my first coco handle in the 29 cm medium size in light pink and I was wondering how u store them? I heard that some people store them laying flat to prevent corner wear. What do u do? And also is it better to store them in the box or just in the dust bag?
Hey! Sorry I missed your comment. I store mine upright but I use a base insert and I stuff mine with spare dust bags to help prevent sagging. I don’t mind it sagging some though. It will happen over time and is just part of the style of this bag. You could try storing it on its side, though I haven’t tried it myself so I can’t say if it works over time. I never store in the box because the leather needs to have access to air. You can check out my handbag organization video to see how I store my bags 💕
Love your videos! Curious why you went with a base shaper for the coco handle vs. a Samorga organizer? I personally feel the full organizer isn’t really necessary since it doesn’t need the organization, but would love to know what you think! 🖤
Thank you! I went for the base shaper to reinforce the corners. In my newer leather lined coco handles, I would also add a thin organizer to protect the leather inside. Not for organizing though. Just as a barrier between my items and the leather
Do you feel a Samorga organizer would reinforce the bottom/corners as much as a base shaper though? I’m mostly just concerned about preventing any sagging. Also, do your coco handles still stand up right without tilting forward? Thank you!!
@@MeganGordon-ur5uu yes they still stand. No it doesn’t reinforce the bottom. I would suggest using both a base shaper and the thinnest organizer. Sorry if that wasn’t clear before
I am traveling and I don’t have the bag with me. If you see when I show the inside, pause the video, and check on the website if the pockets look the same. That is how you can tell the size. It is medium by the store sizing but many people online call it small. There are 4 store sizes mini, small, medium, large. If the website uses the term extra mini then the other sizes will be one size name smaller from the store sizes meaning extra mini, mini, small, medium
Hi Thanks for sharing. Can i know the weight for these two? If you have a weight to weight them. I am petite and weight does matters to me too. As much as bigger size is also good for me but if i am out and about, it may bother me too. Not into heavy bags.
I don't know the weight of the bags, but I would say go for the small if you want a lighter bag. Once you get to any medium size with this much leather it will have some decent weight to it. A Louis Vuitton canvas might be better if you are very concerned about weight
Hi, I love both sizes but I am 5’3”. Which one you recommend? I don’t carry a lot of stuff just the essentials, I coach card holder and a very small 5 inches pouch and a 6 keys coach holder and my little pill case and sunglasses. I want a channel for my birthday so I can decide. Help me please! Thanks
Hey, if you can go in and try them on in store I think that would be the best option. The small sounds like the best option for you for your height but I’m not 100% sure if the items you carry will fit comfortably in the small
Hi, I really love the the medium coco handle in black, but I'm a little confused as to whether it is even possible to buy them in a boutique anymore? From what I understood, it's not one of the classic bags they have in stores all the time, so do I have to wait and hope they bring back the black as part of a seasonal collection? Any help would be appreciated, it would be my first Chanel bag so I'm a little unsure of the process :)
Hi, yes this is correct. They usually do a black coco handle at least once a year as a seasonal collection though. You just have to wait for one or buy preloved x
@@MorganBrittButler thank you for the info, I'm keeping my eye on Vestiaire, but I would hate to buy it for a premium if there's a chance to get a new one (cheaper) directly from Chanel!
@@MorganBrittButler Actually, one more question! Is there such thing as a waitlist for bags that are not for sure upcoming in the next seasonal collections? Like can I go to an SA and say I want to buy this black Coco Handle, let me know if it ever becomes available, even if that may theoretically never be? Or is this only done for bags of collections you already know will be released in the future?
@@LisaWidmeyer yes and no. If you already have an SA and you have bought before, you can tell them ahead of time. Some will take your name down if you aren’t a current client but in my experience I’ve never been called by these SAs. You could try in your local boutique and see how it goes but it depends on how competitive your city is for bags and how they do things at that location
@@LisaWidmeyer I would suggest you stay away from Vestiaire because they are individual sellers. I recommend fashionphile. You can get a black one around retail now
Before the mini comes out, the small was referred as medium 😠 Chanel size chart is so confusing. This design looks so ugly in Large size, I don't understand Chanel sees nothing about it!
Wow wow wow sooo happy I came across your video Morgan & thank youuu❣️ Your bags are so fire by way ❤️🔥first time seeing the coco handle in pink (pink is one of my favorite colors)🎀 I am currently looking for a coco handle in black for my upcoming 30th birthday (September) & the advisor in Chicago, simply told me they were sold out everywhere & tried to talk me into buying a classic. But, I just didn't get that butterfly effect like "I have to have this" feeling you know?? I'm kind of tired of crossbodys & really love top handles. I’m all about luxury, but getting a bang for my buck! So thank you for all the info! Very informative I'm subscribing Sis💕 Now, did you randomly check while visiting other countries or did you specifically travel to those places knowing they had the bags you wanted? Because I am passport ready lbs
I'm so so happy you found this helpful! I don't think you can go wrong with a coco handle 💕 Pink is coming in the new collection 21k so get on the list with your SA now! I never travel specifically for a bag. Pre rona, I just used to travel a lot and shopping duty free was the best price so I always tried to do that. I've been lucky and unlucky when searching for bags when traveling so its best to be more open than have a set list x
@@MorganBrittButler omg thank you so much I was able to get a black coco handle in chevron & I would of got the small but bc of your advice I got the medium 🥳👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I’ve been wanting to add a Coco Handle to my collection but I’ve always been hesitant, but this video has made me realise that I NEED one!!
I'm so glad it was helpful! Honestly I love the bag so much. Some people collect classic flaps but, unpopular opinion, I don't find a medium functional for daily use. The coco handle is the style I could buy in multiple colors and never get tired of. It is just such a good bag I can use daily 😍
Do you feel heavy after put everything in?
Thank you for this video, truly the best I’ve seen in regards to comparison of the two sizes!
I’m so happy you found it helpful! Thank you for watching 💗
Can you include the measurements of both of you have time . I love the smaller size and I may have to get pre loved but on those sites I don’t know if it mini or small and it’s hard to find anything on the Chanel
Website . Please help ❤
So thorough, thank you! Chanel should be paying you, this is invaluable!
I will take it cash, card, or coco handles 😉 so glad it was helpful 💕
It’s called the mini because when the coco handle first came out that size was called mini. A few years later they made the extra mini and switched the names of the sizes
I was thinking the same thing. It’s mini definitely
Fantastic comparison! I am looking into getting this in the navy. Now I know I want the medium!
I'm so glad the comparison helped you decided on the size 🥰 the navy is such a beautiful and timeless color 💙
Finally, the comparison that ive been looking/waiting for!!! Thank you for the great content! 💗
You’re welcome 💗 I’m so glad it was helpful 🥰
Wow! Such a great idea of using pearl extender!
Thank you for this … I just got the small … I think it will be perfect for me as I am 5’0 … this was very informative and made me feel good about my purchase as you explained the value of the coco handle … win win! Thank you❤️
Congrats on your new bag 🎉 a small is a great size for your height 💕
Thanks for sharing, I am trying to decide between the 2 sizes…. I am leaning more towards the medium 💕
Most welcome 💕 I definitely favor my mediums over my smalls. The medium is just so practical for daily use 🥰
A good way to tell is to count the quilts. The medium/ small has 8 the smaller one has 6 across the front
There are 4 sizes of this bag large, medium, small and mini so saying the medium/small has 8 across is still confusing because there is a small and there is a medium. The medium has the inner middle zip pocket and the small has a slip middle pocket is the best way to determine which is which
Great video. Very helpful esp. the crossbody mod shots. And thank you for mentioning your height, etc. Perspective.
Love your pink cos handles. I think ii like the Barbie pink you showed in another video most:)
She's my favourite at the moment too but don't tell the others 😉
After my heart bag fiasco and my own complaints with chanel quality, I watched this video and went straight to Fashionphile and ordered a yellow 💛 small/mini coco 🫣 I’m really happy to find your channel I’m loving it 🥰

OMG! This is the first video that it’s really informative! Thanks for your video ❤
I’m so happy you found it helpful 😊
Thanks for this video! Could you please post the length of the bottom part of the medium bag? 🙏
Im so excited i found your videos!!! Love them!!! I just got the mid green one.. now i want a pink one like yours!!!!
I paid $5500 2 weeks ago
For my top handle and i thought i got a steel on it.
Thank you 💕 So happy to have you here! Congrats on your new bag!!! You will love using it. Even though the price is higher now, I still think it’s worth it compared to the classic flap. The coco handle is so addictive once you fall in love with it 💗
You can count the number of diamonds to know which one is extra mini that does not fit a phone, there are only 4 diamonds across vs. 6
Fabulous video and exactly what I was looking for to make a purchase decision! 💕
I’m so glad it helped 😊
I like the size of medium just because I feel like it’s a perfect on the go bag for travel I feel like it’s a bag I can go for formal to casual attire.
I agree. The medium offers more versatility for sure
This is a very helpful comparison review, thank you!

Hello Morgan i been waiting for this video from you thanks for sharing babe 1st here supporting your channel
I'm so glad I could upload something you have been looking forward to 💗
@@MorganBrittButler definitely medium is the one I want I have a few mini bags like Alma bb , PA etc so I need this one
I prefer the medium as well. It is really functional and there really isn't much difference in price between the sizes
I love the small sizes
They have such a cute look 🥰
Do you use a liner at all? Looking for an option for my medium top handle
@@TabathaCronander yes I use a base shaper from Etsy and an organizer from samorga
This is so helpful. Great job

The small is cute
I love a tiny bag moment 🥰

What's the etsy shop?
just linked it. thank you for reminding me 💕
