All about my Vintage CHANEL Classic Flap: Review, WHAT FITS and HOW TO GET ONE

- I've wanted this bag for more than a decade, and finally (I cant believe it) I HAVE IT! I've decided to go the vintage route in order to get this bag, and thankfully I found the perfect one in Fashionphile. It didn't come easy--it took me three tries before I got the exact one I was looking for.
For this vlog I shared my Chanel story: how long I wanted it, where I bought the bag, the blunders I've made when purchasing it, and my honest review. This includes WHAT'S IN MY BAG, modeling shots, and full description of the bag.

This made me laugh because I could relate. I think it was in 2006 when I started pining for a Chanel flap and like you, I was blown away by the price and couldn’t justify it. It was about $1500 at the time, if memory serves me right. Wages haven’t really gone up so had I known a Chanel flap would set me back about $4k now, I would’ve just jumped the gun back then. Love your bag!
Right?!! I think all girls who obsess about Chanel can relate! 😭😭😭 It’s just so painful to bite the bullet but it’s always better to purchase it now than later, Idontwanna Say ❤️
Thank you for sharing! I FINALLY bought my Chanel! It’s a vintage classic just like yours! I’ve been longing for one and cringed at the price for a new one... then I decided to go preloved and am excited! I just ordered it for my 49th bday and can’t wait to get it! Salamat po for sharing! 🥰
Happy happy birthday, Annalissa Iokepa! That is the best gift ever! ❤️❤️❤️ I was also thinking of investing in a new one but the prices (especially now after the price increase) is just obscene. Too much!!! 😭😭😭😭 Vintage is the way to go, and the quality is so much better!
Hello there! I was so supposed to sell my Chanel bag same like yours ‘til I saw your video. I had it for a long time now and eventhough it does not fit much, it’s beauty and size are classic. Thank you for making me realize that this bag is for keeps. More vids like this pls ❤️
Don’t sell it, Marie Erencio! This is a classic bag that never goes out of style. 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 I’m glad you liked this video. More to come! ❤️
Omg i love you! I can feel your happiness. I really want one too! But in pink 🙈😌 gosh I can’t wait! No matter how many time passed, I’m gonna have it!
I have a double sided flap bag similar to the “ double faced” bag you returned. They are actually rare and sought after. I have people offer to buy mine all the time, but it is not for sale. Congratulations on scoring a beautiful vintage Chanel! It is lovely! The vintage are actually better quality than the newer bags and the hardware doesn’t turn like the newer ones.
Oh wow, I had no idea those bags were sought after, Cynthia Thornton! I guess for Chanel collectors, it’s a dream to own! 🙌🏻 It was beautiful but not what I was expecting that’s why I guess I had that reaction. I am happy with my purchase though-you’re right, the quality is fantastic! ❤️❤️❤️ Thanks for watching!
I so happy for you. I love this bag for long time .But I can't spend money for a band new !!! Now I have just decided to ordered the bag from Fashionphile delivery to UK. The bag is like your!! I can't wait to get my!!! Chanal classic flaps small lamp skin vintage circa 1990s 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Congratulations, Lek Pilot! That is the best decision ever! I am so happy with mine, I feel like I’m carrying a piece of history. Also from what I’ve been watching and reading the vintage lambskin is just so easy to maintain, as opposed to the ones now. Apparently the quality has gone down to cut costs. But the price is just too high!!! 😭😭😭 Enjoy your new bag! ❤️
Ahh the dream Chanel! I also wanted a small CF to add to my collection! Nothing beats a vintage Chanel. 💕💕 Awesome video Kelly!
You're so right! I am so happy I got this at such a good price. Nowadays I cant find any that are below P200k!
yay welcome to team small flap!! and btw the 2-faced was so cool though LOL!
Yay!!! Happy to be part of the club, Doto Siao! 😊😊😊 Actually you’re not the first one to say the 2-faced Chanel bag is cool! I think i was mostly shocked to receive a bag I didn’t think I ordered. That’s why I had that reaction. It was beautiful though.
So funny I found your video. I just bought my first vintage Chanel 2.55 bag. I’m in love. 🤎👜🥳
Aww congratulations! Love that bag so much! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Im the same, Kelly, i used to own few other designer bags but i really wanted a Chanel bag. One day i just bit the bullet and bought my first Chanel bag (rectangular mini) back in 2015 and i’ve never felt so happy! 😁 enjoy your bag!! I have to say your skin is flawless! #imjealous
It really is worth it to buy the thing we really want, gracey285. A classic piece that we will keep forever. ❤️❤️❤️ Thanks for watching! And aww my skin got better when I minimized my skincare and makeup routine.
I really love your taste and style always so chic. 👌My faves would be the *yutulux* leather backpack and the Swarovski pave diamond ring so gorg. 💓Thank you for your recommendations.
Congratulations on your new bag! I have mine last year🥰💕
Thank you, Simply Maychele! 😊😊😊😊 It really is a classic and so beautiful ❤️
So much love for this bag 😍
Dream bag!!! Finally have it. :)
I can totally relate! I’ve been wanting the palm springs mini but never could bring myself to buy it... I Finally did after buying multiple cheaper bags over the years and now I regret it! 😩... But the next bag I am eyeing is a vintage medium classic flap and I will buy it for sure now haha... Just waiting financially and for the perfect one not doing an impulse buy, trying to do my research first 😊
Dont settle! Just go for what you really want rather than buying 20 bags that wont live up to it! :)
I am actually want the same bag but a little bigger size of what you have. thank you for sharing that was nice of you..I will just wait til i can afford it
Yes!!! The Medium size is perfect! This one really just fits the essentials. It will be worth it when the time comes, Philine the Positive WIFE 😊😊😊
I'm new to your channel and I love your videos. I love your style. Subscribed! 😄
Yay, welcome!!! I’m happy you like it. Thanks for watching, Rhea Enon ❤️❤️❤️
I’m also the one that bought another bags instead of what I really wanted, like you said and it’s never ending. I bought more many and now still feeling like to have the one I wanted at first. One concern is if I buy the one I really wanted, I’m not sure it will end up my desire or not. Well, I better try to have the right one before and check myself feeling again. I like your video and story. 👍🏻
Isn’t it crazy?! We end up spending more because we try to satisfy what we really want with okay pieces that were not in love with. 😭😭😭 I have to tell you though, when I got my Chanel bag, I no longer have an urge to buy similar styles. So go for what you really want! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Kelly Misa-Fernandez Thank you for your reply. Let me ask for your opinion. Now I’m looking for a Chanel classic Lambskin 10 inch. I found 2 choices, one was a vintage holo 3 with good condition and another one was holo 13 with a little bit stain on the front. Surely holo 3 was cheaper but I’m not sure how long it lasts because it’s quite old. Not easy to decide..🤔
The variety of textures in the *yutulux* pack is impressive. From smooth leather to textured suede, there's something for everyone.
It’s a really really lovely handbag. I like this video a lot.
I’m glad you liked it, dimdull! 😊😊😊 It truly is a beautiful handbag. A classic!!! 😍😍😍
Always purchase secondhand. Because Chanel is Timeless. Thank you for the video,👍I am glad you got it.. 😍best wishes 🌹💕
True
Yes to this! ❤️ All my Chanel bags are preloved and I’m very happy with them.
I feel that, I was trying to convince myself I can just get this LV bag bc its faster to save up for but nope! I know my dream bag is the Chanel classic flap so that’s what I’m saving and getting!
I just bought this bag and am so nervous about the condition. Your bag is beautiful!
Aww! You'll love it for sure. Though for me it took 3 attempts to get the one I wanted hehe. :)
Congrats on your purchase!
Thank you, Bibigul T ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I am turning 30 in October and wanted to have my first luxury designer handbag to spoil myself. I kept thinking of going for 2 lv bags (an alma pm in vernier leather and speedy b 25 mono) or a coloured chanel classic medium double flap.
After seeing the bags in store, I realized I was just "filling a gap" by buying 2 lv bags when I really want is a chanel! Unfortunately the colour I wanted is not sold in Australia... so I started looking at preloved sites. As fate would have it, I found a lilac chanel classic double flap medium in great condition 😊💜
Omg, I’m so happy for you, Izza Garcia! Sounds like an amazing bag! Lilac!!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 What a great first bag. Lucky gal! ❤️❤️❤️ Happy birthday!
Just bought my 1st vintage Chanel and I am over 50 now lol
Hi Kelly! I love your fashion sense, and I got inspired to get my own vintage Chanel bag, my first ever luxury buy! Watching your channel tempted me. I got the small full flap bag from the 90s! Keep making these bag videos. Ha ha hopefully I get to buy another this year.
By the way, Kelly Dela Cruz is my bff! I think you know each other hehe.
Aww thank you for leaving this wonderful comment. I’m so happy I inspired you, and that you got your very first vintage Chanel! ❤️❤️❤️ I’ve been looking at the small full flap too but I need to find it in a color other than black.
And yes, I know Kelly! Her mom used to manage me when I did showbiz hehe! ❤️❤️❤️ Update me please on your next purchase!
@@kellymisa08 As an update, I just ordered another vintage bag in great condition haha! the Chanel Diana (small)
i love it! I love your style.
Thank you! I appreciate your comment. xo
It really amazing. Thank you for sharing.
I’m glad you liked this. Thanks mimi kao ❤️
My dream bag! 😍😍😍
It is such a classic ❤️❤️❤️ Sui
Thank you for this interesting video! Is the vintage chanel a good investment?
if i only heard this line 'a bag I had a crush on for 14 years' I would instantly imagine black channel flap LOL me too girl me too
also known as 'the best purchase of the year'
My happiest purchase! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
so happy for you.
Thank you, dear! :) Sending good vibes your way.
Do you know exactly what year this model is from? I’m looking for the same puff quality!
U deserve it 😃 I enjoy the video. I hope one day to have it too.
Nice Chanel bag review!
Thanks, Edward Smart! I’m glad you liked it. 😊😊😊😊
I love it that you've been smiling the whole video haha.. I am turning 30 next month and also want to buy a vintage Chanel classic, is this a the mini size? I love this size and it looks perfect on you.
I couldn’t help but smile ❤️❤️❤️ I was just so happy to have the bag with me. The size I got was Medium, just the perfect size! Ikben 1234 😘
Hi Kelly! Just wanted to ask...to ship from MSB to the Philippines you don’t have to pay exorbitant amounts on customs duties even if the value of the item is $2000+?
Hi there, Bing Cervantes! Nope, MSB delivers straight to your doorstep without hidden or extra costs. They’re great! ❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful beautiful bag it’s a vintage one I have the same one love it love video good on you.xxxx👍👍🤗🤗
Aww thank you, Jackie Attwood! I am so inlove with it. Really worth the wait! ❤️
This is random but I love your hair colour 🤩 lovely bags!!!
Thank you, Zena Cheong! So happy you liked the video! Yay!
Hello! I just checked Fashionphile and i cant seem to understand the different price points for the exact same bag (as in the one in your video) :) so im wondering if how much were you able to purchase yours at Fashionphile? I dont know if I should get the 3200usd or the 3800usd :) thanks!
Hi there! Prices vary depending on the condition of the bags. It can be the same bag but since they’re from different owners (preloved) they may have marks and signs of wear. My suggestion is to look closely at every photo and make the decision from there. ☺️☺️☺️☺️ Btw, it took me 3 tries to get the right bag so don’t make hasty decisions. ❤️
Wow💖💖💖..
Still watching😊
Hi again. I think you can use a smaller wallet like the LV Rosalie Wallet (mine in Mono- works with my Gucci Super Mini), a card holder (mine in Hermes Calvi) and you can fit more like your essentials- lippie, brow pencil and your car keys..
I am Gigi C., just changed my YT name- in case I sound familiar to you.
Wanted that Small Chanel Black Flap but still saving🥰 for that dream bag or the Reissue if I can find one in the Pre-loved market. Thanks for showing- hope you can share with us the wear and tear in a month or 2💕 Happy Saturday Ms Kelly😊
Hello there, Miss G! 😊😊😊 Yes I remember you. You’re right, I should’ve tried using my new cardholder instead of my bulky wallet hehe. If I did that I could put more things inside for sure. At least I could fit my phone haha! 😊😊😊 Will make another vlog in the future to share the wear and tear.
@@kellymisa08 Have fun using your bag. I too might choose the lambskin in the future because of it's lovely look than the caviar. Happy for you...
Thank you, Miss G ❤️❤️❤️
Congratulations on your new purse 😍! It is in such a great condition. I also love your top. Do you mind sharing where you got it? Thanks in advance. Keep on keeping on Kelly!
Aww thank you, Spread The Happy! I got lucky with this one. It’s so nice and puffy pa even if it’s almost 30 years old! 😊😊😊 The top I got it from Rosanna Ocampo Atelier. It has a matching skirt. ❤️
The third time was a charm!
At first I thought you were wearing a dress, until the mod shots. Thanks for sharing where you got it from😊👍🏻
Yes! I'm so happy I didn't lose hope. I was seriously thinking it was not meant for me. :) And yes, the top is so versatile! Love the material. xo
Hi Kelly, gorgeous bag and super helpful video! It's helped me see more and more that I really do prefer the vintage ones 😊 if you don't mind me asking, do you remember what the condition was listed as for your bag when you bought it? Yours looks likes its in amazing shape!
Yay! I’m glad this video was helpful to you. The one I got was in Very Good condition. When I buy in Fashionphile I only get Excellent to Very Good condition. 😊😊😊 Leah Lesage
Omg! Love it :)
Yay I’m glad you liked it, SY Y ❤️❤️❤️
Love this bag
It really is a beautiful bag! xo
Omg I’m so jealous 😍
Such a dream bag! ❤️❤️❤️ Mai Li Gietermans
Sis does the strap gold hardware tarnish or have scratches after years of use. Hows your bag as of today? Thinking of gold or silver hardware
The one I got although vintage has minimal scratches only. It’s 24K gold plated kasi when it’s vintage so it never fades.
My next bag to purchase after LV. I love chanel classic flap. Where did you purchase? May i know the series? Tnx 😀😘
Got it in Fashionphile! It said in the description it is from the early 1990s Glaiza Gueco 😊😊😊
Congrats on your latest purchase! A Chanel Flap is also on my wish list but maybe in a few years' time... Looking at vintage as well and in beige/nude color. If not Fashionphile/local resellers then baka Japan hehe.. kumusta shipping fee with MyShoppingBox? I usually use ShippingCart. I'm just curious baka it's cheaper...
Thank you, Marie Go! A Chanel Classic Flap is such a good bag. I’ve been obsessed with this one since I got it. I think the fees of MyShoppingBox is fair and they are very trustworthy and efficient. They’ve never lost an item. Very happy with their service! ❤️
Kelly Misa-Fernandez I see... sige will try it out :)
i recently got a 4 series medium flap ghw bag. it is beautiful..mine is flatter than yours though! i cannot believe the quality!..also fits more than i thought, maybe since its lambskin and vintage, more flexible..
Right? I love my vintage Chanel-I don’t really need to baby it, and from what I hear the quality is just so much better than the ones made now. Also the gold plated hardware isn’t bad at all 😍😍😍😍 Lvgirlkim
Wow congratulations!! I know the feeling when you buy your 1st vintage Chanel as I just got one myself. Is this your 1st? Going to watch your video now
LV speedy bando... i wanted to buy and already save up for it... but still thinking about it.. i'm scared haha!
Goooooo for it, iceplans! It’s a beautiful timeless bag! And you have the strap so it’s easy to use. ❤️❤️❤️
Can I ask if you did pay custom tax when it’s been Shipped in the Phil.
Hello Princess Emily! No need because this was purchased in the States. But when I order from the Philippines I send via My Shopping Box. They send straight to your doorstep. 😊
Hi question about fashionphile website are they selling only authentic bags?
Yes, all their bags are guaranteed authentic! 😊😊😊 michelle afante
Congratulations on your new purchase! Are you here in Manila or in the US? Hoping you could share how you shop abroad :)
Thank you, Jen T! I am based in the Philippines but actually I bought this bag when I went on vacation to the US. 😊😊😊 I bought this off Fashionphile and had it sent to my friend’s house.
May i know whats the size of this vintage classic flap?
I think for that bag you have to use a smaller wallet like a cardholder. It works for me 🤗
You’re right, Roby Xander. 😊 I actually bought a cardholder for my smaller bags but I forgot to use it in this video 😂😂😂 Thanks for watching!
Kelly Misa-Fernandez yeeey! Congrats on your new bag! 🥂
Its a really lovely bag. I am about to purchase a vintage chanel myself from Xupes
Yay! Let me know how it goes, Graceful Knots! I haven’t tried purchasing from Xupes. Is it a good site to get preloved bags? 😊
Yes they really look very good. There is a TH-cam called Freddy my love who got gifted a vintage Chanel bag from them.Their bags look really good. Will let you know how it goes. I need to sell my Gucci Marmont first though :)
Just saw my comment again when I watched your video again. I am addicted to Chanel vintage bag videos. Yes I finally got my vintage Chanel from rupees and I absolutely love it. I did a video showing it
so Im wondering if you wan a jumbo to fit more but then it would look big on you.
TBH I've been thinking about it, but you're right--it might look too big on me. :) I think the Chanel Classic Flap is a striking bag and if its in a bigger size it might be too overwhelming (at least for me).
bag collection or shoe collection blog pls.. 😍
Coming soon, Arcee Serrano ❤️❤️❤️
I really wanted a chanel medium flap bag and I saw one in brand new condition online. Hopefully I will see the bag soon. I hope I won't chicken out and just bite the bullet. I haven't bought a bag in over 2 years so maybe that will be my excuse to justify my longing. Like you said just buy it?
If you’ve been wanting it for so long and you have the budget for it, I say go for it. It will only get more expensive in time so there is no better time to buy than now. Imagine back in 2010 when I wanted the bag it was only P150k, now it’s P300k. That’s double the price in 10 years! 😳😳😳 yojgarganera
Also it won’t be a waste as long as you take care of it because if ever you change your mind you can sell it for more in the future 🙌🏻yojgarganera
@Kelly Misa-Fernandez hello there! Yes, I finally have my spanking BRAND NEW condition Chanel medium caviar black flap bag. It was bought in Korea(2012) as a wedding gift but the wife never wore it as claimed. After a thorough check (did good research about it too) and in PERFECT condition, I was convinced that it was authentic especially that I viewed the bag(pawned) with the owner in a pawn shop here in Auckland, NZ. I paid 72% of the current price in AUD. We do not have Chanel here in NZ. I'm so glad to have watched your video after I saw the bag online as it gave me the push to just buy it. By the way, my husband's middle name is Misa from Cebu.
What an amazing story!!! Then that bag is really meant for you! ❤️❤️❤️ Congrats and yes, if your husband is a Misa we are most likely related! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 yojgarganera
The dent can be reduced by pushing it out and steaming it over a towel
I think I saw that video but I’m too scared to do it since this is a vintage Chanel. And it’s really hardly noticeable. ☺️☺️☺️☺️
😍😍😍 question, did fashionphile ship directly to your PH address? Or did you have to pick up somewhere? Also did customs charge tax on the bag? Thanks!
Hello there, Trisha Camille! I signed up with My Shopping Box and that’s the info I used when I bought it in Fashionphile. ❤️ MSB sends it straight to my house, no need to pay extra aside from what I paid for the courier service. They’re super efficient! 😊😊😊
@@kellymisa08 ohh nice thanks! How long did it take to ship with MSB?
You can choose to send it by air (around 10-14 days) or by sea (2-3 weeks) 😊😊😊Trisha Camille
@@kellymisa08 thankyou!! ❤
Wow I have never heard of the the 2 faced bag. That would be scary to me lol:)
I was freaking out when I unboxed it!!! Like it felt like I was in a nightmare. I couldn’t bare looking at it, I headed straight to my nearest courier to return it. 😂😂😂 Graceful Knots
Just watched both adverts on your Chanel through to the end as I like to do that when I have time to lol:)
I don't blame you. I am not joking I would dream about it. I have never seen anything like that before!!!
How tall are you to have an idea of where the bag will sit at?
I am 5’7 ❤️ Irene H
Same as me! Thank you!
Nice!
I’m glad you liked it, Marlon Cenia 😊😊😊
You’re 💯 right in your video... I finally pulled the trigger by buying my ultimate wish in my wishlist last month which was a rolex watch and it took me years as well to realized if I was just more focus enough by not buying less expensive things just to have a temporary aide for my so called “unrealistic dream” it would have be more practical to buy what’s your heart really desire than what’s your brain trying to justify because of the steep price tag... wishes do come true!
OMG! Congratulations! Yes we surround ourselves with stuff that we don't really love just because we got them at a bargain (or we feel we don't deserve it or cant afford it). But there it is a different kind of feeling when we finally get the one we really want and dream about and use it every day!!! I'm so happy for you.
I love you top , would you mind I ask you the link?
It’s by Rosanna Ocampo, a local designer in the Philippines. Maybe you can DM her on Instagram to order: @studio_rosannaocampo ❤️ Jessie Yang
❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for watching! Appreciate it! xo
so true, I could have saved around $3000 USD if I could buy chanel right away 10 years ago!
Same thoughts 😭😭😭😭 I super regret not buying when it was only $2500
@@kellymisa08 as i have bought at least 4 to 5 other bags trying to fill that hole in my heart before finally buying a vintage chanel 4months ago..., while those other bags never satisfied me
Congrats enjoy
Thanks, Tantamount Montgomery ❤️❤️❤️
Haha I cracked up at "I don't want this in my life"
Hahahaha! Those were the exact words that came out when I saw the bag. :)
like your video :)
Thank you! ☺️☺️☺️☺️ I’m glad you found it helpful
One of my most used bags! I just uploaded my review of the chanel vintage maxi/jumbo if you want to check it out! Lots of love from Switzerland 💕
Aww that’s awesome! Same here, I love using this bag. ❤️ Hello from Manila! 😘😘😘
You really have to buy your dreambag because if not you will end up buying another bag then another one...and another one....
It happenned to me
YES!!! Thinking you've made a good deal by buying something cheaper on sale is just temporary, because we will always want that one bag that caught our eye in the beginning.
The two days Chanel vintage is very rare
The two face Chanel vintage is very rare actually
You’re right! Looking back I do realize that now. ☺️☺️☺️☺️
the medium fits more
For sure, maria elvinia. Anyway this bag is a dressier bag so I just bring the basics when I use it. 😊😊😊
Hahaha “busog”
Hahahahaha yes!!! 😂😂😂 Sarah Oliva
