You know what Amie, bless your little heart for giving us a 30min video on something as beautiful as the Channel bags. Just thinking how much time it took for you to film, and oh my gosh edit. And you gives us the time stamps of each section in the description, just bless. Lol.
Amie, I seriously think Chanel should buy this off you and put it on their website. It is very informative and excellently made. I was gung-ho on a medium-large because I'm petite but after watching your previous uploads and this one, I'm now a firm believer in the jumbo. I love, love the way you explain everything. Keep doing more....
Aw thank you, so glad you found it useful! The jumbo is a gorgeous choice :) And Chanel could definitely just pay me in bags; that would be more than okay! ;)
I wish I watched this video before buying my first Chanel classic flap. I don't regret my purchase at all, but this video would make my life so much easier. Instead of doing tons of research here and there, this video explains it all! I really appreciate you making an outline in the description box, eg. background, sizes, what fits... etc. Your videos are always very high quality. I am not just talking about the digital/technical stuff, but the content. You've always managed to express your content in a clear, informative and organized way. Bravo!
Such a well made video Amie :) It was so well thought out, put together and filmed beautifully. I think this will be super helpful to sooo many people and I know personally your videos have been such a great reference point for me, especially the mini comparison one. Not many people realise just how much work goes into making and editing a video and you really can tell the effort you have put into this, so thank you :) You are looking gorgeous as always and keep up the fantastic work! Xx Mel
I really love your videos Amie, they are all edited so perfectly and you're always so succinct. It's lovely watching a grown up talking to grown ups instead of pandering to children! Xx
So I've always been into high end bags but I could never bite the bullet however, watching your videos really gave me a lot of insight on quality and wearability of Chanel bags as well as the bags being investments. Just wanted to thank you for always being so thorough in your videos because of your knowledge and willingness to share and teach others, I finally bought my first bag (I got the jumbo!). Thanks so much!
Can't thank you enough for making this video... All the details you shared were invaluable, especially for a first time buyer, cant remember the last time I enjoyed a 30min video this much
I have been shopping around for a Chanel bag for about a month, trying to find the perfect one, and then Fleur mentioned your channel and I found this video and it's fate! You're fantastic and thank you for this!
Ah thank you!! I was honestly fretting about the length so much so very glad you enjoyed it!

I really want the black classic flap bag but the price is ridiculous and it gets higher every year!! I just feel like I could buy so many other things with the same money
Just tried on the medium and jumbo yesterday at Neiman Marcus and I can't believe how small the medium is! Now, I am having a conniption trying to decide between medium and jumbo. I know jumbo will hold more things, but I really don't plan on using this as an everyday bag - my neverfull and speedy 30 do the trick there - so I guess I am still leaning towards the medium to use as a weekend/special occasion bag, but now I'm just less excited by it! My husband also thought the medium "looked cuter" in this words - lol. I do have a Chanel WOC as well which kind of fits the bill for the weekend/special event piece. Argh! Decisions, decisions!
My classic jump flap I got from my grandma she was a very affluent bag collector since the 50’s and this is the one bag she gave me, I have taken it to chanel and all the essays are shocked at how well it holds up! I love it and it goes with everything I highly recommend! However it is a little scary if I go through a bad part of town it could be snatched up quick
I've always wanted a Chanel bag. Just recently started watching all the TH-cam videos from everyone under the sun about It and weather to buy new or pre-loved. Yours is my fav. Of all the videos. Once I decide on which one, it was time to go see and try in person. Took a trip with my bff on Sat. to Chanel store is San Francisco so we can both experience it together. I ended getting the classic jumbo black caviar with the gold. I thought I wanted the silver, medium. But in person, the jumbo was the perfect one. If I waited to get later, I would never pull the trigger..especially with another price increase coming soon. I Can't wait for it to be delivered this week since the last one in the store I tried on was a display and they had to ship one.
This is such a great idea, I've just purchased my first Chanel bag and am so excited for it to arrive! I've always wanted a classic Chanel flap bag so that's what I'm going to save for next, I have my heart set on the medium size and am surprised how much you can fit inside! x
This is a really good reference video. I'm sure many people, including those who aren't subscribed yet, will find your professionally delivered video useful. For my part, I'm itching to see the new pink boy bag in action!
Thank you so much for this video. I was going back and forth between lambskin and caviar but seeing as I'm not gentle on my accessories at all it looks like caviar won! I love how in-depth this was and didn't mind the length at all. It certainly didn't feel like 30 minutes.
You can tie the jumbo chain inside the flap with a ribbon. Leaving one long chain and one short chain. Then the jumbo can be easily hand/arm carried or worn cross body. Try it and see!!
I just want to say how much I love your videos! So informative! My friends aren't super into designer handbags so its awesome to come here and feel like you are giving me the dish on all the latest designs. I've always been big into Louis but you are teaching me all about the world of Chanel!
I just want to say I've been watching you for a while now and have been listening on your feed back on Chanel bags. Myself I adore LV and Chanel to death lol I have a few LV bags and SLG's but today marks my first movement towards Chanel.. I bought the Chanel 2.55 medium flap :) thank thank you so much for your honest opinion with Chanel. If it wasn't for you I probably would of still been second guessing myself but I'm beyond pleased with my purchase.
Love this video. I enjoy watching all your videos and find myself keep coming back to already-watched ones just because how clear and engaging your presentation is.
Oh Amie darling you've done it once again, and given us your subscribers a very informative video with great content and that beautiful face of yours ahah. Thank you for taking the time to make this video. Very much appreciated! xx
Thanks so much for this video! I found it really helpful. I am looking at buying my first Chanel bag (jumbo) in a few months time. I was told by my SA that the caviar leather was called that because the pebbled print is pressed onto the leather and that it looks like caviar eggs. Love how Chanel has sentiment and heritage to their bags
Hi Amie, superb review and extremely informative. I have to say you are more knowledgeable than some of the Chanel SA. Great job babe, I just cannot compliment you enough. And I totally agree with you with regards to building relationships. Though a SA's job is to service the client, they don't have to go through extra mile of texting, calling, sourcing and reserving our wants. I guess it is good for us to show our appreciation and reciprocate their service in a way. Also make this world a better place to be in 😊🤗😄😁😇💗💖💕
I love this video!! Thank you for being so informational about the chanel flapbags and chanel boy! I love your black caviar jumbo, pink lambskin mini, and the lambskin pink chanel boy!
they actually never call you on the waiting list i was first on one for six months the bag came in my credit card was even their and they ended up giving it to someone who came in the store a few days after.... the us waiting lists dont really work 90% of the time
Hi, love your videos! What is the difference of grained calfskin vs caviar leather? I was looking on the website, the grained calfskin is kinda shiny. Is it really hard to purchase this bag everywhere? Please help. Thank you.🤗
I have the Chanel classic flap in small, there isn't really much difference between it and the medium.. Kinda wish I had gone for the medium size since it's a tiny bit roomier. I also have the mini rectangular classic flag in python leather, one of my best purchases! I absolutely adore this bag!
Omg I love your channel and I've been binging your channel for the last few days haha- love the mini square caviar one, unfortunately, it's discontinued and I would love to buy it
Your videos are always so helpful and informative. Please get back to us on the calfskin leather, I am thinking about buying a bag made of calfskin. Thank you.
hi amie, i just watched ur video since last month until now..can i know at what age you buy your first chanel bag? as i 26 this year, i hv enough money to invest however i afraid if i should put the money to house deposit first or the bag first? i work as internal auditors. ,,☺️
Just the video I needed! Thinking about treating myself to the square mini for my birthday as I am in love! Will be my first Chanel too eee! Love your videos xx
such a great video Amie. just wondering how heavy is the chanel jumbo cavier leather? I love that it can hold a lot more than smaller sizes but just afraid it is heavy. does the weight different between different leather? thanks Amie
Thank you Amie! I don't know if you will read a comment on such an old video but I had a question. I am looking into a channel bag (have to save for next two years 😂) but is saviar and calfskin the same? Because I can only see calfskin and lambskin on their website for flap with handle and classic flaps.
Yup, it's the same thing! Caviar would be a grained calfskin - and is more generally what the public called the leather rather than official Chanel SAs. A bit like how the 'jumbo' isn't the official name because Chanel just called it a 'large classic flap' :)
Thank you so much for making this video :) very useful as now i can decide which one i should get first...been contemplating between medium and jumbo for so long but now i think jumbo fits me better
Amie you have a great collection! I want to buy a square mini in lambskin or a woc in caviar, which one do you think can be a better bag for someone who is 158 cm tall and has a more casual lifestyle? And also may I ask you if your first chanel (the black one in lambskin) has the same wear that your jumbo does? (or the wear on lambskin is more noticable on scratches rather than the leather peeling off? Thank you :) !!!
My personal preference would be a square mini - I owned a WOC for a short time and found it extremely limiting in terms of space. I think the square mini is just a more versatile bag in general :) My first Chanel doesn't but it also isn't quite the same bag, i.e. it's less structured than the classic flaps (no double flap etc.) which I do think makes a difference. A classic flap wouldn't have the same structural issues as my Mademoiselle Ligne flap but it also has different wear. The lambskin maxi I used to own did have the exact same wear as my jumbo though.
Thank you! You did very good comparison and analysis ..if you have to pick one between Jumbo and medium for day to day and dinner out which one would you pick??
Beautiful review. You put a lot of effort into making this video, and it shows with its quality! Thank you for the detailed review, and side by side comparisons! Even owning a few chanel's myself, I found this video very helpful. I have been looking at the mini! xx
Hi amie! What is caviar leather made out of? I am looking for caviar too, chanel’s customer service emailed me that they only have caviar calfskin. Is it the same?
Great video. Thank you. I am wondering if the wear on the lambskin for the bags are different because of the different quilting. Wishing you a wonderful weekend!
Hi. Thanks for your video! I’m 5ft and I found the chain too short for me too when I tried on the M/L so I am hoping to go for the jumbo! Hope it’s not to big for me- seemed ok when I looked in the mirror. I just wanted to ask what do you do with your bag when you go out for dinner etc? Obviously it’s an expensive bag so I would be worried about putting it on the floor or leaving it unattained xxx
hi Amie, i am just curious do you need to clean the bottom of your shoes before you put in the closet just under your clothes, or are those shoes are new?
Thank u for this, really informative. I'm only 5ft tall so in terms of chain length, I think the m/l flap suits me the most. Can u double up the chain in the mini, like how ppl double up chains in woc? I have the feeling that the mini exudes casual/carefree feeling and the m/l flaps are more formal. I feel like since I'm shorter/petite, I'm only limited to the m/l classic flap 😕 do u agree with this?
I feel like you could do something but I'm not sure if that would affect the integrity of the bag shape (especially with lambskin). I've seen many petite girls rock even the jumbo so I think you can definitely get away with more than just the M/L but if you're choosing between the rectangle mini and M/L only, then you might find the strap a little long on the mini. Assuming the square mini isn't an option for you? Because I think that would be a perfect chain length on you! :)
hi amie! i have watched some videos on youtube saying that chanel mini fits similar amount of stuff as the small one... and also the medium fits similar as the small one (maybe a cardholder or a lipstick more..) may i ask what if you can only choose one bag using on daily basis, which size would you choose ( mini/ small / medium) ?
A relatively new subscriber here :). Over the last few weeks I have gone back and caught up on all of your videos and I absolutely love them! You are so eloquent in the way that you speak and you describe everything perfectly. Thanks for making such an in depth video - I'd love to eventually buy a Chanel bag and this is incredibly helpful!! Xx
Agree on lamb skin durability, I have a m/l in creme lambskin from 1995 (thanks mum!!) and it looks brand new, the 'diamonds' have kept their shape and still very puffy. I recently went to buy the mini square after seeing yours but it's not available in caviar this season and the lamb skin gold is the light gold which I don't love either. Waiting until next season now :(
Aw thank you so much! It is a shame about the lambskin but I do think it varies from season to season (as opposed to lambskin just being bad now!) so definitely keep trying!
Hi amie i super adore your videos. Your vids are so enjoyable and informative too. I have a quick question, hope you do notice it 🙈 i am about to buy my first chanel and im gonna have it authenticated. When u get yours authenticated, do u normally go for the very basic (emailed auth only) or the one with certificate (the one which can be used for paypal). I plan to use authenticate4u. Ive used them once before already, but only used the email service. Is that reliable enough? (My intent for auth is just for myself only and my peace of mind..)
Hi Amy I found your video sooo helpful thank you so much I m looking to buy a Chanel bag and looking on the website the one I think would be best for me is item 20 cost £3,620 wondered if you could take a look at Chanel website and see if the size is the same as the cream medium one you showed in your video once again great video and so informative xx
great video!! I am thinking of getting the timeless classic in chevron with calfskin leather. What is your opinion on the durability factor of calfskin???
This video is fantastic Amie! Very well done. Thank you so much! I'm debating now if I should get a mini square or rec. I like rec simply coz it has a longer chain but I like the cute shape of a square bag. Ugh! Decision. Decision.
You know what Amie, bless your little heart for giving us a 30min video on something as beautiful as the Channel bags. Just thinking how much time it took for you to film, and oh my gosh edit. And you gives us the time stamps of each section in the description, just bless. Lol.

I think you just created the holy grail of Chanel flap videos girl! I'm going to refer to this a lot!
Ah thank you!! So glad you enjoyed it! :)
I love the transferring from one bag to another. That was so clever, and helpful!
The thumbnail is perfect. This video is definitely going to get a ton of views!

Thank you so much Mel! So lovely of you to say so :)
Best Chanel 101 video. Hands down. The hubby overheard your video and he said: "huh... she sounds intelligent!" ☺️☺️
aw thank you! I think my boyfriend has the opposite reaction when he hears me talking about handbags haha! ;)
I really love your videos Amie, they are all edited so perfectly and you're always so succinct. It's lovely watching a grown up talking to grown ups instead of pandering to children! Xx
Thank you so much for your lovely comment! So kind of you to say!

That's so exciting! Nothing like buying your first Chanel bag! It was my most prized possession for years haha :) So glad you found the video useful!
This is 30 mins of superpower quality video. Chanel maestro. I thought I knew a bit about Chanel but actually learned so much in this video.
Ah thank you!! I was honestly fretting about the length so much so very glad you enjoyed it!
I really want the black classic flap bag but the price is ridiculous and it gets higher every year!! I just feel like I could buy so many other things with the same money
look at me
Wow I wouldn't have guessed that your first bag was from 15 years ago! It looks like it's less than 5 years old. The leather ages amazingly
Just tried on the medium and jumbo yesterday at Neiman Marcus and I can't believe how small the medium is! Now, I am having a conniption trying to decide between medium and jumbo.

I can't believe how high quality of your videos have always been. This video looks like you just shot it in 2018. Love your contents!
Your collection makes me drool and makes my husband want to ban me from TH-cam lol
Jennifer McMillan 😂😂😂😂😂😂
This is such a dreamy video! So informative and well put together! xx
Thank you so much Suzie! That is such a huge compliment coming from you! x
Probably the most comprehensive Chanel video I’ve seen thank you

Thanks for putting so much effort in making a Chanel 101 video. Love it!
I am literally in love with your classiness! Thank you for all of this information!
My favorite is medium, rectangular mini and square mini. Square mini is so classy in my opinion.

This was so helpful I'm looking into buying my first Chanel bag probably not a classic flap but I still found it very helpful.
You looks really nice with this hair style...I prefer this style to curly
Hi Amie, superb review and extremely informative. I have to say you are more knowledgeable than some of the Chanel SA. Great job babe, I just cannot compliment you enough. And I totally agree with you with regards to building relationships. Though a SA's job is to service the client, they don't have to go through extra mile of texting, calling, sourcing and reserving our wants. I guess it is good for us to show our appreciation and reciprocate their service in a way. Also make this world a better place to be in 😊🤗😄😁😇💗💖💕
Aw thank you so much! And I couldn't agree more with your last comment - a little gratitude goes a long way :) xx
Chanel classic flap is such an elegant bag
Thank you for your thoroughness in this video. You explained/answered so many questions I have as I get ready to purchase my first Chanel.
Fleurdeforce sent me and you seem very genuine and intelligent. Great video.
Ah thank you! So niceof Fleur to mention me!! :) xx
this video is super informative I was sold on the Square mini but now I think the rectangle one is for me ..you are amazing for these videos !
I love this video!! Thank you for being so informational about the chanel flapbags and chanel boy! I love your black caviar jumbo, pink lambskin mini, and the lambskin pink chanel boy!
I love your top most of all in this video! Wish I could find a cute off shoulder top like this when I'm out shopping
Ok, I've been lusting over the top all day and I gotta know where to find it!
Hi Evie! The top is from ASOS, link here: bit.ly/2a74qDd

Hello there, very good video! Do you know what the letter after the year means when the seasonal pieces come out i.e. 18b, 18c, 17c, 19c etc?
Hi Amie - can you please do a video on how you care for your Chanel handlbags & if you use any conditioning products on them at all? Thank you
wow the best chanel video ever thank you
Yay! So glad you enjoyed it!
it was coco who designed the CC logo, she got her inspiration from an old church window decoration that has that :)
OMG great info amie really well put together. thank you...
Yay! So glad you liked it! :) xx
I also wear my M/L as a top handle bag by tying the chains by a ribbon under the flap.
Hi, love your videos! What is the difference of grained calfskin vs caviar leather? I was looking on the website, the grained calfskin is kinda shiny. Is it really hard to purchase this bag everywhere? Please help. Thank you.🤗
Would you be able to compare the Chanel rectangle mini with the rectangle mini with top handle? I am torn between the two!
I have the Chanel classic flap in small, there isn't really much difference between it and the medium.. Kinda wish I had gone for the medium size since it's a tiny bit roomier.
I also have the mini rectangular classic flag in python leather, one of my best purchases! I absolutely adore this bag!
Your collection is stunning.Thanks for sharing all the info!
I really love the square mini one!!!!!!!!where can I buy now??!!! I live in Birmingham and I think there is no chanel store here with bags!!!!!
Omg I love your channel and I've been binging your channel for the last few days haha- love the mini square caviar one, unfortunately, it's discontinued and I would love to buy it
I wish I could give this video a million likes
Ah thank you lovely! :D xx

such a great video Amie. just wondering how heavy is the chanel jumbo cavier leather? I love that it can hold a lot more than smaller sizes but just afraid it is heavy. does the weight different between different leather? thanks Amie
thank you for this detailed video. I found it very helpful. What is your view point of the patent leather chanel bags?
Great video so informative:)You are right about the small flap,I sold mine I could hardly fit anything in it! Lovely collection Amie
Super informative video Amie !! God job! 👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you Amie! I don't know if you will read a comment on such an old video but I had a question.

Thank you so much for making this video :) very useful as now i can decide which one i should get first...been contemplating between medium and jumbo for so long but now i think jumbo fits me better
Amie you have a great collection! I want to buy a square mini in lambskin or a woc in caviar, which one do you think can be a better bag for someone who is 158 cm tall and has a more casual lifestyle? And also may I ask you if your first chanel (the black one in lambskin) has the same wear that your jumbo does? (or the wear on lambskin is more noticable on scratches rather than the leather peeling off? Thank you :) !!!
My personal preference would be a square mini - I owned a WOC for a short time and found it extremely limiting in terms of space.

A classic flap wouldn't have the same structural issues as my Mademoiselle Ligne flap but it also has different wear. The lambskin maxi I used to own did have the exact same wear as my jumbo though.
Thank you! You did very good comparison and analysis ..if you have to pick one between Jumbo and medium for day to day and dinner out which one would you pick??
I love the video so much! I want my own Chanel jumbo but I'm so scare of ending up with a fake bag.
Beautiful review. You put a lot of effort into making this video, and it shows with its quality! Thank you for the detailed review, and side by side comparisons! Even owning a few chanel's myself, I found this video very helpful. I have been looking at the mini! xx
Hi amie! What is caviar leather made out of? I am looking for caviar too, chanel’s customer service emailed me that they only have caviar calfskin. Is it the same?
My favorite is still the classic black!
Great video. Thank you. I am wondering if the wear on the lambskin for the bags are different because of the different quilting. Wishing you a wonderful weekend!
Quite possibly! Although the classic flaps are a lot more structured than my mademoiselle ligne flap which makes a difference too I think.
I was wondering this too!
Hi. Thanks for your video! I’m 5ft and I found the chain too short for me too when I tried on the M/L so I am hoping to go for the jumbo! Hope it’s not to big for me- seemed ok when I looked in the mirror. I just wanted to ask what do you do with your bag when you go out for dinner etc? Obviously it’s an expensive bag so I would be worried about putting it on the floor or leaving it unattained xxx
hi Amie, i am just curious do you need to clean the bottom of your shoes before you put in the closet just under your clothes, or are those shoes are new?
Thank u for this, really informative. I'm only 5ft tall so in terms of chain length, I think the m/l flap suits me the most. Can u double up the chain in the mini, like how ppl double up chains in woc? I have the feeling that the mini exudes casual/carefree feeling and the m/l flaps are more formal. I feel like since I'm shorter/petite, I'm only limited to the m/l classic flap 😕 do u agree with this?
I feel like you could do something but I'm not sure if that would affect the integrity of the bag shape (especially with lambskin). I've seen many petite girls rock even the jumbo so I think you can definitely get away with more than just the M/L but if you're choosing between the rectangle mini and M/L only, then you might find the strap a little long on the mini. Assuming the square mini isn't an option for you? Because I think that would be a perfect chain length on you! :)
hi amie!
i have watched some videos on youtube saying that chanel mini fits similar amount of stuff as the small one... and also the medium fits similar as the small one (maybe a cardholder or a lipstick more..) may i ask what if you can only choose one bag using on daily basis, which size would you choose ( mini/ small / medium) ?
Do u ever have any problems with the leather strap coming out of the chain?
A relatively new subscriber here :). Over the last few weeks I have gone back and caught up on all of your videos and I absolutely love them! You are so eloquent in the way that you speak and you describe everything perfectly. Thanks for making such an in depth video - I'd love to eventually buy a Chanel bag and this is incredibly helpful!! Xx
Aw thank you so much! So glad you enjoyed it!
Agree on lamb skin durability, I have a m/l in creme lambskin from 1995 (thanks mum!!) and it looks brand new, the 'diamonds' have kept their shape and still very puffy. I recently went to buy the mini square after seeing yours but it's not available in caviar this season and the lamb skin gold is the light gold which I don't love either. Waiting until next season now :(
Also this video was fantastic - very informative and filmed and delivered so expertly. Very happy to have found you!
Aw thank you so much! It is a shame about the lambskin but I do think it varies from season to season (as opposed to lambskin just being bad now!) so definitely keep trying!
Definitely the most through chanel review and comparisons. Thankyou,dear
Such a great reference video lovey! I'm sure this will come in very handy for so many people! Great work! 💝😘
Hi amie i super adore your videos. Your vids are so enjoyable and informative too. I have a quick question, hope you do notice it 🙈 i am about to buy my first chanel and im gonna have it authenticated. When u get yours authenticated, do u normally go for the very basic (emailed auth only) or the one with certificate (the one which can be used for paypal). I plan to use authenticate4u. Ive used them once before already, but only used the email service. Is that reliable enough? (My intent for auth is just for myself only and my peace of mind..)
Hi Amy I found your video sooo helpful thank you so much I m looking to buy a Chanel bag and looking on the website the one I think would be best for me is item 20 cost £3,620 wondered if you could take a look at Chanel website and see if the size is the same as the cream medium one you showed in your video once again great video and so informative xx
great video!! I am thinking of getting the timeless classic in chevron with calfskin leather. What is your opinion on the durability factor of calfskin???
Dear Lord! How many Chanel bags do you have??... Anyway! Fantastic video! Thanks for all the info!!!
She has a gorgeous collection! Each Chanel piece is covetable and the collection as a whole is really well-rounded.
Hi Amie. Absolutely love the video!!! I was wondering does your beige Chanel bag get dirty easily? and whats the easiest way to clean it? Many thanks!
With caviar, I have always found it to be very carefree - I just wipe it with a baby wipe :)
This video is fantastic Amie! Very well done. Thank you so much! I'm debating now if I should get a mini square or rec. I like rec simply coz it has a longer chain but I like the cute shape of a square bag. Ugh! Decision. Decision.
