Buying Guide: Chanel Handbags
The three flap sizes, when to choose caviar, and why pre-2015 is a hunt.
Size Selection
Small (20cm) for evening, Medium (25.5cm) as the daily icon, Jumbo (30cm) for structure and presence. The Medium remains the reference and holds value most consistently.
Caviar vs. Lambskin
Caviar is pebbled, resilient, and near-scratchproof — the daily-carry choice. Lambskin is buttery, luminous, and delicate — a special-occasion leather that demands care.
Pre-2015 Advantage
Chanel raised prices dramatically after 2015. A pre-2015 flap in excellent condition often trades below current retail while carrying the same silhouette and hardware.
