Bag Review: That Camelia Classic Flap at Chanel


Season after season, my eyes just grow wider when I find out the price of a Chanel classic flap bag. If I had kept my first, small sized one from 1992 (heh don’t start counting back to find out my age lol), I’d have made a killing now if I sell it today. Alas, I didn’t. Boo!

Anyway, nowadays so many women are carrying the classic flap bag that a few have taken to buying something a little more extraordinary from their favorite fashion house. This Chanel Classic Flap that’s riddled with Coco’s favorite camelias might just be that “extraordinary” piece.

It is a gorgeous bag, but is also so much heavier and bulkier. Let’s not even talk about the price difference 🙂 But for the discerning woman who wants something different from the rest of the bag- loving community, this is a collector’s piece worth owning. Though haha I wouldn’t want to schlep this bag around 🙂

Between this camelia bag and the 2.55 charms bag,

I think I’d choose the camelia one even if it is less practical. I quite like the idea of carrying a mini garden around 😉

  1. I stumbled upon your blog on my most boring day at work and I’m so glad I did. I’m still contemplating on selling my unused seasonal chanel with charms since I got a classic flap which is so far mesmerising than the seasonal. I don’t like the camelia but this one here looks elegant. Btw, I am looking in your pages the ‘About me’ section but couldn’t find, would like to know more about the blogger especially that I’m originally from the Phils who now live in Sydney and who’s now starting to be a bag hag too 🙂
