Who doesn’t love a pink Chanel flap? I have to say that this is the cutest bag in my collection. The color of this Barbie pink makes me instantly happier. Honestly, pictures don’t do justice to the bubblegum pink of this bag. Yes, it was the color that sold me on this adorable mini rectangular classic flap, which instantly brightens up and adds fun to any summer outfit. And yes, you read that right—I only take her out during summer as it’s impossible to combine with my winter and fall outfits.
Why did I choose it? I fell in love with the color. For me, there’s no better combination than a Chanel bag in pink. It might sound silly, but I can’t resist the cuteness of this combo. It’s even more perfect with silver hardware, so it had to be mine.
Features: The mini rectangular Chanel bags are small but surprisingly roomy. This type of bag almost holds the same amount as the small classic flap. It’s made from soft lambskin leather and features silver hardware. The interior is leather-lined with a small zipped compartment and the Mona Lisa pocket at the back.
Where did I buy it? I got this bag from a consignment store in Paris. Since this is a hard-to-get piece, I pulled the trigger right away, and I have no regrets so far.
Cons: The soft leather is very delicate, making it easy to get scratched. On the other hand, the buttery soft lambskin is what makes this piece so luxurious. I’m also a bit worried about color transfer, so I tend to wear this bag more with white or other light colors.
Would I purchase it again? Of course, she is stunning.
Would I purchase it pre-loved? Oh yes, definitely. There’s always low stock for these types of pieces, making them challenging to acquire. Additionally, Chanel prices have skyrocketed, so buying pre-loved is a good option if you want to save some money.
