I am so bummed, you guys—this video is my “wishlist unboxing fail” with a Chanel small Classic Flap that I grabbed from Fashionphile during their extended Lunar New Year sale (10% off). I’ve been hunting for a butter yellow Chanel flap for about a year, and I truly thought this was “the one” based on the website photos. I opened it early because I was so excited… and my heart just kind of sank when I saw the shade in person. I go through the details: it’s a small Classic Flap in caviar leather with champagne gold hardware, and overall it’s still a beautiful bag. But the yellow is not the exact buttercup tone I wanted (and I show it next to my perfect butter yellow piece), plus I noticed a couple quality issues that weren’t called out—like some stitching coming out and what looks like a bit of peeling on the strap. For the price (one of my most expensive Chanel flaps), I need to be 100% in love, and I’m not. I also share my honest thoughts on shopping Fashionphile: I like that they carry hard-to-find items and allow returns, but I’m disappointed the photos and “excellent” condition description didn’t fully match what I received—especially since I still have to pay return shipping. My biggest takeaway: these items are too expensive to keep if you’re not truly happy, and I’m going to keep looking for my perfect yellow.
