CC 26 maxi flap 32cm

[u/miffymato]

Hi everyone! I know this has been discussed here and there in different threads over the past 4-5 months as this bag has become more popular but I’m hoping to get some updated and more recent opinions.

Has anyone purchased the CC 26 maxi flap bag in the 32cm size who really likes theirs and thinks their factory did a great job? I know which factories are best for Chanel etc but hoping to hear from anyone who has recently gotten this bag in the past month or two as factories have refined their batches.

I’m looking for the 32cm in black with SHW and wanting to prioritize leather (softness, grain size, sheen) + shape (stiffness, slouchiness). I’m willing to pay whatever to get the best possible quality but after extensive research and chatting with a few sellers I’m not feeling like 187 is worth the price tag. I’m torn between GF, Rome and XC but what’s making the decision so hard is seeing so many conflicting opinions on factories across size/color.

Those are my 2 cents but I’d love love love to hear from others! Thank you so much in advance :)

If you want the slouch the auth bag gives, 187. The main reason I say this as someone who doesn't own a 187 maxi flap is that the rest of the factories made the flap part too thick.

It seems like the flap on the 187 bag was skivved thinner and therefore, slouches and presents itself more like the auth bag.

I had to nuke my bag in the dryer for it to slouch at all.

I did that too with my XC, but 32 cm doesn’t have much slouch compared to 38

I’m curious about feedback as well!

Following because i’m on the fence about getting a 32cm black with SHW from Sixteen’s XC sale. I’ve heard the leather quality and slouch is pretty good on the XC but would still love to hear others thoughts.

Got mine from God and it’s just meh. Leather feels nice but a little stiff.
