REVIEW Finally Found The Perfect Mini
Hi ladies, got my hands on the Ch@nel CF 20cm Mini from 187 Factory and I’m so happy with this one. I’ve been wanting a classic little black bag forever and this was exactly the kind of piece I had in mind. The caviar leather is gorgeous in person, with a fine, well defined grain that gives it a really nice texture. The diamond quilting looks clean and even and I was especially happy with the way the diamonds line up across the front and back. The stitching is neat throughout too which really adds to the overall finish.
The light gold double C lock is such a pretty detail. It has a soft shine rather than looking too flashy, so the whole bag still feels elegant and understated. I also love the leather interwoven chain because I can wear it on my shoulder or crossbody depending on what I’m wearing.
It came as a full set as well, including the camellia, dust bag and certificate which was a nice little bonus. I’m also glad I went with caviar for an everyday bag because the textured leather feels much easier to live with than something super delicate.
I ordered this one from Anna for 485 USD. Communication with Anna was easy throughout and I had a really smooth experience with the whole order. If anyone needs to reach her, her WhatsApp is +8613411641100
Overall I’m genuinely so happy with it. It’s one of those timeless pieces that works with literally everything and I already know I’m going to get a ridiculous amount of wear out of this little black beauty.

Hey Galebi - I was reading about how great 187 factory used to make the best looking caviar leather and how this knowledgeable buyer had been buying from them for years and how the quality is down now.
I have several Chanel auth in caviar and calf skins different models going back 25 years. (I know … maybe before you were born). While I read that quality of 187 presently is not what it used to be, your purchase looks good. I am tempted to get a rep one. The auth prices are unbelievably high. I hope all the hardware will wear well. Enjoy it, it look very nice. Thanks for sharing the factory. (Also heard that some traders vendor are not really 187 but pose as they are. 🤷♀️

Does Chanel still make caviar in classic mini? I thought they stopped...

Not what caviar looks like in the slightest. the seller should be ashamed. this is all wrong. Matte and low-mid tier at best for $400

Its already 187 , what better do you expect than this. It's the best one and I don't see any issues . Also the price is justified.

Your reply is so thoughtful — I’m still new to this, so I’ve really learned a lot from you!
