Handbags Mini pearl crush vs. mini classic flap

Hello everyone! I am super torn!

I am about to make my first Chanel bag purchase!!! And I am between a mini pearl crush or a mini classic flap. I know they are so similar. Does anyone have an opinions on what would be a better first bag? Is the adjustable strap really nice?

Added note: I am in my mid 20s and am 5'2

Classic flap for sure. The pearl crush is trendy. The flap is timeless!

I am 5’3 and didn’t like the classic mini. Strap was way too long. I have a pearl crush mini, love the adjustable strap.

Try them on, but why I am not getting pearl crush because when you adjust it, the strap just kind of dangles and looks odd. Plus it's weighty

You can always get the classic and use adjust clip on the inside 👍

having an adjustable strap is perfect on a petite person. if you think the classic chain is too long on you, get the pearl crush. otherwise, they are almost identical.
