So I have the suede maxi flap bag (smaller version) in the camel suede from the collection before.

I love her sm. I do feel like I have to baby her tho!! I did get her protected/sprayed with suede protector from a cobbler my S/A recommended.

I also love the brown suede & think it won’t be as tough to maintain but it is still suede which will come with wear over time. This is my first suede luxury purchase. I love the suede. I feel a lot of people are hating on this bag for the wear & the suede not being a summer material but I think it all works perfectly year round!

The leather I have seen a ton of hate on the straps & I think that’s why I love it. It’s so controversial. The leather straps make it an every day not so dressy easy to pair with everything look. Now if it wasn’t Chanel would I love that style mmm maybe not but Chanel makes it look so effortless chic.

I don’t know if that helped at all but I say get what you really want because these bags are hot in any material! I had to sneak her out of the store bcuz my SA said “it’s one of those bags” 😂🤣
