Chanel Classic Flap Bag

The main difference between reissue 2.55 in the classic flap 2.55 are:
1) closure/locks:
Classic has the double CC turn-style lock, which, personally I like more.
Reissue has the MM lock which means its a rectangle shape and not the double cc
2) the handle:
the classic has leather interwoven between the chain links
the reissue has an all chain handle
3) leather:
The Reissue2.55 uses a different type of leather, that is distressed calf-skin
4) flap:
All of the reissue 2.55 have a double flap, whereas the only the small and medium classic 2.55 have double flaps
5) size:
Reissues are different than the sizes on the classic flaps
the Classic has 4 sizes:
%u2022 mini
%u2022 small 9" W x 5.5" H x 2" D
%u2022 med/large 10" x 6" x 2.5"

Chanel also produced an Classic XL jumbo that's discontinued now.
