As a man my opinion is lamb is more luxurious but cow hide is way tougher just depends on what item and what the task for the item is BTW I don't know how I ended up on this video but good video

It is a good review on both Chanel bags and does help men (like me!!) in what to get for their wife ( girlfriend) as a nice gift for that occasion. It really is hard to choose when you do not know on the product and the price you pay, when it comes to choose a Caviar or Lambskin. This is very helpful in your video in showing and your view on both bags!!!

I can not thank you enough for this informative and thought provoking video! I have been vacillating between caviar and lambskin for weeks!!! And after watching your thoughtful and amazing video I have decided on LAMBSKIN!!! I am now comfortable and confident in my purchase decision! Thank you so very much!!!

Nail scratch will easily get rid off, but it's very hard to get rid off if the scratch is made by sharp particles. Anyhow, I personally prefer the caviar as it's durable and shiniet with ageing.

I think I'm team lambskin. Chanel is ultimate luxury and lambskin enhances that

I love Caviar waaaaay more. I go for durability. I need something I can actually wear without being super cautious.

when she scratched the lambskin my heart just stopped

I don’t even like designer handbags (more of indifference to it) but watching you scrap that lambskin just gave me anxiety 😭😭

Mel, thanks for being a bro and scratching your chanel just for youtube. This really validated my feelings.

Team- caviar. I am a Chanel lover too and lately start acquire lambskin. The look is so luxurious & shinny and upscale. Love, love your video and always looking forward.

I sold my lamb jumbo not because of surface scratches but because after few wears I had scuffed the corners - I replaced with caviar and I use it more now. I might get a smaller version in lamb for special occasions. Great video X

Gosh! The title almost broke my heart! I was like it's she gonna ruin 2 amazing Chanel bags just for the sake of a video???!! You look stunning. Loved the top +lipstick combo. Lambskin bag definitely looks to flattering.

I'm more convinced that the Lambskin is much more lovelier . I would prefer a soft buttery feel ,and I'd reach for it more than a stiff structured bag . Both bags are beautiful but the Lambskin is more sophisticated looking too.

I purchased a black lambskin Jumbo with silver hardware and I absolutely loved how it looked and felt to the touch. If I had seen this video sooner, I probably would have felt more comfortable in using it. I was so afraid of it’s large size, weight, and lambskin leather that I returned it. I think I will look for a smaller size bag in lambskin instead, but that bag was a stunner!

You’re probably the only luxury vlogger I watch from start to beginning. It’s always worth the watch!😍

This was extremely helpful. Prepping to purchase my first Chanel and this provided great info in the lambskin vs caviar debate. Thank you!

Mel, you do the best video! You are also very brave for doing the scratch test on your beautiful lambskin bag! Thanks for sharing sweetheart!xoxo

I own a jumbo in lambskin, I've been careful with it and true, the scratches come off pretty well.

I have a caviar boy bag and lambskin square mini, I think they’re both amazing!

I just got a Medium Caviar Flap. I loooove my bag!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

I needed this. Everyone keeps saying get caviar because its more durable but your bag looks fine and its been yrs however maybe the newer lambskins are horribly made or something because ppl complain about severe scratches and wear within a fee months

I think the lambskin looks so much richer. The Caviar looks kind of plastic.

It’s been half a year and I still can’t decide which leather for my next buy! I have a lambskin mini, and eyeing the medium classic. Caviar def wins for practicality but lambskin just looks so so gorgeous

This video is super old by the time I’m watching it but it is so informative! All of my chanel’s are lambskin! I personally think that the caviar in bags looks plastic like? Especially now we’re in 2021... the prices are crazy and I don’t want to pay over 6k for a plastic hard looking bag! I however have just bought another classic flap in lamb and I am now terrified of scratching it since the prices have gone up even more! Love your videos! Xxx

Thank you so much for scratching your bag just to demonstrate for us! I am buying Chanel coin purse just for personal use as my wallet to store my card and banknote because its compactness and wonder which I should go for. I think I would buy Caviar as it suits my daily use.

Honestly the best comparison video I've seen! and def going to buy the lambskin.. the Caviar to me just looks worn out and dull! thank you for this amazing video please carry on xoxo

I'm so glad I came across your video. It's very helpful! I'm debating between lambskin and cavier. To be honest, I love the look of the lambskin for all the reasons you stated. I felt quite discouraged because so many people prefer the caviar due to its scratche resistance. I didn't know that the lambskin surface scratches can be clean up. Thank you, for such an informative video! I feel a lot better. 😄

Thank you for this video! I recently got my first Chanel purse and it is a mini flap in lambskin which I did not anticipate buying ( but the color was amazing and the caviar just looked more basic in comparison)--

Oh well, I'm looking at $14,000 in handbags! I opted to buy an "inspired Chanel" lambskin (not a replica, but an inspired -- without a logo of course), so I won't be crushed when it shows signs of wear. If I had spent $7,000+ (with sales tax), I'd have to select the cavier for durability. I agree with liking the look of lambskin when it is new.

I like natural makeup, but you would look so pretty with eye shadow. great review btw

Thanks for the video! :) I'm team LAMBSKIN! I only have one HG bag and that's the m/l black with ghw - I managed to find one on the vintage market and I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!! It's my one and only Chanel (for the rest of my life!) LOL! Thanks again for the in depth video!

I'm team Lambskin, it looks so much more luxe to me & I love that shine😍

Thank you so much for your video! I've found it really interesting and helpful. I adore my medium lamb skin and was thinking to get the jumbo in caviar but am confident that I will be able to buy the lambskin. Thank you again for the side by side comparison as seeing the colour difference was helpful too x

Thanks so much for your review! I'm planning on buying a Chanel (first one!) and I love the idea of lamb skin and it's great to see it isn't as delicate as people say. Thank you!!

I bought the Caviar GST tote just a few months ago and I am way more casual with that bag. Sure the lambskin is pretty but Chanel is Chanel no matter what. The single scratch on my other lambskin gives me heartache everytime I wear it, so as for the price, I'm team Calfskin/Cavier all day.

Extremely useful and informative comparison! Thanks for showing the scratch test-you’re so brave! You have such beautiful skin, by the way.

Hi Mel, I may be only watching your video 5 years after you've posted it but i just wanna say great thanks to your superb content here with regards to the Chanel bag as one who has yet to make any purchase and still in the midst of doing my research!

Loved this comparison!!! I was so worried about your scratch test lol

Thank you so informative I'm going to buy my first Chanel bag in couple of weeks . And you helped me a lot thanks again . I'm going for Caviar

This video is what I needed!!! I've been doubting for a while now and it definitely was a matter between head and hard.... So thank you for this in dept comparison and honest advice.

Thank you so much for this video, I finally got a jumbo in the lambskin with gold hardware. Initially got the caviar calf skin but didn't love it that much and had to do an exchange for the lambskin. I agree with your points.

It is hard not to cry when you scratch.... 5:27 almost killed me. Very useful video, thank you very much!!

OMG I now own a brand new Chanel Classic Medium Flap in lambskin. Thanks to your very informative review, you and Super Dacob changed my mind. I intially bought a WOC in caviar after watching millions of videos however I was still lusting for the lambskin. Yes the caviar is durable but just looks dull and dry, well in my opinion. So I sold it and saved up for a year and bought this new baby 2days ago and am loving it. I won't lie it does scratch but mainly on the flap but you know what, I love it. This video was one of the best. Keep them coming... xxxx

Thanks for the helpful video, very appreciative of well thought out videos. Even though my small collection is split 50/50 between lambskin and caviar, I think that I am more of team caviar as I don't feel as though I have to worry about the items quite as much, I am still cautious with either but lambskin stresses me out a bit more.

I just love the look of the lambskin. This is an expensive bag, I want it to look luxe. Sure the caviar is more durable, but if I am running errands, I'd probably grab my NF. My CF is for lunch with ladies, afternoon tea, or a date night.

I utterly enjoyed this video! Very informative and well presented! I think I am team - want them both ☺️

I’m twitching seeing you scratch the bags!!!! Thank you for putting on this video for us! 🤣🤣

Team Caviar!!! Woopwoop! I had a lamb in the Soft Tote it was in Beige, worst decision ever made in life! But sold that and puting the money towards a jumbo beige clair in Caviar!

Hands down the best comparison video! Great job

I got a classic flap in cavier and I have no complaints about ruining it because it hasn't has any scratches but I have to say I take care all my luxury bags. I have been thinking of getting a lambskin woc. After watching reviews I decided on a lambskin for 3 reasons. 1. Since I already have a cavier I want to have a lambskin. 4. Woc is small enough that I don't worry not being to protect it. 3. I take care all my bags. 4. Lambskin looks more luxurious and timeless. Thought I should have at least 1 lambskin. On my next one after a WOC will most likely get a cavier.

What a great video, Mel! So informative. Thanks for sharing. By the way your top is so beautiful! Was hoping for you to stand up just so I could see the whole look. What a beautiful color on you! 👏🏻👍🏻😊

I don't like the classic flaps in caviar. To me, it feels like plastic. I really wish they made them in calfskin and goatskin like the Boy bags. I love my Reissue in calfskin. It's so carefree.

still watching in 2022! Thank you, awesome video!!

The caviar looks really weird and grey in your lighting. In real life it really does look a lot better and glossier. For the jumbo size I would definitely say caviar. Lamb is if you want to let it sit in the box or up on your shelf. Especially if you are paying so much, you don't want a scratched up bag ṭhat you always have to baby

I only have 1 lambskin chanel and the rest are caviar but I both love them, and I need to purchased jumbo lambskin chanel. Love the vid I got more ideas 😘😘😘

can u do a review of the wear and tear of both bags again as the bags should be almost ten years by now

Wow, amazing video! There are tons of unboxings and light reviews on here of these bags but nothing like this about the wear! Really impressed that you did a scratch test and I had no idea it could come out! I was team lamb before, but now I'm team lambskin 200%!!! :-)

Fantastic! This was so insightful and interesting. Love your channel. Thank-you!

I have a Lambskin Trendy CC 19 in Vert (basically a Tiffany blue)...I knew nothing about the difference of lambskin and caviar when I made the purchase. I do like the look of the lambskin, but for my next one, I think I will try caviar so I can compare. This video was very helpful

Lovely comparison video. I own both types too, I've got three caviar (black mini square, black M/L, classic clutch) and 2 lambskin (beige M/L and red boy WOC). You're right when you say you can never stop at one...my husband has me on a ban right now!

Exactly as you've described - I find caviar practical but my heart tells me lambskin. But based on my lifestyle, I should go for caviar since it is more 'versatile' since you can dress up or down with it. :/ Decisions, decisions...

Excellent 👌🏻 video! Definitely team Lambskin at heart ❣ but Calskin in mind. So hard to choose but most probably will go for a Lambskin one for my first purchase 🤗

Team Lambskin here! I think that semi gloss buttery Black has way more aesthetics than the dull black Basketball pebble leather in Caviar. Hmmm now to drop 10k or 600 on a 187 Replica? My AMEX is already on life support.😢

I have both & I have them for long they less for ever my lambskin used mostly for dinners & when I go Paris but still look great for 5 years and caviar i used most of time

Great video Mel!! I am team lambskin! Just love that beautiful shiny& buttery look. However, you are right different batches - this yr lambskin didnt look as shiny and puffy. But that being said i still love lambskin :) xx

I am team Caviar all the way! But on the classic flap, I think lambskin looks much better. I was lucky enough to score a soft caviar on my flap bag so it was not as grained as normal and I love it! It's like a hybrid child of lambskin and caviar.

Hello Mel :) Could you tell me the weight of lambskin jumbo and caviar jumbo?

Super useful video!!!! Can't believe you scratched your purse! That's professionalism =)

Loved it. Great comparison. And I have too agree, the lambskin looked so more luxuriust . Thank you for this vid. And you looked stunning too hun👌❤ Have a blessed Sunday. xoxo

Wow this video is mind blowing! I plan to purchase my first bag soon and you have totally opened my eyes. Thank you so much!!!

Great video!! Your skin looks amazing, what's your skin care routine?

Another great vid!!!! Love how detailed your videos are and very explanatory!! Love lambskin Chanel bags 😍 Keep up the great content 😃👌🏼❤️

I definitely plan on caviar for my first Chanel and probably a few after it before I try out lambskin

Thank you so much for the awesome video Mel! I have been contemplating adding a Chanel bag to my collection and was having a really hard time deciding which leather to choose and your video really helped! You are awesome!

I’d like black caviar with silver h/w and black lambskin with gold h/w. The more casual options coupled together.

This is a fabulous video, Mel, and so helpful. I am not on either team with Chanel leather. I love them both. I tend to buy a bag for a purpose and they both have there place, depending on what I want to use them for.

Hi Mel, thank you for doing this. It's an eye opener. Great video! I am actually for team caviar but I do have calfskin as well. But you know what I think I will try the lamb skin next time. Just an FYI, the caviar if you think it's too worn out, you can bring it back to Chanel and they can fix it. I had them work on my tote that was scuffed at the corners and now it looks really good. It didn't seem it got scuffed at all. They weren't able to fix the creasing though. And yes the lamb skin looks much nicer than the caviar. Oh quick question, what do you think would wear better in terms of structure through the years? Thank you again.

im team caviar.. too panic to baby a lamb ^,^... Really love your video.. thanks Mel.. and u have a really nice complexion too...

Thank you for the informative video! I want to say this lipstick looks amazing on you , such a beautiful color! Can you share what brand it is ?

But its so hard to get a brand NEW Caviar Chanel bag now.. :(

Thanks for the comparison Mel, very detailed. Love your top❤️

My vintage flap is lamb with gold hardware. My WOC is silver in caviar. I really feel that lamb is dressier. I love them both but I'll reach for my WOC and use it as a daily grab and go. Your videos are great and very informative. Thanks for sharing.

I prefer jumbos in the caviar and the WOCs and smalls in the lambskin!

Was considering to get a bag in either of the leathers and this is helpful! Thanks Mel.

Mel, another great video! I enjoyed this comparison video and it helped me because I am thinking about buying my first Chanel bag. Keep up the good work with your videos! I am team lambskin! I was scared when you scratched your bag but thanks thank you for the demonstration.

This is the type of video i need. Thank you so much for the info! This helps a lot with my decision.

What a great and informative video thank you I have been considering buying a Chanel bag for years now but have never bitten the bullet because I did have enough info and couldn't decide between the two leathers but I think I have made up my mind. Thank you! :)

I thought I would get caviar but after this I definitely want lamb! Thank you I feel so much better about it now. Xxx

Hi really informative video. I am thinking of buying Chanel classic medium black but I was confused which one should I want to buy but watching this video it gives me great help I will go for Lambskin because I think I am buying Chanel medium more for weddings, dinners and family friends get together parties,, not for daily basis so yea I will buy in Lambskin !! but will look both caviar and Lambskin leather bags at Chanel boutique at Bond Street London Also I bought last month the Lady Dior lambskin leather with sliver hardware and it looks so pretty I bought it after watching your review on Lady dior bag and now in my second wish list is Chanel classic medium Lambskin WGH but I will bought this bag in this month because prices going high so quickly, till July the Chanel classic medium was £3380 but now it's go up £3620 and it will go up in November again so yea that's the story of pricing.

Amazing review hun! You always knock it out of the park!!! ❤️👍🏻😍👏🏻😘

hi mel, great video :) i also have a classic flap in lambskin (approx 5 yrs old) and want to keep the puffyness of the quilts as long as possible - what do you recommend in terms of storage? do you keep your bag standing upright or on its side?

Love all your videos I would love a Chanel jumbo with gold hard wear.x

Hiya Mel , thank you for such a great & informative video ! This is just what I was looking for , I have my Beige Claire Jumbo in caviar & I am now saving for a black Medium/Large & after seeing your review I am loving the look of the lamb skin , it's stunning 😘❤️

i love the way you explain everything☺so helpful for me. caviar or lamb it wont matter. what ever your heart desire go for it.Thanks for making a wonderful video😊

Hi Mel, another great review. I was screaming noooooooooooo when you said "you will be scratching your bag". 😅😅😅 Totally agree with your opinion 😄 I am really not able to comment if I am team caviar or lambskin, I guess it depends on my mood. I realise there are times when I want to feel pampered, I will pick up lambskin and there are moments I feel carefree and casual, I tend to skew towards caviar. 😊😉🤗

It's hard to find new caviar skin. I'm trying to buy one but all the ones I find are used not new

what happens if your leather bag gets wet?

I'm thinking of getting the jumbo in caviar, then saving up for a lambskin in the medium. What is everyone's thought on lambskin vs caviar?

great great video even thou i am cannot afford to buy a Chanel Flap. i really enjoy watching this

Great review! Thanks for researching and sharing! Can't believe you scratched your bag! 🙀. It shows how you truly value your followers and viewers. It's very very useful and I believe you're the first to do this thorough review from a non-resellers point of view. More power to you!
