- Is the Large 42 practical as an everyday bag?
- Yes, if you carry a lot. It fits a laptop, a water bottle and a pouch with room to spare. The trade-off is weight and a soft body that slouches when it is not full.
- How does it compare with a Chanel Classic Flap?
- It is much larger and softer. The Classic Flap holds essentials and keeps a rigid shape; the Large 42 carries a day's load but collapses somewhat and needs more care.
- Is shiny calfskin durable?
- It is real calfskin, so it resists tearing, but the glossy surface shows scuffs and fingerprints and creases where it folds. Expect more visible wear than on grained or caviar leather.
- Can it be worn on the shoulder?
- The chain-and-leather strap is long enough to sit on the shoulder, and the bag can also be carried in hand. A full load makes shoulder wear less comfortable.
- What comes with the bag?
- Chanel handbags typically ship with a dust bag and authenticity card. Confirm the exact contents with the seller before ordering.
