You read it right; we’re going to talk about one of our favorite topics. The Chanel XXL Bag, which was introduced a few years ago as the biggest Classic Bag ever made in history, much bigger than the Maxi Bag. But now there is big news and it’s not a rumor. Chanel has created 2 sizes of the XXL Bag; one is bigger than the other. So let’s talk about the details:
So how are we going to call these bags? Because both are named the XXL Bag. One is smaller, so let’s just call the small one, the Small XXL Bag (a bit weird right).
Take a look at this image to see what we mean:
The small XXL Bag is much bigger than the Maxi Bag. I also think that the new size gives us more difficulty in deciding which bag to choose. In the past, there was just one option: the XXL Bag, but now there are 2 sizes available. So how can we make the right decision which of the two XXL bag to choose?
I think you should just get the biggest size of the XXL bag if you are looking for an oversized handbag. Maybe you can try it on to check which one feels more comfortable. Maybe the small size is better due to your height. Or maybe it just looks better on you. But in general, you are shopping for an XXL bag right? So why not just grab the biggest one.
These two handbags has not differences in sizes but also prices. Obvious the small version is cheaper than the large size. So how much is the price gap? Just to give you an indication:
The small version is priced at $5800 USD and the big version is priced at $6100 USD. So the gap is just a few 100 dollars, while there is a clear difference in sizes. If the price difference is only that small, then I would go for the biggest size.
Size differences between the Chanel Maxi Classic Bag, Small XXL Bag and the Large XXL Bag
So what are the size differences between the Maxi Classic Bag and the two sizes of the XXL Bag? Let’s make a comparison:
The Chanel Maxi Classic Flap Bag is measured 9.1’ x 13’ x 3.9’ inches.
The small size of the Chanel XXL Bag is measured 9.4’ x 15.4’ x 4.3’ inches.
The large size of the Chanel XXL Bag is measured 11.2’ x 18.3’ x 6.5’ inches.
So there is a big difference between the small size of the XXL Bag and the Maxi Classic Bag. The gap is so big that it is not comparable.
The differences in backpocket
The NEW small size XXL Bag has a Mona Lisa Pocket instead of the Trolley sleeve pocket of the large size from the 1st release.

Are these a classic now, will they continue making them?
Hi Aarthi, yes and no, they’re classic, but from experience we know that Chanel hasn’t considered them as permanent yet, so they can still change, add a new size or remove one. They could discontinue them in the future
Why would they remove the zipper at the bottom of the back pocket which allowed it to slip over a suitcase handle?
Hi Anna, they removed it, not sure why. Perhaps this is the size that they want people to carry.
