Have to respectfully disagree, as they are two different types of bags. The cc’s are classic, distinctive and dressier; the reissue is more casual and the closure has been copied by so many people that it’s not immediately recognizable as Chanel (if that matters).
The classic re-issue is much nicer because of the clasp (that’s how Coco Chanel designed it), but I like the leather interwoven chain on this one.
My small classic chanel flap with silver hardware is my go to bag.
