Balenciaga Pewter CP Dilemma!

dstar84 · Jul 17th, 2008, 06:37 PM

I really spotted this Pewter Balenciaga CP. Totally gorgeous color. and for a retired color, only $300 is, well I know, a steal. However, here is where the dilemma comes in, as many of you know, lol...The Cash flow is low for my "little unnecessary indulgences." So as practical as a $300 coin purse is lol, my solution is to sell my Chanel baby animals canvas clutch. Is this coin purse worth sacrificing for? Ohhh, the constant battle of what I like more.

do you have a picture of Chanel clutch? I can't really tell you which one to go for without seeing the pic.... i think this cp is definitely a cutie!

chinkee21 · Jul 17th, 2008, 07:07 PM

Yes, please post pic of the Chanel, so we can help you decide.

dstar84 · Jul 17th, 2008, 07:10 PM

Sure. This is the clutch.

dstar84 · Jul 17th, 2008, 07:10 PM

I know, two COMPLETELY different things. lol

are you sure this mini coin is only $300? if it's on eBay, the auction is still going and will probably end much higher then $300 - i think the last one sold for a BIN of $600...

dstar84 · Jul 17th, 2008, 07:41 PM

Yes, $300.

I like the CP better.

I don't care for canvas, even it is a Chanel. My vote goes to Bal CP, especially it is a PH CP!

Celia_Hish · Jul 17th, 2008, 10:12 PM

I will buy the CP esp it's pewter!~

CleoCouture · Jul 17th, 2008, 10:38 PM

I see the auction has been closed early. Did you get it?!

AnnieBinSD · Jul 17th, 2008, 10:42 PM

I hope you got the CP, it's lovely!!

chinkee21 · Jul 17th, 2008, 10:44 PM
