medallion or bowler???

dolcesen · Oct 22nd, 2008, 04:23 AM

hi, i am struggling!
should I　choose　black medallion or patent gold bowler？and, is patent gold the same as metallic gold?
i had the picture of Linsay carries it, just wondering if they were the same kind.
this is lindsay's version:http://www.bglam.com/uploaded_images/chanel1-782505.jpg

This is tough... I love them both.

dolcesen · Oct 22nd, 2008, 04:29 AM

are they the same kind? patent and metallic gold??
and, which one is more versatile?

They're different. I'm thinking metallic gold is more versatile since the shade of gold is muted. However between the gold patent lux bowler and the medallion, my vote goes to the black medallion

black medallion

Wow, they are such different bags. It really depends what you're looking for. The bowler is flashy, fun and hip...the medallion is understated and classic. What will you be using it for? Do you have other Chanels in your collection?

i agree with echo_23 it depends alot on those questions cuz for me i would say medallion cuz im not in to the gold version of the bowler, i like more the blue color than this one, but if you have other black bags or you want a gold bag or something then that would change my opinion.

Is the luxe bowler even still available??

A gold patent bowler was available early today from BlueFly. I'm not sure if it's still there though. It was selling below retail at $2,000. Other than that, I think these are only available from consignment shops or eBay.

I was never a fan of the medallion, sorry. So my vote goes to the bowler.

I would choose the Medallion.

Sweet_Jasmine · Oct 23rd, 2008, 05:51 AM

IMO, the Medallion can go with anything.
I've seen Lauren Conrad carrying this bag everywhere and
it looks really nice.
