Hi,

I'll be heading for the Chanel boutique in Heathrow mid-August with the intention of getting my 3rd Chanel (one's a holdall).

I have a black classic flap in lambskin with silver hardware. And it is absolutely PERFECT!

But I'm scared to use it absolutely everyday and probably should've got the caviar, but there you go

So, what shall I get next?!

I need a long shoulder strap - some of the handles on other bags are too short for me (I'm 6' tall) so the flaps are ideal really.

Over to you
Oh, and if you have pics too, that would really help as I am still pretty new to this.

TIA

Bump!

Sounds as though you'd like a caviar flap or something you can use daily.

I prefer lambs for the look and feel but understand the ease of upkeep with the caviar; I have two of those and am fearless about using them -- and one is white.

Not knowing your style preferences, the best I can say is look and see what appeals to you -- like love at first sight. If you love it when you see it, you will love it later -- that's been my experience. Good luck and happy Chanel hunting!

Thanks Jmen

Trouble is, the main boutique here doesn't have a great selection for me to look at (plus there's a slight language barrier!).

Ah well, I'll just hope for the best when I get to T3.

The caviar jumbo flap will also be perfect, it has longer handles.

to show u pics im gonna use ones from the reference library hope they dont mind! so, if you like flaps, get a jumbo classic flap it can carry alot and longer strap i like this patent one either burgundy or black o caviar also:
if you rather have other type of flaps, I like the In and Out on, though this is one its like glazed lambskin :



OR if you want a TOTE type of bag since you already have a flap you should go for a tote that its cute as well there is the Diamond Stitch on the left:


or PST or GST another classic just thta its open top:


well HTH, these are pics take from the reference library! hope they dont mind, you know who u are ladies! love your bags as you can see! lol
