Default Red VS red, hybrid 07 Vs Patent 08

here we go again ladies, the battle of the month,

i found the jumbo red patent 08 is getting prettier and prettier thx to clkgirl, but i promised myself that i will only have 1 chanel red bag, aghhh and i already have a hybrid caviar med 07....please tell which one should stay???

i love the hybrid caviar med 07 because;
- i love the size where you can go from day to night, i can go from semi formal dinner to supermakets with this size, from dresses to jeans
- its the only caviar chanel i have, well except the white but it doesnt count haha
- and i loveeee the chain, something like bijoux chain but with tarnish finishes

i love the red patent 08 because;
-its soooooooooooooo prettttttttyyyyy i swear its super pretty maybe because its patent?
- i lovee when i look deeper into it, it looks like it has some transparent texture, i can see the veins of the leather but i has a transparent patent coating *sorry if i sound crazy*
- i am getting sick of the mademoiselle locks..maybe because last season i bought 4 chanels all in that locks hiks...i just had too much and start to miss the cc lock again.

ok please tell me why u guys love the hybrid more or the patent more, ow and should i get the MEDIUM patent or JUMBO patent?

minal: if you read this, which one is your patent? med or jumbo? and what are the 2 bags that u sold? *i read it from the other forum about this but i didnt remember which ones*

ok thank you so much ladies, any opinions will be wonderful thank youuuu =)))

I would stick with the hybrid cavier. I am not a great fan of the patent, though I do think the color of the 08 is nice. I just like the caviar so much better.

I'd stick with the hybrid caviar. It seems to work well for you, or I'd spring for a new 08 bordeaux patent flap if you really want patent! (jumbo is always my preferred size but its a personal preference)

I say the Red 07 Hybrid Medium Flap......but then I guess I would because I have the exact same bag!

I love the hybrid Caviar leather - it is soooo puffy and gorgeous! And 07 Red is perfection

Hi! I have the Jumbo! I went with the Jumbo because the dimensions are ever so slightly smaller than the regular Jumbo's (it's not an overwhelming bag at all), plus I know I can get even more use out of the Jumbo than the medium! I'm also trying to create my "holy quarter" of red/burgundy Chanel's haha... my '07 red caviar Jumbo, '05 red e/w, Burgundy patent goatskin Jumbo, and I hope to add a Burgundy aged calf reissue (either 226 or 227) to finish it off haha.

I sold my Red/Bordeaux diamond shine flap (felt the color was very similar to the Burgundy classic flap, plus when it comes down to it, I prefer the aged calf burgundy reissue to the diamond shine). I also sold a dark red caviar medium flap, because I have a lot of medium flaps, and I would generally reach for my dark brown one over the dark red anyway.

The hybrid red medium flap is definitely gorgeous (I have a white one, and it's a fabulous bag!), but IMO, the wow factor lies with the Burgundy flap (plus as much as I love the mademoiselle closure, I would have to say that I love a classic flap even more). In terms of size, I think the medium could be more versatile (day to evening, etc.) so I don't know haha, you could always get the Burgundy patent medium flap! Good luck deciding... there's no such thing as a bad decision here!!

I would stick with the red hybrid as I'm not a big fan of patent. Good luck!

I think both are gorgeous. I have the red hybrid flap in medium/large, it goes with so many things, it's such a versatile bag. I love the patent one too, but you have to be more careful with patent, I always worry aboyt color transfers with patent bags, even dark colors.

I'm not a fan of patent, but that burgundy patent is SO gorgeous. I'm afraid of colour transfers on patent though. I have the hybrid in black and I know how hardy it is. Which do you think will last you longer through the years and which will you not tire of?
