thanks. The only setback is that it is the old chain, Any of you prefer the new chain more? I thought new metal chain make the bag more 'youthful' looking. Does the old chain make it an antique?

I think both chains are great. The leather in the chain is such a classic and doesn't make it look old at all. I think you made an excellent choice!

Thks kaka & Onyxbear, at least i don't feel buyer remorse now, cos some of my friends said it looks old with the old chain. I like the old chain too....more & more. Btw, can you advise me on how to store the chain, ie. put it under the outer flap or just let it stay loose as it is? I m worry to mark the leather.

Thks KellyLV, that's what i thought, to get a always classic for my first Chanel. I used to like LV a lot, not until recently I switch club, i got the same denim LV bag you got. But there were so many ppl ard carrying it, make it a tad too common....
