Which Black tote?

jen0575 · Jul 11th, 2007, 02:07 AM

i am looking for a black tote to round out my collection of chanel bags and I don't know which one I should get.

My choices are the

Luxury by Chanel Patent Tote

or

Modern Chain Large E/W Tote

I am 5'3 and 100lbs.

My apprehensions is...

the patent tote might not be a classic bag and the MC tote may be too heavy for me

Please give me advice. Thanks

Here are pics for your reference

IMHO, MC tote

iqaganda · Jul 11th, 2007, 02:20 AM

MC Tote for me too.

Out of the two, I would go for the MC E/W tote. What about the N/S MC tote (it's not as wide as the E/W)? :) I'm probably going to get that. :)

I'd go with the MC tote, I love the design and I think if you are looking fora good tote, you won't tire of the design. If you are already thinking the patent maybe too trendy or not a classic, I'd say go with the MC.

MC Tote

Jen, I have both, and the patent Luxe is definitely heavier than the MC e/w. The patent is bulky under the arm and really not a practical bag. I bought it because I love the style and deal with the nuances each time I wear it.

Definitely the MC (non-patent) tote!

Modern chain because it's a classic and will never go out of style.

Patent is hot now, but it comes and goes.

Modern Chain E/W Tote

Modern Chain!! The reason is that the R&C is not leather, but vinyl...and that's just noth worth it, IMO.
It's a lovely bag!!
