i think its a niceflap, and in white looks nice, but not sure what material is this, cuz if its patent, you have to be somewhat careful of color transfer, but it just depends the treat to the bag, in overall its a great find.

in this case then i think its great, since you already have a lambskin, and you have a white caviar as well then i think its good that you vary with a patent, so have no doubt now.

Mmmm, as drunky krol said, white patent is very prone to color transfer. Color transfer on a patent bag is PERMANENT, and nothing can be done to remove it (not nail polish remover, rubbing alcohol, Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, NOTHING). Chanel can't even fix it/re-dye it. So that's definitely something to be wary of. It's worth it if you can keep it clean and are really careful with your bags, but if you wanted to wear it every day without having to worry about it, this is not the bag for you.

Its very pretty, but I personally stay away from white patent. Once a color transfer happens its permanent. It looks like patent to me. I wish I could show you a picture that someone posted on here from eBay a while back, a white patent bag with reddish stains on it...very sad and disturbing.

It's cute, but I've had a bad experience with white patent... I'd save up and buy a white caviar instead. JMHO.

Really? T.T


I had this black patent jumbo classic bag that I got from my mom, (it's like 25 yrs old bag), and it teared out on the corners..........

I think I am the person who has to stay away from patent bags....

Thx for the advices~!
