Hey ladies,

I just received the paraty python shopper (tote), (not the regular satchel one) in khaki. I love the color and its beautiful. But I was actually going for the black satchel one, but unfort. its sold out here in Austria. Now the store, where I got the khaki one, still has the black shoper/tote... Now I cant decide.
I love the color khaki, but a black phython bag is something I will have my whole life long? But then again the shopper is pretty big, very big actually compared to a the satchel (I mean the satchel katie holmes has in case I am a bit confussing :) )
What should I do? Should I keep the khaki and wait till I ever see the black one, maybe abroad sometime, or should I get the black big bag?

Thanks for your help in advance!!!

I personally believe that the python isn't really a forever bag since it is quite fragile. I think both colors are gorgeous but the real question is tote vs. satchel. my opinion is that the satchel will test time better.

hi,

I just got a khaki python paraty and I love it very much! I think it is a more versatile colour as you can wear it year-round! I couldn´t imagine myself wearing the black python in summer, and it´s too bad for such an expensive bag to stay half a year in its dustbag...

please see my reveal, maybe his will help!

The tote looks too big to me - keep the one you've got

Yes, we need pics.

Here u guys have the picture. It's a pretty big bag....but the leather is stunning.

Juda · Oct 21st, 2009, 04:04 AM

I would go classic - classic color black and classic Paraty (satchel)

Lillemy_74 · Oct 21st, 2009, 06:09 AM

First of all, it's a gorgeous bag! If you like the shopper (sizewise), then I think this colour suits it well. Makes it look a bit smaller. However, if you really want the satchel, then I would say wait and see if the black python satchel turns up. It's a lot of money, so you should get what your heart really desires

(That said, if you can buy both, then keep this and buy black later

)

ladyblunt · Oct 21st, 2009, 06:12 AM

something that came into my mind while I was reflecting about which paraty to get was this: if you are not 100% sure and happy about the bag (whilst asking yourself if it was the right decision), then it is NOT the RIGHT bag for you.... And just so you know: Chloe in Munich, Germany still got the black python satchel, I´m pretty sure it is the same retail price as in Austria (2250 EUR), and they also ship to Austria... Or you might wanna call the Chloe boutiques in Paris, they also do an international shipping! So if you´re not really really happy, try these alternatives (just because there is only one boutique in Austria which carries Chloe doesn´t mean you have to stick with something you´re not really sure about)!

yes, lillemy, you are right: it really is a lot of money and one needs to be 100% sure for that amount...

mona_danya · Oct 21st, 2009, 07:38 AM

Its beautiful but obviously not what you REALLY want. Get what you really want!!

bag*mad*bags · Oct 21st, 2009, 12:46 PM

i vote black python!!

SaskiaS · Oct 21st, 2009, 02:17 PM

hello ladies!

thank you for your advices!

The thing is, I cannot exchange this bag to the satchel - I can only get this tote in black. I decided on keeping this bag.
Yes I could ask Chloe Munich to ship me the black Python one, but I would still have to keep this one, as I will not get my money back. And the store were my mother got the bag for me has hardly stuff I like (they only carry like 5 chloe bags each time)...

The Satchel is "only" 2250 ladyblunt? I thought it was around 2800 euros.. as the tote was above 3.

Anyway, I really thank you girls for helping me out here.

:)

I agree its more about satchel vs tote, and the satchel is a better choice
