I'm trying to fullfill my Timeless Chanel collection before the price increase in November 1st.

Should I get a Jumbo Classic Black Caviar w/ silver for $2250 or
a black cerf tote with gold CC for $1995?

I own several classic flaps already but no cerf tote. But then, I know I'll be spending more on classic flap in Spring/Summer 2008 collection simply because new tdf colors coming out.

What do you think? TIA
 
NORMALLY I would have said jumbo flap, hands down.

If you already have several flaps though, you might want to get the cerf.

Me personally, I don't like the cerf and would get the jumbo but that's because I don't own any flaps yet.
 
You sound like someone who loves flaps. Would you use the Cerf enough to justify it? I would rather spend a little more on a bag I will use than less on one that will sit around unused.
 
Thank you ladies. I don't think I want to buy both. I love flaps. Recently I start using clutches & just added a kelly bag. I'm lusting for a Hermes birkin & so hard to get one! Therefore this explain my lust for a cerf tote?

The price of the jumbo will be in the $2600 range in next month is outrage. So I'm thinking should I get it now?

Have anyone own a cerf tote & use much? I have never tried on a cerf tote yet?

I have the Black w/Gold CC Cerf and it is my favorite and most used bag out of ALL my bags :love: .... I thought I wanted a Birkin at first also and couldn't justify the price and also didn't like the whole buckle/flap thing which is how I ended up with the Cerf in the first place, has such a similar look! I also bought a Chanel Kelly instead of the Hermes :upsidedown:

Oh, and I also have the Cerf in Dark Brown w/Gold CC's
 
I love my flaps but I find my Cerf (Chocolate/dark brown with CC closure) heaps more convenient for daily use. Really depends what size of bags you need for everyday wear :flowers: ...or if not flap if you're looking for more an evening bag?
 
since you already anticipate getting more flaps in the Spring, why not get a "winter" bag...the Cerf?
I especially like the one with the CC closure...good luck with your decision!
