IMO, the Chanel Cambon was overexposed by young girls with fakes so whenever I see one, that's automatically what I think. I think the style is really cute though and I would probably keep it instead of the LV, especially if you already have a lot.

I guess it depends on what you use it for. If it's just going to be a regular bag, then the Chanel is great since it's not absolutely huge. If you're using it for traveling or going to the beach, then the LV is more practical since it holds more.

Wow! Thank you for all your replies and suggestions. I know, right? I hope I can keep my all bags forever, but I can't afford it. Fact is, whenever I want to acquire something new, I have to part with an old one, unless it's a present to self - in which case I have to wait for an occasion like a birthday, xmas, etc -- 4th of July just isn't justifiable to Hubby LOL!!

That's a great idea, I haven't taken any pics of my purses - I should. This is my first post on TPF. I used to be a lurker, just content on "listening" in :)

Thanks again, you guys are GREAT!

I'd keep the Chanel. The LV is much easier to replace if you change your mind later on.

keep the Chanel cos the pink bag is no longer in production - LV Neverfull is very common

It's not a great time to be selling either one of those bags since they aren't particularly rare.

You certainly won't get much on the pink Chanel and the LV is quite good value for money brand new from the store or LV site (relatively speaking of course)

Can't you raise some $$$ some other way?

You know, I think Papertiger is bang on here. It is not a good time to sell and even worse than having to do so is having to settle for little money.

(I'd keep the Chanel btw, if you must sell one)

I'd keep the Chanel. It's much easier to sell the NF since there'll always be people looking for a pre-loved NF at a lower price than the ones sold at the boutique.

This isn't going to help you, but if it was me I'd sell the Cambon but that is just because I am not a pink fan...but I have the cambon in olive green and tan python and I still use it so if you love the pink go for it.

I don't remember who said it earlier, but prices for Chanels have gone up quite a bit so it would be harder to replace your chanel should you have sellers remorse.

So if you still love the pink...definitely keep the Cambon.
