Deciding between Chanels and Hermes...

If you are considering Hermes, only because you are going to Paris, then No to Hermes. If you've been wanting to own Hermes for a long time(just like me), but didn't have chance until now, then BIG YES to Hermes. It's just too much money to spend to buy Hermes bags if you are not head over heels with their bags.
 
Buying a Chanel bag in Paris is pretty special too!!!

So my vote is for Hermes (only if it's something that you love) and if they don't have what you want, then get a fabby Chanel!
 
Ja'dore: I would vote fore Hermes too if you're going to Paris.
^ ITA.....Sounds like you really want one..and you'll be in Paris..so I would def do it....You can always get more Chanel bags later...but when's the next time you'll be in Paris? ..and to get the 'full effect' by purchasing there!!!!! Let us know what you decide..good luck!!!
