Hi Chanel Enthusiasts.
I’ve stopped buying Chanel since the pandemic (who needs more bags to grow mould?). In fact, I’ve sold a handful, put into savings, and am keeping a few that I find they are classic to be kept forever (and passed down to my princess).
I’m quite a red person (my current and last cars are red lol). I have two red Chanel bags currently.
I’ve no desire to add more Chanel mainly because I feel I have been there done that (at least to me). I’ve had owned CFs of all sizes (small to maxi), reissues of all sizes (mini all the way to 227), mini rect/square, Gabrielle, vanity case, GST/PST/PTT, half moon woc/bag, black/blue/beige/white/grey/pink, and some other models I can’t even remember, etc etc. They are all lovely indeed. But I no longer feel the need to own so many and I want them to be used, regularly.
I’ve bought at least 8 medium CFs in my active C days, in SHW/LGHW/GHW. Last standing is the GHW in black caviar. It’s the most beautiful piece of CF I’ve had owned. But, I don’t use it enough. I’ve been asking myself why and I believe it’s because it looks too formal in GHW. I want to wear a CF any day. Somehow medium CF in that combo doesn’t quite gel with my weekend mode.
Then suddenly boom, I saw a 12A red medium CF. Those who know 12A, know.
Does it fit into a more casual feel? It’s SHW obviously for that season. I wear my other red CF (jumbo SHW) casually too. I don’t think I’ll be tempted with any other red however we’re talking about 12A here. Ive been keeping my eyes open on this red for years. Thought not desperately seeking but now that it appears right before me, I have a chance to consider.
Do I sell the black to get this red or have both?
