Boutique SO anyone?

In 2011, H produced verso bags for its Candy collection - fun candy colours external and internal!

Yes exactly! I have a Candy Birkin verso from 2012 (made in 2011) from the store, Rouge Casaque exterior and I think Bleu Thallasia interior. They make these fun combos from time to time - no horseshoe stamp as it’s not a special order.

medium CF brown SHW - keep or sell?

I think you should keep it. You don't really see that many brown classic flaps & it's is such versatile color, perfect for everyday.
You can always save up and buy the black CF in the future.

Thank you, I really hope it works for my lifestyle once I bring it out more often! Yes, at the rate Chanel is increasing their prices, I'm pretty sure I'll get my money back later on if I keep its condition well enough.

Which looks better on me: Carnelian, blue agate, or onyx?

Onyx, agate, carnelian, and chalcedony are all similar and have approximately the same hardness of 7 or 6.5-7. They are fine for daily wear but with care. They shouldn't be exposed to things like cleaning substances, and they can possibly scratch or crack, so take off before doing things that could cause damage just like you would any fine jewelry.
Hi! In the end I chose the carnelian 10 motifs. The blue agate is a nice contrast and pop of color against clothing but when worn close to my face, it just didn't work with my skin tone; I needed something warmer. I wanted to exchange for the bracelet because I still loved that pop of color but the boutique didn't have it in the darker, translucent stones at the time.

Since you are deciding on a bracelet:
- color: i think both will match with most wardrobe palettes. Will you have a chance to go try on the blue agate? The stones can vary a lot in terms of translucency, darkness, and undertones. Also, sometimes the stones within a piece may not match perfectly. Don't know if this will bother you. This wasn't a huge deal breaker for me unless it was very obvious. Best way to check is to bunch all the motifs together in a little cluster and compare them side by side.
- durability: as stated above, both are equally durable
- will you be using the bracelet as an extender to a future 10 motif? This might impact the color you choose?
Thanks for the info.
I wear mostly neutral colours in cool tones (black, grey and navy) and mostly black so at first I wanted Onyx but then am afraid that it will not pop on my black clothes. I don’t think I’ll get a 10 motif necklace, I prefer the 1 motif and maybe later the 6 motif necklace.

First Chanel for a guy: Filigree Vanity Case vs Boy Bag

Hello there i did end up getting the small boy bag, although the 19k seasonal flap is beautiful both remaining stock at my boutique has some kind of dent / scratch on it :frown: and it is quiet noticeable since the flap part is smooth. I don't think with frequent use this bag will age well. Good luck on your bag hunt

Cheers
Thank you!

LV at Realreal

I also would never purchase LV or another luxury item from TRR if you were concerned about authenticity. When I have sent items in for selling they have had issues as other posters described and seemed unfamiliar with well known brands such as The Row, Chloe, Moncler, which inspired no confidence that the same authenticators would be able to spot fake LVs or other goods.
