I just got a call from Bal Harbour Chanel and a SA was calling me about a bag I was on the list since Feb!
Back in feb when I was visiting Hong Kong, I went to the Chanel boutique and tried on a beige flap bag I really liked. the bag is like a classic flap with classic chain strap except that it is wide-stitched (thus the bag looks younger than a regular classic flap), made of smooth calfskin, and it's roomier than a medium classic flap since it's only single flap but not as big as the Jumbo. however, i didn't buy it there since there were only 2 in the store and the both have some flaws.....so when I came back to the US I called the 1800 # and they told me Bal Harbour chanel have placed an order and will get some....and they did get some 8 months later!!!
I have kinda forgot about this bag....and now am waiting for the khaki baby coco cabas...i love the size of the baby cabas and the color of the khaki.....
But I am also tempted to get that beige bag! Was it a meant to be when I received this call 8 months later!!!??? the beige bag is also hard to find too since I actually thing the wide-stitched collection was done originally in 2003/2004 and they just re-make some now but most boutiques/dept. stores aren't getting any....
But due to my lack of funding....I must choose one only....for sure the beige flap bag is more of a classic choice, though it still won't fit my sunglasses and I honestly am not sure what color should I wear with the beige bag, the color is pretty but I am normally not a beige person.
The coco cabas is absolutely gorgeous and good size for my petite frame, not question about it, but would the coco cabas be too trendy and will be out of style seasons later?
I am torn about making a decision!!
What do you think??
