Hi all, I wish to share my joy and little encounter when picking up my classic jumbo!
After hesitating for a month, I finally got my Classic! My love for the bag growing stronger. I have a few seasonal bag but zero classic so I figured that I should have at least one classic!
Also, very sweet of Chanel to send me a birthday card.. I'm totally..
When I walked into the boutique, my SA show me 2 new piece of the Jumbo caviar. One with the hologram #17 and other was #18 hologram. Both leather looks and feel very different. As discussed before in one of the thread mentioning bad caviar quality for new classic. Mostly feedback about the dull, stiff and matt looking on recent classic.
The #17 I saw in the boutique looks rich, puffy, shiny and softer. The #18 looks stiff, not as shiny and not so puffy. I immediately choose the #17 one obviously (I believe most you gals will make the same choice as me)
My SA however told me that the latest classic are more stiff, not as shiny and puffy. She do advised me to take the #18 one because it will keep it shape well for long time. She's helpful enough to show me the older classic display piece (showroom piece) that leaves stretch mark and slightly out of shape on the side due to softer and shiny caviar.
She also mentioned that when you lift the flap lots of time over the years, softer caviar will have more obvious stretch mark on the folding part of the flap (above the back pocket).
Well, I love both and I could accept the #18 classic as it is not really that dead looking caviar so I took her advised. I am happy to share the #18 hologram caviar with everyone. Please enjoy and feel free to input feedback about the #18 caviar.
Note: I took all the picture without flash light.
Thanks for viewing
