I'm considering the new red jumbo classic in red patent. However, I'm very concerned about color transfer, especially because I'm always in dark jeans.

Yes, you can get color transfer onto any color; red will show both dark and light color transfer whereas black will only show light.

This is such a shame. I was so tempted. Chanel has terrible patent. My Madonna Versace bag is Silver. I have worn every color jeans. I have never had transfer problems. It was such a beautiful bag. Back to caviar. I wanted the jumbo beige but I know that will be a disaster too. They should make the patent so there isn't color transfer. It depends what they use and how many coats of polyurethane they use. Thanks girls!
First, of all that is untrue. Chanel is pretty well known for not having a good patent. There's a thread on the purse forum about the different types of patent and how it was done years ago. When I purchased my Versace, I called many of the places that repair handbags, and Versace -- at that time-- was known to have the best patent. There were different ways to patent. I had a very light green patent leather handbag that was mint for over 30 years. There was never any color transfer at all, and it never cracked. My mom worked in the 50s on custom handbags. They were a notch below Chanel for the very wealthy. Patent was more of a problem because it could crack with heat and it definitely scratched. But there were not all these color transfer problems. Although, I would think a white/beige would have problems. Nothing is made the way it was.

Here's one older thread on patent

I would love to get a link to the thread as well. I have a Chanel patent bag that shows some color transfer, but the bag is more than 3 years old. So the newer bags may be less problematic.
