Hi ladies, just spitballin' here with people who share my obsession: I am a big Chanel lover and I am lucky enough to have quite a lovely little collection. But it's all very, how can I put this...prim and perfect!
My collection currently is:
- black cav/GHW classic double flap
- beige cav/SHW classic double flap
- plum lambskin/RHW classic double flap
- black cav/GHW WOC
- red cav/SHW WOC
I also have a black cav/GHW long slim flap wallet.
So it's all very proper. I adore my Chanels, they make me feel so ladylike but recently, I've started to wonder whether there isn't something out there with more of a worn/slouchy/vintage vibe that might be perfect for me. It's not that I've lost my love of the stiff and perfect Chanel flap, but I'm looking for something a little more relaxed and worn. Has anyone else felt this way? I found this online, this is sort of the leather and colour I'm going for...

I want something bright and cheerful but not stuffy - something that might be a bag passed down from a chic mother or grandmother. Not too dressed up, workable on weekends with sky blue skinnies and an old breton tee. I don't know that it has to be pre-loved, I might just need to be looking at washed lambskin but in a new bag (I've never seen washed lambskin in the boutique so I'm unfamiliar with how it looks/feels). On the other hand, I'm not averse to pre-loved at all. I guess I'm not sure whether I want a 'new' worn-looking bag or an actual worn bag, if that makes sense?!
Your input and thoughts are always so valuable and appreciated
