The Trendy CC is beautiful! I saw it in a rich green color before and it was stunning! Of course I’m sure I'd go for black . Because it’s lambskin you’d probably have to be more cautious using it. What helped me decide what to do was really thinking about what I wanted to use the bag for (special occasions, work only, everyday use). I knew I wanted a casual, everyday bag, so in the end that’s what helped me to choose the Boy bag. Good luck with the decision. Let me know if you decide to keep or return it .

I wanted an every day Chanel bag really, so the classic flap in caviar would be better, but I’ve had my eye on the Trendy for a couple of years now. I nearly bought it in summer 2018 but held back because I wanted to sell my jumbo flap first. I will let you know my decision. I only have a week left before the returns policy runs out!
View attachment 4571280 View attachment 4571280 So, after a ton of work locating this elusive new bag, I’ve ordered both the large and the maxi in the navy tweed. Of course, I need to pick one and return the other.
Oh, this is so tough!! They’re both GORGEOUS. The large is great because it has a crossbody length strap, and the maxi is great because it fits a ton and has a vintage cool vibe about it. I guess I have a ton of bags in the smaller size, so I’m leaning toward the maxi.
What do you guys think? Which do you like better? Which would you choose, and why?

I’m not into big bags but I’m really loving the maxi. I can see it carried under the arm with a sort of cool vibe. The smooshy leather would work really well on a very large bag.
They’re both surprisingly light. Of course, when loaded up, it depends on what’s inside, but the weight distribution on the maxi is really perfect. Even with a laptop inside, it feels fine. I like how the maxi is a big beautiful soft bunch of tweed that hugs the body, but the large is a gorgeous bag, too. It’s hard to tell in these photos, but I think they both look fine on me. I’m 5’7” tall, for reference. Decisions!!
I'm not that into big bags but I love love the maxi one in that exact combo! I'm only 5'2 so I lm not sure if the maxi will work for me... But it looks great on you!!
Thank you so much. I feel lucky... I think 5’7” is a good height for both large and tiny bags. But I think the maxi would look great on you too because it kind of molds to the body...

Was that bag really difficult to find? I haven't been able to go in to try it. What do you think about the material? Do you think the tweed will pill easily?
Oh, both of them were SO hard to find. My SAs have told me that these bags are sold the moment they arrive in the store, In fact, most are reserved for their regular customers.
I’ve never had a problem with tweed bags. I have a tweed mini from a couple of years ago that still looks brand new.
Damn! I guess it's gonna be impossible for me to find one then! Have you decided which one you'll keep?
Not yet. I’ve been going back and forth all day. I’m leaning toward the maxi only because I’d originally wanted a work bag. But the crossbody strap on the large makes that one so tempting!!
Pretty blue.
I saw this bag in dark pink today and I liked it more than I thought I would. The sizing is a little confusing to me, though. The size I saw was 4600. and I believe it was the same size as your blue. Do you mind me asking if this was the price of yours and do you consider this the small? My SA is very sweet but she also seemed confused about the upcoming sizes and prices on this bag for the upcoming collection.
