hi all- i need help or maybe a push as to which direction i should go. i'll be getting my 1st (possibly only) chanel soon (m/l classic flap, black with ghw) and need some opinions. i fell in love with lambskin but think caviar may be more practical so if you had the following two options, which would you choose?
Option 1) Get a caviar flap and get a lambskin accessory (cc holder or coin purse) for a few hundred dollars more to somewhat satisfy my love for lambskin
Option 2) Get a lambskin flap- instead of caviar, add a couple hundred more $ and get lambskin--it's what you fell in love with (is lambskin thaaat much more delicate and difficult to take care of? a lot of ladies purchase beautiful lambskin bags and i figure if it's that hard to take care of, not that many people would purchase them)
DH says i should get what i fell in love with and not settle with caviar but then when i read to him posts about lambskin scratching easily and looking old fast and how some ladies regret getting lamb, he backtracked and said get caviar. he says don't spend thousands on a bag only for it to look old and get ruined so easily, it better look nice forever. so he reluctantly suggested getting a lambskin accessory to go with a caviar flap. ha ha. i'm wondering if i should just suck it up and get lambskin...i'd be terrified of ruining it though. is it true you can use your finger to rub out scratches? i would use this bag for weekends and going out (not carrying it to work).
so ladies, please help, option 1 or option 2??
