And!!!! I got a red lamb Chanel as a possible replacement for my red caviar!(Funny how I'm jumping up and down about a bag and I'm like a dead eyed cod fish about a car.)
My current bag is a single flap but I haven't been able to find that particular red color in lamb. So, I researched other red shades and found a double flap that is the same color.
So now I have a dilemma: what's more important: lambskin or keeping the roominess of my single flap?
HELP!!! What do you think???
(Here are pictures. Unfortunately my iPhone isn't picking up the true perfection of the red from these bags. It's a deep true red with just a hint of a blue undertone. Gosh these bags are sooooo gorgeous! I wish I could make myself keep both. Lol!)

Wow, this is like the duel of the red flaps!
Not sure how to advise you on this one, Sparkle, because both bags are drop dead gorgeous. All I can say is that you know you don’t like caviar. So I thought, based on that, that the caviar flap was only staying until you found a suitable replacement. So the question is, is this lamb double-flap the right replacement?
I’ve never had a jumbo, only reissues, so I don’t know how different the capacity is between a single flap and a double. I know capacity is one of the things you don’t want to compromise on, so I think you need to put all the stuff you’d carry in the single flap bag into the double flap and see if it works. If this lamb jumbo is the right material, size, and most important, shade of red, then capacity is the only question left, right?
Oh, and your dead-eyed fish comment cracked me up. I’m the same way with bags vs. cars. The heart wants what the heart wants!
even though it's also stunning.
So, I went to the Lexus dealer to look at the RX350. I took my trusty Max Mara with me today so she went along for the trip. This is so an on-the-body bag. It just looks like a box sitting here. But I get a TON of compliments when I carry her. Makes me think of getting a different color but I do want different styles for work and I never carry this for play. 
I still like the Cadillac SRX. Argh! But, I think I'm going to get the Lexus because 1) it's a better car 2) the 2015 I was looking at is deeeply discounted and 3) I don't care about cars Lol! So I should get the one that is most practical. I need a car that can last another 10+ years because I just don't ever want to buy a car.
