Well, for what it’s worth, I am a perfectionist too and very detailed oriented.Thanks so much for your input.
I absolutely love the Trendy. It’s actually my favourite bag! However, the reason I don’t use it is because of the lambskin, and the corner wear that I’ve seen on other Trendys. I used to only ever buy lambskin Chanel bags (mainly classic flaps) and have owned many over the years - I also have a lambskin wallet - and no matter what people say, it’s definitely not as hardy as caviar, and it shows wear and tear much faster. I am an absolute perfectionist and love my bags to stay in new condition. Because of this, I can’t bring myself to use the Trendy as I would another bag. I know the Kelly wouldn’t be my every day bag but I’m happy with that. It’s a classic bag and I’d rather have it in my collection.
You made a good point about selling the 19. I am actually selling that too! I use it a lot so it’s probably unwise of me to sell it but I just don’t feel the same about it. I feel it has become very dated. I find the chains and logo too blingy and gaudy for my taste.
There has definitely been more interest in my Trendy than my 19.
However, my bags are just bags, just like clothes, non-durable goods. I don’t treat them precious or baby them.
I love my bags and wear them everywhere.
I would not let your fear of ruining something prevent you from enjoying what you love.
Bags are meant to be worn. A worn bag is a well-loved bag.
That said, I do understand some people view their bags differently, but I do want to share this thought with you.
The Trendy CC is a stunning bag. You love it and already have it, so for me, I would just use that gorgeous bag.
By the way, to answer your other question, Trendy CCs are coming out now as part of 23B. There are coming out in full force, all three sizes, many color options.
Good luck to you selling your bags and getting your new K!
