Thanks, guys. I'm loving my new baby so much, I can't believe I didn't care much for flaps before!
Everything in Chanels in Paris were in colors I normally don't like. Beige, white, or black. Beige I though were boring. White, I can't, since I'm very accident prone. So I was left with the only option of going with black, even though it's not my favorite color for bags. (I know I'm strange to be this way but I only owned one black purse my whole life. All my bags are pretty colorful)
So I kept asking the SA something like "Do you have this in another color? How about black?" (since they just didn't seem to have many color options anyways) My SA then tells me she would "bring" something from the back if I want a black bag and brought out this 2.55! I don't understand why they keep them all in the back but apparently that's how they do it in Le Bon Marche, as I saw another SA bringing out a silver one to another customer later.
With the black one in front of me and the silver one next to me with the other customer, I pondered of which color... To my sister's surprise, I chose less blingy black. I wouldn't normally choose it if it was just simple black but I thought metalic shine (almost like patent) was cool. And I though I should "grow up" a little and stick to simpler color this time.
BTW, they also had a gold one as well, so maybe you should contact them if you're interested.
