If you got 3 choices, and you can only choose one, which one would it be? Please help me with the decision making :smile:.

A. A vintage Chanel camera bag from Farfetch (I have yet to own a camera bag style purse).

B. A boutique-bought new Pochette Metis in the colour turtledove in the empreinte leather.

C. A Lindy 26 from H (not available on the official website now, and the preloved market doesn't have the exact one that I am looking for. So, it is pretty much - just keep waiting until the exact one shows up. Meanwhile, I can continue to save money. That's certainly a good thing!)

With Option A, I have never shopped at Farfetch before. How was your experience? Do they ship fast? Did your stuff come ok (e.g. not defective, item as described etc.)? Would you recommend shopping from their website? I am a bit hesitant to buy something so expensive online, without seeing it in person.

With Option B, is that more of a gray colour? Or, beige colour? Can't really tell from the website. I can go to the store to check it out next week.

Thanks for your help ;)!
 
I would go for A or C as I am not a fan of the PM and the other two choices are both classy and practical.
I find the prices of vintage in Farfetch are very overblown. But they are reliable. They work with reputable brick & mortar businesses. If you buy pre-loved from them (I have never done) you may want to make sure you know which shop your bag comes from.

I found that too - overblown prices, but the thing that makes shopping from them appealing is that duties and taxes are included. I don't like surprises. Now that you mentioned overblown prices, that got me hesitant about purchasing from them. Maybe I should just continue saving and hope one day the Lindy 26 that I am looking for will come.
