What a long journey! Placed an order for the 20K beige CCH several months ago in 2020, and then tariff wars occurred and boundary borders closed, during the unprecedented time of Covid. Fast forward 4+ months later, and I finally got the call! However, the call was to inform me that Chanel had stopped production of the original colorway I had ordered, but that the first shipment of a new seasonal color in the CCH had just arrived, and would be my replacement, so to speak. I had a mixture of emotions, but seeing the photos I was ecstatic! Especially learning the surprise that I was #1 on the list (I'm never #1), and this bag was sold out, and the mile-long list was closed. Here is my 21P light brown/caramel Coco Handle :heart:. So different in different lighting (distant natural light on a cloudy day/natural lighting next to a window on same cloudy day/under artificial bright lights).PhotoGrid_1612914122164.jpgPhotoGrid_1612914224207.jpgPhotoGrid_1612914299445.jpg

Gorgeous! Congrats! Did you say “light brown”? Do you mind to share the reference code? I’m on the list too but mine has not arrived yet. Hopefully soon. :smile:

It’s lovely!

Is it just me though, but does the shade of 21P caramel appear to be darker and cooler on Coco Handles? And it’s warmer on the mini flaps and classic flaps? Or are they the same shade of caramel?

Thank you! Although I have only ever seen the caramel minis and CF just in pictures, I will definitely say that it's tricky with this color. It will look one way in certain lighting and different in others, which is my impression of the minis and CF in pictures as well.

I think a good resource to compare the color would be the 21P thread. So many goodies on there (which could also get one into trouble)! :angel:

You might be able to get away with it by wearing the right shade of color clothing, almost like a trick illusion:smile:

Thanks @Venessa84 ! I really want to enjoy her soon, but lately it's been in the news a horrible "trend" of women being targeted and robbed of their luxury handbags both out walking AND even while in their car. Some things are just getting so out of hand. At least, I guess, this will fit mace.
