I prefer no obvious labels. I have a few Chanels, they are the reissue style, no CCs. Of course it's still obviously a Chanel, but a bit more low key imo. Bal suits me much better for every day, but it is nice to have a Chanel for dressier occasions. Bal can be dressed up, and I love both, but Chanel is Chanel for those occasions, iykwim? Some Chanels are more versatile; I have a distressed black caviar with distressed chain, and then a silver WOC. Even my black metallic is kind of rocker edge. My truly dressy one is dark silver 226. I think the CC flaps generally seem more formal. --- ETA. I got this mixed up with the thread asking Chanel or Bbag - I like bbags because they have a great style, ***colors, and leather, and are classic, yet low key - most people don't know them. And the bbag style suits me perfectly for every day.
