Agree with everyone else, two totally different bags and you'll use them for different occasions. In fact yesterday I took out my Black 35cm Birkin for a work meeting since it's great holding files and today I switched to my black jumbo Chanel flap for a more casual look. I have them both in silver hardware but honestly if I had to do it over I would get the black Birkin in GHW, it's such a classic and gold is so in now! Don't worry about mixing metals, I love it!
