Dear lovely ladies,
I recently bought my first chanel: the amazing medium (226) matte black 2.55 reissue with gold hardware.
I would love to own a timeless classic for my next chanel. (Because it is difficult for me to save up for chanel handbags, I tend to treat a purchase as if were my last one ).
My dilemma now is, should I go for
(i) a workhorse type bag like a black jumbo caviar in silver hardware, or
(ii) an elegant and dressier bag like the light beige medium caviar in gold hardware.
The 226 size 2.55 is perfect for my needs, whereas the medium classic is on the smaller side. However, I already have the black reissue and I really like to have variety in my collection so I think the light beige with gold hardware would be a good option. The light beige would go well with my wardrobe. Im not too keen to get the light beige in jumbo because I think the colour looks best with gold hardware and in medium size, plus I worry about colour transfer on such a light coloured bag. I think deep down I really want a jumbo, but am reluctant to get another black chanel. Furthermore, I have many workhorse LVs, so the chanel could be used for dressier occasions. But why not get a great everyday bag that can enter my bag rotation you know
Do you reckon it is worth getting the black jumbo caviar although I already have the black reissue. Are they different enough to be hypothetically the only 2 Chanels in my collection? (Lambskin is not an option for me)
Life would be a bed of roses if I could get a dark grey jumbo (structured) caviar with silver hardware. Unfortunately I have heard that the grey jumbo caviar being released for s/s 09 would be the unstructured washed caviar, which is such a shame . Also, apparently my local boutique will not be bringing in the cruise navy jumbo caviar.
I know that ultimately it would be my own choice, but I would really love to hear your opinions.
Thanks so much in advance.
