Such a beauty!
Between the flap and Antigona, I assume you will use the flap as your crossbody. To my knowledge Antigona strap is only shoulder length. In flaps, it would need to be the jumbo which fits a good amount and has a strap long enough to crossbody. For me, I am almost 5'5, crossbody is too long. It hits too low and the size and structure in caviar doesn't lend itself to be worn that way on me. A med flap would be perfect but the straps are too short ☹. I recall you mentioning you are taller and often wear heels so that might work for you. I just wanted to mention it in case you are not aware.
Regarding the black bag dilemma, a caviar for regular use and a lambskin for occasional use would work. I heard the older flaps have sturdier lambskin but it would probably take time to find something in a condition acceptable to you. I agree the lamb is much more luxe. It is my favorite Chanel skin. But I also take pause using my lamb pieces so I am not sure if I should buy anything else in this skin. It would have to knock my socks off for me to pull out my credit card these days.
I am guilty of having a couple of art pieces in my collection[emoji4] I will be of no help.
Love your thought process. I need to take a page from your style book. [emoji5]️
