Calling all White Chanel owners!

[phoebe_0526]

My mom told me her Cambon White tote with black CC turning yellowing. But I dont know if that happened to every white bags. She purchased it when it first come out.

That doesn't sound good

I have had it happen to a number of designer bags...Gucci and Dior, etc (all purchased in the early 90s). I was told by a SA at Dior it has to do with the bag in the light / UV rays and the glue products that are used on the bags over time this glue has a reaction and it plays a part in the bag yellowing. I current have three white Chanels all bought this year and I pray to God they do not do the same thing.
I have a Gucci that has turned yellow evenly and looks more cream than white - so I still carry it....
Your concern is a valid one.

I wonder if the dark white bags will have this same problem?

I had a white caviar Chanel bowler and it turned yellow you could really tell when I wore a white shirt, I would never buy a white bag again.

I have a white Chanel rock and chain, I haven't really inspected it lately. But last time I looked it still looked good. I'm bringing it to Chanel for a cleaning tomorrow.

My white cambon I have had since Jan of 2004 and not a single bit of color changing yet. I bought a white caviar reissue this summer - too new for any noticeable color changes.

Yikes I was just getting ready to buy a white caviar flap now I am worried! Anyone else?

this season's dark white classic flaps look cream coloured to me, so even if yellowing does occur, i don't think it'll make a huge difference.

What size does the dark white classic flaps come in? I was told there was only pure white available now ... does it come in the medium size or only jumbo?

the dark white (blanc fonce) classic flaps came with the new bijoux chain only i think? not the traditional straps. The classic flaps with the traditional flaps are the true white ones. I'm pretty sure there were both medium and jumbo sizes for the dark white though! HTH

 

[Iluvbags]

I have a white jumbo caviar, a white cambon reporter and a white reissue and none of them have yellowed.

 

[Lv2shopp]

I have the jumbo white classic flap, got it about 6mths ago. To soon to tell if it is turning yellow, UCK!! It better not.......

 

[Luccibag]

I think the yellowing is mainly on white patent bags.

I have 4 white/ivory chanel bags and none have changed in color. The oldest one is 3 years old.
