Hi! I am contemplating buying either a Cartier Love Bracelet (Small - I'm more into dainty pieces) or the classic Chanel Flap in Balck Caviar. I already have a black lambskin mini and vintage lambskin beige bag, which I love, but think due to the material/color, I tend not to reach for them. I have the Cartier small love ring that I absolutely love and was worth every penny in my opinion due to the cost per wear. I was going to save up for the bracelet and hopefully find the Chanel Flap at a later date, but now due to the price increase should I pull the trigger now or hold off? What's a better "investment" down the line?

I love both. But better investment in my opinion would be the Cartier bracelet.
Def cartier. I brought one four years ago and i have it on me everyday. Covid hasn’t changed my wearing it. Now the bag? I don’t wear it as it’s much more loud in your face, don’t want to touch the bag with sanitizer, and it draws less attention to me when I’m on the train.
Bracelet 100%. You can wear it daily and use it for years on end. The bag has no use at times and sits there without wear.
The cartier is the better investment. Whenever people ask this question, i always mark cartier love bracelet, BUT I, myself, keep buying chanel instead because I love it so much more than jewelry. Cartier also increases in price so if they are equal to you then go for cartier.
The answers to this thread made me happy because earlier this year I chose to buy a love bracelet over a classic flap 
Like everyone has said, go for the bracelet! I wear mine everyday and I just got a ring too lol. You will get addicted to Cartier

Cartier because you can wear it even at home and enjoy it all the time. If we aren't in a pandemic then I'd probably say Chanel classic flap. Cartier prices don't go up as fast as Chanel so it's better to buy that first, then Cartier after.
Could you sell your other Chanel bags, seeing as you said you don’t reach for them much, and buy a classic flap? Then you could get the bag AND the bracelet!
I got my Jumbo 6 years ago and though i love it and would never sell it, I rarely use it now (especially nowadays). I got my Cartier Love (regular size, YG) 2 years ago and it brings me joy every day (especially nowadays). Though I am a purse person more that a jewelry person, in this instance I would say - Cartier Love bracelet for sure!
I too prefer jewelry over handbags especially if you already have a few bags.
my feeling is I can wear jewelry all day long but can only carry a handbag if I go out which is limited anyway.
