I love a light beige bag, but I'm quite picky about getting the right shade of beige too! I'm not a fan of white bags. But it really depends on each person's preference and wardrobe.
I see yes, it’s so hard for me cause what I want is more of an ivory/ cream color and not super white, which is similar to a top handle mini light beige, beige I am picky too about the shade but love beige as well :)
 
Hi Dear All,
If you only have to choose 1, which one would it be, which one can get more wear and easier to match :smile:
Hello, have you chosen a color and which one? I am still considering. I tried the white classic medium classic flap in store today and fell in love! But of course white color scares me. Even the SA was a little hesitant and said color transfer will happen inevitably. She has not come across yellowing but color transfer will happen.

Anyone else has any other thoughts of white caviar leather and its durability. I would like to have one to wear during spring/summer over light colored dresses and coats. I have a black CF jumbo size and a caramel 19. Then I have a Lady Dior in cherry red. Would love to add a light colored bag. TIA!

I am a huge lover of white bags and would always choose a white over a beige. I personally think that white bags are easier to style as beige ones. And also it is so much harder to find the perfect shade of beige. That said, I am also looking for a beige bag. But for me it eather has to be a dark beige or a sand shade. I also don‘t like the classic Chanel shades of beige.

I recently bought a white caviar wallet on chain. The SA also warned me about colour transfer. I don‘t think the white caviar is more prone to get colour transfer, but I think many customers might not be aware how to care for a white bag, so the SAs will warn them. I bought many white bags in the past years and never had problems with colour transfer. Some of them I used very often. If it happens and I get e.g. Make-up on my bag I will clean it immediately. I use baby wipes.

Good point! I am quite careful with my bags too. I do not go thrashing them around and usually careful about what clothes I am wearing. I was in love when I saw the white CF yesterday and tried it on. I have added to my list to buy this year. Thanks for your suggestions!

I really want a white Chanel but I’m torn between the Trendy Woc which is lambskin in white or a CF in white caviar. I worry about color transfer but I’m OCD and baby my bags. Are all your white Chanel bags caviar or do you have any in lambskin?

I only have one other white Chanel bag, the other bags are other brands and leathers. My other white Chanel bag is a vintage Mini Square in lambskin. It is 30 years old and still in a very good condition! There's no colour transfer. Of course it got some signs of wear over those years but all in all it has hold up very good! It really took my fear of white bags :D The positive thing about caviar leather is that the colour might come of "longer" as on the lambskin where it might sink in quicker. But I am also considering adding another lambskin white bag to my collection, because white lambskin is just devine (a Lady Dior in Latte).

Ok so maybe I should really consider the caviar leather in white then since I plan to keep whichever white bag I buy forever lol.

Hi dear,
I ended up getting the caramel mini instead over white or beige. But I would definitely get white over beige for myself, more like an ivory or cream shade :)
