Chanel Classic flap or seasonal? Need ur advice

[maxy]

I prefer seasonal bag cos too many carry the same classic, some seasonal bags are unique.

hello everybody. Its my first time in the chanel forum

I have decided to get me my first chanel! But i went to the boutique and while i was trying to decide on which size to chose (i think i was going for the medium one) i eyed another gorgeous bag.
They told me its a seasonal bag- i think Fall if im not mistaken inspired from Scotland. it does not have a double flap and has got tweed on the side. I will try to upload the pics i got at the boutique maybe you can identify it for me

The thing is-since its my first chanel-do you think the classic flap is the only way to go? because a piece like that never loses its value and with the prices rising each year its also considered an investment whereas a seasonal one does not??

Im torn!i know you girls know your stuff so please give me your advice i really need it Thank you!

Hi and welcome to the world of Chanel
At first congrats on deciding to buy your first Chanel bag!!!
And now to your question:

A classic flap is:
- timeless and classy, will always be in style
- goes with everything
- good investment, since price increases happened all will continue to happen for sure...if you want to sell it in a few years, it will hold its value

This seasonal bag in your pics is pretty, too, and like the description says: it's seasonal, available for a season - when it's gone, it's gone...
Classic flaps will be always available...

The thing is: I bought and will continue to buy classics like classic flap or GST or reissue, because they are forever, and for seasonals I'm not that sure... probably I wouldn't use seasonals after a while anymore... but my classics I will use forever...

So ask yourself if you will still use this seasonal bag after months or years? If so, then you can buy it, since classic flaps will be always available... but the risk is the price increase...

Good luck in deciding!!!

I would call myself still a little Chanel expert, there are members here who are really Chanel experts, I hope they chime in... Don't know the name of the bag, hopefully they can help...

I couldn't agree more with MaryJoe! I was quite in dilemma with my first Chanel and I am soooo happy that I got my black maxi caviar SHW.
But for a first Chanel, I would definitely go with classic! You may still find a seasonal purse you like on a preloved sale.
