Hi ladies! So I already came to you guys before with a similar question and ended up taking the So Black jumbo over the medium, but now the material is different.. :graucho:

I have the option of either getting a black medium caviar flap with ruthenium hardware for $3800 or a black jumbo caviar flap with gold hardware for $4500. I really lucked out finding the the two bags at such a great discount - they are both from 2014 and in brand new condition!

Now the question is.. which one should I get?

I already have the So Black jumbo as mentioned, and I do not have a medium at the moment... but I also have a lambskin boy bag in black with ruthenium hardware! Do you think the color scheme makes it way too similar? I just think the flap with the RHW is so beautiful and unique, as it was I believe seasonal? So either way I am going to run into similarities with either purchase. I think now it is more about how much of a deal I am going to get, as I am really in love with both purses and have been dying for a caviar flap.

Any thoughts?

(The jumbo pic I pulled off of google, the medium pic is the actual item I am considering)

Chanel seems to have had a lack of any gold hardware lately and gold is still popular in fashion. My vote is gold as it is classic and that's a great price. I think it's harder to find the caviar jumbo with gold these days.

Do you wear gold or are you a silver/white gold gal? That will come into play. Yes, you can mix metals but the gold is more showy.

Am I the only here who actually don't really like how the ruthenium hardware looks on the caviar leather?
My vote goes to the jumbo with GHW because that is one of my favorite combos when it comes to Chanel.
But OP should get whichever one you prefer. The m/l with RHW is quite unique and if that's what your heart wants, go for it!

They both sound very similar to what you already have and for me I would want more of a change, colour, design etc.

If they are the same size and colour it limits the amount I will use each or I end up having a favourite and not using the other one.

If you have your heart set on one I would go with the m/l as you already have a jumbo. I also prefer ruthenium or silver hardware on the black flap, I think it has more of a trendy feel to it. I guess that depend if you want a classical look or not.
