For anyone interested in this color, it's a bit of a brighter green than this picture shows! Probably because of the shadow.

Okay, so this is the closest Im getting to capturing the brown undertone (left side of the bag). But it is VERY hard as it is so little (my husband thinks Im crazy and cant see the brown undertone at all, and he’s a painter so he knows his colors
) Okay, and now Im going to stop talking about 20s red!
Mine is also MII, everything is good except 2 minor surface scratches in the front that I need get get rid of. Only one at the store so I picked her up thinking I can just buff it out, but it's not working well.
Other than that, puffiness/symmetry/stitching is fine, but not as soft as I imagined. Trying to decide if I should send it back or find a safe conditioner for it...
I would send it back if theres scratches!! You're paying too much $$ to settle - I honestly had a couple of SA call me after I already purchased so I dont think itll be hard for you to find another oneMine is also MII, everything is good except 2 minor surface scratches in the front that I need get get rid of.

But that's my opinion!
My SA showed me a 20B red, and it looks really red/brown in the picture. I’ve placed an order for 20s and waiting for it to arrive. Hopefully it looks more of a “true red”.
If this picture is what it looks like in real life, then I’ll be happy! I’ve placed an order for the 20s, and it should arrive in a day or two. I’m a little nervous because I didn’t get to see this in person before purchase. I think your husband is right, I don’t see too much brown in it. It’s dark red with very slight brown tint (I’m also a painter ) ❤️Okay, so this is the closest Im getting to capturing the brown undertone (left side of the bag).

If anyone see's the Medium classic flap in the green caviar with Silver hardware would they mind posting the style number? Would be much appreciated! 
It sounds like there are 2 reds for 20b. The dark red is the one that sounds like it may have brown undertones. There is still another “red” that may be a true red... at least that is what I am hearing.
I live 5 hours away so I would need to mail it back which makes me nervous. I am also afraid that if they mail me a new one, it will have a different flaw...maybe I need to post a pic here when I get home. Very small scratch and it’s not very noticeable but I can see it. I am just hoping it will eventually blend in and become less noticeable. I wish I live closer to Chanel or at least have better luck with finding a new bag in perfect condition.I would send it back if theres scratches!!

Thank you for the pictures! I honestly don’t see the brown . I think this is such a lovely red and I love the champagne hardware as well. I do not like the new 20B red, it looks very dull to me. I can definitely see the brown in the 20B. I now want the 20S in small size so badly but it’s sold out in the US ))): (I saw the 20S in small size when I was in Paris at the end of February. At the time, I thought I wanted a caviar bag but I have now changed my mind. Lambskin is sooo gorgeous. Lambskin bags are a lot more perfectly structured vs caviar. I like that as I’m pretty OCD)
You really have a lovely bag! I hope you will come to not mind the 5% brown that you see as I think your red is perfect!
