Thank you!!! Honestly these photos don’t do it justice, not the best lighting! I’m in Canada so the small is $7875... Plus 15% tax where I’m located :shocked: (I felt sick when I initially wanted it lol) Major investment but so worth it!
I think that’s the stage I’m in right now I purchased one right before the increase so this would be my first bag after the latest increase. I’m debating if I’m still mad about it or if I’ll just suck it up one last time bc it’s just so pretty

I’m debating buying the CF but like what colors can you wear with this bag? Is it gray enough to wear with black?

I wear a lot of black and gray, so that was one of the main things I kept in mind when purchasing. The SHW makes it totally wearable with black - and gray. Here are pics I took this morning all at the same time in four corners of the same room.

Thank you! It looks like a sea foam color in many of the photos which I would consider to be a light color but it really changes depending on the lighting. Very hard to tell without seeing it in person.

Changes a LOT! Which I love. But it’s definitely not anything like the Tiffany blue, which is done in lots of variations. I know many people are fans of that shade. I’m just not, which is why I waited so long for the right “light blue”.
 
Do you see this as a light or dark colored bag? I have seen some photos of this color as quite dark (even darker than you first photo). It’s a really pretty color nonetheless.

Depending on the lighting, it changes. I would characterize it as a muted slate blue-grey color bag. It alters between green-blue to more gray-blue, but I would not categorize it as a gray color. Under bright sunlight, it looks like a pale blue.
 
I would return it if you’re looking for something closer to the bright Tiffany blue as Chanel seems to bring this back a lot. But I think this color is lovely and more neutral. So it depends what you’re looking for!

I also ordered a 20C medium in the Tiffany blue - I'll see which one I prefer though I suspect I will prefer the more saturated color of the Tiffany blue. This color is not really blue, green, or grey and for some reason I find that to be difficult for me to style. I also think I prefer light gold/gold hardware to silver.

I have the 19C blue mini, which I found difficult to style with my outfits. I wear very little black or true white, mostly various shades of beige, pink, gray, blue, green, and yellow. Do you see this blue to be difficult to match with a mostly neutral/colorful wardrobe?

Do you see this bag as a good neutral color? I have the 19C Tiffany blue mini (a very saturated light blue) and it’s actually difficult to style with my wardrobe (I wear a lot of beige, color/prints and almost no black).
