So I picked up my first Business Affinity out of this collection in black, and I’m obsessed with this bag and am considering getting the grey BA as well. For those who have seen it or have it, is it really light? Do you think it would color transfer easily? And do you feel this shade of grey could be worn year round? Thanks so much!!!
 
OMG. I was able to score a white CF from 21B. I am so happy. Will post a picture when I receive it. was not planning to buy any this season but we were meant to be together.
Congratulations!!! You will LOVE it!
Can’t wait for the photos! I still cannot decide whether I want a white CF in lghw or shw…… Help!! On one hand, white with shw is usually a true bright fresh white whilst white with lghw is usually a more off white that may age better and show dirt/yellowing slightly less? My senior SA advised lghw for that reason but I’m so torn.
My new So Black Classic flap !! Medium ! Soooo excited to hv this. So in love !!

Congrats! It’s a lovely combination, did you manage to see the black with rose gold hardware? Seems like it’s not that much of a hit with the members here as much as I thought it would be, or perhaps stocks hasn’t arrived much?

I got the grey one today. It is not that light shade, more like elephant grey.

Congratulations on scoring such a stunning bag!!! I learned during my search to get a white cf that it’s not easy to find and it is more popular/wanted than I thought..
The white flaps across all the past seasons were basically the same, meaning same leather type (shiny caviar), same hardware (except 20B had silver and upcoming 21K will have silver) and same color code.. people have noticed some slight variations across the seasons in the size of grains and very slight differences in the tone.. but it’s basically the same bag and I say if you love it just ENJOY it, it’s the prettiest bag I’ve seen :loveeyes: but just to give you an idea here’s a nice comparison a member here (sorry can’t remember who) posted just for you to see the difference.. From what I’ve seen, 21A and 21B has grains similar to the 20B in the below photo.. Atleast mine is :)

Hi! Thanks for sending this photo for comparison.
At least now I know that there would not much be of a difference then. Just scared that the upcoming one would be better but I think I am happy with this one. Can’t wait to wear them after lockdown.

I would be biased because generally I prefer gold :) the light gold is very beautiful and subtle.. Good luck deciding!

I understand how you feel but if you love yours try not overthink.. otherwise Chanel will drive us crazy with all these new bags every 2 months :laugh:
 
Hi! I would say 21A and 21B has more of a yellow undertone and is more an of an off white/ivory. The grain is also more visible and it has less shine. 21s has a nude undertone, is „whiter“ but still not a „white-white“ and is shinier. Greets

Yes! Everything you mentioned here is true. Definitely, shinier but not white white. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I prefer this one then so will definitely keep it.
