Hello everyone!
For reaching a certain milestone, I wanted to buy a serpenti Bulgari in yellow gold without diamond BUT I saw Chanel hobo caviar in light pink and I immediately fell in love with it. To clarify, I already have a Love bracelet and the Chanel classic flap in black. I’m afraid that my love for the hobo will fade away over the time, and I might regret buying it and not using the same amount of money for jewelry.
I didn’t want to post this thoughts in the jewelry forum as I’m quite sure they’ll vote for the bracelet
Do you have the hobo? Is it perfect for everyday use? Is it worth it over the Serpenti?
Please let me know what do you think
Thanks!

Not a Chanel girl here. (I love the history and have a CF, but I'm no collector or frequent buyer)
But I vote for the Bvlgari! It is a stunning piece, and if you haven't tried it on in person, I highly recommend! It's quite unique too, not something that everyone has. ;)
In my honest opinion, seasonal bags can come and go, but iconic jewelry pieces (like classic bags of the Chanel CF, and H's quota bags) last a lifetime!

Personally, I would choose the bracelet over a seasonal Chanel bag. I think your concern is valid that in the long-run the bracelet is a better choice. However, which do you think you will get more wear from the purse? Maybe think of it as cost per wear as well and see if your answer is the same.

I don't have a great jewelry collection and I don't even crave for a big one. I consider my bags as jewelry.. lol:biggrin:
I would suggest if its long term and a bag, its better to consider one of Chanel classics.

Against this particular seasonal bag, bracelet would be a better choice in my opinion.

Wow! Every single input voted for the bracelet even though I’m among Chanel’s lovers!
I think I would not hestitate if the color of the hobo was beige or brown, but because it’s seasonal I’m afraid it can’t be worn everyday.
Thank you a lot everyone, I will definitely post a picture of the Serpenti if the matter is decided. Thanks again!
