Wait, this looks so different from other photos...Now I'm confused by the various shades of green now. Someone posted the same bag before it looked like a true emerald green :confused1: Am I seeing things? Am I going crazy? :panic:

From what I’ve seen in stores, there are two greens. There’s a beautiful emerald green that I’d love to own and then there’s another shade that’s not so nice (maybe grass green?).

It probably looks different in different lights. I think there is just this green and the VERY dark iridescent green which is way too dark. I'm going to wait for a better green :)

Did you get the 22a carmel

I have 21A and 21K, which are different tones and different color codes.

I have not had a chance to see 22A in real life to be able to compare it with my 21A. However, from the pictures others have shared, 22A appears to be slightly different than 21K/21P despite the same color code. Not obvious to the eye unless the bags are side by side.

Would love to see more comparison pictures of all the caramels if anyone can share!

The dark beige this season is so beautiful. The caviar leather is really good and the smell of the leather is sublime! My other classics never smelled like this before!

The dark beige does change with the light. I would say it is closer to a taupe color irl than “beige”. Here are some comparison photos.
1st Photo - From left to right:
21S dark beige (not iridescent), 22 dark beige, etoupe Kelly dog bracelet, beige De Weimar. Lighting is fluorescent light inside the house.
2nd Photo:
21S and 22A in shaded light outside
3rd Photo:
21S and 22A next to a window inside

I hope this helps someone who is thinking of purchasing this color. I think it’s stunning and the perfect shade of taupe.

i also just bought the 22a dark beige CF today at duty free and will pick it up when I leave the country. I’m so excited! I was stunned that it was in stock and honestly the color is MUCH PRETTIER in person than in pictures. I personally prefer it over the beige Claire as I feel it is more versatile and can be both casual and dressy. If you are in doubt or have a beige claire and wanting both you need to get the 22a dark beige cf if you can get your hands on it!! It’s definitely a winner in terms of the perfect beige/taupe color!!

ps.I bought this overseas at a duty free as I’m traveling and they didn’t ask for my customer information so I only received a printed receipt. Can I phone in my information somewhere to have this purchase logged into my account?

I was so excited to receive my Twist Buttons small bag over the weekend, but then I saw a dent across the front of the bag, which I think is caused by the flap as the caviar leather is so soft. Now I wonder if I should ask my SA for an exchange or it is something I should live with. For those of you who got the same bag, do you have the same dent issue? Would it bother you? Thank you.

I had the same issue with the my melody flap (same material) and ended up returning it the next day bc I hated the dents in the same area. To me the material is very thin too. Totally diff from what you think of as caviar which I know is the case for seasonal bags but I thought that in particular was so flimsy. I have no regrets with that return.

Get the 22a dark beige cf if your store has it. It’s freakin beautiful irl and changes color between taupe and beige depending on the lighting! Prob my favorite shade of beige/taupe from Chanel to date ! Not sure what others mean by it won’t match clothing. I wore a black top and jeans and it looked perfect dressed up or down! To me, Beige claire is too yellow in comparison with the 22a beige so I prefer the 22a

22A Emerald Green! :loveeyes: Love this green! But C19 in lambskin so I’m unsure how it will wear. Anybody with experience with a lamb C19? Thumbs up or down? I’m on the fence :confused1:

Thumbs up! How pretty! It’s coated I think, so not so delicate. I have two lambskin C19s they aren’t as delicate as my minis or trendy… so far from it. My 19s are pretty carefree. Keeper!
