My mini top handle arrived today. I was originally seeking a red Chanel to add to my collection. In my opinion, NI686 seems more Bordeaux IRL than Burgundy in lambskin. Confused that I should keep it or wait for a redder red. Here are some photos in natural light for now.

I decided to keep mine…that the color I am looking for .it is stunning color . I have a couple burgundy outfits. And it matches perfectly. But you aim for red color then you probably need to make decisions lol

Its really a stunning color. Such a difficult call to make. I feel i will wait for the blue tone red but hurts parting with her. Gosh its so easy to buy a black bag.. lol
 
Hi ladies! Question re: dark beige cf….I just realized my CC is a light gold (bordering silver) compared to the gold hardware on the chain which is more yellow gold. I purchased this internationally at a Chanel duty free boutique (but now back in the USA) exactly a month ago…what would you do? I honestly would not have noticed until I saw something on Instagram about it so prob not that noticeable but when you actually place them next to each other it’s def different.
Has this happened with other Chanel classic flap bags?

There was a whole thread on this, all/many recent seasonal CFs have this hw discrepancy, incl my small dark beige (21A pink also seemed to be affected). I also haven't noticed until stumbling upon some of those posts. It doesn't bother me that much personally (and I'm easily bothered), but some folks felt very strongly about it.

Thank you!! I truly appreciate your input. Like you I honestly wouldn’t have noticed it either
 
Please also check the base of the CF, some of them recently like 22A does not measure up . i checked it at the boutique for the CF pink. When u press it , the base bulges out like there is a lack of a hard bottom. I noticed too the tone on CC is not as gold as it used to be in the past even it is mentioned as champagne gold but come on it looks more silver than even the lightest of gold. Very disappointed with Chanel quality recently. Guess will have to move on to Hermes now
