Received the chocolate beauty today. It is beautiful but I’m 50/50 on keeping (pros: I don’t have this color, can go with everything, good size, bought pre-price increase; cons: I don’t get giddy when I see it). Should I keep or will I regret if I return it? View attachment 5129501

Have you taken it outside? In sunlight it sparkles… interestingly it has a very subtle purple iridescent glow. Before you decide, if you haven’t already, gaze at it in sunlight… If it still doesn’t wow you, I think that’s your answer ;). To me, it’s such a gorgeous chocolate color and the slight shimmer is just amazing. I keep forgetting to share my pictures of it.

Thank you for this suggestion. I will do just that! Even hearing you describe the shimmer and purple undertone makes it more appealing. :graucho:

Following! I might be getting the same bag but worry I might regret it later since I have mixed emotions about this color.

Did you find that they ran true to size? I reserved my normal Chanel boot size and these actually hurt my feet, I had to return them.
I wear a US Size 9 and I ordered a 39. I didnt know that it is typically recommended to size up for Chanel shoes. I had reserved it months ago and the SA had no other sizes available. I was such a nervous wreak until the shoes arrived but they fit absolutely fine! Might be snug fit with thick socks but I even walked around the house and they seem fine. Also they are lambskin so will eventually stretch out.
