So pretty. Congrats.
That subtle purple irredentist shimmer is gorgeous right?!

Soooo hard to try and capture for a picture. I tried really hard to showcase it… these are the photos I was telling you I kept forgetting about. I didn’t feel they did it justice though. You really have to see this iridescent effect in person, for those who haven’t.
…And you really can’t see it until the light hits it.
I love my little Hershey’s bar :love: ! Glad you are keeping:biggrin:!

It didn’t capture well, but if you look close at the pictures, it is legit sparkling! The areas of leather that look like white dots or texture, thats from the shimmer that the camera can’t pic up.

Your pictures are sooo much better than mine! I feel like this was the sleeper beauty from the 21A collection that no one is talking about. :coolio:

I also got the chocolate mini a couple weeks ago...it grew on me.

No don’t say that... no competition here, we are all winning:cool:!

Completely agree!!!!!

Your pictures show the color so well! It almost looks black in mine...(taken inside during the afternoon)

Phone cameras process certain colors funny. Even my iPhone makes it look black, it’s really strange. The color does darken in low light, but never looks black to me. I think that’s why some passed though, they never got to see the real beauty of it. I always take my bags outside in the sunlight. Sooo many of Chanel’s leathers have shimmer that you would never realize. Learned this from my first black 2.55 reissue, beautiful golden shimmer in the sun.
 
Well I'm officially done shopping for a while. Chanel collections come by too quick and cash isnt unlimited...unfortunately ...

Got my 21a grey zippy to pair with my 21a grey 19! Owned a LV zippy before thinking I would never want the Chanel one. NOPE. So true about getting what you want and never settle. I ended up selling my LV empriente zippy and finally add this beauty!

I have the same feeling. I have 2 LV ZCP and i love it and I never want the Chanel one. But never said never. I just bought dark pink Chanel 21A and I don’t love my LV anymore. Trying to sell it now.
 
It’s been a challenging time of late with my Dad’s health & given my preoccupation with it all, I just wasn’t planning to get anything from this collection even tho the Metier is always my favorite. Well my lovely SA (who’d been gone for a while on maternity) messaged me one day to say hello and let me know she was back & ask if I needed anything and there was really only one bag that really sang to me this collection. Turns out her store had just one so I figured kismet, and treated myself to it :) I adore how special & unique this cch is and couldn’t pass it up when the exact size & handle color i wanted was in store waiting for me to take her home!

So sorry to hear of your father’s health issues. Happy that this bag came along and provided you a little break from your worries. She’s beautiful. Congrats and prayers for your father. :hugs:
