Hi! I love Chanel Patent leather. In fact, it is my favorite. Especially, in colors. All of my bags wear beautifully tho I am careful with all of them no matter the material. The only negative I would say is with the black showing fingerprints. I just received my reissue 226 in black caviar patent and it shows no fingerprints probably because its caviar patent. Good luck! It is a beautiful tote.How do Chanel patent leather bags wear? I'm thinking about purchasing this tote, but I'm on the fense. Any input would be appreciated TIA

I did end up getting the tote. Excited to give patent Chanel a try!))
Sometimes time is of the essence in the Chanel world. Hope you decided on the tote or at least to give patent a try sometime.
I have a red Chanel patent and it is the most carried bag I have; it is also the only patent I have.
The patent is more durable than I expected. Since the bag you're looking at is black, you won't have to worry too much about color transfer.
However, I would be concerned about it being a tote. I know how I treat my totes and it is not charming. Totes have a rough and tough kind of life, and it wouldn't pair well with patents.
