Just bought the red medium zipped wallet today❤️ Comes with a back pocket now.

Once again, the shade of red changes with dif lightings! I would say it is a true red..only when there’s strong lighting then it has a very slight tinge of orange to it!



Can you tell me what the item code is for this one? I have been looking for this size but haven't seen it anywhere. Thanks!
 
I must say I am underwhelmed with both red and burgundy classic flap this season. In store lighting, the burgundy is more of brownish to me and the red is less saturated red, a bit pale. I blame that to warm yellow lighting in store. Both bags seem to reflect the yellowish shade. The burgundy has to get a lot of light/sunlight to be a beautiful dark red, and the red should be seen in rather dark room so it will be a perfect deep reed. One is gorgeous outside while bleh indoor, and the other one is the contrary. Yes it’s confusing. I wish Chanel just make one red in between those two colors. I went home with the red instead. It doesn’t look dull against my skin.

Here is the red in a half covered balcony under gloomy morning light. I compare the real bag in this balcony with a picture a few pages ago from somebody who photographed burgundy in outdoor and they’re almost identical. One more thing, the pictures tend to capture more vibrant and shinier than the actual. I mean the color is not as vibrant as the picture.

Definitely you must see them in person. It’s very hard to explain and one sees the shade differently from others and both colors do change shade a lot really depend on the light.

I’m happy with my choice but unfortunately my hunt for red Chanel doesn’t end yet :sad:

I totally agree with your assessment. The lighting in the boutique doesn’t flatter either color. I was underwhelmed by the burgundy lambskin flap, but I did actually like the burgundy caviar card holder. I was interested in a burgundy business affinity but I don’t think the caviar of BA is treated the same as a card holder which has more sheen.
 
I was all set to not get anything this time, but I totally fell for the 19B beige shade of the medium CF after all of the photos were posted in different lighting. The LGHW really makes it special! It’ll also be my last Chanel for many years - only a few Saks Chanels aren’t leased yet, but most are, and I only buy the bags when I get double/triple points and 12-month 0% APR on my Saks card. :sad:

Thank you!! :heart: Not yet sadly, had to get it shipped to me from one of the non-leased stores so it’ll be a few days. The wait is gonna kill me :P
The wait is the worst! The beige is beautiful this season. I think it is one of the nicest beiges I’ve seen chanel make. I can’t wait to see some pics when you get it.

Do you know which locations are non leased?
 
Finally got my grey mini.. the grey really is stunning!! I just don’t like the quilt! It bothers me - looks so deflated. I’m so torn if I should keep this or return it. Really looks beautiful though..

But is it just me or the leather smells different? Funny? Can’t put my finger into it but it doesn’t smell like real leather. I don’t k ow it smells plastic or something..
