I’m not sure if you found the perfect red, but I think reds are individual because it goes with what works with your coloring. My skin has a pink undertone so blue reds and true reds are terrible on me, but pink leaning reds and reds with orange undertones are very flattering. The same is true for nail polish and lipstick for me.

...HELP needed with this dilemma that has haunted me for YEARS (a little dramatic but I have thought about this for awhile)...

Which season Chanel Classic Flap should I get?​

It seems that 12A, 14B, 17B caviar reds in the classic flaps are very well loved within the community...maybe 12A a little bit more so than others? Since 12A was so highly sought after and loved by so many, I decided that 12A is the red that I was going to go for. From the pictures, 12A red had the blue undertone that I wanted and none of the orange undertone. So I set a specific budget and condition and decided that I will not veer off it. I saw plenty in the pre-loved market for this bag but they were either over my budget or not in the condition I wanted. Looking back now, I should've just bought the ones that I saw that are in great condition but over my budget because the prices have increased to a-whole-nother level of crazy within the past few months.

Long story short(er), I bought a 12A classic flap over my budget but in decent condition. When I got the bag, I was surprised at how underwhelmed I was by the color. ARGH! I really thought I was done with my search but it didn't sit well with me when I was already going over my budget and didn't LOVE the bag. So now, I'm back to searching for another red classic flap but at a loss as to which season to go for. The prices (both pre-loved and new) are so high now that I want to make sure that I LOVE it and not settle.

On the horizon...I found a 15C pearly red caviar classic flap at a "decent" price (still over budget) but in great condition (per listing). I couldn't find a lot of information on this season's red so I was hoping to get any information from anyone that either has this red or have looked at it in the past and see what you think.

PS: I've tried to settle with red Reissues, Boys, other bags, in calfskin, in lambskin but nothing could fill the void. So I've decided that despite having to go outside my parameters, I just need to get this red caviar classic flap and be done. I hope you guys understand and don't think I'm crazy, lol. Thank you!!
