My SA has just texted me about a mini top handle rectangular mini in dark caramel brown that has come in. I'm torn about whether I should take it or leave it. Do you think this color is versatile for every day? How is this season's lambskin quality?
I think that is the same color as this one shown in Maria Draganova’s video - it’s at the 1:29 mark of the video. She was disappointed with the color, but these dark beige/caramel colors have different under tones, so what one person doesnt like, the next person might love. So this video gives you a good look at the color.

I don’t know how other Chanel lambskin bags feel like since this is my first lambskin but it looks very sturdy. It kind of has a plasticky feel and isn’t too soft
 
i agree with you on the mini rectangle. I was offered a couple of mini squares in the past seasons but I passed on all of them because the size is too impractical for me. They’re cute but kinda useless imo :lol: So I pretty much only go for mini rectangles now. If you need to sell it to buy a mini rectangular, I think you should as you’ll definitely make more use out of the rectangle than the square.
Thank you—yes kinda my thoughts too. I’m having a hard time letting go bc of the color and the 23p dark beige seems similar but not as rich maybe. Maybe I’ll try and snag the mini with top handle or hold out for the next caramel.. whenever that will be…lol

That combo overall is hard to come by -mini rectangular & top handle & caramel. I would get it. Unless you feel confident in being able to get that combo in a different shade in future collections

Does anyone happen to have any comparison pics or thoughts about the 23p dark beige vs 22s caramel? I only saw one on Instagram but I have a brand new square mini caramel from 22S that I’m thinking about selling, which is crazy bc it was/is so sought after. The color on 22S is seriously to die for, but the size and handle of the mini rectangle is more practical. Am I crazy?
The square mini in caramel was the bag that I originally wanted (but failed to locate) before trying now to get the top handle mini in dark beige!

Personally, I’m petite so I like the square mini but appreciates the practicality of the top handle as well.

The dark beige does look more neutral while the caramel is probably more saturated in color.
