Received this gorgeous coco handle today! It looks every cuter in person! I fell in love even more ! However, still on the fence whether to wait for a mini (in caviar) or keep this as a first Chanel purchase? I need your advice everyone! For those who own this gorgeous piece, what are pros and cons you may have? Thank you! Your opinion will definitely help!
I bought a mini coco, convinced it was my dream bag. But I ended up returning it. It felt uncomfortable to wear on the shoulder (kept falling off) and impossible to wear cross body (I'm 5'1 so the bar was low!). It looks best hand held, and generally looks very nice. I still love it but it's not for me.
I love my mini (lambskin - which I prefer over caviar) way more, although it holds slightly less than the mini coco but i feel it is more versatile. However, I hear that caviar mini's are no longer being made so ultimately the decision should rest on whether you can find a new (assuming you don't want resale) caviar mini and if the coco handle feels wearable and versatile for your needs.
