I love white Chanel bags and have three of them. However, Chanel's "white" varies greatly each season. It's hard to find a true pure white as most have a drop of yellow and are actually an eggshell or ivory shade.

If anyone is interested, the 25P Coco Handle is white white! I compared it to my three other white Chanel bags, and this one is the whitest by far.

Here is a photo... pure white at its finest!

Do you notice that the threading on any of your white bag starting to get yellow . I noticed that on a seasonal bag .

Hi! Not for me. I don't have any problems with my white bags, and I use them a lot in the summer.

Thank you for sharing your experience. I am trying to get a white bag but the SA at my boutique thinks it’s very difficult to take care of the white. I do own white bag in other brand and I dont find it hard to maintain. But with Chanel, there’s white threads for the quilts, I do not know if they will turn yellow….may I know how long have you own your white bag? Thanks in advance for your insights! 😊

Hi! I now have four white Chanel bags. My oldest one was from 2013. I pretty much wear white bags all summer as it looks fresh. Right now, I am wearing my white Coco Handle daily. All my white bags are still white. I don't have any yellow at all.

For me, there is nothing more stylish as a white bag in the summer. I am sure you already know this since you said you have other white bags. You can wear it with any outfit; the bag just pops.

I also have an ivory Chanel bag which I wear a lot, especially in the fall/winter (e.g. Winter White). Hence, if the Chanel bag you are thinking of buying is an ivory off-white, it may also work in the winter. Chanel's version of white varies with each season. Most of them time, it is not a pure white. I prefer pure white as I live in white jeans and jean shorts in the summer. This season, the Coco Handle is pure white which I love.

Hope this helps with your decision and good luck to you!

Hi there, does a cch ever come in a single gusset style (or is this wishful thinking)? >.< The ones I have are all double gusset but I would love a cch with a single compartment.

Hi! I'm not sure how long it's been since you looked at Coco Handles.
For what it's worth, the newer Coco Handles have a larger inside front section than in previous years. I was pleasantly surprised as the inside divider really bugs me too. I like bags that are one giant open hole.

I have three Coco Handles, and my most recent one, the white one from 25P has a large front section. Chanel opened up the area a bit more so it's not stitched like a tight trapezoid. I really appreciate they did that as it was such a waste of space to make it so angled. It was such a surprise as I had stopped buying Coco Handles because of this reason. However, I purchased the white Coco Handle as I love this design and love white bags.

My other Coco Handles are the earlier design with the sharp trapezoid narrow closing, so now I want new Coco Handles. I have this green Coco Handle that I totally love. If a nice green comes back again, I may get greedy and buy a new green one that has the new internal design! :nuts::heart:

That extra space makes such a huge difference for me as I put my Card Holder and Mini O-Case in the front section.
Anyway, I wanted to share this as FYI because my hesitation in my past with collecting more Coco Handles has been the inside space with the divider section. This newer design has changed my mind, and I am going to keep collecting this style.

Next to green, I am hoping for an orangey fall color. That would make a great fall bag!

I love the Coco Handle shape. It works great casual and dressy. If you are considering one, maybe see if the larger divider section can work for you. Good luck!

I also own a white chanel bag that I love (not a coco handle) but a calfskin bowling bag & even though I don't wear it all that often, it has remained white! Some of the quilting is a little dented in but that's due to storage not the color & the nature of the shape of the bag.. good luck!

Hi! If it's the runway double-zip bowling bag from 23C, I have the same bag! I bought the small size.

I really love that bag as it's small, but the design makes it super spacious and very useful in terms of shape and compartments. My bag is definitely worn as I use it as a beater bag because it holds so much stuff, including a water bottle, But... beat up as it is, it is still pure white, albeit more of a cloud white compared to the 25P Coco Handle white white.

If we have the same bag, I hope you wear it more often. Take it out, and enjoy the little guy!
It's odd, but I get a lot of compliments on that bag. I think it's the shape that makes it look fun. It's summer now (assuming you are in the Northern Hemisphere), and it's the perfect time to take your bag out! Great summer bag!

Hope this inspires you to take out your super fun, super chic bag! :biggrin: :heart:
