That’s a great question and thanks so much for asking. Never really thought about why I want the round one too. I imagine it would also be a great collector’s piece and the round shape is cute and unique too. I haven’t really liked round bags before, but this is very different. I just showed my husband the wooden bag and he was sold. He said he likes it and is all for the round one too if I can get it. He studied it for a long moment and said “It’s not a bag.”

I chuckled and agreed - it’s more like a box with a chain. A Chanel that my young curious boys would be most interested to fiddle with (and hence I have to keep it out of their sight).
I think we see it as something that will age beautifully (no worries about structural loss!) for us to pass down to our two boys. It’s hard to imagine any of my other leather bags being of interest to them. I would love to have a piece from a brand I hold so dearly to give to each of my two boys. Thanks for asking because I only just realised this as I was typing.
