Glad I found this thread !
I’m being offered this Chanel mini so black by my Chanel SA
and then my Hermes SA also found me a Constance wallet with RGHW !

I primarily love H of course but is really undecided right now !
And I promised myself no more black bags and here I go again !
Pls help !
If you love rghw and the Constance clasp, I say go for it! Nowadays, with the smaller sizes of clutches, it can be used as. Clutch and also as a wallet, so it’s versatile, plus the rghw can be dressy or not...

if you love the so mini black, I have to say, that’s the one that brought me back to Chanel after I swore that I was sticking to H bags... it’s so cute and useful esp as a crossbody :smile: I also think the black hardware makes it very under the radar

can you get both ;) bc one can really be classified as a wallet so it does double duty :smile:

I don’t think you could go wrong with either and I hope you post whatever you decide !

I don’t have a clutch life at all, but I love Hermes clutches!
I love how they can be casual, and elan style works very well for my small hands.
Egee and Verrou clutches here.
Sadly, just managed to scratch the Verrou when taking the photo!

I don’t have a clutch life either but love them. I especially love your Verrou clutch! I feel for you about the scratch. Ive done the same trying just to take a picture.

Thank you Keodi!

lejic, there are plenty of choices should you wish to go preloved. I bought a chain d’ancre crocodile clutch with a pristine body but dry hand held handle. my mom borrowed it a few times and the handle cracked - she had no idea; she’s just hard on her bags). I then did a Docride spa, had the handle removed and replaced with an optional Evelyne strap. The bags price pre-loved was 1250 usd (Malleries) The strap was maybe 500+ usd from Brand jfa or Brandoff. The second pic is crappy, my apologies, but the bag has two compartments, and the main one has a full size coin pocket on one side with two open flap pockets on the other, then the outer compartment, and there is also this cute little mini leather envelop.
measures aproximately, 9 inches in width, 5.25 height, 1.75 depth. a long wallet like the azap will not fit bc of the gussets. I think preloved vintage H had a lot of these extra convenient details.

LOVE this. I have a very similar bag and had a similar problem. Doc was able to fix it without replace the handle but I’m thinking of doing something similar to this but with a chain down the line.

I am glad that I am in good company on both counts. The scratch was actually terrible, I almost cried, but luckily the worst of it buffed out. I will probably need to send it to the spa to make sure the leather is ok though because I broke the surface!

Oh no! I’m sure that made your heart hurt. I’m glad most of it buffed out and hopefully a spa treatment will help with the remainder.

I’m starting to carry my clutches again. Between Covid and all the fires in my state (Calif), I decided that I need to stop waiting for restaurants to open indoor dining and for other things to change substantially. I’m not sure how long its been since I carried one but it feels like forever. Today, I carried a BdC to do a couple of errands and I felt more like myself than I have in a long time.....
 
I don't have a clutch life (actually the opposite; I have a crossbody life), but I couldn't resist this gorgeous vintage Hermes crocodile Sac Dog that converts from shoulder bag to clutch. Just confirmed with Bababebi it's authentic and am thrilled! Had to share with folks here who share love of bags wo judgement. :smile:
