Hello ladies
I have always wanted a light coloured summer handbag, especially in white.

I then started leaning towards the beige as it's a classic Chanel colour and also the colour would stand out more against white jeans, and cream colored outfits. Whereas the white would blend in, plus I don't to wear beige outfits.

However I have been looking online on preloved market and seems to be a lot of discoloration on the beige handbag so started getting concerned whether the beige colour is long lasting. I haven't come across a good condition beige where the back or the bottom hasn't darkened. So started thinking that perhaps white is longer lasting. However I wear black a lot as well, so beige would go well. Anyone have had the beige for +2 years and colour has stand up well?

I love both bags equally (getting both is not an option). I would want to use during day and evening. Planning to buy brand new, but keep forever so long term condition / coloring is important.

Beige and gold hardware combination is so luxious
So is the White and silver combination

I don't have a gold hardware bag so would love to add one, but as I am a silver jewellery wearer perhaps white with silver is better. I'm really torn!! What would you choose?
 
If you're worried about beige bags discolouring, I feel like you would have a worse off time with white bags. Pure white anything (clothes, furniture, etc) can yellow over time, especially if it's not stored properly.

I'm also thinking about getting flap in some light colour and have a similar dilemma. I'm leaning towards beige but with silver hw as all my jewellery is silver/white gold/platinum. White flap is amazing but I guess I'm too afraid of it LOL
