Mosman, You're collection is stunning! LOVE! I have the large double flap that comes out on special occasions. I don't want another "special occasions" handbag. I thought . . .and am still thinking. . . the Trendy CC could be used more casual (and of course dress up) because of the top handle. Thank you so much for your reply. I'm sooooooooooo happy to hear it has held up well. You're daughter is adorable : ) and loving on your chanel handbag : )I got this one for more than a year now, i mainly use on the weekend and I still love it, it is roomy, I wear it on crook of my arm, whenever I need hand free I pull the strap out. The bag held up good so far no scratch visible inside and outside.
I also got a small one in red but I prefer med size better !!!
I would not say it is flashy but I do have lot of compliments for it.
good luck deciding.
