Help me choose! Brand new Balenciaga City silver giant 21 hardware or Vintage Chanel?

[thenshesays]

Hey guys! I found a brand new Balenciaga City with giant 21 silver hardware and a vintage Chanel bag that looks like a WOC but it's not wallet on chain -- it's similar but bigger at 10" L and 7.5" height with no credit card slots like the WOC.

The Bal City is black lambskin and the Vintage Chanel is also black lambskin!

Which should I get? Both are the same price.


Balenciaga City Silver Giant 21 Hardware Black:

Pros:
Good size (14x10x5.5)
Perfect brand new with tags
Giant 21 silver hardware have been long discontinued making this bag a rare gem.

Cons:
Not that much less than retail price
Trendy
May be heavier due to the giant 21 hardware


Vintage Chanel:

Pros:
It's Chanel
Beautiful soft Labmskin


Cons:
Smaller size (10.5x7x3)
It's not as new condition
It's much older
Holds much less

Thanks!


ETA: I've added photos of the two bags, these photos are not mine but I've found them upon researching

They are very different bags though. As a big Bal fan, I think black G21 City is a real classic. I am not so sure about the non-classic style Chanel, so my vote would be for Bal.

Hi Catash, I've added photos of the two bags... do you still go for the Bal?

This Chanel actually looks really nice so I would reconsider.

I am biased.... I am not a fan of Chanel and of small bags....
My vote goes to the Bal!

I have that Bal. and it's my absolute favorite bag. I bought it new and it's aged beautifully.
I'm not a fan of Chanel bags though, and even less of a fan of gold chain/hardware.

Since they're such different looks, I think you'll just have to decide what suits your style best.
