Help me decide on my next Chanel bag

[chocobo124]

Hi everyone! I'm going to Japan soon and am planning on buying a pre-loved Chanel bag.

I have a small Chanel collection:

Black medium Reissue with gold hardware
Black Boy with Ruthenium hardware
Navy small Gabrielle

These days I lean towards more casual bags and my most used Chanel bag is the Gabrielle.

I have done some research (I know Japanese so have been browsing sites like Rakuten Japan and Yahoo Auction Japan) and I have found some bags I'm interested in but due to limited funds I can only get one of the following bags:

Chanel 19 in black with gold HW (lamb skin) - I'm a little obsessed with the 19. It looks very functional and is the last bag that Karl Lagerfeld designed.
Rectangular mini pearl crush in light grey with gold HW (lamb skin)
Rectangular mini in navy blue with silver HW (lamb skin)
Rectangular mini in red with silver HW (Caviar leather)
Square mini in navy blue with silver HW (Caviar leather)
Business Affinity in light blue with gold HW (Caviar leather)
Black Lucky Charm Reissue WOC

Thank you

I think you should consider several elements:

1. How do you intend to use the bag: for everyday or occasionally, for day or night or day to night?

2. How much content do you expect the bag to hold? There is big difference between the C19 and the mini.

3. What colours do you wear the most and what colour would work best with your wardrobe?

4. Would you wish to have a variety of styles, leathers and hardwares in your Chanel collection and overall handbags collection? For instance, among your Chanel bags, you haven’t had a top handle one so the Business Affinity might be a good choice.

If I were you, I’d get the mini red because it’d be a complement in terms of style and size (small bag, versatile day-to-night), colour (non neutral, a pop of red can go with almost all colours) and hardware.

Thanks! That's the one I'm leaning towards the most, the Pearl Crush is on average 100 to 200k YEN more expensive than regular minis, but it might just be worth it!

I have a classic grey mini in lamb and I LOVE it so!

I really like the collection you have.
The bags you’ve mentioned are not appealing to me.

I would suggest to get WOC , I prefer it over the mini.
And I would advise you to get new, it’s worth it in my opinion and I will complete your collection as you already got a re-issue in your collection.

I have the all black reissue and I really love it ! Hold nearly as much as the mini, elegant ,light and understated.

I would understand if a WOC is not for you.

Good luck in deciding.
