Help me decide: SHW or GHW for medium black caviar Classic flap

[angeliespina]

My husband is buying me a black caviar classic flap bag and I can't decide between Gold hardware or Silver hardware. He said that gold is better as it more classic and timeless but I personally feel like gold looks outdated and harder to match.

Factors to consider:
1. Most of my jewelries are white gold and platinum. Would it look odd to wear a bag with GHW with platinum/white gold jewelries?

2. I already have a black caviar mini square with champagne gold hardware. I am actually leaning on getting the CF in silver but will these two bags look too similar?

Which hardware do you think is better?

I have both. Can’t go wrong with either at the end of the day.

I would choose SHW if in your shoes and forced to make a decision though. However, I’m a fan of mixing metals, too.

Good luck!

For M/L CF, I prefer SHW with caviar leather and I do own this. It has a younger vibe and looks more casual, but still luxurious. Suitable for day wear and not too formal reception.
But if you want your CF for evening or formal occasions where you wear something dressy, I’d recommend a small size with GHW (Caviar orLambskin depending on your preference).

gold is classic but silver hardware is more casual. This is a hard decision. Personally for me I like gold hardware

I have one in silver, though I originally wanted one in gold. However, I took a hard look at my lifestyle and realized that I wanted my bag to be an everyday bag rather than just an evening bag, so I went with silver, and I have zero regrets!

Gold gets my vote.

I think GHW is be more valuable if you ever want to resell it.

Gold its classic and timeless.

My first flap had GHW and I eventually sold it as I felt it was too mature-looking. After that I only bought SHW. Now I have sold all my bags with SHW and will only buy GHW! If you look on Instagram, GHW is really popular and “in.” Because of this, it is more modern than silver at the moment! It’s classic and timeless too. I wear a lot of platinum/white gold jewellery as well as yellow gold, so I think it’s ok to mix metals.

can you try them both in a boutique?

I agree on silver looking more casual and young! I always feel like a classic flap with gold hardware looks very dressy

silver for me because its young and fresh

Just going based on your post, it seems like you want silver more so go with what you really want and will wear the most.

P.S. Mixing hardware jewelry, bag, etc is not odd.

Silver for all the reasons stated above
