I was pretty sure I was going to get SHW and then my husband told me GHW is much better. Looking at these bags I just can’t decide... guess I will have to try them out in person.

After reading this I am still debating whether I should get GHW or SHW black caviar small classic flap, it will be a push present from my in laws. I seldom dress up and usually dress very casual. My husband prefers gold, he said black and gold is the ultimate match, but at times I feel gold looks dated and silver looks younger. But then again, it will be a very special bag for me since it is a gift from my in laws to celebrate my giving birth. Such dilemma.

It took sometime for me to decide but in the end I chose the gold hardware just because my black mini is in champagne gold and it looks silver at different lighting.

I would go for the gold as it’s classic. I used to love silver and bought everything with silver hardware but now I love gold. There’s just something about how the gold pops against the black. I feel the silver looks a bit “cold” with the black. I wear mine with casual outfits, even leggings and trainers and it looks super stylish. Having said that, don’t stress too much as you can’t go wrong with silver either. Silver is beautiful too and I used to only own classic flaps with silver. You honestly can’t go wrong with either. Good luck deciding!

I picked mine in GHW because most of my jewelry is gold toned and even the hardware on my shoes is gold. I don’t really like to mix hardwares. I think GHW is easier to resell. If you already have a bag in GHW I’d pick the SHW for your new one. You seem to be leaning towards the SHW option so go ahead and get what you want. Best of luck!

If it were LGHW I would get it no doubt, but I feel the gold is too gold on the black classic flap if that makes any sense. Lol

I will try both of them out and see how I feel about them. :) thanks

I think I do gravitate towards SHW, but I know that GHW is just classic... I will decide when I see them in person. :) thanks
