Help needed 19C - choosing the perfect neutral (first Chanel bag)

[Quinni]

You can't go wrong with either boy bags. Colors are all neutral & gorgeous. In these photos, the lighter boy bag catches my eyes more maybe because of your dark color outfit. I would ask myself what kind of hardware I prefer. Good luck!!

Thank you @Lunie that’s exactly what makes it harder for me. Loving these colors so much! I am liking the shiny hardware but am unsure if it’s going to attract scratches? The brushed hold hardware also looks a bit less eye-catching / under the radar?

Another vote for the Boy. When i saw the pict on the counter, i gravitated towards the lighter/pink boy. However when you tried them on yourself, the darker boy looks much better on you.
But like Lunie mentioned above, do you have a preference of hardware type?

Thank you for your reply, so kind of you! That’s the way I felt in store - once my SA showed me the lighter / pink Boy. However, I am unsure about color transfer, maybe more scratches on the beautiful shiny hardware? Actually, I do not have a hardware preference, I always thought I would get a small or medium Classic Flap in black with silver hardware. If I had to choose I would probably say champagne / light gold as its most versatile.
The darker Boy might also be more versatile as I could easily wear it with winter clothes?
On its own the lighter one caught my eye a bit more, however, I do not want to Impulse now and regret in 6 months time.

The boys look so good on you . The light boy matches your skin tone and it comes out against your black top. But color transfer on those sling boys worry me. So the khaki boy is my definite pick

That’s so kind of you to say! Thank you [emoji1]
Exactly what I am afraid of. I think the darker Boy is offering more options with less worries.

They are all beautiful, good taste [emoji1303] the last boy looks best on you though and would be most practical for what you’re looking for

Thank you @Superbe , so nice of you to say! I think the darker Boy is winning the race for my heart [emoji4]

What sort of blues do you tend to wear? While I tend to gravitate towards darker colors, the lighter Boy looks like it may go more with a rose and (light?) blue wardrobe?

They all look gorgeous on you but would go with the taupe color.

I absolutely love the darker shade of boy on you! And practicality wise I suppose the darker one is more resistant to color transfer

I like both boys on you, but the lighter boy looks really good with your skin tone.

Actually, we seem to tend to the same blues. I prefer the darker shades which is why my closet looks quite funny: on the one side whites, nudes and pinks and on the other side many shades of blue (mostly very dark / navy blue).

I’ll insert a couple “sample” outfits:

Thank you @milkrun and yes it probably would also be more practical!

Thank you for your color advice, I appreciate it!

If you’re looking for a crossbody option to wear all year round I think woc is the best fit. Boy is beautiful but kinda bulky as a crossbody bag. I like it way better as a shoulder bag.

My vote is definitely for the darker boy now after seeing these pics--especially with your watch, your coat, bracelets and boots! However, you have to get what makes you happy. Get the bag you think you will love the most and enjoy it --you can wear any of them!
