How do you think a Cotton Club tote would hold up as an everyday bag?

Hi there
Is anyone using a Cotton Club tote as an everyday bag?

My s/a located a bronze one for me
so before I blow my X-mas stash $ I figure best to get your thoughts.

Appreciate your input – thank you so much!!!

I used my blue cc tote all summer long. I love it...it's one of my favorite bags. Some people have had trouble with the chain breaking, but mine was fine. I can see how they can break as some of my rings are not totally closed tightly, but I never had a problem. I say go for it! the bronze is a beautiful color and since it's not made anymore, extremely hard to find!

I have the bronze CC tote and have used it as an everyday bag - it has been great for me. Like Molly I haven't had any trouble with the chain breaking, but I have read at least one person here did.

Thank you so much for your feedback on the CC Tote
My "non-chanel" friends have advised me against it becuase they mentioned the bit if metallic sheen to this style would show wear extremely fast, but no one here has mentioned that.
So I may just have to grab it.
I love the bronze

Ohhhh, yay, I'm so happy your SA found one for you!! I've used my bronze CC tote as an everyday bag (though I'm strange and gravitate towards my reissues and flaps the most haha). Like Mon and gators mentioned, I was also concerned about the rings opening up and the strap breaking off, but I haven't had any problems (thankfully). I don't think the subtle metallic of the bronze would show wear as quickly as other bags may, plus it's an aged, durable calfskin... a good "everyday" leather and therefore bag IMO. Post pictures if you decide to get her hehe!

I used my black cotton club tote every day for months! I love it!!! The rings on my chain did break a few times, but Chanel fixed them and it has been perfect ever since. You are very lucky to find the Bronze color...it's gorgeous!

I had a bronze and the sheen on it was fine but I wear more black than brown so I didnt carry it very often. Also, the chain on mine broke twice. I returned it and got a different bag. It is a great style and great look. It is structured but not too boxy.

wow it was already damaged- I think that is a sign and I can see from 2 other peoples posts that their chanis had broke so it seems best that you don't get it.
