This is my updated Chanel collection, but it changes at least once a month! Just sent out my patent mini today to be sold :'( Also, my medium black BA is on its way back to me from consignment since it didn't sell, so I'll be expecting that one!

Really love your collection
Classic M/L black caviar, So black reissue 225 and Reissue 225 with GHW? And can you please share the reason?
Hi Iana, it is really a great and hard question. I’d say in black, i choose 2.55 over classic. Even though I am a big huge fan of classic, I would prefer it in another color, something brighter. I love the 2.55 so black, especially its chevron look. But my favorite is the 2.55 with GHW, such a discrete luxury, fits perfectly for both dressing up and dressing down, very confortable and versatile to carry. Love love love.Really love your collection

Between 2017 - 2019, my relationship with chanel bags was rocky. I bought bags (both 1st and 2nd hand) thinking that it is suited my personality, and it screamed me. Over time, I got the feeling that I hadn't reach a state of purse peace, and I was simply buying way too many bags. I slowly sold a few pieces over the course of a few months after owning them.
My first ever chanel bag (2nd hand). I love pink and back then I thought I was more of a Le Boy than a Classic Flap person. But BOY was I wrong.
My second Chanel purchase, fresh out of the boutique. I swore I walked into the boutique wanting to buy a black caviar M/L flap. But something about this blue caught my attention. I sold her a few months later, as I used that money to fund my trip to Europe ( and a bag from 31 Rue Cambon).
When I made a trip to Paris, I was 100% certain I wanted to purchase something from 31 Rue Cambon. But I just didn't know what. I went in to have a look at everything available, but I was simply overwhelmed by the collection. I went for a navy with GHW boy, which was something within my budget then, rather than a CF. I sold her away afew months later as I wasnt reaching out to her much.
I've always liked a grey CF. Back then, I was desperate to look for it but I couldn't find one. When I heard that there was a dark grey that was going to be released in 2018, I immediately went around asking if anyone could ship it in for me, as the local boutiques didn't bring in this color. Thankfully, a few forumers here managed to liaise me with an SA and she shipped it over to me. A few months later, I made the decision to sell it. It was heartbreaking, especially it was a grey bag which I absolutely loved, and adored, but it was simply too heavy for me, and I felt I looked more ostentatious than classy when I carried it out.
Fast forward to today, my collection is very different from the set of bags I used to own, and I wholeheartedly love them all. I have a 2nd hand CF in Navy and GHW (M/L) that is on its way to me. I hope it'll stay permanent in my collection too.

So colorful and wonderful! I absolutely love the dark grey + GHW combination CF that didn't work for you, dream colors for me. But at the same time, I have a lighter grey + SHW CF lambskin that's lovely to look at but doesn't get worn at all, so I completely feel you. Wish my collection was as colorful as yours
How are you finding the weight of your Coco Handle? I find the M/L heavy as well, but I find the Coco Handle even heavier.So colorful and wonderful!

I regret selling the dark grey jumbo. I feel that i should have kept it till i was older - when i would have probably changed clothing styles, etc.
I find the coco handle alright for me! I usually carry the handle over my arm, and when i get tired i’d switch it up and carry on the shoulder. But one annoying thing about the coco handle is that it can get difficult to reach into.
Im alright with the M/L. The M/L to me feels light enough to be carried throughout the day.
Agree, the dark grey jumbo seems like a bag I would probably enjoy more when I'm older, as well! So I'm hanging onto my lighter grey flap. I feel that with certain bags, I haven't hit the age to wear them in the most "flattering" way yet, if that makes sense.
Thank you dear. Love to hear your perspective. It must be hard if you have to choose between them. All are classic
I’m currently at four. I technically have 3 WOCS too, but pretty sure I’ll be selling all of them very soon.

Thank you so much! I do want to add a beige and a red m/l to my collection, but I need to stop. This is such a slippery slope.
