I purchased this bag last week from my awesome SA and I am in love! I too had my eye on this and put myself down on the list (it was between this and there is white version but i think it is smaller than the black). The number of people that stop me and ask and compliment me on my bag is overwhelming, even sales people at
Gucci and LV. As Tulip2 stated it is absolutely the best way to show off your Chanel SLG's and other goodies. I threw some Chanel brooches in there, it is so much fun. My SA said I could absolutely coordinate with whatever outfit I'm wearing - so many ways to personalize it with whatever you throw in there. It is super light weight, the chain is thinner than the classic flap but long enough you can double over the shoulder, wear it cross body. I love mine and would definitely recommend!
