i need some gold color Chanel-2.55 tote or flap?

[Classic Chic]

I was able to find new mom for some pieces of my collection, so now it's time to reinvest in Chanel again the closest thing I have in gold is a caviar beige jumbo xl, and now i can't decide to get the 2.55 tote or reissue flap in gold
I have aprox 12 flaps ranging from vachetta, metallic, caviar, lamb in reissue and classic style, sizes varies from e/w to jumbo xl. Also 6 totes in caviar & lambskin. While I'm not short in flaps or totes, I do like the gold color, and need your help decide to add 2.55 reissue tote or reissue flap in 226/227? I'm in San Antonio, TX, not a fashion conscious city IMO, and i live in jeans and Ts. Flaps is wonderful b/c I can wear it casual or formal, yet I love the 2.55 tote's light weight, stream line cut, and room it offers Please help a Gemini out!!

I am also planning to get te gold reissue tote.
I think you still can ROCK the gold reissue flap even though you have the beige caviar,
I believe they are different besides it's a classic flap for keeps, too!

^lol, i know! so the tote is 2400, gold reissue 226 is 2800 & 227 is 3100 did i missed a price increase thread while i was hiding under the rock

I'd get the tote if you already have a beige jumbo. I know the color's different, but the gold tote is just TDF. It's soooo light too!

I love the gold reissue tote! That and the navy are my favorite colors in the reissue leather for Pre-Fall! The tote looks especially gorgeous in this shade.

I vote for the tote too because I have one! It's so gorgy!

I bought the gold 2.55 227 flap and returned it because the color was so bright I could not use it at work.

I get to see my Gold 2.55 tote tomorrow. I love that gold color and hope that the tote is casual enough such that I can carry off the eye-popping color...another reason why I would get the tote over the flap is the tote is $700 less...easier to justify for a color that I won't use everyday.

The tote. The gold color is gorgeous on the tote!

Besides that, you already have 12 flaps and 'only' 6 totes. Got to keep up with the flaps

Thank you all for the input, I'm thinking more of the tote too, but just need to confirm it

Nat-i can only wish to match the totes w/flaps in this economy, but i'm trying

I was faced with the same dilema and went for a black tote and the bronze flap 227 - best of both worlds me thinks. The tote is cheaper and good value for money but I prefer the bronze in flap. Good luck

Tote! The shape is so practical/versatile and the price is reasonable for Chanel.
