Well, I've been sneaking around here on the Chanel forum for the past few weeks and recently while I was at Neimans exchanging my Hermes Dogon (sides were flaking...long story) I mentioned to one of the BEST SA's in the world--Lisa Hamlin (big THANKS to Jag for the referral) that I wanted a great clutch. Since my life rarely requires a clutch, I don't own one. But I've felt the need recently that I should at least have one great business casual/semi formal bag. So Lisa suggests the Chanel Timeless in Caviar--and it is on hold for me until Wed. I think it is just amazing!

BUT, my question is.....should I take my first jump with Chanel with the clutch or should I just plunge in and get a bag. I do lean toward a little more simply, casual style. I'm a mother to a 4 year old with hands covered in PB&J all the time!

Please any suggestions and pics. would be greatly appreciated.

THANKS :smile:

Hmm..although the timeless clutch is well, truly timeless, I think it may be a little impractical for your lifestyle considering what you've already disclosed to us. If dealing w/ a 4 year old isn't enough, I doubt you want to be concerned with getting your bag dirty too or worrying about it.

I'd say something like a cerf tote or maybe a medallion tote?? They can fit over the shoulder and it has really durable leather too. Just my .02!

Keep us posted!

Well, even though i have a 2-year old and one more on the way, I don't see why you can't get the clutch. It depends on what you want to use it for.

I also just bought the clutch and I intend to use it for occasions where I go out with friends, shopping, even formal dinners, etc.

Also, most of the time, I don't use my bag to carry my kid's stuff, I use a diaper bag. Imagine milk or juice leaking in your chanel bag, nah.. i don't want that to happen :yucky:

Thank you all so much! I love the idea of a tote, but I can't seem to get that clutch out of my head. It's calling me :P

I think I may just need to get it!!!

What about an E/W flap? They can work as a clutch or you can use them for carrying a few things while you run errands. Double duty, really, and that bag will never go out of style.

What is the E/W flap--sounds like a contender?? Since I'm somewhat new to Chanel......do you have a pic?? Anyone have a pic??

I was also thinking of the east west flap. You can hide the chain in the bag if you want to use it as a clutch.

Wallet on a chain is also nice but a bit smaller. It can be used like a clutch, on shoulder or messenger style.

Pics are in the reference forum under classic flaps.
