It's been a while since I posted! And also a while since I have purchased any Chanel.

I am heading to Rome in a month and plan to shop til I drop when I'm there! However when researching bags (love the small trendy top handle) I started seeing some vintage styles. I am in love. I don't know any of the style names except the Diana. The yellow gold and the thicker CC is so gorgeous. I used to not like vintage bags at all.

What % of your Chanels are vintage? Any good websites for tips buying vintage? So far I am looking at eBay and at Japanese sellers with a ton of reviews. They seem like the safest sellers at least on eBay. Where do you get yours?

Vintage bags are so special! Half of my bags (ie 3) are vintage and 2 of them I got from an Instagram seller called My Grandfathers Things. I started looking at them because I wanted a Diana as well.

Divine!! Such a beauty. Watch out for the (sorry my english) "push" cc-locks? My woc from the 80's in crocodile got stuck! Wasn't possible to open it, I hear its a thing with the older hardware.

Thank you so much! The CC's are definitely smaller than current versions. Luckily its still a turn lock closure :) Thanks for the information for the push locks! Were you able to have your WOC fixed?

Also, at first, I was buying on eBay, but then I found a store on the Internet that sells used bags and sells new ones as well, but before buying from it, I advise you to first contact them ,,,, the name is rifinal
