Hi there! Just purchased my first Chanel bag (small classic flap in caviar gh). I recall seeing some in Europe with puffier leather. This was purchased in store, the quilts seem pretty flat to me. Thoughts? TIA

Some TPFers have commented that caviar leather can differ season to season. I remember seeing the classic flaps in store in London a few months ago and the quilts seem quite flat and matte as well.
 
Are you comfortable with your dog being so close to your Chanel? At home in his comfort zone, my little Maltese will try to lick my handbag so I normally don't let him come close to it. :smile::graucho::biggrin:

But outside, he behaves, so I take him shopping with me.

Aww.. looks adorable
Mine has grown out of chewing. But i still i keep my handbags away. he likes to put a nose print on every new item in the house... Even shoes. Its sort of customary.. LOL

Here are photos of WOC. New England was blessed with sunshine today. Outdoor sun light and indoor natural light. Its funny how she changes color. Powder blue is how i would describe this shade.

Are you worried at all about color transfer? Curious because I’m interested in this too!

Wow. This powder blue is quite a chameleon. It does change color depending on setting and all look very elegant too. For some reason pale blue and SHW just really work well together. I don't know, the first words I thought of looking at your pictures was "Grace Kelly". I think that says it all. I might have to go to my local store and check it out. :smile: :heart: :heart:

Its elegant indeed. I wore it the first time today and now i feel why I waited so long to get a WOC.
The hardware is actually light gold.

Wonderful. Light gold is hard to spot but goes with everything. It's my favorite hardware.
Do you go shopping at Chanel wanting this color, or did you chance upon it?

I sort of like shopping for shopping's sake and I don't really walk into a store with any item list in particular. I know the WOC has been popular forever, and I'm just glad I got a 22k dark pink because I wear a lot of light/ dark pinks and whites, and already have a closet of full of neutral colored clothing. What I did know if I don't need any more black Chanels.

When I saw my bag at a Chanel airport boutique, it felt like it was meant for me. It was the only one there too.

Love your purchase!!!

I'm so tempted to get the small/medium classics on this light blue (NN010). I have been waiting for the perfect pastel light blue for a while. Do you think that it's close to this baby blue posted below or the light blue with periwinkle undertone especially indoor?
Thanks!
