I have a medium quilted classic flap in black lambskin and yellow gold-colored hardware. I don’t wear it as often as I expected while purchasing.
This should’ve been obvious to me back then: The bag looks incredible with Chanel clothes… but I don’t wear Chanel-style clothes at all. Therefore some of my other bags get much more use because they blend in with the clothes.
The other issue is, bags that I can lean against or squish (even just slightly) are much easier to use. When I carry this bag around, I’m constantly subconsciously making sure it doesn’t get squished because I don’t think it would bounce back.
It fits some people crossbody if they don’t mind it sitting up high. I alternate among crossbody, shoulder with two straps, and shoulder with one strap. No one position is comfortable for long so there is a rotational process throughout the time I am out of the house.
Despite its awkwardness, it is one of the most beautiful bags. I hang it in my bedroom and silently say hello every day. 🤣
