Maybe my next Chanel will be a boy bag since i got the Mini instead 
Did you get it in the small size?
Thanks
Did you get it in the small size?
I got the new medium size, it's the perfect size for casual everyday, I'm thinking if I need one in the medium size also. I'm just not sure if I need 2 boys. Congrats on getting the mini, I heard it's rare nowadays.
Alma bb in epi, very very durable leather. I own 4 epi leather bags and love them to piecesHi guys,
I'm looking to get a cute mini bag for random weekend/errands/shopping/etc use. I dont particular pair my bag according to the occasion. Meaning I dont mind carrying a dressy bag just to grab lunch, I'm one who brings Celine Micro to a pool party only cause I thought it can act the part of a beach bag.
Anyway, since I've plans to travel to Europe soon (and I also happened to be offered a Brand new Alma BB Vernis for SGD1,800) I thought I'd seek your advice to help me make a quick decision.
My choices are:
1) Chanel Mini - Pros - Super cute, high resale value, timeless, I JUST LIKE THE CHANEL .. hehe This might not make sense but it makes me feel pretty and lady with this.
Cons - The size dont really justify the size and its practicality IMO. Too common?
2) Chanel Boy Small - Again, it's cute and it's from Chanel. Slightly more rugged and casual. May hold more than a Chanel Mini. Very trendy at the moment. Gives off a 'Cool girl vibe' when worn cross body. Just my crazy mind talking; but you get what I mean?
Cons - Too many design/prints/colour of Boy Bag around. Hardly a Timeless bag (yet) Lower resale value if i get sick of it down the road? Again, pretty steep price point.
3) Alma BB Vernis/Epi - Pros: Much better price as compared to Chanel. Holds the most stuff. Sparkly and shiny and a timeless shape. Again, makes me feel beautiful and dressy. Oh and it'll be my first LV bag
Cons: The strap may be too long for my to carry it by the side or even cross body (i'm between 5"2 and 5"3) Too common? Does the shape look weird/awkward to you when its resting on one's body?
Even though my decision in independent of the bags I currently own, I thought it'll be good give you guys an idea of what I have at the moment.

Sorry for the long post - Thanks for reading!!!
ChAnel boy is a thing to behold, it is the IT bag right now and for a reason. It's beautiful, well designed, ultra cool and chic. And will perk up or compliment many outfits. Who cares about too many colors & choices, one of them will catch ur eye. Chanel boy all the way.
