Has anybody purchased a 21C black chevron mini and can tell me if the hardware is light gold or silver? Saw pics from the boutique but can’t tell from the pics. As far as I know, minis from 21C are light gold HW, however the chevron mini looked silver to me??
 
I just received a new 20B black lambskin square mini and noticed a deep crease on one side of the interior lining. This is my first lambskin bag and my first mini so I'm not sure if this is normal or not. Any help would be appreciated!

I just received my first mini from 21c with lghw today and am super excited! The only thing is... I can barely notice any gold undertones. If anything, I can see hints of gold in the chain under different lighting but the cc lock definitely looks more like silver. I don’t have any chanel with light gold or silver hardware to compare it to. Is this normal? Am I going blind or does the lghw pretty much look like silver? TIA!

Congratulations on your first mini! I’m in love with mine. I have my silver and yours does look like silver but I could be wrong! It’s like hint of gold I would say. I will attach mine to compare. Hope it helps!
also where were you able to get!? I’m looking for a gold hardware for my sister!

Yea mine definitely looks like silver. And yours look like the quilting is fuller than mine. :sad: I feel like mine has creases here and there. Looks almost like used. Maybe I’m overthinking it. I’ll have another look in a different setting. Thanks for the help!
Btw I got it from a neiman SA in the westchester mall.

This is so gorgeous indeed!! I've been hunting for a chevron mini rectangle in SHW but it's near impossible to get one where I'm from, esp in black. Today I was at the boutique and they had a mini square in black chevron SHW from 21C which was too cute to resist so I went with that instead of holding out for the rectangle (or another price increase)! Think I made the right decision?

OMG, I am on this thread to inquire about the same thing. I just received my rec mini today and the chain, grommets and turn lock are the beautiful lghw but the CCs look silver. I thought I was being punked...or had been sold a defective bag. I was waiting to look at it in the daylight to be sure.

Lghw can definitely look like silver in some lighting. Your tag says Gold M which indicates it should be gold.

Yellow gold (the one on most Rev black classics) is quite a bit more gold.

I am attaching my small chevron with lghw...again cc can pass for silver in the picture. BC6EB0EA-DCB3-49CC-A4CD-EE5B83A976A3.jpeg
