If you get the chance to choose between pearl crush and top handle (both lambskin), which one would you choose?

I love the Pearl crush. Don’t love how heavy the ball can be though. From a user perspective, you may want to consider this — the top handle chain attaches at the top of the flap, where the handle is. Some people don’t like that the bag leans forward when you open it while wearing, due to where the strap is attached. Also, the strap will not be adjustable, not even from the hidden inside like the classic mini.

So what you’re saying is that both aren’t good enough to be considered? Hahaha

I actually don’t mind the ball or how the strap is not adjustable. Just want to see which one seems like a better choice.

I would go for the top handle! It is more versatile, doesn’t have the extra hanging strap and if you ever want to make the strap shorter, they are different ways to achieve that.

My very first Chanel :heart:

I actually set up my mind to get a black small classic flap (calfskin w/ GHW) when I decided to buy my first Chanel bag, but I ended up getting this one: light color, lambskin, and it’s mini!

I’ve been doubting myself for the decision since it’s not the typical “first Chanel,” but looks like it fits right into my wardrobe since most of my tops and dresses are neutral and pastel colors.

Can’t believe I’m saying this, but my heart is full! :P

Does anyone use their lambskin mini as an everyday or casual errand bag? I’m curious how the bag wears with regular use. Anything I should avoid? Rain? Jeans or zippers? From preloved listings, it seems to be mostly rubbing on corners and back pocket. Thanks!

Best to avoid rain, my lambskin cf had some rain drops on it, it dried out naturally but I will still avoid rain. Also avoid clothes that has a lot of hard textures as it may rub the back of your bag. No to denims if you have a light colored mini.

Thanks! I got it in a dark color so not worried about color transfer but I am worried about the leather rubbing. The lambskin just feels so thin and delicate (and soft) compared to my other bags.
