i'm having such a dilemma...i'm a new mommy of an adorable 7 week old dd, and i'm torn! i got my hands on the very last pre-fall 08 patent camel jumbo and it's absolutely gorgeous! i love the fact that the patent is water resistant (not planning on getting it soaking wet, talking more about water marks) and the color is right up my alley. my problem has been justifying getting a new flap when i should be thinking about practicality. i have not been using my larger bags as diaper bags, we've mainly been using using an actual diaper bag attached to her stroller, but i'm thinking more long term. as she gets older and i just want to run out, i may want to just throw a few of her things in my bag. is a flap totally impractical for a mommy? this may be my last bag for a long, long time. and i'm also not a serial chanel buyer, i have a hard time justifying the price point - my only chanel currently is a matte black reissue 227. it's so hard because i know that i won't be able to get this bag again, but i'm afraid if i keep it, it's just gonna sit in my closet (and she deserves to be worn!). i've also been debating over a coco cabas, LV mahina, or other large bag instead, even if i have to get a used one. while i love this flap, i'm not sure if a flap is right for me at this point in my life. are there any mommies out there able to tell me what they usually do? are u able to carry a flap and still manage or do u tend to use your larger bags...i hate these decisions!!
p.s. since i'm still debating, pm me if anyone is interested in picking up this bag should i decide to return it - we can coordinate. it looks brand new, never worn, i've only taken it out to look at it and try it on. it's the very last one, at least in the US!
