Hi All -

I am completely new to Chanel... but have enjoyed drooling all over all of your lovelies!

I do not have anything Chanel (aside from my makeup!) I am trying to decide between a Chanel bag (there are too many to name) and the larger new LV rivetting bag. I really like the Chanel hobo... but also maybe a classic flap (loving the new navy patent!!). I did wait-list for the Baby Cabas so that is not a factor.

This isn't a "need to have" bag but more a want.

Any thoughts? Chanel or LV -- I probably am posting here because I already know what I want! :nuts:

I can totally understand that... I always thought of Chanel as the stuff I remember from the '80s but after going to look... oh my goodness... I see how I could go over to Chanel and never look back!!

The leather is amazing... and the colors can be so rich!!

Thank you!

Yes, I think your mind is already made up considering you posted this in the Chanel forum!! Yes, Chanel all the way. I am still working out which Chanel bag I want to invest in - they're big $$ so I don't want to rush into a decision. They're so beautiful and classic. And, let's face it, not as "abundant" as LV. I feel that Chanel is more exclusive.

Good luck!

I really like that new Riveting bag!
But my heart prefers Chanel these days. . . the mongram is over saturated right now to me.
Look ahead, in 5 or 10 years, which will you see yourself still loving?

I used to be into LV big time. I think I bought my first Chanel bag in 2004 or 2005 (can't remember)....and ever since that first Chanel bag, I found myself moving slowly away from LV.

Go for the Chanel!!!:yes:

welcome! hang around with us long enough and i tell ya, it will be "need to have!" lololol
:p

good for you being waitlistd for Coco Cabas, maybe your second one could be more of a traditional, like medallion tote or classic flap

Ever since I joined TPF I've found myself slowly adding a little bit from different designers. My entire bag collection, at one point, was only LV.
I sold off a bunch to add 2 bbags and 2 paddys and now I find myself frequenting this forum.

I think that if you already have a lot of LV, a Chanel piece would be the perfect way to diversify. I don't even LOOK at new LVs anymore. I think for the most part, my collection of LVs is complete. On to newer things!

I think Chanel is more exclusive than some other designers.
You can't buy it on the internet, like for instance eLuxury or other online stores.

And Chanel has some beautiful and classic bags, that will last for years and years to come. :yes:
