It's the So Black flat cardholder :heart: I don't think I've ever seen any prettier Chanel slg than the So Black 2.55 in chevron. Same goes for the So Black 2.55 chevron bags. The only contenders for me is 2.55 chevron with ruthenium. They're both the epitome of Chanel chic to me.

I've added a pic of the new "Flattie" with my "Flappie" from a few years earlier for comparison.

I had my first Chanel appointment this past weekend. My lovely SA helped me order two gorgeous pieces!

Some of you may have seen my WOC in the thread I posted asking about the zipper dent, but here she is again!

I actually didn’t originally purchase her, but I couldn’t get this beauty out of my head so I texted my SA the next day and she helped me order her on the spot!

And what could be my new favorite bag - my large Business Affinity!

Arrived today and I was like a kid at Christmas waiting until after work to open her! So gorgeous, such a chic, timeless piece. I can see myself using the BA as my every day bag.

These bags are my Christmas presents, so back in the box until then - I only wanted to do a quick QC. :love:

Between how happy I am with these lovelies, and how amazing and helpful (and RESPONSIVE!!) my SA was, I may have started on a slippery Chanel slope :lol: :heart:

Wowowow!! Congrats Capricorn! My birthday is also Jan 3rd but I’ll be 35! I’m gonna put myself on the list for a 19 flap and pray my husband doesn’t kill me :)

I wanted the perfect bag for my 30th birthday in January. My amazing husband let me hunt for my birthday gift early so I wouldn’t miss out on anything. I fell in love with the 20b Red Mini! I inspected the bag, tried her on, and she is perfect! Putting her away until January 3rd.

I was just told by a Chanel SA that 2.55 in chevron, as far as she knows, was never made with ruthenium. In my Chanel imaginations then, but I'm sure it would be a fantastic combination.
 
I own several YSLs, Pradas and Givenchys, but I always thought that a Chanel would be too excessive for me (even though I earn enough money). But guess what, I bought my first Chanel on Monday, a Mini Square in Lambskin with champagne gold hardware. Surprisingly, because I thought I don't want to wear gold hardware, and I thought I was too scared of lambskin. But it was love on first sight - she looks so classy and cute. And I thought that I should only own one Chanel bag, so a classic choice would make sense.

The other options were a mini reissue in patent leather with black hardware, the mini reissue in chevron in calfskin and black hardware and the new woc in caviar with the big cc.

Unfortunately, I'm still wondering if it was the right decission, because I can't get the other options out of my head (and I wonder if I would get more wear out of these?), but I guess this is the Chanel Virus

Any opinions on whether it was a good choice?

Attached is a photo of the beauty.

Which would make you the most happy? This is a lovely bag, I love Chanel black chevron. Leather looks :loveeyes: I personally prefer 2.55 so I would get the So Black in calf skin, but that's me. The 2.55 chevron So Black:s are like gorgeous jewellery to me :heart:
