Please help me decide between these gorgeous medium flaps

[hiepsiaobong28]

I have 5 chanel bags (light beige, dark beige, silver, black Gabrielle, and dark blue) but for some reasons I dont have a black classic flap lol. With the crazy price hike, I’ve finally decided to get a black one in medium size. After searching for days, I found these 3 gorgeous babies all at very reasonable price.
Black lambskin with rose gold HW


Iridescent purple (stunning)

And caviar dove grey with silver HW (my perfect kind of combination)


My heart really goes for the iridescent one but somehow I feel like I need a black classic flap (also that’s what I wanted to buy at the beginning), I already have a Celine Triomphe and Hermes Evelyne in black…. Its not that I dont have any black bags.

Anyways, please please let me know what you think? Maybe Im destined to not own a black classic flap .

I vote grey, then black lambskin (do you wear rose gold jewelry?)!

I’d choose grey, but I’m not a CF girl so I don’t think we all need one!

Love the grey!

I'd personally go for the black with rose gold but if your heart is gravitating towards the iridescent one I think you should get that one!

I hate to break it to you but the purple and the grey are not black.

If the purpose of the exercise is buy a black bag, get the black.

The grey is beautiful, the purple is not my taste and I dislike the rose gold hw on the black one.
But I guess the question is are you looking for another classic flap or specifically black? If you want a black one don't get sidetracked by the other lovlies

Just so you know this is a very heavy bag - I bought it in the boutique and then had to return it

Sage advice! I agree wholeheartedly that CFs are heavy.
But to answer the original question, I absolutely love the gray. I love the other two, too, but I think the grey is timeless.
Rose gold is trendy- but if you love it, and you’re still going to love it despite the haters, then ok.
As for the purple- it’s unusual, and visually striking. A head turner, if you will.

None. There is no reason to get a black CF with all the rainbows out there. If your clothes are primarily black then why dress it with a black bag? JMHO

How about "none of the above." It sounds like you're looking for a Black CF with hardware other than RG. Don't settle for any of these bags because it won't stop you from wanting what you haven't bought.

Either way it goes you will probably end up buying another. If you buy the gray first then you will still want the black. If you by the black first you may still want your “perfect combination.” Which one do you want now?

Thanks you all so much. This is why I love our forum. I need neither another CF nor another black bag. I was totally happy until the price increase and all of the influencers on IG gave me FOMO. If I get the black bag now, I’ll keep thinking about the perfect grey combination. I just got the Celine last month and there was a price increase today. Imagined I hadn’t got one lol . Really, I need to work on myself, ppl like me are the reasons brands keep having their price increases

Purple iridescent is STUNNING and SPECIAL!!!!

I have the exact iridescent blue/purple one, 21A grey with gold hardware and black with gold hardware. Nothing will beat black as your first. You will get the most use out of it, it won’t even be close. Black will work with pretty much most outfits.

The iridescent one (as is the case with most muti-colored iridescent colors) is very, VERY difficult to pair with everyday clothes and so you’re likely to get the least amount of use out of it.

I find gray to be very nuanced and finicky in terms of matching it with others hues. Grey is one of those color categories where you can have more than one shade of it in your collection. Much like pink, gray comes with a variety of undertones, saturation and brightness levels that no one grey will fit all your needs.

If you decide to go with black, make sure rose gold makes sense with your accessories. I personally don’t mind mixing metals but that’s a personal call. Good luck.
