As a fellow Chanel lover I wonder if ai can ask your opinion. I also have a reissue 227 in glazed calfskin and so black hardware as well as the reissue 227 white with black hardware. I don’t use my jumbo at all yet and don’t really feel compelled to use it as much as I am drawn to use my Reissues - I’ve grown to really love the reissue style...
if you had a chance to sell the jumbo would you? I basically don’t know how often a white calfskin comes around with black hardware and if you think I’m crazy for not keeping it...
I understand, since I also had a period when I was always carrying Reissue and did not care that much for Classic...however, I am not so much in favour of selling classic bags, since they only increase in price and in a few years it might require a lot of funds in order to acquire them. I would however sell a classic bag if I really fell out of love with it!
Now, the bag you have is special from both, positive and negative side, positive since it is difficult to find one for those who love this style, negative, because it attracts limited audience, since it is a "different" classic. A lot of people, in particular those who are active on the second hand market are seeking classic bag, in terms of black or beige coloru, with silver or gold hardware. Moreover, in the era of micro bags, Jumbo is not hitting the top 3 of the highly desired bags. So, if you have a good buyer for your bag and you are certain that it is not making your heart sing every time you see it, I would sell. Just think twice before doing so
