Presentation of my flap family..new bag + LOTS of PICS!

[absolutanne]

Hi girls! I had some spare time to fool around with my new purchase. I got a beige caviar med flap with gold hardware. It is so lovely! My first light colored, gold hardwared Chanel. I didn't realise the caviar is so stiff (all my bags are lambskin or patent). It was $1595 + tax. Broke my ban because of this but I wanted to get it before the price hike! I love it!!

L-R (Beige med caviar classic, '06 Bordeaux reissue 225, Black Diamond Shine Flap)


New baby in detail:


She can fit so much more than my reissue. Her rigidity helps it!
It was fun doing this. Sorry for the blurriness.

Thanks for the kind comments ladies!! I know I'm making everyone fat because of all this eye candy. Hehehe. The pic shows the beige quite true to the color IRL. It looks best with gold hw IMO.

Oops! I haven't added a modeling pic of the beige.



FYI: did you all know that gold hardware on Chanel is 22K! (plated though, not solid) That's still great compared to other brands' rendition of gold hardware, more often than not brass or even brass plated.
The silver hardware on SOME not all Chanel bags, like my diamond shine flap has rhodium/rhutenium hardware which is a precious metal. I'm not sure if it's solid rhodium, I don't think so-it may be alloy with mostly rhodium content.

Oooh! I was just daydreaming about your exact bag!
I think the beige caviar with gold hw is absolutely gorgeous. Congratulations!
And thanks for the info on the 22k gold plated hw. I always wondered what the symbol on the CC clasp was on the gold but had nevered bothered to ask.
