Hi all.... I have been lurking and posting a little but, this my first "official" post. I just bought my first Chanel last week (Jumbo lambskin Flap...love it
) All thanks to the wonderful guidance on this board
. But, my question involves a vintage handbag lambskin bag that my sister bought a few days ago. I finally got to see it IRL instead of the auction pic.
I noticed that it has a lovely gold chain strap but it is laced with suede instead of leather (lambskin.) I thought I read that the leathers should match on the strap with whatever the handbag is made of. It could be that the strap was replaced.....very possible since it is vintage
That is really the question should they match?
The seller did not disclose this in the auction .....only stated that the strap was leather.
I think my DS might have jumped on one without doing her homework. I have now educated her in asking lots of questions first and coming here for the "final opinion"
Here is the link to see the strap:http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=330219484811&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=014
