Any guesses on my chanel HG?
Without further ado - introducing my black 226 with ghw. This to me is the chanel classic. I've always loved the reissues more than the classics for their ease yet chicness. My mom however is not a fan and so when I saw a color in the classic I loved I always gravitated towards it more because I knew she would love it too. But, when I heard of the price increase I knew I couldn't not have this. Surprisingly I'm loving my mustard flap more now (that color... it's hard not to!) but I know this bag will carry me well throughout time so it will be loved just as much
Now I'm supposed to be heading back to the island but if a grey or beige 226 appeared I'd have to do some serious thinking!
This bag is so gorgeous; congrats on getting the one that was always in your mind and heart! Such an iconic always bag that epitomizes Chanel!
I know there's been some talk about quality going down. But, let me say this bag is a 19 series and arrived perfectly. Here are some images of the distress level - which in my opinion is very distressed. It definitely varies throughout the bag but that's what makes the distressed leather so unique!
Congrats on getting your HG! I love all the photos! I remember you mentioning the part about your mom not liking the reissues from before. This one is such an iconic and beautiful Chanel bag. Enjoy!!!
Thanks poohbag! Even today she asked me which I was preferring and when I said the yellow she said "me too... the other looks old." But the heart wants what it wants Couldn't be more pleased with these two
