Hi LuvhandbagsLV :wave:Thank you so much! Aww...how sweet you remember my mod shots pics....:blush: Yes I love my green lamb mini so much which is actually i've never planned the green but it was love at first sight unexpectedly at the boutique that day....:rolleyes: ( I did not plan the ivory caviar & blue lamb square minis too ) ...so...who knows what happens...

Yes, 16SS and 00V both are indeed great Red:heart:
Honestly, my 16SS caviar mini's structure and leather quality is much better than my new 17B's. I own also 17C Black caviar rect mini, and to be frankly, also my 17C caviar leather and structure, clean shape, overall much better for the quality compare to my 17B caviar leather and quality in my honest view and opinion. ( I just couldn't resist my most weakness color Red...color addict lol :sweatdrop:
I attached the pic next each other for you ( photo is not perfect though ) hope that helps :smile:Hope you find your best Red that makes your happy:hugs:

Thanks so much for your such sweet and thoughtful comment!:heart::blush:
Wow how exciting MaryJoe!! Congratulation on your mini on the way!! :drinks:
I can't wait to see your reveal! I'm sure you'll love this new red mini! :smile:I love your lambskin red mini from 15B:hbeat: I remember 2015 was great year for the rich Red lambskin! :love: I love your 14C caviar ML too:heart:14C is such a great red ( we're twinsis :smooch: )

Yes, I try again my honest view, To me, this 17B dark red has different shade from 12A in real life clearly. It's difficult to take the shade perfectly by photo and see online though. So their color codes is also different as well if this helps. Since I usually checked the code quickly when I purchased what I love as I also waned to make sure I wouldn't get exact same color for the variety even same red...( sorry if sounds bit crazy.... :blush: )
Good things Chanel has each color codes we can see and they sometimes repeats same color over the years as you know ( so I'm hoping they'd bring back 12A red again in near future since I regret I did not get many other style of 12A at that time. ) I attached the tags for the reference and hope that helps :smile:

I see 17B has this very slightly undertone tiny bit of dark fuchsia or purplish dark magenta, or dark quinacridone magenta ( only if described by painting material, ) little bit more feminine red, and 12A has also bit more strong crisp Red by transparent effects from material of the caviar. They're definitely different shade in real life in my honest view, but again, as I said I think it doesn't really matter, either ones are very pretty indeed and stunning:heart: Most importantly how we love the Red and enjoy wearing our love of Chanel :girlsigh: And I am so grateful and delighted to meet such a lovely Chanel lover like you here :heart::hugs:

Wow, Congratulation my friend!! :drinkup: Thank you so much for sharing your photo here!! Beautiful photo!! :tup: I am so happy we're bag twines :smooch: Hey darling friend, do you think would it be too funny if happens to wear exact same mini when we meet next time?! well, people might see us a strange couple...its okay though :giggle::blush: might better to arrange our outfits before we meet next time ahaha just kidding :lol: lol
Yes you're right, I see this 17B red is indeed darker red and no wonder why Chanel released this as fall series, totally different from our 14C red vibe :yes:

LOL!! Hilarious!!! You are the funniest and sweetest! Oh yeah I remember it was fun we wore exact same BLACK mini first time BUT would be little awkward if we wear exact same RED AND CROSS-BODY next meet LOL yep too funny :lol: Okay let's arrange next time before meet :coolio:

"bitten by Chanel bug has this chronic poisons" "addiction + obsession + passion = collection" :graucho:
 
Very helpful comparison, thanks shopgirl.
Congrats on your beautiful new mini, but what I'd really really really love to see now is a family pic of your entire Chanel collection. Not that your family would all fit in 1 picture, or even 2 :p
:tup::wave:Hi royal sweetness!! I'm in with you....totally agree!
Please get on it right away dearest @shopgirl4cc :lol::lol: (kidding!! I know an entire family pic would be a LOT of work!)

Dear @shopgirl4cc, This part made me laugh so hard too!! You are such a smart lady. I always admire your beautiful mod shots with your gorgers Chanel :girlsigh:and I went back to see your mod shots but cannot find all at once now. I wish i could see your entire collection like other ladies said But you must be busy and i feel bad to give you another pressure again like i did for comparison....So sorry if i did! :doh: if it bother too much to ask you to take another photos of your entire collection...maybe you could gather your beautiful mod shots here?:love:

ps ; Sorry again! only if that would be little bit easier for you...how it would be so delightful...:heart:

I just noticed this dark red mini matches with 16 fall necklace which has 2 tone of dark red glasses. I purchased this necklace in Paris last December but wore only twice until now....I am happy this 17B will help this necklace to come out more often...:smile:

Wow! I absolutely love your bags!
