Seasonal or classic?

[Dadachux]

Which of the following seasonal bags ($2600-3400) or chanel classic would you choose? I think Id go for it in black or red.

1. Pondichery flap medium 3400
2. French Riveria 2600
3. Chanel 3 medium 3400
4. 2600 not sure what this is called
5. Classic flap

I feel like Id like the hardware on the classic more. Plus the classics would always go up in price. However, its less of a worry to use seasonal flaps as daily bags. This would be my first chanel. What do you guys think. Opinions are appreciated

Is this your first bag? Then go for a classic flap. Always go classic over trendy/seasonal - as they last for years... seasonal you can get tired of and want to sell.

Hi there! I settled with French Riviera before for an everyday bag in lieu of jumbo. I thought I would be happy. Although the French Riviera is a practical chanel catch based on its look and price point, i felt like its missing the Chanel elegance so I ended up exchanging it to a medium classic and now I'm waiting for my jumbo in the mail. It's a lesson learned for me not to settle with seasonal in replace with classic. If you want to start a Chanel collection, start with any in the classic line. You'll never regret it
if you can wait and save up for classic go for it but if you are working on a budget and only want seasonal, I suggest the black French Riviera. It is practical, spacious and has a look of a classic flap

I'm not a fan of the riviera, so classic or the bag in the last photo looks nice.

Me too not a fan of riviera flap. Go for classic flap or reissue flap!

My vote is for the classic

 

[tutushopper]

Another vote for the classic flap; you will always remember your first Chanel, like your first kiss, and it should be special.

 

[taoping]

Classic flap too

Classic if this is your first chanel. You will never go wrong with Classic.
