Hi, lovely tPFs!
I have quite the dilemma. I'm finally getting my HG , CHANEL Chevron Black Jumbo. I need help with my next purchase, asap! I'm quite the loyalist to Madame Coco and am not sure if I should use this opportunity to get two Chanels (vintage xl and chevron) or step outside the box with the Proenza Schouler PS1, most likely black.
My concerns with the Vintage Jumbo XL is that it maybe too boxy, too heavy, too large, and/or too gaudy and will end up being a display piece, in my closet. I know that the XL can stand the test of time, quality-wise, but I like my bags to be a bit more discreet although I am in love with the bag. I am in awe of its timeless beauty. My concerns with the PS1 are all of the QC issues. I don't want a bag that costs over $1000 to have ripped linings, chipped hardware etc. within a few months of purchase. Not to mention, I'm not sure that it has that juno se qua; or if it's a bit too masculine for a handbag.
However, the PS1 is relatively new so it should be around for awhile. Whereas the XL is a discontinued vintage that is harder to find at a decent price point (sub $3k). I wish I could buy all three, but I can't justify buying three pricey handbags at once. Please, help me decide with support for your answers. TIA!
**Keep in mind, I'm a college student with an Alexander Wang-esque (Pre-fall 2010) fashion sense and a taller than average, slender (but not "skinny") build.**
