Hi... sorry, going to bug you again... but these bags are not cheap and you need to be sure and have all the info to make the right decision.
Are you sure you don't want it in GHW? I have a beige claire GST in GHW, and that bag literally glows. It is the most gorgeous combo. I've seen the beige with SHW combo, and while it is pretty, it gives a different look. Beige claire has yellow undertones, hence I think it is gorgeous with GHW. The SHW is too much of a contrast in my opinion and takes away the beauty of the bag.
Ahh... the question of matching the hardware up with jewelry. Well... my two cents on that as well. I wear only platinum or white gold jewelry and pearls. Nothing yellow gold. So... I used to think I also had to match my bag hardware with my jewelry, but that's not true.
The hardware for the bag should bring out the beauty of the bag. You want the bag to shine, and glow on its on when it is just sitting there for all to admire. I almost bought a black with SHW, but then as I was going to Chanel to get it, my husband sees the black with GHW, and says... "the black with GHW is stunning with that bag instead of the SHW... there is no comparison". So... my point is... get the hardware that makes the bag glow and shine. The bag is in the spotlight.
Just my two cents. But truly the beige with GHW glows. That is the most beautiful combo ever because the GHW blends into the undertones of the yellow with the beige claire. Whew... I hope that all made sense.
Sorry for all the long posts... but these are not cheap bags!
