Yay! A Maxi thread. I am new to this site and just bought my first Chanel (maxi) a few weeks ago. I couldn't be happier with the size choice. I almost bought the Caviar w/ SHW, but it was just too much (shiny) for me. I had been obsessed w/ the 'so black' edition (unfortunately that ship has sailed, and from what I was told it was only offered in the Jumbo size) - so I was looking for something comparable. My SA told me about the RHW in lambskin....SOLD. My God I love this bag...
