Hi everyone, I didn't know who to ask for advice. So I'll be graduating college, instead of purchasing a college ring, I really want to purchase a luxury bag for myself. I've been torn between purchasing a Louis Vuitton neverfull gm, or a Chanel WOC in caviar.

As far as my bag needs, most of the time I just carry cash, my debit card, and eyeglasses. On occasions when I visit home and have my little brothers with me, I'll find myself carrying my things along with theirs.

Which bag would you best advise me of purchasing?
 
Thank you so much, @vanillaicepink and @mssmelanie! Now I just need to work up the nerve to stop looking at it and start using it ; )

I think a lot of us know how you feel. Whenever I got my first designer bag of any designer, I would just take it out of the box and just stare at it. You have to just break that seal and go for it! It’s caviar so that’s a plus that it’s durable and worry free. So start tomorrow and take pics and post in the “photos of your CHANEL in action” [emoji4]

Congratulations on your upcoming graduation [emoji68]‍[emoji310] [emoji322] I would say that you should get a bag that you will get the most use out of. If you can fit your eyeglasses in a CHANEL WOC, then I would go for that. The LV Neverfull GM is also a great graduation gift for yourself. It sounds like you might use that less. Get what you think you will use the most. You can always add the other later to celebrate your first job [emoji12]

Better to get your chanel now than later as the price will increase faster than LV. That’s what I’m doing right now. I have some LV bags on my list but I postpone all of them and put my fund into buying Chanel now before I can’t afford it anymore :)

Congratulation on your graduation!

What do you think? Is this a keeper?
Chevron WOC from 18 Cruise, Timeless Classic Greek Collection.
SA sold it as caviar, but found a blog post mentioning the new grained lambskin.
Just got off the phone with a wonderful representative at Chanel customer service.
She’s confirmed this is aged grained lambskin with pale gold hardware in dark beige.
She says I’m very lucky to have purchased this bag as it’s a highly requested item and there is no available inventory.
Your thoughts please!
I Love this bag. You're so lucky to get it. I was desperate for it it this color or black for my birthday and I can't find one anywhere :( Enjoy it!!

Hi guys! Need some advice on this beautiful reissue woc. I have a mini square black caviar and lghw. I wanted to add a woc that is different than the black caviar and I got a beige one. It was beautiful but I sold it as I was too scared of color transfer and wasn’t using it at all. An SA texted me this and the leather is so soft and beautiful. I love the turn lock as well. But I was not looking for a so black piece. I love the dainty jewellery like feeling of gold hardware on the woc. So is that a deal breaker and should I not keep this reissue woc?! I guess classic design caviar woc and this one are two very different looks...I already have ghw on the mini! #firstworldproblems.

Hi Shijay,
I have the so black chevron reissue WOC and love it. I know this so black WOC is rare to come by. It is truly a special piece. I adore the soft leather and its plushness. I think it is also understated in a subtle elegant way. It is also pricier than the classic one. I kept mine for those occasions I wish to not bother matching hardwares. I do have a black caviar classic WOC with shw, and a few minis. Let us know what you decide to do.
Kind regards,
