Oh I meant updating the family photo :)

I already:
Added a classic medium black flap with GHW (just before the May price increase)
Added a black old medium boy bag with antique GHW
A black deuaville (shown in the photo above)
Replaced the black square mini with a rectangular one

I’d love to see it!
Off topic, but which is your favorite? And what are your top three?

I’ll update the photo soon :hugs:

My absolute favorite is the classic medium flap!

Top 3.. hmmm that’s a tough one as I love them all! and if you notice the styles I’m into are limited to the ones I truly love and hence the duplicates :)

Does anybody know if the caviar leather texture changes every year? And if so, which month does it change? I initially wanted to go with the caviar leather for the WOC but am not fond of the small grains, it makes it look a little busy. I prefer the bigger and softer grain texture.

I bought my first Chanel in February 2011, which was a timeless WOC and it was $1250. Fast forward seven years, and the CRP is $2500. Due to CRP, I can honestly say, I will never buy another one but I will accept them as gifts. LOL The demand will continue to rise and so will the price.

I’m the proud owner of three. They’re beautiful, practical, stylish, and iconic. Luckily, I’ve never been waitlisted for any of them. I have an awesome SA, who I refer to as the handbag fairy. She’s been at Chanel for over 20 years and has found every bag that I’ve ever wanted.

Here’s a pic of my girls in timeless, classic, and boy featured in the order of purchase (from bottom to top). The boy has ruthenium matte silver/gold HW. I only buy black caviar leather bc it’s the most durable and the most practical color to compliment my wardrobe. I love them all equally.
You have a beautiful collection! Is the leather on the sides of the timeless woc smooth instead of caviar? Is the timeless only caviar on the front and back?
 
So after an awfully long time of browsing, wanting & lusting, I've finally joined the WOC club...

4 years ago, I wait listed at 3 of my local boutiques after seeing a photo of a WOC on the forum that I thought was beyond stunning. The understated simplicity of it appealed to me & as someone who has sold most of my larger bags, I wanted something that could be a 'grab & go' bag, that I could either dress up or dress down easily. Imagine my horror when it was discontinued a year later & the call never came from Chanel. Boo! Since then I've kept a regular eye out online, but often life has gotten in the way; vacations, lack of money... its always been something. Until recently...

A few weeks ago, I was browsing online over my morning cup of tea & stumbled across the WOC for me. She was shiny, new & in immaculate condition with all of the original packaging, card & receipt. Not only this, but the person selling her has been one of the most helpful & kind people I've had the fortune to meet online.

So, without further or do, here she is...

Is the caviar on the entire bag or just the front and back? Are the sides where it creases smooth?
