My SA was excited to show this bag to me so I tried this bag on at my local Saks. It was SO comfortable on the shoulder. Very lightweight and fit close to the body.

Though I was initially drawn to the vintage feel of the bag, I passed. Overall I felt like the multi-tone hardware, quilting, large CC logo, and shiny leather were just too much. Kinda felt all over the place with style on this one :tdown:

I like this bag. I think the shininess gives it it's cool. Is the CC on both sides? I think it's the first Chanel tote I would be tempted by. Some mod shots from those who own would be great. Thanks in advance...xx

CC is on one side, large back pocket for easy access to phone. It's like a never full, but with magnetic or snap closure and a large pocket on the back. I hope someone can do a mod shot for us! I'm sooooooo tempted!

I hear ya! Something is holding me back. But I love the style so much. It's exactly what I love.

Did anybody purchase this bag and get a chance to use it yet? I am thinking about purchasing it soon. I really like the multicolor chain and the shiny crumpled leather. It definitely has a vintage vibe and is very comfortable to wear. It can be casual or dressy and seems quite durable. Please post some mod shots if you have this bag!

I really like this bag but passed on it after trying it on as I felt it was too crumpled. I think the leather and shine are gorgeous and I like the vintage vibe to it. I'm actually waiting for this bag from Act 2 to arrive as it could be a good alternative.

Did you wind up getting this bag? If so, what do you think about it? I bought the shiny tote and absolutely love it....and now I'm really liking the look of this bag and thinking I should snag it before it disappears.

I did get it! It's positively wonderful. My favorite thing about it? When I toss it on my shoulder, my elbow fits under the strap, so it's easy to do it one-handed. It's soooo lightweight and perfectly laid out. I'm so glad I have it!
