Hey everyone. I'm looking to buy my very first chanel handbag and I'm torn between the chanel trendy cc which is part of the new paris in rome collection that just came out and the classic flap in m/l.
Here's the thing, I've lusted after the trendy cc since it came out last year, I believe part of the Dubai collection (don't quote me on this). But it was sold out as soon as it came out and ever since I couldn't get it out of my head. So you can imagine how ecstatic I was when I heard that it was being relaunched this year XD.
I went in the store pretty much already set on bringing the trendy cc home with me however I started having second thoughts on the way to the store. Here's my thought process:
Trendy cc pros
- not part of the classic line, so If I pass up this chance to buy it who knows when it will come out again
- have been lusting over this bag for a year
- holds a lot more than class flap large size, great for every day use
- has a lot of classic elements like the simple quilted look, the top handle which resembles many vintage chanels
cons
- around the same price as the class flap (around $6025 depending on where you live)
- may go out of style (hopefully not)
classic flap pros
- will never go out of style
- good choice for first handbag
- caviar leather which is the one I'm planning on going for is more durable for everyday use
I've tried both on already and they both look gorgeous so aesthetically I think I'm equally drawn to both. It's just a matter of which is a better first chanel piece. I know I've said a lot already but what do you guys think, which would you choose? Do you think the trendy cc will go out style in a few years? Any opinion is appreciated!!
