I’m in the market for a grey Chanel bag with silver hardware next but need help and advice about which model. For some background, my current Chanel collection is only 2 caviar CF, one black GHW and the other white LGHW. The most useful bags for my life currently are either small crossbody or shoulder bags for quick errands and bags large enough to put a cardigan or light jacket in- my most used bags are an Hermes mini roulis (love how this can switch between shoulder and crossbody and the size is great), a Celine nano Luggage and a Birkin 30 (fits a cardigan). Unfortunately the CF, although they make me very happy to look at, have been used mostly for going out to dinner or lunch. However, I‘m not one to feel bad for not using a bag/worry about cost per wear, with the mindset more like a collector. The only pet peeve is quality Issues and fast wear and tear, hence my hesitation about the mini since they only come in lambskin nowadays; I considered the square pearl crush for the adjustable strap but heard the leather wears real fast. I’m hesitant to shop preloved (for caviar minis) with the skill of counterfeiters nowadays. Looks wise, I prefer low key for work, reissue can definitely be used more often for my workplace than mini or especially CF with the CC logo. I want a reissue to complete my collection..as it is a historically significant bag model but end of the day like the CC logo more. I might become annoyed at how reissue flaps get that tent fold at the top. Im hesitant about the boutique price of larger reissues but like the idea of putting a cardigan inside. Thanks for the help!
