Hi all!

I have fallen in love with the 20C Red but with the price increases I would have to be able to use it a lot in order to justify the purchase. I worry about what I could wear it with. I tried it on with a charcoal grey sweater and it looked great! And also a light grey sweater.

What do you guys wear your red bags with?

TIA!
I have the 20c red in small and absolutely adore this bag! I wear it quite often...it obviously looks great with black, white, nude, camel, navy, yellow, blue...I’m sure it goes with even more colors than I’ve listed. It goes with a lot actually and is a wonderful pop of color! If you just want to throw on jeans and a black or white t, a red bag makes the outfit! Good luck!

I think red goes with everything. Neutrals, pastels, florals, black/ white, denim. I even wear red with red. Red with fuchsia is very sexy too.
I wear my red bags with everything. But then again, half the times I don't bother to color match. My friend says I look like a box of crayons! :lol:

Thank you all! I have her sitting on the chair in my bedroom so that I can just look at her. I absolutely love this shade of red - I am quite surprised that she was still available in the boutique. Anyone who loves an orangey-red, this is for you! I never had a red bag on my wish list, in fact I used to tell my friends that I’d never get one. But, I saw this colour on a few YT videos and then in person and fell in love. I’m excited to find outfits to wear her with. :)

Another one here that thinks that red is very neutral.

I wear my red bag with black, white, blue and of course red. But it goes with almost any other colour(s).

I am planning to get at least another red bag or 2 or 3, haha.

Hi,

If you don't mind could you pls post few pics of your red Chanel 20C bag?

Now I'm in the same boat as you. My boutique has one medium 20c red and I'm on the fence about it. Just trying to imagine if it's too orangey-red? And if the 20c red can be paired with a lot like a darker red with blue undertone.

I worry that I might purchase a wrong shade of red. A red bag itself it's definitely on my wishlist.

There is only one boutique in my country and it's a day's travel. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.

Hi - the 20c red is not really orangey...it might appear that way in artificial lighting that casts a yellow hue. It almost has pink undertones. The finish on the bag is very nice, and my quilts are so puffy. I bought a 19b red and burgundy and 20c at the same time. I only kept 20c. 19b was nice but the finish was slightly dull to me and the quilts seemed flatter, and it just seemed less striking for some reason. It was very nice still and I know it was very popular but I was just drawn to 20c more in person. I actually turned down 20c twice before I saw it in person because I thought it was orange because of the photos and boutique lighting. In the third photo, 19b is on the right. In the fifth, it’s 19b red, burgundy, and 20c red. In the 6th, another comparison of 20c and 19b. I hope this helps!

I think warm orangey red goes with a wider range of colors than blue red... beautiful with all white, beige, camel tones... even with navy - orangey red is a more subtle harmonious pop of color that blue red.
If you look at a “color wheel” just see what shades compliment orangey red vs. blue red, just play with it :)
I myself have a blue red small Reissue and wish to get my hands on more orangey red as it is more versatile :)

Thank you both ladies. You are do right...orange red seems to be better than blue red for the extra something something. I am warm toned as well, so warm toned reds might suit me better.

I too felt the 20C looks prettier (in colour and leather texture) than 19B. However, I saw this pic online and thought the instagrammer was wearing an orange toned red, but against it the 20C red looks pink. That's my dilemma :confused1:

I think red pretty much a neutral color can pair with anything neutral too, but specially looks good with black grey white camel teal or green , even ok with yellow and purple . I don’t plan to pair red with red or with orange or pink .

I’m so sorry for the delay! I didn’t see this post until today. I will put up some pics but will tell you that the red is hard to capture in a photo. But in real life it’s totally gorgeous! It’s more orangey-red than blue undertones. But very hard to describe. Any chance you can see it in person to help you decide?
