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?

Hi there,

Thank you for replying. You had answered my query in another post, so thank you.

However, I've decided not to go with the 20C one because of the pink undertones. I wear a lot of warm toned red (even orangish red), but I'm afraid the 20C will clash due to its pink undertones.

This is the photo I've seen online that helped me decide not to.

And I live at least 1000kms from my nearest boutique which is the only one in the country. So all your info has really helped. Thank you so much @raradarling! :heart:

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.

Here are 2 pics - one near the window in natural light, the other away from the window (still natural light). You can see a pretty true to life representation of the actual colour in these pics. Hope this helps!E48739A0-1AC8-4BB1-82F1-6D72CF2DBAA2.jpeg9A1882AA-6BE4-472B-9E34-AC5F9197BBF8.jpeg

Black Red and Gold together! Black jeans, a blouse with reds and blacks in it, gold jewelry ans a red bag with red or gold heels! :) my fav combo of colors this time of year! I am thinking of getting a red bag too as I dont have one currently. But looking for preloved.... maybe 1-3 years old but the current red does pop!!

I've had it for quite a while...I also have it in blk/wt. I wear them all winter long. Perfect over a heavy sweater. They are large and better suited for a taller person IMHO. Purchased from NAP and Farfetch for $800. I have seen them periodically on eBay.
For reference...I'm 5'10".
