How is your experience with the hardware so far? Any risk that it might chip? (Maybe you saw in the Chanel forum, I'm looking at a Chanel wallet with this dark hardware but the reports of it chipping are holding me back.)

Lovely!!!And on Thursday this week, this gorgeous silver sweetie accompanied me on her maiden voyage. I had an important work event and she made me feel like the proverbial million bucksIntroducing my brand new (all-caviar
) Coco Handle, chevron in a pewter/gunmetal colour. I think she's fabulous; and also a cool neutral while most of my bags are warm tones. I just want to sit and coo at her prettiness
It's lovely
I thought I’d chime in here, I have two small cardholders, one medium ocase and one flat cardholder with black hardware and none of them have chipped - at least I can’t see any. I throw them in in my bag and pockets and don’t baby them at all. The medium o case is heavily used.
Hi Cherry and thank you
Is the hardware on your Chanels the same as the hardware on this wallet below? On this wallet the hardware is so dark that you can hardly differentiate between it and the leather. Maybe it's just the pic? If it is the same as yours I need to get shopping right away because I spoke to a store in Paris a few days ago and they said there are only a few left. https://www.chanel.com/fr_FR/mode/p...feuille-255-veau-vieilli-metal-noir-noir.html

I took the pics in the sunlight to hopefully show up any chipping. Here’s another with the blinds down using a flash. They are all definitely black, the boy purse is very shiny and I think this is most like your photo. You should buy it, the black hardware is lovely and I find it easier to look after than the classic silver cc, which I’m currently having polished up.
Ooooh, getting a bit excited here, enabler you!
This is really good news *excitedly clapping my imaginary seal fins* 
I really wanted this wallet but had decided not to because not having seen them irl, I thought the hw was prone to chipping or that the black was somehow painted on, or just too black and not metal. I was choosing between this and a Bal moto wallet in a gorgeous red, but I already have a few Bal bags/slg so I want to branch out a bit and am planning on a red Bal City anyway. I wasn't feeling the Bal wallet 100% and it felt very dreary to have to wait for next year's Chanels.
Another good thing about the Chanel wallet is that it's calfskin, and it just seems "sturdier" than the lambskin for a wallet. And there is no zipper on the back, so only hw on the front to look out for.
I'm going to take a couple of deep breaths and then later today I'll probably make the call to order the wallet. Ordering unseen is the worst but I keep doing it
PS. Do seasonal Chanel items ever go on sale? I'd hate to pay and discover that it's down 1/3 of the price next week.

This is such a friendly thread I love Italy, Italian is the most beautiful language in the world to me. You- and your bags
Thank you Miss Dawn — beautiful places and wonderful food. I also live vicariously through others here. Enjoy.
Love seeing these, brings back memories of my Mums 80th birthday that we spent there. Do enjoy
You make the BEST collages—I think it helps to have the BEST vacays too
. Your RED Gucci is amazing—yeah, I probably need one too
. Enjoy your fab vacay
.
I agree-- I was wondering how @Miss_Dawn did it!!!
Lovely!!!
It's lovely
It’s fairy new since I got it this spring & carried only about 5 times. I don’t really baby my bags & don’t see any issue coming up. I had the same concern when I was buying this bag. The SA told me they did have problem with so black hardware in some previous years but issue has been corrected so I shouldn’t have any hardware chipping problem with new so black lines. That’s what I heard.

I probably should take this to the Chanel forum, because now suddenly they've added another version of the wallet and both are beautiful, I really like the calf leather, looks very black. How to choose?!I’m all for such important off-topics
