Wow, it looks like the flaps have it! I have to say that I never was a fan until joining TPF. I think it is partially the access issue, partially that they seemed dated to me (though I am coming around!) and partially the lack of space. I love Chanel totes with an open top that I can easily reach into as I am a SAHM of two young kids and I am always in and out of my bag. I think that when my time is freed up I will have to invest in a flap for shopping in the city. For now, I say the trusty old GST. To me it is the epitome of a fresh, young Chanel.
Either the black caviar with silver chain or the white modern chain tote for me....one of those always seem to go great with any outfit!! I love them both...they both make me do this!! (I have the the most bestest mama ever!!)
