Only you know how intend to wear the different styles mentioned in your post and how anxious you are about scratches/wear on your bags. As previously mentioned lamb is generally less carefree/color transfer than caviar but you should not fear it if the color and style appeal to you.
Which Chanel bag styles do you prefer in Lambskin/Caviar?

I agree with you..
Especially the last statement.. it applies to my recent purchase 100%...
You know the statement of not getting a light colored bag in lambskin, which I always read here scares me every time lol!
My last purchase is a red mini chevron in lambskin, being a caviar lover makes me worry bit but I just loved the deep red with ghw!
And I always ask.. is red considered light? Lol
Hello ladies!
I just purchased my first rectangle mini yesterday, but I wanted the caviar and they only had 1 last lambskin in black left. After searching for a few yrs I had to buy it.... I am debating if I should exchange for store credit and wait for the caviar because I am so worried I will scratch it (based on my prior experience with lambskin bags). But yet she is so beautiful!
Also, when you purchase your Chanel bags, do the SA always cut off the price tag? I didn't even get the box that has the product description sticker...I bought mine from the Bloor West store in Toronto.
Any comments would be much appreciated!

I have a So Black lamb jumbo and a black lamb mini with shiny RHW. Normally I would not get a Jumbo in lamb, but so black had to be the exception. I second everyone who said lamb in smaller sizes and no light colors, normally I would not get a Jumbo in lamb, but so black had to be the exception. For a Boy my preference is calfskin, too much wear on corners, etc as gorgeous as it looks in black lamb.
Wow! That chevron and red combo is stunning!
I think red is probably not considered light. I feel like lambskin with red is a must because the colour is just so much more saturated. I really only actively avoid lambskin with light pinks, beige and baby blues. I feel like those colours are particularly prone to colour transfer or at least its so much more visible.
With items in red, royal blues and other brighter colours (but not pastels) like this seasons turquoise and dark pink, I honestly think that they look so much better in lamb. Dye takes to lambskin so much nicer and the colour is vibrant! When I compare two bags that are supposed to be the same colour in lamb and caviar, the lambskin is usually what takes my breath away.

Couldn't agree more about color saturation being better in lambskin [emoji108]
Thank you so much dear for reassuring me and for complementing my beloved mini [emoji257]
And to the original poster, sorry for hijacking the thread [emoji85][emoji56] I wish all the luck in whatever decision you make!
Everyone prefers caviar it seems, and I have as well always. However ever since actually owning a lambskin mini, it has changed my views completely.
First, it is NOT as delicate as everyone out its, I find it quite durable.
Two, the luxurious feel of he leather is amazing!!

Hi blueluna! I bought a WOC at Holt Renfrew Vancouver BC a few days ago and they cut off the tags too. I also didn't get the box with the product description sticker.
Yes I agree with lallybelle.I prefer caviar leather but because the jumbo black on black hardware is so hard to come by,I bought it without regret.If you are looking for mini in caviar,if I'm you,I will wait as your love for caviar leather will still be there
oh my, so black mini flap is my dream bag so I wouldn't mind either lamb or caviar.
Maybe this question has asked and answered....
For those of you that prefer caviar over lamb, is due to durability, or do you simply like the look of caviar over lamb?
I have both, I find the Lambskin as my favorite, I also appreciate the look of caviar. I admit that my beige Lambskin makes me nervous to use without worry for accidental damages. I used my caviar for a holiday party, never put her down. I am thoughtful of any of my bags, Chanel or not. The next morning I went to change out my bag and found something had spilled onto the caviar bag. Most likely someone else next to me as we mingled, I was able to simply wipe it off, but if it wasn't for being a black bag, perhaps there's a residual mark on my bag. However, I can't find anything. I have a recent lovely gift from DH in black Lambskin, but am nervous to use at a crowded fluid party, and it's an older crowd. But I love both, Lambskin and Caviar.
