I had an old chain around maxi which I bought in 2013. I was always a bit edgy so really liked that it was different. At that time, I also had 1 classic and one more classic looking bag. So two other Chanel bags as alternatives. That bag was also supposedly in Gossip girl, although I didn’t really know or care. It was a bit trendy I guess. I did tire of my chain around rather quickly but kept it for a while sitting in the back of my closet. I ended up selling the bag 3 years ago with less than a dozen uses. I got roughly 70% of my money back; it was in excellent, like new condition. I see you are really on the fence about it judging by this and other posts. What this tells me is that you have doubts about it yourself. For that amount of money, you should get a bag you are 100% certain of yourself, a bag that makes you feel happy and proud (weird I get this feeling when I wear certain bags lol). I have bought bags that I was a bit unsure of that people told me to keep, but I knew deep down that I wouldn’t be happy with it. The ones I did keep, I did end up regretting. So listen to your gut. No ones opinion should matter except your own. If you like it, you know.
