Thanks for all you input. I decided to go for the Chanel and discovered that "GASP" the Grand Shopping was made in NAVY-alas it's sold out EVERYWHERE!! Getting a little crazy over this bag-real obsessing going on(was making international calls).
Have 1 in Chanel Beige on order to arrive at NM next week so that may be a good second. Swankymama gave me a glimmer of hope-will try that angle tomorrow.
I tell you-I love this forum. Where else would I find people who understand the obsessive need to find the perfect bag:shame:
