2. Bought this on consignment site, but have an option to return it once I receive it. The only caveat is that I won’t get it on time before my return period closes for the previous one. This one is caviar, bought around $4800 after tax, so it is almost $1000 savings🥺. Condition is great as well
They are very different colors. Money aside, which one is your favorite? $1000 savings doesn’t mean much if you are forking over $4800 for a bag you don’t love.
I don’t love the boy bag in general but would probably get it in black or gray - both of these seem like colors you might get sick of (and will be much less desirable if you ever decide to sell).

Tbh i LOVE the pink color but i also really like the caviar champagne color, esp that it is caviar. Very torn! The 1000 savings is an added plus to the champagne color. On a side note, why do u think that the champagne one wouldn’t sell for much? I could understand the pink one, but I thought that neutrals are doing quite well

1. This one i already purchased but the return period is still open (calfskin leather), $5300 plus tax, total around $5700
I'll give you another angle.
Buying resale is not only practical, but it's also better for the environment as it's almost recycling.
Caviar champagne color is more versatile; you can match it with more outfits than the pink one.
Also, last week I learned that Coco Chanel was a Nazi agent and openly anti-semitic, and I'm not a Chanel client any longer and will be sending my Chanel stuff to a consignment store.

Isn’t Caviar supposed to be more durable than calfskin? I may be wrong here. But I’d go for the nude one regardless as the color seems more versatile - assuming you can verify authenticity.
The pic looks like another shade of pink to me - do you know the exact year / color?
Resale on the boy bag is generally lower bc the style shows wear/ creases more than others, and that is even more evident on lighter colors.

Actually, you are right. It does say “pink”, but doesn’t provide the specific code. It is a 25 series
I think the gold hardware is dressier/more classic and personally I think that shade of pink is a perfect neutral. Works with brown, black, and blue. Although I would consider the durability of the different materials.
