Okay, so I’ve been wanting a Chanel handbag for like, ever. You know, the classic kind, but I wasn’t sure about the color. Black is always a safe bet, but then I saw this white one, and I was like, “Hmm, interesting.” So, I started my little mission to figure out which one to get.

First, I hit up some stores. Just to, you know, see them in person. Touching the leather, trying them on with different outfits – the whole deal. The black one was gorgeous, obviously. Super chic, you can wear it with anything. But that white one… it just popped, you know? It felt so fresh and different.
Then came the deep dive online. I must have read a million reviews and watched every YouTube video out there. People were all, “White gets dirty,” and “Black is forever.” I get it, I really do. But I kept going back to pictures of that white Chanel. I even made a pro/con list, like a crazy person.
My Totally Official Pro/Con List
- Black Chanel
- Pro: Goes with everything.
- Pro: Won’t show dirt.
- Pro: Timeless, classic, blah, blah, blah.
- Con: A bit… predictable?
- White Chanel
- Pro: Stunning! Unique!
- Pro: Perfect for summer.
- Con: Might get dirty.
- Con: Maybe not as versatile?
After all that, I still couldn’t decide. I talked to my friends, my mom, even my dog (he wasn’t much help). Finally, I just decided to go with my gut. And you know what? I went for the white one!
I figured, life’s too short for boring bags, right? I know I’ll have to be a bit more careful with it, but honestly, I don’t even care. I love it. And that’s all that matters. Plus, I bought some of that special leather cleaner, just in case. So, yeah, that’s my story about getting my white Chanel bag. It was a whole process, but totally worth it!
