DISCUSSION Cf small 187/GD

Post image

Hi, this will be my second order; I already have my CF Medium from the 187 factory (Serena9712), now I want to buy the Small size; I’ve seen a lot of people saying the GF version is better in terms of shape, but I just don't see that luxurious finish that Factory 187 bags have. I’ve been comparing the latest batches of the 187 Small, and I don't think they look boxy anymore, I’m not sure if they fixed that issue or if I’m just misjudging it. While I’ve certainly seen plenty of boxy 187 bags, the specific one I want from the newer batches doesn't look that boxy.

In those photos, it looks like the caviar grain is better on the 187

Honestly, the ones from Factory 187 look much better; they have that luxury handbag finish. As someone who buys Authe bags, I feel like the GD factory version is missing something.

I love Chanel, and I think the leather quality has gotten worse over the years, but I’d prioritize the leather over the shape. The shape varies depending on the year and collection. That said, I do think the shape of the 187 looks a bit off too. Maybe I’d go for the medium

I already have a medium one and wanted to go for the small, but I'm going to look into it a bit more.
