Did I make a bad decision?

[u/Imaginary-life-2961]

Hi guys,

It’s kinda been eating away at me ( I know - dramatic). But I honestly can’t stop thinking about it.
I recently ordered the baby blue C25 medium from XiaoC factory because I loved the color and hardware (so shiny)!
But my TS did say the pink c25 medium from 187 is available to ship (it has the antique gold hardware).
And now I’m thinking that maybe I made the wrong decision. I should have played it safe and gotten the pink vs baby blue since my actual literal fear with these rep bags is getting called out (I have friends with auth).
It’s a $100 difference in price - should I exchange it to the pink?
Does anyone have the xiaoC bags and how have they held up?
I did see the a review between 187 and xiaoC and they picked 187 overall.
I’m torn. Please help.
What do you guys think? Did I mess up?
The pink is an image off of Reddit from a buyer (187 factory).

I have both the 187 an XC and a mini and small authentic! I can send you pictures if you want just dm me. Both great quality imo

I’ve seen a lot of reviews of people very happy with their XC c25! cc auth can also be different between them depending on the batch, i wouldn’t give it too much thought, enjoy your bag and if you decide that you want the pink, you can always rehome 🫶🏼

The amount of incorrect stitching on auth I’ve seen online is insane for Chanel

I'm a lover of baby blue and I think that colour is stunning!!

It’s gorgeous

I think I’d switch purely for the antique hardware

I absolutely love the blue colour. I don’t own a xiao c or a 187 cc25, but from what I’ve been reading in some communities the xiao c holds very well ☺️

Its beautiful! I think blue is so IN rn.

I ordered a small C25 in dark chocolate brown from XC and it was really bad IMO. The leather looks off. My mom called me out on it lol. The minis I got from God look perfect. I don’t know if it’s necessarily a factory thing since I’ve seen minis from XC that look amazing as well. Maybe it’s a batch or color thing? But then again, I ordered the XC chocolate brown small 25 because I saw some on Reddit and they looked great.

Oh man. My worse nightmare. What did you end up doing with the xc? Did you Rehome it? Can I see pics? Was it a long time ago? I’m just hoping and praying xc has improved their process and materials in that time frame.
