      Lisa, you are such an enabler! I am just beginning my collection so my Chanel family isn’t like your family!

      My 2 reservations with the vintage Chanel Chevron bag are: 1. it is lambskin (though it actually looks a little more durable than lambskins today) and 2. It is a crossbody bag so it can’t be shortened (I was looking for a convertible shoulder to cross body bag).
      But the chevron is cool and it’s a vintage style. Should I still go for it?

    i love the chevron there’s something very 60’s bianca jagger-ish about chanel chevron! but if you are really looking for a crossbody that can also be worn shoulder length that might not be it. but i do really love how much room you get with a camera bag! ultimately you have to decide for yourself if it’s something you’ll use a lot :)!
