Should You Pick Golden Chain Or Silver Chain, Need Advice

I have a fab collection of Chanel bags, I got the medium flap bag as well as the maxi, 2.55 reissue bags, some WOCs and many other items. I just love Chanel, now that it is going up in prices I actually love them more LOL. But I consider myself as a older Chanel fan, not a newbie, so based on that I am going to give some advice in picking the golden chain and silver chain.

Worst thing you can do is mixed two colors together because you like that at the moment. I bought a purple Chanel jumbo flap bag with golden chain before. Oh my Oh my, what was that a wrong choice. It’s all starts in the belly, just like when you are in love. You will feel the butterfly and then you imagine all the good things you will do with the Chanel bag you buy. In my case, I imagined how great it will be with my purple Chanel jumbo flap bag, all the clothing combination I can wear.

Then it continued to searching on the internet for a few information, especially when to buy it. You will ending up with asking your BF or other friends for advice. ‘should I buy this bag?’ ‘Does it look good on me’. Never ask a non-Chanel-lover for ANY advice, they don’t know a thing about Chanel. Ask a Chanel lover, if you can’t find one, makes some on forums or on this website. (or you can post some pics and ask for advice on this site). Non-Chanels (which is how I call people than are not into Chanels), will never give you good advice, they will doubt, say something stupid, makes you even more confuse. Some of them will tell you to never buy or that you are crazy spending that much money.

Off topic OMG, let’s get back…

Finally, you will walking up to the Chanel boutique and then buying the bag. That’s how I end up with a purple Chanel jumbo flap bag with golden chain. I love if in the beginning, but a week later it just stands there on my shelf, waiting for I don’t know what? I did not love it anymore and regret in paying so much money on the bag.

But anyways, the colors of your Chanel bags have to match with the Chain color. Here are some timeless combination:

Chanel medium flap bag, black color with silver chain. (this combination is in my opinion most sold, I have been to Paris a few times and this combination is almost always sold out).

So black color with silver chain always work. It fits, because it is kind of black meets white. This combination color does not makes the Chanel stand out and having you draw attention. If you don’t like people kept looking at you, then this is a good choice. This bag is a good choice when you are at a wedding or some quiet events.

Many people wear black with golden chain. This combination will give you the feeling of luxury, high class and draw a bit more attention (because of the gold). This bag is good when wearing if you go out with friends, give you a fabulous experience.

Purple with golden chain? No, but purple with silver chain will look much better. It is because the purple color attention drawing already. The white chain will neutral that feeling, so you got a bit of ying yang combination.

Red with golden chain. Ever see the jumbo bag with red color and golden chain? The golden CC on the front makes the bag perfect. Combine this will a golden chain and you will have a excellent bag. This bag is obvious attention drawing, because its red DUUH. But it is an amazing bag, give you a much more feeling of summer time.

Beige with golden chain and white chain. I think both chain are oke with beige. It depends on how you feel about the bags. Beige with golden chain makes you much more feeling like luxury, while silver is not. But both combination are oke. I prefer silver chain though.

Purple with golden chain. I can’t imagine wearing a purple Chanel bag with golden chain, silver can be accepted. But its far much better to have purple keep in the purple.

Each person have their opinion about golden and silver chain. These are mine, if you have any thought, please share them with me, would love to talk about that.

  1. Hi Alex, I recently bought a classic flap bag medium with silver hdw. When I tried on it, I feel that I would prefer gold more than silver as silver seems kinda “blend” on me. I own a large size too in silver and I definitely lean on silver than gold for large size and I am in love with it as it’s spacious. Do you think I should get another piece of medium with gold and sell the medium in silver now? Or own both and sell silver later. If I own both I am sure I will use gold more often for medium size. All are in black caviar leather. What’s your opinion?

  2. Hi Alex, thank you for the great blog. You wrote it quite clear about your opinion on the look and feel of SHW or GHW on the Chanel medium flap bag. I have always wanted the classic medium with the gold chain since I have mostly gold jewelry. But when I went to the shop, the GHW really looked bling-bling. It’s very shiny gold, not like the lighter gold in some other newer/seasonal Chanel bag. That was a bit disappointing for me, I wish the classic make the chain in lighter gold color, too. At the shop in Copenhagen, at the time, have only the medium in SHW and jumbo in GHW. I tried both on and I have gotta say I’d feel more comfortable carrying the medium in SHW as an everyday bag than carrying a gold chain. The sale rep pushed for me to get the SHW in the medium since I dress a bit urban. That is sort of my look. However, my rings and earrings are gold. (I have a honey skin tone.) Do you think it is a BIG faux pas? Is it acceptable to mix and match the SHW Chanel bag with gold accessories? Have you seen many people that have done it and it worked? Looking forward to getting your thoughts. Thank so much!

    • Opps, I forgot to mention that the classic medium that I discussed above is with black caviar.

    • Hi Watanika, I understand how you feel. Sometimes I wear gold and it doesn’t feel right when my necklace is silver hardware. I think that’s really faux pas.

      But when it comes to Chanel Bag, the Silver hardware is interwoven with black leather. the SHW is more like in the background. But in the GHW, it stands out and shines, also thanks to the black leather (black and gold), the gold really stands out.

      So this is just my opinion. I don’t think there is any problem if you wear golden ring and earrings mixing with silver hardware Chanel Bag. There are plenty celebrities doing it.

      However, I have to say, you need to be comfortable with it. No fashion pieces are worth the purchase, unless you feel comfortable (and proud) wearing it.
