oh dear lord! that would actually be a crime!! yes i agree that white is too risky!I don't have a chanel bag (yet!) but I think black is just such a classic colour, it would go with everything and you would never get sick of it. Red would be a great choice as well as it would stand out but you might get a bit fed up of it after a while? I would love love love it in the white but as others have said, it really would be more of a summer bag then and I don't know about you but I usually wear fake tan in the summer....can you imagine it rubbing off and getting fake tan all over your white chanel?!
