I'm shopping around for a proper Chanel cambon but am confused with the heaps of variations out there and the multitude of answers.

Cheers!

The color combo is authentic, however if you have questions about a specific bag from ebay, etc. post it over in the authentication thread and someone will definitely be glad to help!

Quick question... The first poster said that there was no such thing as a beige and black cambon reporters bag. Does that mean a black bag with beige C's or a beige bag and black C's?

I don't recall the OP saying anything about Cambon Reporter bags specifically. She mentioned the Cambon line, which has a variety of styles. As far as the black and beige combination goes, I believe it is the black bag with the beige C's that does not exist. I have seen an authentic Cambon Bucket that was beige with black C's. I think I have also seen the Bowler style in that color combination. I'm pretty sure that the Reporter comes in that color combination though as well.
