well at least you'll have more stores in Paris to chose from... as I told another forumer, Chanel boutiques further from the Paris Central may have more stocks as they are out of the way. I got my sis beige jumbo caviar from St Honore (no one in store when I was there, a contrast to the crowded Montaigne).. and the forumer tried her luck calling there just now and manage to "chope" her bag.

even for Maxi there is none at Rome as well?

whoa, but how many days do they allow to "chope" for?

Rarababy! Just an update, my husband called Rome last night, they say that they usually have stock for black and beige flaps( sizes no guarantee though) and if u are looking for the new Red, they are hoping it will be in by end of July or early August. And you can call to reserve 48 hours before( that's what the staff said). HTH

It is on the left of the Spanish steps (if you are on the steps). in my opinion though the stores with more stocks are Milan and of course, Paris. What are you planning to buy? Are you from Singapore by any chance? :)

Cyanara, thnx again for all the valuable info! Ooh I thought one passport per bag but gosh didn't realise there needs to be a gap of 2 mths before being able to get another. :-(

So you really need some serious luck. But if its lambskin you are getting for jumbo you should be able to get it no prob. you can get the numbers for all the boutiques from the chanel webby.

Gosh! I am praying that I will get my med caviar( most likely black) when my husband travels there. I am looking for SHW but my friend says grab either hardware if they have stock for size I'm looking for. Lol. I prefer silver but would not mind gold as well. Both looks nice. Hee.
I'd like to confirm with you, we can purchase only one per passport, but if item is different can we still purchase under that same passport? Read somewhere that u can buy but it can only be one for each type. Thnx a lot! Glad you finally got all your goodies! It is indeed hard to get some of the items! Even in Milan just early this month, GST was in and out in a day or two! :-0

Hi jdmf,

Thanks for the info!

Oh no, now i'm torn between black & red jumbo!
Heard this year's red is really nice!

I'll be arriving rome on 7th but I can only purchase the bag on 16th Aug!
As 10-16th Aug, I'll be backpacking to the South of Italy~

Gawd, hopefully they hav. If not, maybe maxi? Hmmm

Hope there a red in Rome for me to get in August!

I learned from the SA that before this July it used to be one classic bag and one other bag per passport. Now it is only one bag.. (any bag). I don't know if WOC counted as bag. You can still use the same passport to buy anything that isn't a bag as I recall. You may want to check with an SA before buying anything.

oh man.. I just bought 2 chanels and now you are both tempting me to get the red... is it really that nice? any pics?

Black GST or Red Jumbo?

I saw it from here! Not sure if this is the latest red for this season!

But then again, maybe I'll go for black since it's much easier to match with
& is my 1st cc bag.

Beige looks so pretty too!

Red is seasonal color. The red may not be the same shade always...
