hi Malinda and gotbighair !
Update : I did get a better deal on the site gotbighair provided! hehe!
BUT I was doing my research for that site and I am not too keen after reading the customer service that others here on TPF has recieved... so.. gotta pounder some more

Oh and tissue paper in ur naked flap? how creative! have u ever used it w/o covering the insides totally transparent?

Malinda · Jun 30th, 2009, 12:40 AM

Sure I've worn it transparent. I've placed my favorite Chanel Lipsticks: Lover and Charme, my pink credit card holder, and a pink Chanel travel ligne makeup bag to hold my keys so they wouldn't leave marks on the plastic.
I'll try posting a picture before I leave for my vacation to Wellington, FL

I'm looking forward to visiting some Chanel boutiques in Palm Beach, Palm Beach Gardens, Boca Raton, and possibly Bal Harbour if I get my way. But I may not be able to go to any. I'm crossing my fingers.

gotbighair · Jun 30th, 2009, 02:15 AM

^Girl, that's strange b/c the Hermes subforum loves jemznjewels...odd. But good thing you are doing your research...good luck!!

devilangel · Jun 30th, 2009, 05:42 AM

really? maybe she earned back her reputation in the past 2 years then.. haha
it dated back to '07 when i read about the shipping problems others has encountered..
oh well she uses fedex anyway... not preferable for me cuz not sure how much brokage fee they charge since i am in canada... $.$

DeeDeeDelovely · Jun 30th, 2009, 10:53 AM

i just saw one on ebay the other day...selling for 650 reserve is 500...i am not the best chanel expert(sometimes i can't tell just tell off of a pic only) lol ...so eventhough it looked real...i wasn't sure

devilangel · Jun 30th, 2009, 05:36 PM

thanks hun! Actually I was looking at it.. but the asking price is a bit too high I'd say.. especially she got no card & no dust bag..
i'll wait a little more.. *fiddles with hands*

ceci · Jul 2nd, 2009, 02:45 PM

^ F, I bought mine 30% off org. (close to Cdn$1k) from Bloor Chanel last June 08 & it was about Cdn$7xx - came with 2 dust bag & the box, but the card was missing from the boutique already. Anyway, the chain length for the naked flap is pretty short. Can't be worn messenger style unless it'll be in pretty funny position.

devilangel · Jul 2nd, 2009, 06:14 PM

oic thanks CeCi.. I rmbred it wrong.. I thought u got it around $600..
and i didn't know they will misplace the authenticity card!! -0- and hence the discount?

ceci · Jul 4th, 2009, 11:34 PM

^ yeah...with the taxes & shipping $6xx can go to ~$7xx in Canada.

Wait...let me check the bill...It's actually C$768.08

I totally forget the cost already - but no...this is the best bag I've ever got even though it's not leather at all

Expat · Jul 5th, 2009, 12:16 AM

There's one on Portero http://portero.com/brands/chanel/cha...rabat-bag.html $895

I too had a problem with J&J btw. Only last year.

devilangel · Jul 7th, 2009, 03:10 PM

haha ya I think its the bag I have seen u post most pix with, Ceci!

Thanks Expat ! I saw that one too and I asked for a discount like gotbighair suggested.. lol They offered one, but not good enough..

I am gonna buy the one from JJ..

but she is replying verrrry slowly even I am requesting how to pay her!! haha X_X

Expat · Jul 8th, 2009, 06:19 AM

I don't bother even looking at her site now.
She wouldn't take Paypal or anything other than US credit cards. Not hugely helpful (understatement), but it worked out OK for me in the end as I found the same bag, in better condition for a LOT less elsewhere

Good luck!

devilangel · Jul 14th, 2009, 12:31 PM

bumping this thread up...

I got mine from JemzNjewels!!

Thank u so much GOTBIGHAIR!! U rock girl!!! I bargained for the price... took awhile to email w/Rachel back & forth though (but it's ok cuz I wasn't sure if I wanted to spend so much $ recently..) Final negotation price was $660 including shipping to Canada!! Whoohooooooooooooooooooo
I am so happy! Cuz she was so nice to mark it as a gift and of $100 value AND ship it with USPS as I asked, and as a result.. NO CUSTOM DUTY FEES!!!!!
I know a few TPFers has problems with her tardiness with shipping, but she shipped mine in like 2 days of payment (and she let me used paypal ^^) and I just received it today!

Don't know why the dustbag has water/salt stain on it when she said the bag is new.. but oh well didnt' matter too much to me
