I was like "yes on 57th and Madison" she was like "did you get it for a good price?" I was like "It was $2650+tax" she was like "ohh ok" Was homegirl trying to imply that I couldn't afford a real one?

Not sure what she was trying to imply, but don't let it bother you. Just enjoy your new Jumbo

But what do you mean by "came in to ship a Chanel bag"? Came in where?

^ Nat, I think she means she works in a courrier service company such as Fed Ex?

Anyhoo... I too wouldn't think much about it. I actually think that girl is odd for asking if you got your jumbo for good price. What good price? It's supposed to be the same in all US shops. And why is it strange to buy it from "around here?" NYC has 3 boutiques, 2 department stores and 1 authorized shop selling Chanel bags.

Yeah, NYC can be pretty cold in the winter. And the funny thing is, some people think this is the shopping capital of the world, but I do most of my shopping in Europe. Clothes in the U.K. (I love Marks and Spencer), accessories at the Italian outlets or Chanel anywhere (cheaper in Europe than buying in the U.S., even better now that the exchange rate improved). And of course we get a VAT refund, too. I hardly ever make major purchases here, unless it's a bag that is so hot, I'm afraid I won't find it when I get back to Europe.

Anyway, I'm a Europhile. I've lived in NYC my whole life and could never give it up entirely but sometimes I think everything is better on your side of the pond.

Hello! I managed to get hold of a laptop and now I'm typing away......

It's not too bad here in Seattle......specifically Redmond. 37 F, mostly cloudly, which is usual. Tomorrow it's going to rain yet again and weather is forecast at 29 F.....so it's not that cold. I have to do laundry daily since I only packed enough for 2 days. DH blew up when he found out.......boy, what a temper! Well, I haven't done any shopping yet......just eating, drinking and more eating. I managed to convinced (actually forced since he hates shopping) my cousin to drive me to Nordie in Seattle to check out the Chanel sale and inquire about the whereabout of my red medium caviar flap. No one seems to know anything about medium size. I bet it's going to be extremely limited.

I'm spending the holidays here with the rest of my family. It's been so looong since all my siblings and I have been together for Christmas, and this year should be so much fun!

Welcome to L.A.!!, hope you'll enjoy visiting, have fun

Sophie-G/L with all the rain, I was there in March for a week and it rain everyday, but at least you'll have a beautiful white Christmas as for me ...I will be here until after Christmas (no white xmas) and then go Texas to take my daughter back to college

Exactly! And, we were minutes away from all the fifth avenue shops so when she asked if I got it from around here, I was just thinking ok, where else? Canal Street? And yes I work for FedEx ! Nonetheless I am enjoying my bag and I'm already planning for my 2nd

This forum is so informative. I love it.

That's what I'm afraid of, the rain for my entire stay. The white Christmas would be fascinating in Canada. WOW you have a college age daughter? That's fantastic! I can't wait for my kids to go off to college so DH and I can be home alone at last.

^wow 4! I can barely handle 2, ages 11 and 9. I have a long way to go.


Ok, I'm outta here now. DH keeps reminding me to think vacation and not Chanel red, lol.

^^LOL at Sophie and her medium Red hunt. Don't give up Sophie, they may be hard to find but I'm sure they're out there. They introduced very few mediums in red in 2007, and then they were only in lambskin. Keep us posted.

It's supposed to rain here in So. Cal. this weekend, and I'm tired of waiting. I can see the rain clouds but I want to see the rain already, then I won't feel so guilty for sitting around here and not doing much.
