I know it will pass and I will probably be in love w/it again tomorrow!

^ I have the black caviar jumbo with silver bijoux chain. It's one of my favorites and I'll probably never give it up, but once in a while I get bored of it too. So I tuck it away in its box and wear my other bags. It's not a very exciting bag because it is black and the leather is not lush or soft. But it is such a versatile and classic bag to have. I think your feelings about it are temporary, but they are definitely normal.

oh yay! my profile picture showed up. i couldnt upload a main picture i think because it was too big but it works now yay!

DOES ANYONE KNOW IF ANY CHANEL STORES STILL HAVE THE RED CHANEL JUMBO IN CAVIAR? I'M IN LOVE WITH THAT BAG BUT IT'S SO HARD TO FIND...

Yeah... I have the same feeling with my Caviar jumbo flap in SH, but I know I will never let it go :)

Hi just check with your consignment store, some of them do provide both dust bag and box, I believe they would at least provide the original dust bag, just request for them.
Tell them the bags are presents, the store might be able to do more to help

So glad to not be alone-I was thinking"What is wrong with me" to even be thinking like that! It is so easy to use and I do love how durable it is but was just thinking that my Matte Reissue had more umph and I love my Lambskin Jumbo but with all of the rain have yet to be able to use it-LOL I did switch this week to a crazy LV Roses Speedy and whie it makes me happy to look at am definitely having to tone down my clothes to wear it-LOL

I have been thinking for a while..and couldn't really find the answer..hope someone could enlighten me on this..

I understand there is metallic and distressed calfskin for REISSUE.
Ok, does the CC interlock EVER has metallic version (besides lambskin and caviar)?

Thank you for the clarification

[bleedinglvoe]

ladies, help me make decision

i really want a PTT in caviar and pink color, but sadly they dont have it for this season. I went to SCP yesterday and only black in stock...

Do you think I should pay around 1450 for a 6yrs old bag or wait maybe Uncle Karl will make it next season and pay 2125 for a brand new one?

please

Hi Tartine and bleedinglvoe, I am afraid I don't have a good answer to your questions, perhaps you should post your questions at the Chanel Main Forum as a new thread, more people will see it.

This chanel chit chat thread is actually just for chitchatting for off topics, non chanel topics.
HTH.

[Tartine]

Thanks IceEarl.
Will do so

Hi ladies, the forum is kind of quiet these days.... or is it just me feeling this way ?

Anyways, I will be visiting LA in end May/early June, I am wondering if dear pfers at the LA area could give me some ideas on the places I can go shopping, my main purpose is to visit a gfriend living at Tustin (have no idea where), I should be staying with her for about a week as it's been many years since I last saw her, alot of catching up to do :)
But before that I want to stay in the LA city for 2 days, thought I can do some shopping there first as I am going to bunk in with another gfriend (she'll be on business there) at her hotel room, The Georgian Hotel (any good?).... dear pfers, any suggestions on where I should go? and is Rodeo Drive far from the Hotel?

Ths last time I visited LA was more than 10 years ago :) looking forward to it...

Thanks so much in advance... I thought I can just post thist here instead of the general shopping forum since we have our own chit chit thread now :-P

Hi IceEarl, i actually felt the same way and with all the bad financial news worldwide, i think people are just not buying as much and trying to stay away from luxury spending? and hence the tPF?? idk

anyways, i'm so excited just to hear that you are visiting LA. last time i was there is Christmas last year, i would say def go to Rodeo Drive to shop, they got all the boutiques you could ever desire, Chanel there is huge (but compared to HK, maybe not as much haha, i love all the boutiques in HK esp the one in Central..) and hollywood, Kodak theatrea is a must, i took so many pictures there with all the mascots, the guy dressed in King Kong costume freaked me out from behind but not as much as seeing Spider Man taking his mask off and having a coffee break...too funny

I felt a bit low these days (hope this chit chat thread is the right place to "rant"). i used to collect louis vuitton from bags to shoes to small leather goods and to their fancy jewleries, now they are just sitting in my closet quietly..i dont even know when will be the next time i would even use them (only items that got some use of are the scarves, like the monogram and leopard shawls...) anyways, so the other night, i took some of them out and thought about selling them, they are all in excellent conditions (not to brag myself but i baby my bags to a fairly extreme extent haha) i put some online already but i dont know if this would be the right thing to do, i have never sold any of my stuff before, i always thought that even if i dont love them anymore, i could just leave them in the closet and pass them to my daughter but on the other hand, i'm trying to convince myself that my babies would probably be appreciated more if someone could adopt them and carry them everyday...ohhhh what to do ladies???
