I'm 5'2 and I just got the Maxi...I think you'll be fine

I'm not sure about all their fashion jewelry...but I had a $2000 pearl novelty necklace and the SA said it was not real pearls! And if you search the threads, there have been issues of pearls falling out, etc But the styles are so gorgeous that sometimes its worth it! LOL (I personally have had problems twice, but they fix it for you, so if you love the piece than it shouldn't really be a problem!)

I love their styles, I just can't justify paying so much for something if it is cheaply made.

Hi,

I'm a newbie to Chanel. Does anyone knows what is the current price of the chanel cambon black on black Large?

Thanks!

[robertsn6534]

hi angel77, I don't know the price but a lot of the prices are listed under the Current World Prices thread wheres theres a spreadsheet

does anyone know much about the chanel tweed bags?? Do they come out every so often and if so, when was the last time they came out? I saw one on ebay but not sure if its brand new as I always thought chanel tweeds were all vintage and they didn't make them anymore but I may be wrong...I just haven't seen any for a while tia!

I'm pretty sure they are...you can check the Chanel Reference library - theres a thread in there that has all of the dimensions for the Timeless Classics

Hi,

Not sure where to ask this question. Just want to identify the color of this bag, is it a off white cream(ivory) bag? This is my first time getting something which is not black.

^ In the US, if you purchase a Chanel from a dept store & that dept store is not in the state in which you reside, you don't pay sales tax ---I read that it's cheapest in Hawaii. As for other countries, I guess it would depend on the currency exchange rate ---but I think I read on here that Paris was the best?
