Chanel store is such a test

GTOFan · Sep 17th, 2009, 06:58 PM

Hi, just wondered who all took/is taking advantage of the NM promo that gets you gift card for tiered purchases.

My SA said the GC should come in about 6 weeks, anyone told that?

TIA!

Gah! Don't you just hate the waiting? My bag will be shipped from the US today, and I don't even want to think about when it will arrive to Sweden... The bay seller is going to email me the tracking number soon, guess who's gonna hang out on the USPS website next week?

I've been searching the forums for a while and found more than one answer, so does the combination classic flap caviar + red interior exist?

I have been offered a vintage Chanel XL Jumbo ( from the 90's, not sure which year) that is in excellent condition....I have been trying to learn as much as I can about this bag in a short time.....I am a Balenciaga gal, venturing into Chanel territory for the first time!
Is there a difference between the Jumbo Flap, and the XL Jumbo?
Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this, pls redirect me to the right thread!
Any info would be appreciated....

Help

I recently purchased a satin coco cabas from portero.com for $598! However, when it arrived, it was a bit wrinkly, the authenticity card was missing, as was the attached pouch. I know this is almost a third of what the bag should have costs, but i now i am not so sure. Also, i am no so soure as to what i can wear it with (besides the fur jacket and jeans that i had in mind in the first place......)

SHould i send it back or hold out for another good deal?

^ Yes. My 09C red caviar flap has the red interior.

^ The jumbo flap is 12" while the XL jumbo is 13.5". The current season flaps have smaller CCs & lighter gold hardware. The vintage flaps have larger CCs & brighter gold hardware --this is no longer sold in stores. Chanel has reproduced the XL version in the form of the "maxi" which is 13". Check out the reference library for pics. Be sure to get the bag authenticated on here before you buy. HTH

^ Hope you had the bag authenticated on here. I would return it if you're not 100% happy with the bag. It's just me---I'm not a fan of satin...too much high maintenance. But I think you got a great deal on the bag. I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to rock this bag with jeans, skirts, dresses...Don't forget to post pics.

Thanks so much, appreciate the info!
I did get it authenticated, all the pics checked out!

*So.Cal*girl · Sep 22nd, 2009, 09:11 PM

^ BTW, the chains on the vintage XL jumbo is much heavier. The straps can dig into your shoulders if you carry too much.

I have both & actually prefer the vintage XL jumbo because I think it was made better & is more structured. Don't forget to post pics if you get the bag.
