wanxia, there's going to be an increase as there always is over time...but no one is quite sure when, hehe. I guess the cheapest time to buy would always be the present...unless there's some sort of sale..

^^^^ITA !
Yes Toomz, the 226 is smaller than the 227 ( heehee....we Balenciaga girls are both obviously learning about Chanel! )
I am tending towords Black/Gunmetal.....I am not sure of pros/cons, but for me I think a slightly larger bag makes more sense....

PANda_USC · Oct 27th, 2009, 04:26 PM

pilatesworks, get the 227!! It's not too big but big enough..pretty spacious and since you're a B-girl, I'm assuming you'd still want that amount of space in bag, yes? ^_^..hehe..and welcome to the Chanel addiction!

petitechouchou · Oct 27th, 2009, 06:58 PM

Panda, you're such an enabler!!! I love it!

PANda_USC · Oct 27th, 2009, 07:30 PM

petitechouchou aka T, I am not! I just coax dreams and wishes into becoming reality. : P!

pilatesworks · Oct 27th, 2009, 08:00 PM

^^^^^you have a wonderful way with words, Panda!

Yes, I am tending to agree, I do love some space in my bag.
I just this minute won my 2nd Chanel, an 07 Black Caviar Silver HW GST.....to join my vintage Jumbo XL with Gold HW!

PANda_USC · Oct 27th, 2009, 08:10 PM

pilatesworks aka L, ahhh, congrats on your second Chanel! There's no stopping you now, hehe. Do post modeling pics for us to fawn over, ^_^

Haha! I know! There are so many more styles in Chanel I find myself quite overwhelmed! I love the black/gunmetal combo. I find the chain for the reissues really pretty but I'm drawn more towards the classic flaps with the CCs. I lean toward big bags as well.

Congratulations! Let us know how you like the GST style when you get it.

Tooomz · Oct 28th, 2009, 12:50 AM

PANda_USC, how are you doing today? I have decided that I will keep my white & black Chanel longings on the back burner for now and focus on whether I want patent red or not.

PANda_USC · Oct 28th, 2009, 12:58 AM

tooomz, glad to see you back here, ^_^. :: greets you with big hug and a cup of milk tea and a dish of cookies::

Ahh yes..I think the best thing to do is to chase the ones that are rarer/limited edition first..you can always come back and find the black or white or beige etc etc..

I am doing much better! I just found out the my Neiman Marcus will be carrying one of my Holy Grail shoes!! Loubies: Lady Claude in Fire Opal Strass..Just hope my SA can hold onto them for me until after the holidays..gotta buy x-mas gifts first!

Also, my BMW is fixed and I have to go pick up my older bro and sister in law from the airport in an hour or so..how was your day?

wanxia · Oct 28th, 2009, 05:04 AM

panda_usc : so u think i should buy now? but.. even if price increase.. would also be jus a few percent?

PANda_USC · Oct 28th, 2009, 05:13 AM

wanxia, absolutely. It's not like Chanel is going to get any cheaper...quite the opposite. What were you considering buying? If it's the GST in black caviar with silver hardware, they have quite a few of those on eBay and you can save a good chunk of money by buying pre-loved(pre-loved but mint).

Tooomz · Oct 28th, 2009, 07:23 AM

PANda_USC, sorry for the lag! I check tPF at work and it's been a busy day so far! Big hug back! Thanks for the goodies! I'm ready to chat!

Congrats on finding your holy grail shoes & fixing your BMW! Now I'm curious to see what they look like. Hope your bro & SIL got in safely.

My SA told me she was sending photos of Chanel goodies yesterday and she never did :( I want to know what she will be getting so I can finally make up my mind!

FancyDancy · Oct 28th, 2009, 03:43 PM

A Chanel noob has spawn! and it is me :)

& i need some insights before swiping the card.
