Beth, Thanks for posting the pics. The coral is charming! I confirmed for the navy already. But, I'm still in the lottery for the coral since the list is "over-waitlisted". I think the price is reasonable compared to the regular patents. It's the same price for the medium patent flaps. I think Chanel is generous enough not to take advantage of this event and jack up the price of the LE bags.

Congratulations on such special bags! They are gorgeous!

Back in September it was first posted here by another TPFer. At that point, I believe anyone could call the NYC boutiques to get on a list.

If you want to see all of the information, here is the original thread.

Good and bad news from Chanel NYC

Hi Bethc!!! Congrats on your new loot!! Both bags are GORGEOUS!! I am receiving mine end of next week!!! So excited!! Wear them in good health!

BTW, may I ask if the hardware on the coral patent flap is matte or shiny gold hardware? My SA told me it's matte light gold. Just want to make sure. Also, is the patent leather crackled or smooth?

How about the Navy?
- Is it shiny silver or matte silver hardware? The fact is, I love matte hardware..... Did you see the gold hardware version for the navy? Do you know if the HW is matte or shiny?
- Is the patent leather crackled or smooth? I remember that the 07 Navy patent was made with crackled leather, right?

Sorry for so many questions as I'm buying the bag sight unseen.

Anyway, enjoy your new bags!!
