Default Omg!! I Just Wanna Scream!!!

Hello... im new to Chanel but i know this is the one place you will all share in my excitement!!!!

I just bought my FIRST EVER Chanel!! I bought her off eBay from timeless_lv (who i understand is totally reputable) and i just have to share my joy!!!

My husband is going to hit the roof, especially as he wont understand why i paid so much for a vintage (in his eyes it will just be gross and dirty!!) but i LOVE her and im so excited! I know she is quite grubby, so any tips on restoring her to her former glory will be very much appreciated!!

She's not here yet, i just pressed "Buy It Now"!

WOO HOO!!!!!

Congrats, lovely! If you don't mind paying a fee, you can send it to Chanel for 'servicing'...

http://www.luvinmybags.com is another alternative, although an actual Chanel boutique is always preferred.

BTW, congrats on your new bag!
