CHANEL SYNDROME!!

Hey girls, I just saw the Rose Fonce (Dark Pink) Medium Lambskin flap today!! GORGEOUS COLOR!! It's not really a very sharp pink kind of color, it's more of a dark salmon/peach pink or rose pink. The color is quite neutral. It's a very special color and is hard to come by. The color is NOTHING like the dark pink metallic reissue. You should go for it!!

Sorry I don't have the picture because it's not allowed to take pictures inside the CHANEL boutiques in Hong Kong.

I love that color!!

Hi hi!! Yes I've just seen it this afternoon at Hong Kong Lee Gardens Chanel Boutique. It has just arrived when I was there!! That color got my attention immediately!! So, I asked what it was and they said it's the Rose Fonce!!!

OK..if you want to compare it with the SS08 Dusty Pink Glazed Lambskin flap, this rose fonce is not as pink as the SS08 one. It's a bit darker, and has a more peach/rose tone. It's so hard to explain actually!! I wanted to find a picture of similar color but I can't find one!! Sorry about that.

And as for the bordeaux lambskin flap, it hasn't arrived yet in the store. Will be arriving soon. But I saw it in the catalog and it's a stunning color!! Not anything like the lambskin dark red/brick red with brown undertones from pre-fall. But I have yet to see it IRL.

Where are you from? Maybe you can see if your local CHANEL boutique has got these?

Yes this fall is full of nice colors!! That's why I can't make any choices (that explains my wishlist). Hahahhaa!! But it really depends on your wardrobe and also what colors you don't have. I love all the 3 colors you mentioned and gray also!! Hopefully, if I can get all of them, I'll post pictures here so that you can take a look.

I just got a Pink Lambskin Classic in Paris 2 weeks ago (the bag just got in the store that day when I were there). I'm not sure if it is called the Rose Fonce. I were actually deciding between this one and the dark pink reissue. But finally got this one since the sales liked this one more too. I also got the Grey Lambskin Classic with new hardware.

It's silver hardware on the pink (it's probably the flash that make it seems like gold)

Fall Act 1 Grey flap is in shiny silver HW, longer chain, the leather is not so soft, unlike the prefall vintage grey.
