Hallo Chanel - hope you are doing well. Christmas is cancelled for me this year (unless I win the lottery!!).

**Chanel** · Nov 4th, 2009, 05:13 PM

Hi joviscot **waves**, I'm fine thank you for asking, hope you're doing well too

. I really hope you'll win the lottery one day, I know you have a few gorgeous bags on your wishlist and winning the lottery would be fantastic to make that dream come true wouldn't it? How's the job hunt going btw?

Hiya Chanel

I would be over to Hermes in Paris so fast after winning the lottery, the store probably wont have opened yet!!! ha!!

Still job-hunting. had interviews. Applied for another 3 jobs so wait and see. Thank you for asking - so sweet.

**Chanel** · Nov 5th, 2009, 01:25 PM

^^ Lol, I can totally imagine that! If I would win the lottery I would be over to Hermès too, after that I would finally buy my first Chanel jacket, some nice Chanel bags and some pairs of CL's

.
Sorry to hear that you haven't found a job yet, I think it's very hard to find a good job at the moment isn't? I'm crossing my fingers for you that you'll find a nice and good job soon

.

BTW, speaking about jobs, calling nataliam , any updates about your job offer nat?

Oh I saw my Chanel jacket in one of the stores in Paris so would be off there too!! Nice handbag there too - then off to Hermes ...... went to the CL store in Paris but wasnt at all happy with the SA there. Couldnt care less if I bought anything or not. They both walked through to the back to chat and left us alone so we walked out!!!

Yes, the additude of some SA's... I also must admit that I prefer Dusseldorf over Amsterdam.
Besides that it's closer to the place where I live, the SA's in Dusseldorf are much more friendly.
For example, once I was asking a Chanel SA in Amsterdam for a specific bag. They didn't have it and I asked if she could order it from another store because I really wanted to have it. She looked in the computer and she said it was sold out and impossible to get. A few weeks later I saw at least two reveals here on TPF with that bag. Bought it Europe

.
A couple of weeks later I was visiting Dusseldorf and asked again for that bag. They told me they just sold one not so long ago. But they were much more friendly and offered me to call me when another one came in or if they could find one in another store.
Unfortunately they didn't find one but at least they were much more friendly than in Amsterdam.

Have had bad SAs too - they were at Chanel Harrods (London), one in Chicago and maybe its me but which ever Gucci Store I go into in whichever country, I feel like walking out once they look me up and down ...... no need for it at all.

**Chanel** · Nov 5th, 2009, 05:21 PM

You're absolutely right to walk out. It's not you, it's really the additude of them. Never had problems with Gucci SAs before, except in the Gucci store in Antwerpen, another story.
A few years ago I was dying for a Gucci Indy bag. But I didn't want to pay the full retail price for it and one week before the sale starts I saw a nice one in the Gucci store in Antwerpen. So I asked the SA if there was a possibility that it would go on sale. She told me that Indy bags never goes on sale. So not true.... I bought my Indy in another store because I don't like if someone is lying to me. One week later I was in Antwerpen again and I went to the Gucci store. There were 2 Indy bags left from the sale, yes, both were on sale...

The one Gucci bag I have, I bought at "Cruise" in Aberdeen NOT in a Gucci store. Payback for the snotty attitudes in Munich + Rome!!

Could it be the SA lied cos they wanted more commission??

Actually, I did the same, bought my Gucci bag at SN3 in Antwerpen, one of my favorite stores. Have a lovely SA there.

I don't know if the SA lied because of any commission but I guess she thought that I was stupid or something

. Which reminds me of Legally Blonde 1 or 2. Elle Woods goes shopping and when she find a dress the SA removes the price, and says to Elle that the dress was just arrived and that it is from their newest collection (she also thinks that Elle is a spoiled blonde woman). But then Elle tells her the true, that she saw this dress a while ago and that it's not from their newest collection etc.
The SA don't know how to look anymore

.

I also must say that I've met very very lovely SAs. My SA at Hermès in Dusseldorf is one of them, she's such a doll.

The Januari sales are not far away anymore, maybe you'll find something then

. I hope to score a nice pair of CLs in the sale

.
I have the luck that they opened a Gucci outlet store this year, near the place where I live. But ATM they don't have something very interesting for me, they have a lot of Queen bags but they're not my style.

Nice picture! Is that you with the new Gaucho? Is it finally arrived?

joviscot · Nov 6th, 2009, 11:21 AM

When I first moved up here, I was out and about and tried to get entry into a boutique. It was one of the "ring the bell, they look you up and down then you might get in or not"!! Well the woman wouldnt let me in so I left!!

Fast forward to August this year. I was dressed casually (jeans, tshirt, trainers etc). So tried at their new store ...... but this didnt have a bell you just walked in. Well I opened the door and the SA came up to me and said I couldnt come in ..... no explanation nothing ...... as I turned to go back out the door, she then saw my Chanel GST and my J12 on my wrist and practically begged me to come in!!

I said "too late dear - thats twice you have refused me entry, never again".

I was ranting on my mobile to hubby walking down the road!! Took me ages to calm down!!
