OK! Here is my intelligence from going to Chanel in Chicago today -- they were having their spring/summer preview:
1. FIRST AND FOREMOST, they had (as of 30 minutes ago), a m/l fuchsia in patent -- it looked amazing! It was just sitting out on the shelf, so I'm sure if you want it you can call and pop over!! They ALSO had the fuchsia (medium, I believe) boy bag, also on the shelf;
2. Re: trunk show: they had the turquoise, orange and pink little boxy bags with the CC logo on the front in a contrasting color -- I hope that this makes sense. I am not sure what they are called. The turquoise was a fantastic shade of blue - I would say tended more towards blue than green. Pink and orange were sherbet colors for real;
3. Re: trunk show: they had the royal blue and fuchsia metallic clutches -- the ones that look like travel wallets with the metal handle attachment;
4. They had a bunch of those new cross body cell phone bags (I haven't seen pictures here and think they are fairly new). I'm not a big fan, but as I recall they had them in black, beige and maybe a few more colors.
5. NO GREEN. No green anywhere, in fact! I talked to my SA at length -- she said that green doesn't do well in Chicago?
SO, that's my insight for now. There was less than I would have expected out. We went through the book a little -- no exciting colors popped out at me that our boutique is getting -- some navies, pinks, blacks, beiges, reds
