great deals, i have yet to find chanel on sale!
I believe that if there is a free standing Chanel boutique in Saks and Neiman, then the sale bags are actually in the boutique and not out on the floor with the other designer bags. Sometimes there aren't even any sale signs and they just lay it out on top of the counter and the SA will "happen" to tell you about the sale. At least this is the case where I live!
I was at my Saks yesterday and saw the red mademoiselle clutch too. They also had the same clutch in 2 different version. A smaller one with the chain handle and a huge shoulder bag. It comes in red or black. Saks Chanel starts on Dec. 3rd for me, not sure when it would start for everyone else.
