New Threads

I would go for both if i could they are versatile i do change my slgs quite often, but for some reason is really hard to find them in the store.

Hey guys, I just bought a Chanel waist bag. I bought it brand new today at the boutique. Unboxed it and found a pretty deep indentation in the leather from being buckled the whole time. It's very noticable to me. Is this normal in waist bags? I already returned the infinity waist bag due to stitching issues. Bought this one instead and I love it more but that leather indentation keeps bothering me...

Congrats!!! Lovely bag!

Hello everyone,
Some of you may have read my thread “Selling all my Chanel for another Hermès???” where I discussed selling the remainder of my Chanel for a Griolet Kelly cut and I’m pleased to announce I went through with it and now she’s finally here! I wanted to thank you all for your advice and input, I took it all to heart

So without further ado here she is, my Griolet Kelly cut in tadelakt! This bag is from 2008, yet I was somehow able to snag it brand new with protective plastic on the hardware even! Very thankful that I can now cross this HG color off the list. I tried my best to photograph it accurately, it’s definitely one of those colors that likes to shift, sometimes its a warm lavender, sometimes it looks brown, most of the time it’s something in between. I’ll be writing a formal review of this bag for the blog soon, but for now here are some pics from this weekend!

Thank you. Nice to read about this- I have ordered one as Christmas gift for myself (also sea salt ). I am a little unsure now, because some of you have found it to be too small. I am using a regular Chanel card holder at the moment and sometime I just miss a pocket to put cash (even coins) safely away. Rarely, but occasionally I have coins.
I don’t want to use a thicker wallet/ flap cardholder or extra coin purse.
The zippered compartment on the slim cardholder seemed perfect,...so I really hope it will work out for me.

I've been using mine for about 2 months. It stretched a bit for the card compartments, but I still can't fit a card in each slot easily. The zippered compartment is fine to hold some coins. I wouldn't try to overfill it, though. If I put paper bills in it I have to fold them a few times before the zipper can close.

I love the look and conceptual functionality of this card case, but it's not something I'm going to use daily. I prefer my gucci wallet card case wallet.

I have the xxl flap and love it. It’s so much lighter then the classic and fits all my needs and more. This will be the bag I never sell.

Same here... i will never get rid of my xxl. Its big but fun and classy at the same time!

U and I seem to be in the same boat! Except I just bought the ml ghw caviar from the store. First Chanel. Now eyeing a 226/227. How was ur experience? Where did u buy yours and what made u decide on the 226?

Click to expand...

Bought on Poshmark. I wanted a 225 or 226. The 226 came up so I went for that one. I’m so impatient.

I'm 5'0 and the medium looked gigantic and formal on me. The teen size was nice, but the strap even on the shortest setting was too long. It looked weird crossbody and worn on the shoulder with how long it was.. Unfortunate as I think the teen size was perfect otherwise!

Thanks! So eco-drive model means you really have to wear your watch regularly for it to get enough light, I like that
I never really looked at male models because of the size, but I think a not so minimalist male watch could work for me, I only shy away from embellished feminine watches. I want a watch where I can find replacement parts many years after purchasing, so established manufacturers definitely make sense.

You can also leave it near a windowsill every so often!

I vote for the ruby and diamond bracelet. It’s absolutely beautiful.

I’ve seen the online store be out of stock of the Alma BB but when I went to the store last week here in CA, they had the Alma bb in DE, in the monogram, and the monogram empreinte. If I were to choose just from personal experience and for seeing resale prices on like Vestaire Collective I would suggest buying the DE though the market is changing frequently I could be wrong on their resale prices. Also, one thing I would be aware of is buying from resellers, when I bought my Alma BB last week from the store I tried to look at the preloved ones in Fashionphile and The Real Real to see how trustworthy their authentication promises are and I would say it’s 50/50. I did catch one from the site with Alma BB that didn’t quite match the one that I bought from the store so I would suggest you really look into all the nooks and cranny of each bag you see from resellers because you wouldn’t want to put all your hard earned money on a bag that may not be fully authentic.

Congrazzzz~ It' so cute. Red is everything, you know.

Definitely Bolide, or Halzan

Congrats on your bag and your future wedding festivities ! Hope you enjoy your beautiful bag in great health and happiness! Also, I find Chanel tweed and ballet shoes in general pretty durable. just sayin‘ !

The texting thing is always a scam!! You text them and they offer to pay more for shipping and then send you fake (but real looking) PayPal email that says your funds are on hold until you ship the item to trick you into sending the item and then it’s too late unless you can get it intercepted and returned back to you

I never get invited to anything formal hahaha.

Me neither. So for me Evening Bag = Church Bag.

Does anyone have any information on this bag? Is it still available/in production? Does it come in mono? I’m obsessed with the shape - believe it’s called “LV Stories Box”. The new Souple Petite Malle instantly reminded me of this style.

I vaguely remember this model back in 2018 but wasn’t crazy about the stickers. I figured they’d release other versions.. but I can’t find anything?

Any info would be appreciated



Sorry if there’s an existing thread- I had a search but couldn’t find anything

I am very "picky" when buying a handbag. If I find anything I do not like about one I will not buy it, even if it is a minor issue..

4 kids here - i now carry my boy bags on date nights with hubby only LOL

I have the iridescent black from 19S collection and I love it! Haven’t been traveling as much as I’d like but it’s so pretty

Its so pretty

I found this bag on Fashionphile and it says it’s from the 2016 Airlines Collection, but I haven’t been able to find any photos of it. I’m pretty new to Chanel so I was hoping someone on here may know.

I know this is kind of an old thread, but VCA doesn't do Pink MOP unless it's a SO for VVIP or in the watch, right?

Click to expand...

Yes and the SO for pink MOP has a specific quota allocated to the region of your home boutique.

Hi ladies, which one do u think looks nicer? Black bolide or rose azalee Lindy with croc strap? I hope I have made the right decision. My story is I originally bought the black bolide 31 last night but I found it’s too big for me (I’m 5’2) when I tried again at home. I quickly went to the store to return it for a credit note this morning, I found this Lindy touch (I guess it’s rare? But I’m a rookie, so pls tell me if it is). I’m afraid if I didn’t get it, I wouldn’t be able to find another Lindy. Eventually I exchange for this Lindy. It’s very hard to find Lindy or toolbox...

I'll go with the Lindy, but you'll have to go with what your heart truly desires.
