As some of you may have noticed from a few of my posts, the only Chanel I have truly coveted is the Reissue, but I was a latecomer to the whole 'phenom' and by the time I got my ass moving only the cruise ones were available which were lovely and oh so tempting, but after much thought and advice from right here I passed. Anyway seeing from posts here that some from early 2006 were still available albeit difficult to find I thought I'd try my luck and call around especially since it was the SAKS GC event today.
I got up bright and early (I am in the West Coast) and first tried the main store in NYC who were, to put in bluntly, rude and dismissive with a resounding incredulous "NO!" and refused to even bother looking to see if there were any in the Saks system, Well they pissed me off, however I was like a bloodhound, I wasn't giving up that easily. I next called the store in Troy, Michigan, because one TPF member mentioned seeing one there to another TPF member, who subsequently bought it. She, at first, had no idea what I was talking about, I, however, persevered and after consulting someone else told me they had a grey one for $1795, all the details seemed to match, however from the price and her description I gathered it was quite small and so passed. She said however she'd check around and to call her back - I have to tell you she was a little hard to deal with at first because she seemed sooo distracted and kept mentionning pearls (?), but I agreed, I had to call several times because another SA kept saying she was not available- kept having to leaving messages with the other SA. Well I finally get her on the horn and she tell she has found one for $2090 (black with silver hardware) in another store (and that her co-worker never gave her my messages BTW) and describes it in detail, to cut a long story short (which I know is a bit late since I've already gone on and on
) I am having it overnighted (I hope, I kept saying overnight, she kept saying 2-day) - well, we'll see. I have to check it out, if it isn't what I expect or is the wrong bag I can always return it, right?
She also said they will send out the GC cards separately, is that normal? I have never done this before so any feedback would be appreciated.
Anyway there is one grey reissue according to her available for $1795 (she said it was around 6/7 inches across?), if anyone wants the SA's name, pm me please.
Thanks for letting me 'talk', can't wait to have her in my hands!
