Over on the shopping board of Chanel, you will find a ton of info about buying in Paris and also about shopping in T3 when returning through London. Most say don't count on finding a specific bag, but the prices are much better, especially at T3 where you don't have to wait for your rebate of VAT. The threads also talk about the VAT process of having the store fill out some paperwork, then you do more at the airport and choose either cash or refund to a CC. Have a fabulous trip! :smile:

Definitely check out the original Chanel boutique at 31 Rue Cambon. Get there early in the day to avoiding waiting forever for a SA. Vat is 11% return on cash or 13% back on credit cards. The SA at boutique fills out vat form for you so bring your passport to boutique while you shop. 1 passport gets you vat one one handbag and 5 wallets or slg. Never hurts to ask for what you are looking for specifically but keep an open mind and enjoy your experience at the original Paris boutique!!

Hi tutu shopper! I searched and some of the threads are pretty old. I'll keep seaching though :smile: I saw that you said you would pick lambskin over caviar anyday. I was thinking about buying a red jumbo lamb skin when I am in Paris . I live love lambskin but kind of afraid if it. Lol what are your thoughts ?? Here's what I have in my collection
--Black 2.55 reissue 226 reissue in calfskin with ghw
---black bindi tote with stingray
---beige Clair jumbo with ghw
----rose Claire python with shw
