Hi TPFers. I am traveling to Berlin this week. I will be staying near the famous KaDeWe store which has a Chanel boutique in it. I love getting back the tax and not paying duties. It's like you almost HAVE to buy something while you are there. But what should it be? The only Chanel I currently own is a black reissue (bought in Paris) and some new tweed espadrilles. My current wish list includes a Chanel jacket, boy bag, and a WOC. But I'm up for any suggestions, including colors. So let me know what you think.
I’ll be going to Berlin Germany this July and I’m hoping to score a mini, preferably a caviar one. Otherwise I’d like to get a beige or grey Lambskin one or black chevron with GHW.
I know that the next round of minis will most likely be released in July.
Question: How likely or easy/difficult will it be to score a mini in Berlin? Which boutiques has better stock - KaDeWe or the flagship boutique? What’s the likelihood that Chanel will release caviar minis next season?
Do SA’s reserve items there for tourists if I was to contact him/her a couple weeks prior to my visit?
Thanks for your replies.

Thanks for your replies.
Usually, minis do come in March, July, November if I am right, so timing-wise, July is not a bad month to score a mini.
However, the next season's will only have lamb minis, no caviar as they mainly focused on caviar minis the last years. At least this is what I was told by my store manager which was in line with what we saw for the last 2 mini releases (no caviar, lamb only). Hence, don't expect to find any caviar minis in summer but make sure to check out the forum in case there is a change in strategy.
Regarding stock, I would not recommend going to KaDeWe (also their service is lacking...), but shops usually only reserve stock for local regular customers, if at all. Might still be worth a try, but I guess timing is key.
Good luck and enjoy your trip!
I'm planning a trip to central Europe in late November and there's a high chance I'll be in Berlin at some point. I'm thinking getting a black classic flap (I'm flexible about size, hardware and leather). What are my odds of being able to get one in Berlin?
Other potential stops with Chanel boutiques are Vienna and CDG airport, so trying to figure which location has the best potential of getting what I want (and best deal).

Thanks so much for your reply. Will make sure to go to the Ku’damm boutique first and hope that I’ll get lucky there. Would you know if Chanel has camera bags in caviar? If I can’t get a mini, I wouldn’t mind a camera bag.
Sorry, I fear I don't have an answer, at least on predicting what might be available at that time. The boutique is quite large so their stock usually is good, but of course this will differ and Berlin has lots of tourists visiting the stores, especially during summer time. There should be a caviar camera bag, though, not only lamb
