Hi all,
After weeks of looking through consignment ads and online sellers, I got a text from a SA saying that a black caviar M classic flap was in stock and I was next on the wait list. I had been really searching for a boy and here in Calgary there is a wait list for both classic and boy bags. I went in that day to see it and decided to take the plunge.! My SA was wonderful and patient with me. I was a little disappointed after reading so many posts that people get to choose from multiple bags and choosing the one they like, especially because I’m a perfectionist in this regard. But happy none the less that it was available before a potential price increase (in July)?. I was a little worried when she said someone before me on the waitlist must not have wanted it (Mother’s Day gift perhaps).
So my questions are after reading so much on TPF and being concerned about the quality of the recent caviar...how does mine look!? It is a 26 series so how do I know when it was made? My bag came fresh out of the box but I didn’t see the actual tag that came with the bag, to see all the codes, perhaps I’ll check and see if it is in the box somewhere..?
I was also a little concerned about the stitching along the bottom edge, has anyone had issues with this before ?
Lastly HOW did you get over the fear of carrying a $$$$$$ Chanel bag? I’m so scared of damaging it even with the hearty caviar, so I just take her out of the box and visit her for now [emoji23].
Sorry for all the newbie questions !! TIA!!
