Oh man such a tough choice as all the above are on my dream wishlist too! However, if you don't have a WOC, in my opinion a WOC is a must have. A pop of color in a WOC would be so fun, but I find black is super versatile! I've never seen the mini in person so I can't say if it's worth the cost. Then my taste is the 19 over a boy.
CHANEL CHIT CHAT Thread!

Hello everyone! Is there a thread where people share which pieces are available at their SA’s store? Im searching for a specific bag thank you
`Did you get the blue?! Also FYI, I learned in the 22B forum that the mini with gold handle may not count towards the 2 classics / year since its considered a "seasonal flap." I bought the grey version of the mini, and my SA said it would count but someone else said their SA said the opposite for this exact bag. So might be room to negotiate with an SA here!
Also live in NorCal - only once and it was in a shopping mall.
I tend to see more Chanel boys, interestingly enough
I am so confused.. why can't i find the thread for boutique inventory?? It disappeared from the sticky threads up top..
Look to your right. It's under subforms. On the Chanel homepage, under Chanel Shopping.
Help!! Am I being too picky? This is my first Chanel purchase and upon further inspection, I noticed some wrinkles in my Chanel mini flap. The bag itself structure-wise is fine. But the quilting is not as “puffy” and not sure if I can handle these wrinkles. I bought this from NM and the SA that helped me said “it’s very normal as it’s leather.” I understand that, but for a brand new purse? Would love your thoughts. Thank you!! 
Lamb is soft, I dont personally see any issues. I LOVE lamb!
All that matters is you, if YOU don't LOVE it, it should go back ASAP.

I edited the post to add a better pic. This is all new to me. Thanks for your feedback!
I just returned a caviar bag last week that also had many obvious wrinkles brand new. From what I noticed, and I'm no expert, they all crease/wrinkle but since there is a variation in leather's stiffness & shine, in some bags the wrinkles look more pronounced. I personally didn't like the look of a brand new bag with such obvious wrinkles so I will be keeping that in mind during my search. I've only ever looked at one lambskin though and I didn't see any noticable wrinkles on it so I don't know if it's common for a brand new lambskin. Also is your turnlock twisted just in the picture it's twisted?.
yeah, I haven't seen any NEW lamb skin with this many wrinkles, so I'm still on the fence about it. I have even compared it to Pre-loved versions and they don't have any wrinkles.
It's SO disheartening. Btw, the turnlock is not twisted. I just didn't turn it all the way. Lol! (Good eye!) thanks for your input!
Hihi! I didn't see a intro thread here so I'm dropping in here to say HI and I've been a collector for a very long time but only recently decided to engage here.
Not on the streets so far but three - four times on someone else when I was browsing in a Chanel boutique. I am in London. Given it’s usability, I actually expect to seeC19s more often. Why do you ask dear?
Just wondering about it’s popularity IRL outside of TPF. I thought the same as you. I expected it to be more popular.
