DECEMBER 2022 Chanel Purchases

Just posted this on the 22K thread.

Was searching for my perfect tweed and saw this - it's tweed/wool. I'm so happy it comes with a top handle, so I can carry as a briefcase. Also love that it's structured for a tweed bag (don't like squishy bags) and that the leather corners are in navy, so won't show wear and tear/colour transfer easily. Possibly my last purchase of the year.

And received some lovely flowers (and vase) called Snow White from my lovely SA.

I’ve been coveting this since I saw it on the runway. My SA wasn’t able to get it initially, so when @nat74 posted it, I jumped on it! Then it arrived in my home boutique the next day. I… didn’t realize it was so small; I have an iPhone mini and it doesn’t even fit. Plus it’s canvas, not leather. Is this stupid? I’m having some buyer’s remorse. The style is so cute and quirky, but I’m not a tennis buff. Any sane advice is appreciated.

Some of you may have seen the white camera bag I got last month— I also had buyer’s remorse, and when I saw this round bag, I was like, damn! I’d much rather have that one. Luckily I was able to exchange it. Much happier with this. I was ambivalent about the handle, but everyone here seems to rave about top handles!

This… was an impulse buy. I love green, and my SA was like, I have something you may like.
One of the things that bothered me about the white camera bag that I returned is that the attachment pt for the strap is in the middle on the sides, and the bag tips on an axis. This style solves that problem!! Also, the zipper is in the front, not the middle of the top, which provides easier access to the contents, similar to the round bag.

This jacket was a sleeper. My SA pulled it in my size (I’m a 42/44, so often slim pickings). It was pleasantly flattering, as I am very dumpy. I love the buttons, and also the velvet. I am a child of the 80’s, and it reminds me of the holiday dresses my mom made me wear back then, in a good way. The matching pants, however, are pleated and the leg opening the size of texas.

Who posted these shoes?? I’ve been searching but couldn’t find the post. Anyway, she was right, they are absolutely fabulous. I didn’t think much of them, but when I tried them on in the store, everyone was like, yes!! Even my husband, who has a very strong disdain for my Chanel habit, grudgingly admitted they were a good choice.

Amazing choices! Congratulations! I love your stories about each item! Enjoy them :heart:
 
Got this today but I’m on the fence about it. Love the lambskin, and mini rectangular is my fave just not sure if the color is too yellow for my preference.

That is pretty! I totally understand you. I kept going to the shop 3 times before I finally took my cch home with me. She has been out with me very often :smile:

Bought myself my dream bag today in Florence! I’ve been wanting a small CF for over 3 years now. The price increases are ridiculous but if it’s a new bag with no manufacturing defects to it, why not?!!

Initially she said there were none, but I feel like she was testing me to see if I really knew and liked the brand. She showed me a red medium CF from 22K, a small tweed from 22C, a small seasonal pink trunk, a small white seasonal bag with the words COCO on the strap, and a yellow medium CF before going to her manager and asking if she can show me the black small CF. I also bought a black cashmere sweater from the 20B collection

hi there! 1,5 weeks ago I purchased a medium classic flap caviar ghw and I just cannot decide whether to keep or not because it is matte and the quilts on the flap itself are so flat. Please share your thoughts as this purchase was kind of a bit impulsive but the opportunity was there.
This is my second bag from chanel. I own a lambskin WOC which is sooo soft and I love it. But I don’t want to worry about wear and tear of this medium CF.
