So I've been calling around London to see when and which styles they were getting and kept being told they were getting only 1 style! :sweatdrop: I really hope not since I want the satchel! (I've only managed to talk to Selfridges and Harrods though since the main Chanel Boutique wouldn't answer the phone). They also said they did have a waiting list but didn't have an exact date when they would be available.

Selfridges will only be getting 2 navy coloured lady braid flaps apparantly. (didn't know they had lady braid flaps) The SA said it's a 'flap' but she seemed to have difficulty describing the bag and kept telling me "it's like in the picture" which was funny since I couldn't see "the picture", so I don't know if that's the correct name but she was very nice though.

Oh how I wish I lived in the US lol. Seems like they have more stock!:girlsigh:

Anyone else in the UK looking for the lady braid who had more luck than me finding out details?

Here are pics of the lady braid styles I took from various threads in this forum. So is there 1 missing? The "flap"? Anyone have a picture?

Yes, there is a lady braid flap. It's small. There might be a picture in the reference section.

My sales associate in NY called me yesterday to let me know the dark grey satchel had finally arrived in stores.

Percephonie, which botique did you call? Whenever I try Chanel on Sloane Street I always get through. There are 3 Chanel botiques in London so I would try them all, if you have not done so,

I just called the Brompton Road Boutique and was told they're only getting one style as well. i think they said the tote as they described it as square shaped. They also mentioned they are 5 lady braid styles. That means the bowler, satchel, tote, flap and....? So which one is the 5th one?

My advice would be to call Brompton Road and fax them a pic of the bag you want. They will then locate it for you from europe if it is not in the UK. I have done this in the past and it worked for me. Lucy at Brompton Road is great and Theresa at Bond Street.
