Shiny - what abt the classic flaps coming in S/S08? Spore will be getting some, right? Heard they come in more colours than black, beige and white.
Classic white jumbo or, like you said, just wait to see the new metallic reissues IRL for spring. I am in love with the metallic purple and navy!
How abt dark white or beige caviar jumbo?
I'm not keen with the new 08 reissue collections. Since u have a reissue flap, there is no point having a similar style but in different color. Go for a classic flap then.
how about the new navy classic flap in lambskin? i've not seen the colour, but i should think the navy would be a nice change from black and since you already have the black reissue, it would be nice to have a classic flap. based on the BG pictures, it seems like there will be navy, yellow, pink, white for the classic flaps in spring.
that said, i know what you mean about different colours but the same bag (re: reissue dilemma), imo, i just see the different colours as reason enough to get them since essentially it's the same thing with the classic flaps and plus i do think the reissues and classic flaps have a much longer staying power than the seasonal bags of varying designs. lastly, maybe you can think of having the reissues in different colours as having a different bag for different occassions - i could see a dark silver/pewter reissue fitting in nicely with the black reissue (sort of day/night thing).
Hello! Sigh, I don't do white very well, although I think the classic white flap is gorgeous... But I think I will wait for all the bags for S/S08 to be out before I do decide
Yes I bought my first Chanel (black reissue) here, no choice cos I fell in love immediately when I laid eyes on her. Plus (if the SA was to be believed) only 2 pcs came in and she remembered (from MONTHS ago) that I'd called to ask about a matte reissue, heh. It IS def expensive over here. There was already a price hike anyways, so I would say if you reaaaally want to get one just get one, don't wait. The prices will always be going up.
Having said that, if you get the chance to travel around (or get in touch w some of the SAs in the US), look or ask around because I think the range here is v limited as well. Which classic do you want to get?
Anyway, most of their stuff are reserved for their VVIPs. You hardly get to see many nice stuff when you walk into the store. I go in so often and most of the time end up walking out empty handed. Else it will be shoes that I get or accessories. So far, it has been much easier to get the stuff I want from the states then in Singapore. What an irony. Should I say, I am on the wait list in Singapore and I order the stuff from the states, after all the overseas shipping, I still get the items faster from the states.
Well, I was looking at some magazine the other day and they featured the metallic black, it was like SGD$5,900, close to $6k. The price is astonishing, though I figured it must be for the jumbo sizes?

But I really like the new metallic black, was thinking of getting one, but like ladydeluxe was saying, I am concern about the long term wear and tear on the bag itself. Thus, I am going to continue with my hunt on the baby cabas, though I know its totally impossible. Maybe on impulse get the timeless clutch. Looking forward to the new spring summer colors for their ballet flats though. I am totally in love with their flats.
Ooh thank you! Yes a white flap was def one of my top choices, but I was worried about maintaining the colour. I usually don't carry light coloured bags, but most of the girls who have one seem to have no problem!
