APRIL 2023 Chanel Purchases

I have been telling myself I don’t need any more totes (especially as I now work remotely exclusively), but I saw this on a display and had to get it. Color was perfect. I appreciate the internal organization, no need for an insert. Chanel really upped its game on this. The last Chanel tote I bought over a year ago still had the tiny “cell phone” pocket which would’ve fit my phone from 2005, maybe. Last, I love the chain detail on the straps.

i had not seen this bag anywhere before I stumbled upon it, not even sure what collection it is to be honest. Has anyone else seen it online or in stores? The SA said it also comes in black and gray, but only had this color that day. I’d love to see the gray.

When the 22 first came out I hated it, it seemed sloppy and not “me” at all. I tend to always buy small bags but I’ve been on the hunt for a larger more casual bag that I can carry when I’m with my four year old while wearing leggings and sneakers. I was at a kids museum in Manhattan and saw another mom with the large 22 and immediately my feelings about the 22 changed. I went to a few Chanel’s before I found the exact size and color I wanted but finally pulled the trigger and I’m so happy. This is the small size which fits a ton and it’s so lightweight!

Looks amazing on you! I also hated the 22 when it first came out but it also grew on me - I recently bought a small in caramel (I have too much black). I also tend to buy small bags, but this seemed like it would be a great mom bag.

Thank you and congrats on yours, I bet the caramel is beautiful in person. I love that we both had the same initial feeling but came around, I’m sure it’s common with this bag, it’s just so darn practical, easy to fall for especially for us moms. I was a bit concerned about quality issues since there’s been a few complaints, is yours holding up well so far? Quality seems good to me but I’ve only carried mine a few times

Could you please share the code for this tote? Would love to ask my SA to keep a lookout for me! TIA!:biggrin:
 
Here are unboxing pics of my beautiful Beige Clair with gold hardware I finally got my hands on..in Florida! I had posted the photo with it wrapped from the store but here she is. It is even more stunning at home with my white daylights as opposed to yellow light. I am beyond obsessed!!!!!! I was so iffy about the color in store but I am thrilled and happy with it at home!!!
