I am more concerned about that black tissue paper on your pink bag. It should be white tissue paper to avoid color transfer.
I was just told by a SA at Chanel Saks in Michigan that they are no longer giving boxes with any handbags starting Jan 2022. She was told for "environmental reasons". She said it'll come with dustbag and everything else but no box. She said they are telling their clients now to lessen the shock when it does happen. She told me in person while I was in the store. I asked another SA in Chanel Nordstrom and she didn't hear anything yet.
Moderators (@Swanky ) not sure if this fits in this thread or if it warrants a new thread.

Wow. If this turns out to be new Chanel policy. Talk about a non luxury experience. Isn't that part of the fun.....the unboxing
Yea that's what I was thinking too. It's also very pretty on my shelf lol I'm sure it's going to shock alot of people
Glad I kept all my boxes - they may inadvertently become collectors' items...
Resellers are probably going to sell items with the full set much much more. I know they already do this but it'll be more
Did you guys get your boxes? According to my SA at Saks chanel, as of January 2022, she was told they are no longer giving out boxes with their handbags. She said she was told by corporate that it was for "environmental reasons" . They are letting all their clients know now to minimize the shock later.
Not sure if this is all of chanel or just saks. It sounded like it was all of chanel.

Bought a bag in March, was told I would get a box as soon as one came in. Never heard from my SA about it again. I even followed up and she said sorry there is a shortage but she'd try to get me one. Nothing. I don't care for the box personally, but this is poor customer service and I agree the box is part of the luxury experience. I wonder if they will still have boxes in Paris boutiques, especially Rue Cannon.
Do they think the boxes are thrown out and end up in landfills? They already changed the flowers to paper for "environmental reasons“. I repurposed mine so this is disappointing. They should still make boxes and it should be provided when a customers to ask for one, they do for plastic straws here in California. If I’m paying 10k for a bag it should come nicely wrapped in a box. So what about Xmas time no special wrapping? I’m sorry I’m not on board for this 
The SA said starting Jan. So I think Christmas will be ok. I get it though, the box is part of the luxury experience. Who knows if it's chanel wide or just saks. It sounded like chanel but my SA at nordstrom chanel was unaware.Do they think the boxes are thrown out and end up in landfills? They already changed the flowers to paper for "environmental reasons“.

Yes I did read this would start in January 2022 after this Christmas season. I was thinking of Christmas after this goes into effect as they always have holiday ribbon and Camillas they wrapped the boxes in.
Hmm..If they are so concerned about the environment why have they sent me a tiny bag in a jumbo box more than once in the past? 
Moreover…When you’re often charging $8,9K+ surely you can hire some bright minds to create beautiful “sustainable“ packinging…

Yes, this! Other companies have lessened their environmental impact by using more eco-friendly or sustainable packaging. Not sure why they couldn't figure something else out to make the experience feel more "luxurious" vs. just a bag in a dustbag.
If corporate is concerned about the environment, they wouldn't be destroying their unsold/unsaleable goods.
