I just bought my first Chanel bag yesterday at the store on Spring Street in NYC. I bought the classic flap bag in black. I think you have to first get a black one and then go on from there. My husband also bought me a bag from there that I never saw before. It is called "small tote bag" in gold. What a beautie! I wish I knew how to post pics so you guys could check it out. It really is a winner!
