I’m looking to add a Chanel mini in caviar. My understanding is that they don’t currently make caviar for black mini. I’m wonder where I can reference the current seasonal color for flap bags. Thanks!
 
I have been stalking a Chanel on yoogies closet. I sent them a question and with their reply they sent me a 'discount code' for the purchase. I went in the next day to pull the trigger and it was sold. Im gutted, ( heartbroken)
Upside (is there and upside?) i have time to save more money to buy a better one? maybe. Still gutted.
 
Good evening all hope your are having a lovely day.
I came across a Chanel mini square in fashionphile ! All my previous purchases from the boutique nothing online and am so hesitate shall I trust fashionphile that it would be authentic ? It’s new never worn

sorry for troubling
Thank you
I have had multiple experiences with FP, all positive. I would not be concerned about authenticity with them. You can always get an independent authenticator if concerned. FP has a generous return policy as well. I wouldn't be concerned. :)
 
Hi lovelies. I purchased a lambskin mini with what looks to be shiny ruthenium hardware from the eBay seller Brandoff (I think they have stores across Asia). Based on the serial number, it was a 2016 bag.


The lambskin is not as soft as my other bags. I read somewhere that the lambskin from the 2016/2017 Pre-Fall collection is a little more durable than other collections. Is anyone familiar with the lambskin on these bags? I'm a little concerned because the leather is not as delicate as my other lambskin Chanels.

Thank you :heart:
 
Anyone knows a SA from Chanel located inside Neiman Marcus in Short hills mall in NJ. I want to buy a red grained calf skin card case which has camellia flower motif. I have gift card in NM so want to buy from there. If anyone who can share their contact info of SA from short hills NJ mall, I really appreciate it. Thanks so much!
 
Hi All,
I just bought a classic medium flap (caviar, ghw). I have a similar WOC which I love and use all the time but I’m having doubts how much use I’d get out of the classic. I’m within my return period. I always wanted one but now think perhaps I should rethink and get a different bag. Money is tight for me- this was a 40th self gift and also in memory of my mum and aunt. I don’t know if a nice watch may be better??? How much wear do you get out of your flap bags and how often/ wear do you wear them please? Thank you for any advice!

Plus the prices are going up and it’s an investment whereas a watch or similar will decline in value?

So sorry to hear! Yes, save and keep looking. You’ll find what you want :)
 
Hiya :wave:

Not sure if this is the right place to post this but I'm not sure if it's worth it's own thread. I came across this bag online from a reputable consignment store and was wondering how much you'd pay for it? It's supposedly from around 1994 according to the serial code inside the bag but doesn't come with an authenticity card or a dustbag and the corners are slightly worn but other than that, it's in excellent condition.


Thanks in advance!

I wouldn’t worry about the dust bag or serial card, more about whether the style and size really speaks to you and works for your needs! Would you really even want a dustbag that is 26 years old? :)
Regarding price, there is a huge range. If it is under $600-700 absolutely, that’s less than a wallet and it’s funky and cute. If it’s over $1400-1500, then no for me, because I would rather put that towards a new bag. Somewhere in between and it would just depend on my mood at the time. If it’s in that range (which I would guess it is) and you love it, then sure, go ahead and get it.

Thanks for this! Maybe it's the consignment store markup but it's actually £2199 which is around $2700 :oh:. It's my first time buying preloved Chanel so I'm trying to figure out whats worth it and what isn't. Originally I was looking for a vintage small classic flap but came across this and thought it would be a good casual, everyday bag but your estimate has definitely made me rethink it!
