I saw this in Chanel Boutique Store Stock thread (https://forum.purseblog.com/threads...where-no-chatting-please.937411/post-34304268) and although I think it's cute, it reminds me of the cookie monster

Hi, I need someone’s expertise. I purchase a classic medium flap in sky blue / light blue last week and I think it is part of the 21’ spring summer collection. When I got home, I realised my SA gave me a black dust bag. I contacted her and ask isn’t the classic supposed to come in a white dust bag and she said it was a seasonal colour hence the black dust bag. Does anyone know if this is true? It was my first time purchasing from the Melbourne City store in Australia and the bag didn’t even come with the protective felt or whatever I have seen online. 
My SA wasn’t the nicest and she left me alone for a good 15 minutes as she went to get me some sparkling water. I went in knowing I wanted to get the bag so I didn’t even ask to see anything else. Purchased this for my bday and I don’t think I will return to a Chanel store anymore because I even saw 2 SAs mocking/talking smack about a customer who just left the store after browsing.The service levels here are questionable even with Australia being one of the most expensive places to purchase Chanel.

I can notice this. Also there is a line in the caviar at the bottom. I would return it and wait for another one.

I'm so sorry to hear about your experience. Seems like the SAs in that store need an attitude check.
I have seasonal flaps and received white dust bags. Although I'm in the US, so not sure if it's different in Australia? Felts are hit or miss, some bags come with it, some do not. Could you try speaking to a store manager? I wonder if the store was out of white dust bags and that was the SA's excuse.
Thank you for your reply!! I ended up exchanging it. Here they don’t allow refunds just store credit or exchange.

I’m so sorry you had such a horrible experience. I see you already exchanged the bag. I hope you’re happy with it. On a side note, you should’ve gotten the white dust bag. It comes with all classic flaps regardless of color. Sometimes the boutique runs out but they should send one when they come back in stock.
Hello friends,
I was curious if samples are always in your online Chanel beauty order? I usually buy Chanel beauty from Nordies but I bought some from Chanel because they were sold out. Lovely packaging and got my order in record time, but no samples. I was hoping to get a smell of some colognes to buy one for my husband, but no luck. Did I just get an anomaly or do they not send samples to customers without an online purchase history? I have bought Les Exclusifs perfume in shop though, which isn’t cheap
Anyways sorry if I should put this in the beauty forum but thought I’d ask you experienced Chanel buyers first. Thanks!

Hello I would need your honest opinion, I just got a phone call from my SA and she said the mini coco handle in black is in stock! I have about a day to decide if I want to purchase it or not. I’m not sure if I really want it because it’s a hard to get item or I really like the bag. I have been thinking about this bag for a year now and I keep stalking this bag everyday. By the way this is my first time purchasing from the boutique.... I think it is a bit pricey $4000 before tax but I think it’s well worth it. I normally purchase my Chanel from second handed and the most expensive bag I spent was about $3800 for my classic medium caviar flap from 24 series which is an excellent price point. I just recently purchased the small affinity and also beige Gabrielle just a week ago and both bags cost me $4800ish! Maybe I’m just feel overwhelmed spending over 10k in a span of a week frame.

Hey everyone - just purchased my first ever Chanel handbag after years of buying YSL/LV/Celine and I'm so excited!!! They had my dream bag in stock - medium black classic in chevron quilting with champagne hardware 
Purchased via mail order from Harrods as we're still under lockdown here in the UK and can't visit stores. The agonising wait commences..

How often do you see yourself wearing the mini coco handle? It seems much of your collection is small sized bags. Will the mini be a special occasion bag? Or do you foresee yourself using it more, even though it's much smaller than most of your bags?
Since the epidemic, I reached for my mini flaps and beauty lock flap more frequently because they are more carefree. I haven’t reached for my CFs for a long time! But this morning I went to my local boutique and purchased the coco handle. It was the best size for me, fits my essentials. I prefer small sized bags because I only wear my bags crossbody since I have two kids that are under 5.
I purchased the new “small” coco handle not the smallest size mini coco handle. The mini coco handle is way too small it barely fits my phone. By the way the 21P coco handle interior is fully leather lined!!
I know Chanel in department stores allow this! Not sure about independent boutiques.
