What are the chances of getting a black mini square in lghw? I haven’t been able to go to the boutique to buy something and be in the system because of weather etc. I live 5/ 5 1/2 to the closest Chanel boutique.I feel like there’s no hope, places like Fashionphile prices for the condition is insulting.

Marron is brown. It’s french
But I agree with you that Chanel often confuse us with the names, colors and sizing. For example both Coco handle and Business affinity are just named ‘Flap bag with top handle‘ and so many other seasonal bags. I wish the website can be more specific.
Lol literally thought of that right after I typed it. I actually was just saying in another thread that I almost missed that bag because my SA kept calling the color dark beige and the internet was calling it caramel while the website was calling it brown. But yes, that is only one example. Like for instance the sizes of the classic flap as shown on the website are not the same names as the sizes they are referred to in store. And the names of bags are different. There seems to be no standardization. It makes shopping remotely very difficult!
Does anyone own a seasonal bag/WOC from the Fall/Winter 2020/2021 collection with the serial number starting with 28?
Newly registered so can't create a thread! First time Chanel bag purchase:
Should I get the small classic flap in navy caviar or medium classic flap in black lambskin?
Ideally I would like the medium classic flap in navy caviar but prices, even on the preloved market, are ridiculous and way out of my budget.
I'm 5'7'' and am looking to purchase a classic flap mostly for day to day use as well as occasional dinners/parties/weddings.
Thank you in advance if you respond!

If those are your choices I would say medium in black lamb. I’m also 5ft 7 and I have a medium black lamb which was my first chanel purchase in 2006, it is a timeless classic which goes with everything and with good care of it (I have worn it a lot) still looks amazing today. Excited for you!
Minis/WOC/SLGs aren’t ever worth it for me. But if you love it... go for it. Though I think there might be better priced ones around.
Usually we pull the chain from inside the flap and keep the chains in the bag. Just for a day should be fine. For long term remember to wrap the chain in felt otherwise they might leave chain marks on the interior leather.
Black lamb classic was my first, too. It IS as fragile and it also ISN’T. I saved for my bag and was paranoid about scratching it. Elaborate set up to store it, the whole works. When it was brand new, I stupidly wore it to a wedding and didn’t realize my sequined dress scratched the back of my bag. I was so sad. But that was the best thing that happened. I conditioned the leather and set it aside, heartbroken. Well, it was scratched anyway so then I started using it every day. Took it on airplanes. Rain. Snow. Yes, I store it really well. But it looks fantastic. Those scratches are so faint on the back (somehow blended over time) and literally nothing else. No corner wear. Still looks new. So both things are true. Mine is from early 2016.
