CHANEL CHIT CHAT Thread!

Do you find the lambskin age well? Is it as fragile as everyone says it is?

It has aged very well. I wouldn’t say it is fragile, i wear my bags but try to be careful not to knock them, don’t put them on the floor in places etc, it’s absolutely fine.

So far, has any of the quilts dimpled/became less puffy?

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.

Good to know! I figure with lambskin, it’ll be easier down the road to restore and touch up the bag colour because lambskin takes colour very well. Thank you for your input!

I wouldn’t say so. I’m still in love with this bag the same as the day I bought it. Hope this helps taken a few days ago!

Hi everyone! Does anyone know if the Chanel Gabrielle Backpack (black & medium size specifically) is still being made/sold? I know it was quite the hit a couple of years ago now, but I would still love to own it!

I just got off the phone with Chanel. Supposedly the black will be returning and mostly in dept. stores. She really couldn’t tell me when though

long time bag collector here but new to the wonderful world of Chanel...I picked this beauty up yesterday At Chanel Waikiki L- gusset flap wallet in black caviar made in France.. date code says 2019 which is fine by me but what I’m curious about is, is this a harder to find item ? I have a few Louis Vuitton wallets very similar and am debating on keeping her or not... will I kick myself later for returning? or will she be easily found again ?? Any help would be great help... also throwing this one out there has anyone seen the Chanel flap case recently or has the boat been missed completely...

I've been hunting for the black too, but everyone is telling me they have no idea when they're getting it in! I have found the smaller size in various colors if you're interested! They did come out with a new minty color for this new 21S collection...

Please share what’s available! Saks has an iridescent pink from 19S available but I’m just not a fan. The blue from cruise is completely sold out so if you have news of other colors, that info would be very welcome!
