Hi there, I have the exact same 19B red flap. I checked on the tag and the code is Y33352 which translated to grained calfskin with gold-tone hardware according to chanel website. I notice that particular bag feels softer too. Are your other 2 flaps REV? Permanent flap caviar uses stiffer caviar (based on my observation only) and they always come with edge stitching while seasonal differs from season to season. For me the soft caviar doesn’t bother me at all. It’s still sturdy yet not too rigid. What bothers me is that sometimes I feel that the finish looks a bit plasticky. Sad..

You must follow your heart. And which one will be more convenient for your lifestyle. In the end, you’d probably wanting both. Looks like you want reissue but worry about resale value. I enjoy my reissue much more than my CF but I love both styles.
I would say it’s normal. 29xx is late 2019. I have 19B bag that still start with 28xx so I’m guessing 29 series is around sept if not nov 2019. So it’s still less than 2 years old. With then the covid situation and lockdown it is very normal that the sales slow down and the crazy price increase last year made people think 7 times investing in new CF. Having said that, I remembered people rushing buying CF to beat price increase in May last year. So I’m saying it is possible that it was a return or it’s just an unsold inventory. Also possible it’s a recent shipment. Sometimes Chanel randomly ship older series. As long as it’s pristine condition, I wouldn’t worry. Enjoy your bag!
Hi Purse Forum! I was wondering how it works to be put in contact with an SA on here. I live in Portland which has a boutique within a Nordstrom, but it is extremely limited in terms of inventory. I don't have a purchase history, would I still be able to purchase elsewhere and have something shipped to my house?
So, I plan on buying my first Chanel bag, after much through I decided on the Small Trendy CC. HOWEVER. I’m having a really difficult time getting the bag. I’ve call Chanel client services a handful of time, been connected to SA’s and gone to multiple boutiques with no avail. I want my first Chanel bag to be bought in the boutique, and within the preloved market the Trendy CC is way above retail value. Any advice, I’m really loosing hope. ( I love in Southern, California BTW). Thank you !
Just purchased the black medium in caviar and already feeling buyer’s remorse. My heart is still set on the navy caviar. Ughhh i hate this feeling! The reissue is easier to find but yeah, the resale value factor and i think it might bother me if the aged calfskin becomes even more crinkled than it already is.
Hi all,
I am finally going to buy my DREAM bag, the Chanel classic flap bag (GW with Caviar leather) in the medium size. I have an appointment at the Chanel store on saturday 17 April.
I was just wondering whether the bag is still EUR 6050 or is it now EUR 6350? I couldn't find an answer on the internet. I live in Europe btw.
Many thanks.

Hey all. I was wondering are SA allowed to share photos of future collections? I asked my SA for some photos from Metiers D'art collection and he kind of ignored my message and moved to another topic. He is based in France if that makes a difference..
Does anyone know of a reliable seller that has a 21s pink/lilacy pink o case or full size snap wallet for purchase ? Any lead would be great

. Was told NM purchase history is possibly necessary and I did have that. The only case I heard a purchase history is required is to make a phone order through Chanel boutique. Always, does not hurt to try : D
Curious if vintage fans believe Chanel Diana bags will go down in value? Also curious if anyone knows what exactly caused the prices to sky rocket as they have? I really want one but I am seeing many between $4500-$8500 (the latter being ridiculous!) when I hear not even a few years ago they were ~$1500-$2500
Thank you so much! I'd heard that about the stand alone boutiques as well, so that makes much more sense.Recently got connected with @nat74 ‘s NM SA. Made a purchase successfully without a CHANEL purchase history
Up till 2018/2019 it used to be that people buy vintage because they are much cheaper. Seeing that Chanel keep raising their price, the 2nd market will follow. But it shot up ridiculously in 2020/2021 as they hve been popularised. Marketed for having 24k Gold plated hardware, better lambskin, structure, connection with Princess Diana, will never be made again etc. As long as there are demands the price will never fall.
Also, all resellers are on Instagram, if they keep buying to sell(and was successful at selling at that high price)... the source will naturally set a higher price as well. But people keep buying.
