not sure of ur first question. I always got call or text when the bag arrived and before they charged my card
Hi Chanel lovers, I’m new to Chanel and got the bug. I wanted to ask if color comes off the chains and hardware from SO black bags over time. What is that hardware? Will it become silver or gold if the black scratches off? And if I wanted to get that repaired does Chanel handle that? Thank you so much.
Does anyone have a SA that they can share to help assist looking for a bag?
Guys, I'm still looking for lambskin black mini flap rectangular with either SHW/GHW in the Bay Area. I'm a new client so I can't purchase thru phone and all the boutiques here keep me on waitlist for almost half a year 
Are there any other ways I can get it soon? I would really appreciate if someone could help, I can pay some extra tho. Thank you so much!!!

You can try to look on fashionphile or Julia Rose or if you really want you can get a sourced like Mireya_fashionlover, but will be a premium price. Otherwise it’s a waiting game. Even if you did have a purchase offer, they only look around your area and still ask you to go into a store.Guys, I'm still looking for lambskin black mini flap rectangular with either SHW/GHW in the Bay Area.

You should go to one of the Bay Area boutiques and purchase an SLG so you have purchase history established. That way you can work with any SA in the states. Also I see minis pop up here all the time on the stock thread and you may be able to obtain one that way. It’s worth the effort. I love my minis!
Agree!! Instead of paying a premium, buy an slg & then you can use any SA in the US. (And then you can look at the Vegas & New York stores especially).
Would you usually just call into the store and speak to any SA or still need a referral to find SA?
I think that you can call the boutique line & ask for someone to help you. Otherwise there are threads for recommended SAs.
There isn’t a Chanel in my state so I use the SAs in Vegas. I have a customer history (I bought shoes on vacation) so then the customer service rep gave me the option of contacting the old SA or getting a new SA if I wanted immediate service. (And I think that it was a centralized number when I called the bellagio boutique). And you can chat online with the Chanel website, too.
Also, I just saw some black minis in the shopping threads at department stores. I think Saks & NM & you could dm the lister (I think it was nat) for SA info, too.
Honestly, I bought my first Chanel many years ago (pst tote) and then hardly bought a couple classics over 10 years because I had rotten luck with the Chicago boutique. But on vacation, I found all the SAs in Vegas to be very nice. This year, I’ve bought 2 bags & 2 prs of shoes & will probably buy another bag or two before the year ends. For someone else, that may be nothing, but for me that’s a lot. And it’s simply because the service is so much better. And this is in spite of covid shortages.
So I purchased a classic flap via phone from Florida (I'm in California), I asked my SA if I need to register the bag to me because of the chip now, she wasn't sure and was going to get back to me, haven't heard back. Does anyone know? I did supply all my information when I purchased it. I tried to call Customer Service, and they said they aren't sure and need to route to another dept, so now I'm waiting. Does anyone know??
