Hi everyone!

This is my first post here. I just need some help finding some information on this bag. It will be my firs Chanel purchase. Does anyone know if this mini top handle will come back in grained calfskin anytime soon?
I'm based in Canada and I don't know any Chanel SAs unfortunately.

I think the mini top handle only came out in caviar that very first season... since then it's all been lambskin (including the latest 21K season).

Hi! TPF newbie here. I frequently read but rarely post and not sure if this is the best thread for this post but I couldn’t start a new thread so here goes -

today, I found out my Chanel SA at SCP passed away recently. He uncharacteristically hadn’t responded to me a few days ago so I texted to see if things were okay. I noticed my iMessage turn from blue to green. I went over on his Instagram tags to see if he was on vacation perhaps and was so shocked to find out he died suddenly earlier this month.

I know this last year has been one of losses for many. I lost a dear friend today but couldn’t quite figure out how to share his legacy with my friends or family. It seems only fitting to share with my fellow purse lovers, who only can understand what special relationships these are - that they’re so much more than just a means to a shopping fix.

My friend was the sole supporter of his family. He worked several jobs so he could achieve his dream of buying a house for his mom. His other work family has a go fund me - to support his family. (Linked). I really just wanted to share his story with our SoCal shopping community, especially if he was your friend too. Even if he wasn’t, go hug your SA next time you see them ❤ Thanks for reading.

Thank you so much for posting! I had no idea! Sirosh was so much fun and a real asset to that boutique. He’s so young, how heartbreaking :sad:

I didn’t like the mini top handle when it came out, but it is growing on me. I wonder if it is still possible to find one from that first season in any boutique at this point.

not likely :( you can try to ask though.
Caviar + Mini size = super popular
my friend asked her SA in June (that’s when she found out that there was a mini top handle with caviar) and the SA confirmed there was none in stock in Vancouver.

They are not my taste but if you love them and live somewhere that is cooler to get your cost per wear up I say go for it!

Hi everyone, I’m still a bit new to buying Chanel and just had a few questions. I currently work with a remote SA in another state but, I also want to try to shop in store as well. Is it ok to have two SAs? And if so, for items on your wishlist do you ask for the same item from both SAs? I’m afraid by pure luck if both SAs are able to get the item you would have to disappoint one of them :( or would you just ask them for different things on your wishlist? Thank you!

It is okay to have two SA's. You can ask for the same item from both SA's it's unlikely that both will find it for you.

hello everybody I am looking for SA in South coast plaza mall California. anyone willing to share their contact? I want to treat myself with my first Chanel bag but I am sure it won’t the the last one .We plan to drive down to that boutique and I have a couple bags that I am interested in. I just don’t want to waste 2 hrs drive and come back home with nothing . So I think it would be better if I could contact an SA there direct and see if they have the bag I am looking for before we drive there
Thank you .

Hi everyone,
I shop the preloved Chanel market and I feel like I've been noticing some lower prices than last month...unless it's just my imagination. Anyone else notice this? I thought prices were going to go up this month...and I didn't think Chanel ever really decreases in price anyway ha ha...hmm...

I live in Europe - but I still only see extremely high prices. A few years ago you could still find great deals on classic flaps but even the ones in bad condition and/or non-basic colors don't go below 3000 euros. And almost every week you see resellers post about price increases and use it as an excuse to ask even higher prices.
