No clue! What happened??

A woman posted on her Tiktok account about what is inside the Chanel advent calendar. She alongside those who watched the videos of her unboxing each one of the days was shocked at what is inside for the price. She mentioned in a video that Chanel blocked her on Tiktok. Chanel has reportedly deleted its TikTok account after the TikTok videos went viral. The videos are also starting to spread more and more other social media platforms. Several people are talking about it on Twitter and Chanel's recent instagram post is filled with comments about the advant calander.

 
I keep reading that you can purchase online/over the phone through SAs as long as you've purchased from the boutique at least once. I bought my WOC from the boutique back in 2014 but I don't see any client number on the receipt. My name, address, and phone number are the same though. Does this count or was it too long ago? Curious to hear any additional info. Also I'm in Canada if that makes a difference. TIA

Chanel was stupid for even making the whole Aliexpress gift box looking thing, then for blocking Elise and of course then deleting their tiktok acccount. It’s just silly and crazy. Who’s behind that whole decision from the invention of that stupid giftbox to making and then deleting a tiktok? Though, to be honest, I’m glad that they did, tiktok’s stupid anyways.

On another note I’m interested in acquiring my first chanel flats, I have a foot size EU43 which is I think in the US 10. Will wearing chanel shoes even be possible for me or should I side with gen z after all?
 
Does anyone know of any SLGs with a chain coming in upcoming seasons, but where the chain is attached to the top of the bag instead of being threaded through the flap (like WOC)? In retrospect I wish I had purchased one of the 21A/21K cardhold on chain styles.

Chanel has responded to the controversy.

The flats are so pretty! Which ones are you getting? Though the way Chanel handled the controversy was childish, I'm back on this forum, admiring the 22A photos :graucho:
 
Hi ladies, I'm trying to grow my chanel collection and looking for advice on what to get next. I currently own a mini flap and WOC. I've been thinking about getting a medium flap but I feel it's a more "formal" bag that I don't have many occations to wear. I'm also thinking about getting a shopping bag cause it seems more functional in daily life. But it seems to expensive to use it as a commute bag or mommy bag. The trendy pieces are cute too... Would like to her your thoughts! :)
 
Have we determine if the no waitlist for classic items is true? Will reach out to my SA tmr but let's say that I can be waitlisted or charged the moment the items come in..should I stick with my SA or should I stalk the stock thread for my item of choice.

I'm not in a rush per se which makes me wanty to stick with my SA..however, I'm not sure how long I will have to wait for + have to keep my fingers crossed the price doesn't increase while waiting.

What about Chanel 19? Less formal but can hold quite a bit and still an easy to use flap. I have owned a Deauville but I personally didn't love how it was wearing so won't buy another. My top most used bags are my minis and 19.

I've been considering the 19! Did you get yours in lambskin? How's the wear and tear on yours? Thank you :)

Yes mine is lambskin. Wear has been absolutely great! No signs. I have to force myself to use other bags just because 19 is so easy and spacious. I don’t carry much though in general so small bags work for me. Anytime I have bumped into something and on the rare occasion it makes a mark I can “erase” it with a few finger tip circles. Mine is in black as I wanted the 19 to feel truly carefree. If I ever did get a second it would be a more fun color. I will say I haven’t felt the need for another though.

That's great to hear! I think what I'm looking for next is a more spacious and care-free chanel bag. The 19 is definetely on top of the list. Thank you for your input!
 
I am new to this forum. Can anyone with ChAnel knowledge tell me if the serial codes were ever in red and black for vintage totes year 2003 to 2004. Also my made in Italy tag seems a little off center. Wondering if this is a fake. Help
