What are everyone's' favorite Chanel travel bags? I am sure I will hear WOC but any others? What about the 19? Or too risky? I would love to take my caramel 19 for my vacation as it will look so good with floral dresses but scared that it may get smooshed or scratched. TIA!

Okay fellow bag&luxury lovers—is it just me, or are Chanel SAs not responding all of a sudden?! I was offered two bags ( I was working with someone in Vegas and San Francisco) one SAs bag was medium CF, and the other a medium CCH.These were both dream wishlists bags- I told them both “YES- I’ll take it” (yes, they know about each other) and I have not heard back from either of them again! - I do feel kind of bad because after about a week and a half, I sent them both a pretty long text, asking “to be informed on wtf is going on- if you’re to busy please pass me off to another SA-I said yes I’ll take the bag, and then this disappearing act- it’s messed up, you don’t offer someone an item and completely disappeared!” ( I called Chanel and confirmed SA in Vegas was still part of the company, the other is in a Neiman Marcus Boutique-so she could have left.) The ridiculous price increases to price out a certain group is already such a bad look for Chanel, if they are going to make it hard to get ahold of SAs for wishlist holds and purchased also, than I’m out. I’ve been exploring Fendi, Bvlgari, open to other brands….and I’ve always loved Louis Vuitton, Hermès, and Yves Saint Laurent…… Chanel was my first love(fashion/bags sense),but I’m ready to say goodbye forever, if this is the new norm. When I called the assistant hotline they did apologize profusely-and sent a message to the boutique for someone to reach me ASAP.
If I hear nothing by Saturday- I’m done done done (which would be a shame I do have four must have/wants, that I’m willing to purchase on the spot-plus a decent list of items I wanted to be waitlisted for.

Anyone else experiencing this crazy SA disappearance?! If anyone has an SA that is responsive, would you mind PMing to share their info? I understand they are busy, I’m busy too; and I’m usually very to the point, fast messages about the item(s) I want; if you have it here’s my card, if you don’t just put me in the waitlist. That’s it- fast and easy. When I’m mad, the long messages come out, because I want my answers.
I have one in Vegas that has been very responsive to my million questions and one in Portland that is very lacking! LMK if you want my Vegas guy.
 
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
i think as long as you're in their system should be fine. I didnt have a client number either, all they did was ask me if i purchase from boutique before and i was able to order over the phone
 
Help me decide which one!
(Caviar) small black classic Chanel

(Goat Skin) Medium beige multi-tone Chanel classic

Which one is a better investment? The beige multi tone one is 22C collection and somewhat a seasonal classic in medium. While this have more resale value than black small classic?

Definitely the black one. Always a classic!
 
I recently purchased a classic flap medium and boy bag. Should I get a mini or WOC next? Looking for a nice small evening bag.
If you are looking for an evening bag then a mini as it’s in lambskin but I know a lot of people use their minis as an everyday bag as it fits more. WOCs don’t fit much. I can only keep my LV key cles, phone, lipstick, car key. If I have to carry my inhaler then no phone. I keep all my cards in the slots especially during travel. I do love my WOC though! It’s more versatile and will sit flat on me. The mini can bump around and with it being lambskin, you need to be a little careful. I don’t own a mini and don’t plan on adding one to my collection yet unless it comes in caviar.
