I am size 8 usually. size 39 fits me fine so i would think 41 would be too big even with wide feet like me.

So today I took my new jumbo out for the first time and (of course) managed to get splashed by a 10ft overhead wave out of nowhere while walking along a seaside path. I got completely drenched! Apart from thoroughly wiping down the bag and hardware with baby wipes, does anyone have any recommendations on how to prevent damage from sea water? Thanks!
Just bought this boy from eBay: https://www.ebay.ca/itm/Chanel-Old-...2349624.m46890.l6249&mkrid=706-127636-26712-0
I got lots of detailed photos from the seller and got Zeko to authenticate it. Once it arrives, I'll be sure to compare against the photos. It's a little bit worn out on the corners, which I don't mind because it will be my everyday bag, but I'm wondering if it's possible to bring it in to a Chanel boutique to get it polished and cleaned. The only item I've bought directly from the boutique is my WOC but it still looks like new so I've never had a need to bring it in for anything. I'm wondering if that is a service that is even offered. Also kind of curious, do SAs dislike if someone brings in a pre loved bag for that type of thing?
TIA

never on the floor! always on the chair behind me
I would invest in a purse hook you can hang from the table. I normally sit at the bar which has those hooks under the table. I am always nervous leaving my bag on the back of the chair in fear someone will walk by me and steal it.
Hey guys!
does anyone know what the Coco handle bags(all sizes) are priced at right now, and how much they are supposed to jump? My SA said they are going up (AGAIN) it’s just a matter of when and how much. I’m trying to decide if I want to put my name of the reserve list or not.
Thanks!

Hi!! I was wondering if anyone can help me understand how or which boutiques are “hybrid” boutiques? It’s such a bummer with the limits if you are a Chanel “collector”. I love using my bags but am trying to add more color sooner than later with all the price increases and the limits are making it difficult!! Spring has so many gorgeous colors!
I would love to know this myself! I have shopped at one saks locally and it seems it’s a Chanel inside saks, then I I tried to buy remotely and the SA told me she has no access to Chanel records. She needed pictures of at least two receipts in recent history that proved I was an established customer. Super confusing.. I thought all department stores were technically Chanel
I have been on the hunt for a pristine vintage-ish medium black flap for like 3 years. I originally was aiming towards caviar, but switched to lambskin since I have a black caviar jumbo with gold hardware. Now with all of the price increases even the vintage market is massively inflated. But I’m at the point where I still want the bag but I’m tired of looking and I don’t want to pay much more than they’re at now.
I found this one from a reputable seller and it’s puffy and the hardware is great. It was listed a couple of times and immediately sold, so when it came back on I jumped on it. I knew there had to be a reason, and it’s probably that the wear is a little more than they listed. Some of the corners are like missing the shiny part of the leather, there are some scratches, and there’s an indent where the bottom part of the flap hits the bag (it looks like the CC/leather area is bent in a little bit causing the indent).
I’m attaching pics of one of the corners (with and without flash). Is this normal? Is this okay (will it get worse)? I found another seller that says she has a really good one but hasn’t sent pics yet, but it would be like $1,000ish more. I don’t really want to spend that, but my thinking is if the corners on this one aren’t good and there’s other wear, and that ones perfect, is it worth it to just spend the money? Also just a note, this one didn’t come with the authenticity card (but again they are a reputable seller and I’m not looking to resell).
TIA!!

If you're in the states, you could send it to Leather Surgeons for bag spa and they will authenticate at the same time.
When purchasing, as long as you pay through PayPal and credit card, I believe you should be able to dispute if it turns out to be fake (though I haven't had to do this myself yet). Lack of authenticity card on a vintage wouldn't really bother me (but when buying more recent things, I require at least auth card and original dustbag). The one thing is that I would be really confused and concerned about it being bought then re-listed. I would ask the seller why and I would also get lots of photos and get it authenticated beforehand. Good luck! I know how you feel being on the constant search for your dream bag and how difficult it is!
Thanks! I’m kind of trying to decide if I should keep it before I do anything that would make it unreturnable.
It’s from Fashionphile, so I’m not too concerned with them selling a fake, but I’ll definitely give them a call on Monday to see if they we’re given any reasons for the previous returns.
Hi, just wondering for those who have the 2.55 lucky charms bags, do you find the bag to be heavy because of the charms? How does the weight compare to a small classic flap in caviar?
Thanks in advance!
Thanks in advance!
I saw the mini lambskin in dark green (pictured) from fashion_finders_nyc‘s IG stories. Can anyone confirm if this is from the 22P releasing in the next week or so?
I’m debating whether I want this… it kind of looks like a dark green-blue with LGHW but I don’t recall seeing this on the 22P thread.
TIA

Apologies if this isn't the right place to post this, but I thought it was fascinating to see -- this is a Chanel purse from sometime in the 1930s, long before the 2.55. It's cool to see that even then the basic flap and clasp shape was there.
