She's beautiful! Why don't you feel like you'll wear it?
I probably wear my WOC and mini rectangular about the same - I like the WOC for nighttime outings and short errand runs, but like the mini for longer errands/everyday use. I'm debating buying a small CF soon but not sure if it's worth it, size wise.

i work from home remote and just feel like I don’t have a lot of occasions to wear such an expensive bag. Lol. Maybe it’s my attitude too. Like I feel a lot better wearing a WOC to get groceries versus a CF idk. I know I was debating whether to get the one in medium or small. But I am petite and short and my SA kept on telling me the small looks better. At the same time I do agree the size is kinda awkward

I feel like my WOC is more 'fancy' than my mini to be honest. I think it looks more delicate and like an evening bag, but that's just me! I just did a Pinterest search and there are a lot of casual outfits, so take my advice with a grain of salt :lol: I personally like the look of the small over the medium too.
If you think you won't get much use out of it though, I would return it. It's a lot of money to be indecisive about (but it's a beautiful bag!).

What do you think about keeping it as an investment? I heard another price increase is coming? Not sure how hard it is to sell and things like that.

aww I love this community. Lolol.Definitely not a dilemma you can talk to everyone about.

Nooo not another price increase! I have no idea about reselling but I know this is a timeless and popular bag, so I imagine it would keep its resell value well. I would keep it if you can afford it :smile:
I feel like I've found my people with this community haha my husband sure was getting sick of my 'what do you think of this bag?' questions!

ThNk you for your our tips! That’s true. It’s a classic and timeless piece. But I’ll keep my best to wear it with caution. Lol. That’s why I am definitely not a lambskin girl!

Hi all! I am in a bit of dilemma. I really want it a caviar classic WOC in GHW. I walked into a boutique a few days ago and they actually had classic flap in caviar GHW and they didn’t have the WOC. I think it’s a bit of impulse, and I just bought the classic CF in caviar GHW small. I just felt like it’s such a good opportunity especially it is so hard to find nowadays

But after thinking about it, I just feel like I don’t have a lot of occasions to wear a $9000 CF around a lot.

so now I’m debating if I should 1) return it 2) keep it as investment (not sure how easy it is to resell) or 3) keep it and use it instead of the WOC.

Keep keep keep! They are difficult to come by! It will hold more than woc, can be worn more ways, and just looks more classic IMO. Just use a small card holder in it or stash cards in the back slip pockets. I just got a medium caviar black after waiting soooooo long on waiting lists!
And you can wear this dressed up or down. Casual or dressy. The caviar is pretty tough!

I contacted my sa wanting to return >< I got the WOC I posted. I think 8900 is too much for me to spend on a bag atm but I kept on thinking maybe I should have gotten a medium
 
Don't ever buy from a seller in Indonesia if you are overseas. There are only a handful of reputable ones (if even that) with zero fakes and/or fully responsible if item is fake/with defect. Most sellers mix fake and authentic especially those located outside the capital (Jakarta). Super fakes are rife and the domestic demand for super fakes is high. Police is hopeless (they got bigger things to fry, are understaffed, under budget).

Sad to hear that there's nothing much that the Indonesian authorities can (or will) do too. Thanks for your response anyway! :)

Hope to appeal to the community to report this account on Instagram as well, thank you! FYI this scammer account has now been renamed to shasaluxurycollection

Definitely keep. I returned mine when it was 2700 or less to BG 10 years ago, spent $200 on shipping, I was so dumb. Now I want it again when I’m traveling to London in a week. Need the English’ input: is it cheaper to buy in London than in the US. Sorry to hijack

I ended up returning it. If you are traveling to London, you might as well as take a trip to Paris, Italy or the EU countries. They are cheaper with the VAT refund.

Hi all! So I recently got my first Chanel bag, a black small classic flap caviar with GHW. It's been my dream bag for years but I was reluctant to get it until last October after getting a new job :) Unfortunately I live in Toronto where it's extremely hard to get any Chanel classic styles of any sort :sad: (we only have a few Chanel stores here in Canada and the stocks are always extremely limited and it's getting even worse for the past couple of years). Anw, after connecting with a SA here and frequently checking with her, I waited for like 6 months without any luck :(( My FOMO kicked in after going through 2 price increases in November 2021 and March 2022 so I decided to contact a UK seller whom my friend often purchases her bags from. I ended up buying the bag from her for a few hundred dollars more than the store price, including the shipping fees so it's actually not too bad. I was super happy when I received my bag but then I noticed something about the screws at the back of the cc lock. They are star-shaped screws, which are unlike the regular flat-head screws used in Chanel CF bags. Tbh, I went insane and checked all unboxing videos of similar caviar CF bags on youtube and instagram and realized that all of them have flat-head screws :(((( I know that star-shaped screws are also used by Chanel but it seems like they are used with other styles but not the caviar CF? If anyone of you here recently got this bag (black, small CF caviar with GHW), please let me know about the screws!!! My bag was purchased from Knightsbridge Harrods UK on March 15th, 2022. Thanks!!!

do all purses and wallets have no authenticity cards now? I just bought a chanel flap wallet from an online reseller and the receipt says the wallet was bought this year (2022) from NM but the wallet still came with an authenticity card.
