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 jobUnfortunately I live in Toronto where it's extremely hard to get any Chanel classic styles of any sort
(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
Got my small black flap from Chanel boutique Omotesando, Japan, in February 2022. It has the star screw like yours.
So sorry this happened to you. Please don’t buy from sellers who can’t proof to you that they are real. Like writing your username with their username on a piece of paper and photographing it next to the bag you want to buy. Most sincere sellers I’ve come across would not mind doing that for customers.
Hi all!
I purchased this off Fashionphile...not asking for authentication...but I was wondering if it was common for there to be “holes” along the stitching lines with this color/season?
It’s 21s..color on the Chanel tag is yellow NC420 (I get more tennis ball color from it in person). I fell in love with the color as soon as it came out and have (im)patiently waited for it to pop up somewhere, but I don’t want a like defective bag.
Thanks everyone!
(Edited to add a second picture-first shows the holes better in the stitching but the second picture shows the color better for reference).

If you're solely keeping it as an investment, your money could grow quicker elsewhere, like with the right stocks. I don't think you'll make money on it in the short term and you'll definitely lose money if you sell to a reseller like Fashionphile.
I think your decision should solely be based on whether you'll use it and how much you love it.
Hi, I have a question about restocking bags in Boutiques. I search for a light pink Wallet on Chain color NG750. My SA in Berlin writes me they will got new stock in June an there is a chance they will get this bag agein (they already had this bag and it is sold out). Do You think there is a real chance that the Boutique will get it again? Thank You
Sorry to bump but my return period is almost up!
If anyone even has a suggestion on where would be a better place to post or a general opinion on the stitching spaces I’d really appreciate it.
The stitching is normal. It can happen on more delicate leather, like maybe they used too big a needle. I’ve seen many bags like this :/Sorry to bump but my return period is almost up!

Thanks so much! It has a little mark which I’m telling myself I can overlook, but if the stitching was faulty I’d be a little wary.
It’s super hard to get a classic or a mini especially if you don’t have a purchase history. It took me 4 tries going to an actual boutique before I was able to buy a mini reissue. Even with a purchase history!!!! One time there was a lavender mini on the shelf and I asked to see it they told me it wasn’t available for sale and that was that. And now with the restrictions on reserving bag I’m back to trying my luck at the boutiques.
It's not unusual for items for the past season to ship after the new season has launched. Shipments cross seasons pretty often. That pink is a seasonal color so it's a bit of a gamble, however your SA is likely telling you this because they have intel. The last time there was a price increase the inventory was crazy thin right before it, or atleast that's what the boutiques were saying. Given that 22S launched in May and 22a launches in June, it feels like the first week in June provides the perfect opportunity to increase prices and then start shipping again. This week I heard a SA say "bag inventory is very low" which was exactly the language used right before the last price increase when there was limited stock. I'd ask your SA again if she really thinks another shipment and then decide if you want to gamble. Of course there is always other pinks coming in upcoming collections. Good luck deciding!
Thank You for your answer. I hope to find this great bag. Fingers crossed they will get it again.
