Yes, I heard the same. Is calfskin durable? I wanted a Caviar Boy because I have a 4 year old at Home and a Baby on the way!

I’ve heard that distressed calfskin is more durable to scratches than smooth calfskin. I think this boy is a smooth calfskin.

Lambskin is the most sensitive. I’ve heard calfskin is pretty good. I don’t wear my nails long so I hope it will stand the test.

I only have purchased caviar and distressed calfskin due to my clumsiness!

Possibly, but the stores are so far away that I was going to do a charge by phone instead. Also, boutique SA told me that minis will arrive with the increase incorporated into pricing, but my Nordstrom SA didn't even have a clue about the increase, so not sure if I will benefit from the old price either way. I think I'm going to go with the matte black finish but I need to find out if my SA can even get me one, otherwise I will "settle" for iridescent.
I went to the chanel store today and i was told cruise is coming out nov 17 in canada! I take it the bags will have the price increase built into them.

I think you should keep both too haha

I would keep them both too - 2 different looks. If they made the "Lt beige" more often like the "beige clair" I would say wait and get it another time. But it doesn't come around much!:heart::heart:

Oh my gosh guys [emoji23][emoji23] it's funny because the first thing my boyfriend said is, YOU'RE NOT GETTING BOTH [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] but I want them!!

I apologize for the late replies! I was traveling again shortly after posting.

Hi! Gorgeous bag...do you have the style code? Thanks!
Thank you! Yes, it is A6990048331294305 :smile:

Hi
Congrats on your purchase!
Can I ask what is the chain length for this mini? I’m asking because last season’s mini had shorter chains.
And the caviar leather is more matt than glossy?
Do u have any modelling shots to share with us please? Thanks!
Thank you! The chain length seems shorter to me than previous rectangle minis. I haven't measured this one specifically, but I have passed on rectangle minis for a long time because the strap length was just too long. This length is more reasonable. I will try to post some mod shots comparing it to a mini square soon.
I also think the size of the actual bag is a bit bigger than rectangle minis in the past, but that may just be due to the stitching around the flap making it appear larger.
And the caviar is matte. I was surprised how matte it appeared in the store. But the more I look at it in different lighting and the more I touch it, it seems to have more lustre. Wondering if maybe the caviar will gain more shine the more it is handled. I'm not worried about it though, and I actually prefer the toned-down look.

Congratulations! Thanks for sharing! Is the mini from 2018 Cruise? Does the matte look dull? Love to see pics of bag with natural light.
Yes it is from 2018 Cruise :smile: Please see my answer above about the caviar. And thank you!

Thanks for sharing this! I’m goinh in March so I hope the conversion is still good!! How was the selection? Did you have to reserve it beforehand?
The conversion has been pretty good for awhile so I think you should be in luck! And I did not reserve it beforehand, just happened to go in on a good day :yes:

Thank you for all this Infos! :)
So it's better for me to wait until a Black Caviar Boy comes around!
