Hi ladies, just wondering if it’s normal for the SA to remove the protective sticker on the CC turnlock of a bag (eg the mini sq pearl crush) after the purchase? Or has anyone purchased a brand new bag before without the protective sticker on the logo?

I always wondered this but all my Handbag & SLG purchases had protective stickers removed whether it was in-store or shipped, so I just assumed the SAs automatically remove them. Chanel boutique, NM, Saks, Nordstrom, they're just never on.

I’ve heard that some boutiques remove the stickers to somewhat prevent reselling.

Most of my bags have come with no sticker.

I was wondering the same, since the 22C I purchased had the protective stickers already removed when I went to pick it up. I asked my SA and she said she removed them…but this was the first time a newly purchased bag hasn’t had them included.

I noticed, handbags on the shelves have usually removed stickers (probably because so many people touch it) , when they are unopened from the storage they do have the stickers on. My SA at Chanel always keep the sticker on, but at Fendi, for example, I was asked if I would like to have the stickers removed.
 
Hi! Thoughts on this light beige “like a wallet” mini (small size) from 22C? Do you think she is a keeper? My pros/cons so far...

Pros: Caviar, this color!, champagne gold hardware, similar look to a classic

Cons: Zipper visible from the side, long non-adjustable chain (similar to WOC length) falls oddly with my height and for the size of the purse, visible stitching on edges around the front view.

Hi, this bag looks beautiful but unfortunately it doesn’t work for my lifestyle. I tried on this exact same bag at the boutique. What I like about this bag is the classic look, the sturdy caviar leather, and the edge stitching; however, the strap is too long for me and I found opening and closing the bag is quite fuzzy as you need to turn the turnlock, open the flap, and then unzip the bag to access the items inside, and redo these steps to close it. If you keep the zipper pulls in the centre, you need both hands to unzip it. The one I tried on doesn’t have a smooth zipper. I tried leaving the zipper unzipped but the zipper pulls are hanging from the sides of the bag and it doesn’t look attractive. Some people are crisscrossing the strap underneath the flap to make it shorter but it’s too fuzzy for me especially at this price point. I prefer coco handle and business affinity over this, which have similar price point and both are in caviar.
 
Here’s my sleek & clean cut Boy mini doing it’s catwalk :yahoo: So happy to add him, because it reminds me of original boy that Karl created and his time at Chanel. It’s masculine with a bit of feminine touch due to mini size:loveeyes:. I also love the simple smooth yummy calfskin.
I added pic of strap length compare to my rectangular mini ( they are about the same)
-Capacity it holds probably similar to classic mini but if you have a huge phone with a big thick case getting it in and out of the bag will be little challenging.
I normally don’t carry all these on pic, but taken just to show capacity.
Thank you for letting me share my latest addition:hbeat:.

That sucks because personally, I love the feeling of peeling the sticker myself. It’s mineeeeeee.

Beautiful! I have never liked the boy but this throwback to the first original design with the updated square mini shape got me wanting. Love the Chanel word on the side, almost like the hinge of a book.

I was wondering how do you think the structure and especially the sides would hold up? If I’m not mistaken, a common issue for the bigger boy is collapsed/squished sides. I do wonder if this needs a bag insert to prevent that, but it would reduce the capacity and might pose a challenge to fitting an iphone.
