Those who have seen or scored black minis from 20B- do they have light gold hardware or just silver?
I think just silver this season... that's what the SA said yesterday that they will be getting in a week even though they already had a few in boxes at the store for black square and rectangle. But, probably should verify with another SA also.
 
Too bad, I really wanted to add a light gold hardware to my collection....I don't think I can wait for the light gold next season and pay for another price increase in September/October I heard...
 
In EU they don’t give you a refund T.T only store credit. And I wanted my money back so I returned one, in which I bought the new one over the phone, so I couldn’t check it properly, and it turned out also of poor quality so I sold it, loosing money on it.
It's really unfortunate that Chanel's quality has decreased even though their prices are increasing and becoming ridiculous. With this kind of price, it should be 100% flawless and perfect. It's really frustrating saving for a bag that keeps increasing in price a few times a year. Ordering via phone seems to be risky since you can't inspect the bag. Even at the store, I always have to settle for the better of the two (if I am even lucky to find two at the store). Chanel store is 5 hours away so it's difficult for me to get my hands on a perfect bag.
 
It will be my first lambskin piece from Chanel so I am very excited and nervous! Hopefully, it will end up aging beautifully!

Wow... I’m so excited for you!!! I think you will LOVE the lamb! And don’t be afraid to use it lol. You can also buy leather conditioner (which is what I plan on doing) and it works wonders from what I have seen. Anyway, you’ll have to post pics of your beauty when she arrives... I can’t wait to see!
 
I am really curious what 20B red looks like in real life. From the picture I see it is very similar to the 19B. What makes them a bit different is because one is in caviar and one is in lamb with lamb does absorb color better/more saturated imo. I see a pinch of brown undertone in both reds. And see both not a vibrant red. Is that what you guys also see or just me? I'm keen to know what others think of them.

I have 19B red and the shade change a lot depending on the light, like most Chanel colours do. The 20B may be the same case.

I saw the feed and it says 20B red CF come in caviar as well. Is that true? Really wondering how both red caviar 19B and 20B look side by side.

Have you considered the ivory iridescent? It will be coming in light gold hardware. From the pictures posted of the round crossbody (just for the color swatch), it looks super gorgeous.

Thank you so much! Do you recommend a particular leather conditioner that would be safe to use on Chanel lambskin?

Ohhh :sad: Is it me or the quality this season does not seem good ? The 19 bag is not straight and the rectangle mini either. Also the quilting is deflated.
They could be crooked but you can’t really understand from the picture in my opinion. Unfortunately many Chanel minis have a weird shape, that’s why it’s always necessary to buy a Chanel bag in person and not based on pictures.
 
If I can give you a pice of advice... either wait for mini caviar to come back ( they will I am pretty sure) or buy it pre-loved. Or if you don’t trust the preloved market, but the small classic in caviar. It’s almost the same price as the mini and you get the caviar without waiting for another price increase. Even the CH is better than the mini in lamb. :heart:
PSS: just have a look at the post after this, there’s a Red mini ... look at the bottom... that’s what I mean T.T
I’m very interested in your opinion about mini in caviar coming back: it would be such a dream! Is it based on your personal idea or do you have any intel about? I love my lambskin minis, I will never let them go but I will immediately buy more if minis will be released in caviar.
