@heymiche I think 23B bags are still available. I am still waiting for my pre-order of a 23B Trendy CC which my SA said the store is still waiting for it to arrive.

The pearly SO black bag may be a bit more difficult to find, but be sure to check dept stores like Harrods and Selfridges (both in London) or Galeries Lafayette and Bon Marche (both in Paris). Everyone seems to want to jump right to the boutiques to "get the full experience", so the bags sell out faster at the boutiques.

As you are not a frequent shopper, in case you do not know... The stores only display and show a small percentage of bags, and they are usually the current season as they want to push them. There are more bags in the "back" or "behind the cabinets" depending on what location you go to. You can ask for other bags, colors, etc.

Hence, it may be a good idea to browse the 23B, 23K, 24C threads here on TPF to look familiarize yourself with other options in case you might be open to other bags. Cruise, 24C, is the newest collection that is out now and soon to be out in many countries next week.

That way, you'll have an idea of what you might like and not impulse buy. Good luck to you!

Hello, may I ask what boutique/city it is you're still waiting to receive a pre-order from 23B at? I have been told that all of 23B has been completely released in Europe. But if other places in the world are still having 23B trickling in, it would mean that there is still hope, as I too have been searching like crazy for this same bag in medium. Thank you.

Hi fellow pearly lamb lover 🙂. I have checked numerous times, including this week, and was told that this bag in a size medium, as that is what I am searching for, is sold out completely in Europe with no hope for more trickling back in. In case you have any success hunting this bag down, could you please share what boutique you had luck at, as I too am superinterested in this particular one? I would really appreciate it.
If anyone has seen it anywhere on the globe, would you please share the location? Thank you very much in advance.

Hi! I live in the US, and this bag is coming from the Chanel boutique, not from a dept store.
I ordered the small in light grey.

For the medium size 23B Trendy CCs, for the US boutiques, my SA told me the color choices were black, red, white, dark beige, and rose. It did not come in light grey in the medium size, at least not in the US boutiques.
Here are the color patches and color codes for the medium size that you are interested in. Hope this helps.

Oh, I am so sorry for writing in such an unclear way-I was referring to the So Black pearly lambskin bag 😯 🙈. I really appreciate all of the detailed effort in your answer and am sorry for sounding misleading. The Trendy is also a sweet one, but I am searching for the pearly lamb. But, thank you!

i am here in paris now! i walked in to 31 rue cambon today and they didn’t have the mini rectangular in pearly so black there but she did check around and 62 montaigne showed they had one so i went there right after and was able to snag it! 31 said they didn’t have it in medium but i didn’t ask them to check other locations since it was the mini rectangle that i really wanted

Hi, I'm glad you found your bag! I've seen that leather and it's gorgeous, right? I appreciate the update. Well okay, so that means that the mini still exists in Paris here and there, but the medium is all sold out according to a fashion advisor and their customer service line. Juuust in case you happen to spot or hear of one somewhere, could you please let me know? Thanks so much.

I think medium “so black” released were limited quantities that’s why it’s harder to find, but don’t loose hope I’m sure chanel will re release it again!
