Chanel Fall/Winter Act 1 2021 (21B)

[ilovelions8]

Excuse my terrible looking nails and polish. But I couldn’t resist taking a photo of my new little card holder! The lambskin feels so soft and nice..how can I bear to use it?!

I tend to obsess over these things, but for some reason (probably because the bag is squishy/creasy and the hardware is aged on day one) I may be able to overlook this time. Really happy I went for the lighter grey!

Oh same here lol. I get very obsessed with the condition of the bags, particularly given the price we are paying for them. Normally I would probably return it given the indentation, but I’m trying to convince myself that I should not be bothered so much about it since I may not find another one

Now you hafta share pictures of your indentations!
Btw, do you feel this bag would be more delicate than other 19s? This is my first 19, so not sure how much to baby (I'm generally pretty careful, and this won't be a daily bag).

So excited to get my first mini square. The quilts are so puffy. Thanks for letting me share!

Debating to let my iridescent white one go (my picture) and get the 21B (not my picture) instead.
What do you think?
Haven’t used the iridescent yet.

does this season have any mini square flaps besides the pearl crush ones?

I think it will be more pink in real life because the lighting doesn’t do the dark pink justice. I just received my Pearl Crush WOC in dark pink and its more pink than caramel in real life.

Thanks! Yes, definitely more pink which I prefer. I picked her up last week! Congrats on your WOC

Depends on how you want to use it/how much you think you'll use each one. I think in terms of looks, the iridescent one definitely wins. It's really special. But probably less versatile than the 21B CF. Chanel does white/cream a lot so if you're not certain (and can withstand another price increase or two), I'd say wait it out and see if you end up using the iridescent one more.

I’ll take some pics later. This leather is definitely much softer than my other 19. Maybe because this one is lambskin, and if I remember correctly my black 19 is goatskin. I don’t baby my black 19 much and I use it quite often, but I do think I need to be more careful using this one since the leather feels more delicate, plus this is a lighter color.

I believe so but probably just very limited. There’s a so black mini square floating around at least.

100% agree with this. I have the ivory iridescent mini, and have only used it once. But I haven't thought of letting it go because of all of the above.

I asked the SA, and he has another bag, but it's more creasy in the front. There's no winning

I was torn as well, but ended up returning the iridescent white and kept my 20b white caviar. Iridescent white is pretty to look at but it doesn’t look right against actual clothes imo. Cant go wrong with a crisp white caviar flap!

The “normal” mini square colors availability (SHW) should be the same as the mini rec. per swatch below (ref from earlier post on this thread) plus the so black.
