Hello all, I desperately need your advise please.

This will be my first Chanel bag. I love this bag in black but it's al sold out in Europe, only available in a dark grey color. I really love the design detials on this model and nothing at 21k catches my eyes.

Should I get the grey one? Even though it's not the most classic color black which seems to be the norm for a first Chanel?
Thank you!!!

The bag looks great on you :smile:
But it depends on your wardrobe. If dark grey does not match with your wardrobe and if you have too many doubts than I would not take it. Is it possible to get it transfered from Monaco or Switzerland or any other not EU country? If you live in a country in the European union than they might have checked it only in the countries which belong to the European union?

Thank you for the compliment :love:
I never had a grey bag, so will look at my wardrobe tonight and decide...hold only until tomorrow.
Actually I live in Switzerland, so I guess it's under the same transfer systems, I believe my SA didn't lie as I can see her phone screen that the black were reserved in EU during the weekend and by 1 working day later, SA said they were sold. :crybaby:

If you love it, then go for it! I find dark grey is a great substitute for black. I usually think of it as a ’soft black’. But if you think it’s hard to match with your style, then wait for the black. There will always be another black Chanel to love.

There will always be another black Chanel to love:heart:....only it will cost more ;)

The CC turn lock and chain is absolutely beautiful. I hope you can find the black on the resale market.
If black is your desire color, do not settle.

I saw the same design in gray too. It is great a design and colour combi in my opinion.

Anyway, do look at your wardrobe and see if gray goes with most of your clothing like what others had mention. I would said go for it if yes. Also, ask yourself, do you like the bag? Don't settle in gray if your answer to both are 'no'.
There are always other black by Chanel, just have to be patient. :smile:

Like to seek everyone's quick opinion on this 21B lambskin grey (shw) small cf.

I am actually waiting dark grey cf as I missed that 2 weeks ago. Sometimes, the stock might not come in again just like 21A. I just bought mini square in exact color last week. My SA just offered me this cf small in exact color, any advice? She knows I like grey a lot. I am actually hoping my next cf is a caviar.
1) is it silly of me to get the mini square and this cf in exact same color? Any idea if more grey will be out in 21K collection.
2) Is lambskin for such color okay or can withstand years of use for such light color? For my mini bag, so far only newly accquired mini square is this grey.
3) Many of my friends around me all prefer black cf.
Is it true if black can hold value better?

I am not sure if down the road and maybe few years later, I am not sure if I will sell it away t declutter.
Tough decision as I am heading over to see her later. Any quick advice is appreciated. I am scared of my impulsive purchase later and hard to say no to my SA.

I saw your grey mini square, it’s so adorable :heart: It depends on how much you love this particular shade of grey. I’m a sucker for grey, too. In fact, I’m waiting for a grey mini rec to be delivered this evening lol. I would get the CF in dark grey caviar for variety although the black CF will probably hold its value better. See how you feel about it when you see it? It is definitely beautiful. There will be another grey CF in 22C that looks more beigey-grey, also in lambskin but LGHW.

Here's a compilation of the Chanel 22C jewelry that has not been listed yet on this thread:

:blush: Thank you ! Yes the mini square in very adorable in that shade, that's why the thought of exchanging it to this CF yet to come to my mind as i still can do exchange and top up this purchase if I want. Congrats on scoring the mini rec in this color too, I am sure you will love it. Gray color always has a soft spot in my heart.

I yet to see anyone posting on their 21B purchase abt cf in this color too. Anyone has this color in cf too?

If you could exchange, that could work out really well. I’ve seen only very few pics of this grey in small CF floating around. It’s either extremely limited or simply not popular.. but who cares, as this grey is absolutely beautiful, no matter what size IMO. I was actually considering between the small CF and the mini. But crossbody is a must for me so I went with the mini. Good luck with your decision!

Hi everyone - this is my first time posting! I’m ready to make my first Chanel purchase and reached out to a SA in NY who my husband used to buy a J12 for me this year. I asked her to be put on a wait list for a black caviar wallet on chain or mini flap - She said the waitlisted for the mini flap is from 2018! But the WOC should arrive in the next few weeks. Does anyone know which WOC would arrive exactly? I’m just learning the ropes so would love some help or a link. Thank you
