Hello, I would then choose Barcelona (has the higher vat return, fantastic city). Or Venice (great city, had a wonderful time there getting my first Chanel). Milan is a great city, good chabel (did not get anything in that one, it was at the boy shortage time and I was looking for a boy) also if you go you have to eat at ristorante risoelatte (fantastic food, family owned new menu ever night as they get produce fresh every day). But I did not ever get my vat back from Italy. Spain, France, england came back fast n no issues.

How much was the VAT refund from Barcelona?

I might be going to Italy and stop at Rome first for a wedding in May. I would probably feel to get my hands off n a black mini caviar GHW. If you wonderful ladies have any advice, I would greatly appreciate. Happy New Year!

Thank you for sharing this info with us!!Great that you could score a piece from your wish list :)

Im sorry not to offend anyone but why should I prove that I have payed my my dues with less rare pieces, which probably the SAs even can't afford
Im astonished why we as paying customers who can afford these items have to prove that we are worth*to be able to spend money to people who work there and who probably not even can afford some of the items. With this many competition it should be the brand who should try to convince us to buy with its amazing quality, design, customer service and history and not the other way round which makes me feel I as customer have to beg bring my money there.......

Just my 2 cents .....didn't want to offend anyone and I am always glad if fellow ladies from here can win the stupid games some SAs or brands are playing and can score their pieces

What makes you so sure the SA(s) can't afford? [emoji848] just because they work in retail?

Hello: I am traveling to Rome & Venice in a few months and was wondering which Chanel store to go to? Should I purchase at Fiumicino airport so I don't need to do a VAT refund? I am interested in a m/l flap bag (any color besides black/red/blue grey as I have Chanel flaps in those colors already).
Many thanks!

Trying my luck again. Can someone please advise if it's better to buy Chanel at Rome Fiumicino airport or at the Rome or Venice stores? What is the easiest way to get the VAT refund? Thank you.

Hi,
I think in general the tax refund is not very complicated in the stores compared to the airport and the stores in Rome and Venice will probably have a better selection. Also there are now two Chanel stores in Venice and the sales associates are very friendly and helpful.

I am not sure which store has the best selection but you can maybe try to call them and ask in advance. Sometimes the timing you visit the store (during launch of new collection) is probably more important in my opinion.

Hello Fellow Chanel Lovers!
I will be traveling to Italy (Venice, Milan, Florence, and Rome) in May and i really want to buy a WOC in black caviar and SHW. I hear that this is pretty hard to find, do any of you know whether and how i may get on the waitlist so that i can pick one up while I'm there? I've tried emailing Chanel but haven't received anything back. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!!

Hi!

I'm not sure there is a waitlist in Europe like in the USA. Usually you walk in the stores and see what they have, with th exception if you know a particular SA very well then they can tell you when they will receive the new collection and if they do have the item you want they might hold it for you just a few days. But in general I think it depends very much when you are in the stores (around launch time would be the best).

Just my 2 cents [emoji4]
