Haha I have no idea. I do know that it includes flowers, I will see it tomorrow :smile:
Can you drop me a pm if you want the figures?

Happy birthday!! :yahoo:

Actually I'm the exact flip side, I got a taobao one and the quality is just rougher, and I'm also worried of colour transfer and potential melting of the felt (horror story I read somewhere). So I thought, since I have already spent on the bag, I should just continue to get it well protected and not risk saving the price difference. But yes they are so expensive and I'm glad the taobao one has worked out well for you!

Thank you :biggrin:
Oh wow, I never heard of this “melting” of felt! I better go read up more on this then, thanks for the information!
 
Oh wow, so many people buy from Samorga. I actually buy all my bag inserts from Taobao :P Hubby says I can spend thousands on bags but draw the line when it comes to overpriced bag inserts :biggrin: But hey, if I already spent thousands on bags, I need to save every cent I can now! They look the same to me anyway, also felt insert and it's like 1/2 the price before shipping. No discolouration observed too, fingers crossed it stays this way :biggrin:

About the spending, I did a calculation on my spending last year and this year (very reluctantly because I know it's a crazy sum this year but hey, COVID has been rough without international travels) and pretty sure my tier last year was just normal and this year has been upgraded (given that I received the perfume before factory 5 launch and also I am getting a delivery from Chanel for my birthday tomorrow... again don't quote me on this, I can't be 100% sure :sad:). Not sure if they count from start of year for your spending or 1 year from the date but man, was I shocked :doh: the figure was more than double of what I spent last year and even last year alone was not a small figure to me. If anyone is interested about the figure can drop me a PM for rough numbers.

However, I have to say my SA has been incredible and with me throughout the journey of giving me popular bags as I slowly build my profile up so having a good SA relationship is really the most important thing as he got me bags like mini rectangle even before my tier has been supposedly upgraded. I do reciprocate by buying things I see myself using too like shoes and accessories. I have always genuinely loved them, just never felt the worth as they are so expensive (if you think about it, a belt is 1/3 or even 1/2 the price of a bag and I had always perceived the value I get from bag to be higher) but since he has been helpful, I started splurging a bit. I do not regret it though as I use these very often and has since thrown or given away my older accessories or shoes that hasn't been in use anymore and I find myself being more disciplined and do not make frequent random purchases too. I used to buy something and just never use them because they were "cheap enough" and then when I realized I fell out of love before I even used them, I brush it off as "well not a big loss since it was not expensive and I can just give it away." When it comes to a 2k belt or earrings, I be damn sure I use it every chance I get and I can never just give it away so easily so if I think about it, I do get a lot of value out of it (actually might even be more than the bags itself as they are always on rotation but I only have that 2 or 3 belts and shoes :biggrin: ) If anyone is interested to build their profile, I can share how I did it slowly - most important thing I believe is making sure your SA remembers you and that you always come back for more, even if not for big ticket items :biggrin:
Happy advance birthday!!

can I check which shop did you get the insert from taobao? Maybe I can check it out as well!
 
That’s so rude of her! Most likely thinking that you are a first time buyer of Chanel and couldnt be bothered to entertain you. Normally I will just make a mental note to never work with this SA or even give him/her the tiniest purchase.



Yes agree, good Chanel SAs are really hard to come by. I’ve met a fair share of “cold” with replies SAs and judgemental ones too esp this guy SA who is in charge of watches and fine jewelry etc from MBS. He immediately kept the J12 and mentioned that they cost 10k when we enquired about the price, and giving us a look over. Maybe me and my hubby look young for our age or smth idk and my hubs was like “isn’t he just a SA working for Chanel, why does he behave like he owns Chanel?” :confused1:
Precisely! Your husband is correct.

I always say these rude staffs feel like they are on top of customers. Sorry but to be rude, they are just another high class sales person.
 
I wonder why the need for some of these SAs to be rude and snobbish?

Precisely! Your husband is correct.

I think some of them just have some sort of ego and feel good factor while working there. Haha. Oh wells, there are still nice SAs but probably just have to try multiple times till we can find the right one :smile:

Happy birthday to you! :yahoo: Must be super excited awaiting for your present :graucho:

Actually I did bought from both Taobao and samorga too.
To be honest, the quality and fit is very different. Yes Taobao one is much cheaper but hence the quality and fit, whereas samorga one fit perfectly. Me too, thinking since already spend so much on bag and hence, willing to pay abit more to get my bag well protected.
Anyway happy that Taobao one works well for you :biggrin:
 
Happy advance birthday!!

can I check which shop did you get the insert from taobao? Maybe I can check it out as well!

let me go dig it out and drop you a pm again :)

Do share with us a picture of your gift when you receive it! Curious as to what it might be hehe :biggrin:

Haha, maybe it’s just flowers only :P I will share tomorrow!

Wow it sounds like I should give samorga a try. You are right, some of the fit is not that great but some fits perfectly. Maybe I will drop some coin on a samorga one for the ill fitting ones to see the difference and become a convert! Thanks for the insight!

I know! I find it pretty ridiculous… they gauge a customer’s spending potential base on their own judgments :whut: maybe the Chanel uniform casted this snobbish magic spell on a few of them, possessed with arrogance:giggle:LOL

At the same time I’m sooo glad and thankful that I found my lovely SA. I wore slippers when I first met her, and ever since 2019 I’ve been buying chanel
With her. So I think it’s just people? Nothing to do with age or anything. Clearly not so bright to judge people base on the outfit and age.
