Omg same! I never looked at Chanel in the past cos I felt they were too ladylike for me at my age so when I first saw the boy, I was in love! I waited a few years before jumping the gun because I wanted to make sure it wasn’t gonna be a trend bag that will be discontinued quickly. It was my first bag so I was extra cautious on what I was buying.

Quite honestly, even the small Chanel 19 is a tad big for me (I’m 153cm/39.5kg):View attachment 5164025

But man, can you fit a truckload of stuff! Most of the Chanel bags I have probably fits like a wallet, my phone, keys and a small powerbank at most (business affinity, med boy, small CF, trendy CC, Med Vanity) and the smaller ones fit a card holder, keys and powerbank only (21A adjustable chains, mini CF, small Coco Handle). This one can fit whatever my boy fits plus my hubby’s wallet and phone too (both of us use iPhone 12 pro max). I always bring this when I need to fit a little more and it has been so handy for causal/dress down days. I didn’t like the C19 at first too but it grew on me after I started running out of the classics to buy :P Chanel is a trap where you start getting classics and run out of them, then more bags start looking nice over time :biggrin: however, after using it like 3-4 times casually, I do realize lambskin is not that uppity if we are careful (as in don’t lean on things or whatnot).
Chanel 19 is lovely and heard it can put lots of stuffs for the smallest size! Did you get one and may I know how much does it cost now?
 
Heard that SA will usually rotate their bags to their vips. Like for eg. If I want a classic medium caviar ghw, this time she give me, nx time she won't give me again. Will give others a chance.

How true to our vips here? Or every season u will get what you want?
Not too sure about this but my SA got me 3 cch in 3 months (small black, medium navy and small beige) when I asked for it.
 
Maybe u her vvip. Haha. I also nt sure. I want purse peace soon. They keep on increasing prices!
Wow, you must be vVIP. My SA straight out told me, small beige classic caviar is impossible.
I wish I am a vvip but I don't think so. I never asked her for specific colours, I just tell her if there's any in stock, can she let me know. Then like 2 weeks later she msged me.
 
Hello fellow singapore Chanel fans, I am new to this forum and also new to buying Chanel. Only started this indulgence last year with shoes first although I did buy on occasions when I travel, but never stepped Into a local Chanel boutique due to the incessant long queues till COVID 19. Managed to walk in 1 afternoon with no queue and Bam! Found a nice SA and have been hounding her since. but like many of you, I don’t make it to VIC or VVIP tier whatever they term it.
their RTW prices can be too far fetched especially for items that look similar to High Street Brand’s. Their jackets and tweeds are beautiful but at jaw dropping $10k.. I haven’t found the courage....
so anyway, here’s a little intro. I look forward to contributing and interacting with many of you here.
Hi! Welcome to the forum! So glad you found yourself a nice SA! really helps with the shopping experience.

I was the same as you too, I started my journey early but only bought overseas during vacation or work trip. Just started purchasing locally from Dec last year. I think I'm reaching purse peace soon cos I'm very old school and not into their trendy sought after designs.
 
I’m reaching purse peace very soon too. Honestly, it’s getting out of hand :-s Only one more top handle mini that I’m waiting for from 21K which I missed from my SA last month because I was too busy with work and didn’t check my phone :sad: I did ask for a rec pearl crush too after I got the square one but since I already have the mini CF, I can live with not getting it. Considered the mini reissue too but I felt like I kinda am buying for the sake of buying and hoping one day I will grow to like it if I get it and at that point, I will be glad I saved money getting it early. Kept looking at it time and time again but just don’t feel a connection with it so I will skip it. Once borders open, I foresee myself traveling a lot and the bag purchases will stop. Can’t wait to use all these bags sitting around with no place to go because of the pandemic!
 
Initally I wasnt sure if im going to keep it after I last saw it at another boutique overseas. I recalled the leather was way too soft and the bag shape was a little weird as the side was popped out.
However when I went to pick up the bag and feel it all over again. WOW!!!! I was blown away and fell in love :love::love: The leather felt much thicker and the shape was perfect. I told my SA about my previous encounter and she mentioned that the piece I had was probably stuffed too much that the side popped out.
Sooooo in the end… im definitely going to keep it!!!! :yahoo::yahoo::yahoo: Now i feel like having another pearl crush in a different colour.:graucho::graucho:

Now i just need to order a bag insert from Samorga and im ready to use this baby!

I still want a burgundy or dark grey caviar cf in medium size but I'm always thinking twice if I'm ready to justify. I would readily splurge if I don't have any cf but the fact that I have 2 which I paid almost half the price (years back), it's just so hard. Lols. I miss those times I was able to travel and enjoyed tax refund haha!

Don't have as in no more stock or MBS store don't bring in?

Based on my experience if no stock in store but another store have, your SA can do a transfer for that available piece. But of cos I had to pay first for it first.
