Just to share I was offered this beauty today after a few choices I wanted having NO STOCK. I am so glad she brought me at the back to view this bag and I immediately accept it!

Haha is the dark pink as SA told me black is close to impossible to get at the moment. FYI I was put under the waitlist for black for both outlets but in vain.

Hello, just wondering how hard is it to get a black classic mini rectangle in Singapore? I’m visiting Singapore next month and thinking of visiting Chanel boutiques to try my luck. Do they only give the bag to VVIP clients in Singapore or tourist can also get one? Thanks in advance.

Hello Ladies,

I’m visiting Singapore next month and planning to go to both Chanel Boutique in Taka and MBS. I have few questions in regards to Chanel in Singapore as I come from overseas. Anybody can help answering my queries, I really appreciate it. Thank you so much in advance.

1. How difficult is it to get a black classic mini rectangle in Singapore? Do the SAs only give it to their local VVIP clients or a walk-in tourist can also possible to get it?
2. Is it very difficult to get black bags in Singapore generally?
3. Which store has better inventory and service? Taka or MBS?
4. In terms of new collection arrival, how quick do the Singapore boutiques receive them? Is it similar or shortly after the arrival in European stores?
5. Does anybody know which days are usually the better days to visit the boutiques? I mean the days when the regular shipments of new stocks arrive and fewer customers in the boutique?
6. For tax refund in Chanel Singapore, do they deduct the GST straight in the stores or I have to claim it in Changi before departure?

Thank you so much Ladies.

First of all, I would like to warmly welcome you to our little sunny island and hope you'll enjoy your visit here! I saw that your questions haven't been answered. I'm a local so I'll share my experience as someone who isn't a VIP but have been shopping with my current SA frequently for the past 3 years.

1. Extremely difficult and depends on your luck. As what I know, it's usually will be offered to VVIP. It's not only black, other seasonal colours of the classic minis are close to impossible to get. Non-black seasonal minis, e.g. top handle, may be easier to get.

2. My SA constantly asked if I'm interested to add a medium cf (caviar + shw/ghw), 19 or boy bags in black (the only black bags I have are jumbo caviar/ghw cf and medium coco handle). But whenever I visit my SA at MBS, I always hear other SA telling clients no stock when they asked for black cf. For seasonal black bags, generally easier to get.

3. Inventory-wise, my SA said Taka receives more stocks than MBS. A few of the bags I got, those were transferred from Taka to my SA at MBS. Service-wise, I prefer MBS.

4. Singapore is usually about 2 weeks behind. Most of the time, bags are for display only during launch day/week.

5. Unpredictable, the boutique get their stocks in very small batches frequently. But sharing with you what my SA advice me if I want to try my luck getting the item she couldn't get me - visit the boutique at opening time.

6. Being a local, I honestly not sure about this. Sorry!

Well, I hope it helps!

I'm sorry to hear this.

This is based on my own experience. It actually takes time for you to get conditioned to the weight of a bigger bag. I used to have shoulder aches when I carried my GST and jumbo cf during my early days of starting a Chanel collection. It took me about a year or so. I still have those bags in my collection and are frequently included in my rotation. 8 years on, I can hardly feel the weight, thus decided to add 2 medium-sized coco handles since 2021. And I think because my shoulders are too used to bigger/heavier bags, I find my medium cf/boy and a few classic minis I have, to be almost weightless when I carry them. Haha!

My son and I were sick through our new year and in hospital. Finally had time to swing by taka to collect my online purchases that had been left in store for over two weeks. Kind of embarrassing . Had to tell my SA I am too sick and in hospital to come collect it and nobody is home for delivery :shocked:

Hi girls, was wondering if you’re familiar with Chanel dropping their price for the Pearl crush series. I’ve bought a Pearl crush camera bag in April 2022 for $6410, and later on learnt from a friend that she bought the exact same model at $5870 in Jan 2023. Anyone is aware of this price drop in just 9 months?
I’ve attached both invoices to show that it is indeed the same model, just from a different season
