Older sister, little sister. 10 years apart :blush: I finally feel like my collection is complete, at least for now. I really wanted to add a C19 to my closet but picked my first Chanel love, reimagined instead. I haven't seen too much talk about this seasonal boy bag, but I for one, love the new shape! It rounds out my collection perfectly, pun intended! This is the medium size, which isn't listed on the website.

how much was the bag on the right? Saw it at my duty free boutique the other day from afar but might want to take another look at it
 
Is it just me or are small classic flaps almost non existent? I’ve been trying to get a small for about a month now and have been flexible on color as well, but of the 3 Chanel’s I have in driving distance near me, they seem to have a decent variety of mediums and Jumbos but not a single small of any color. Do they just disappear that quickly to the VIP clients?
Maybe try a department store? The small is the most aesthetically beautiful!

The dark beige this season is so beautiful. The caviar leather is really good and the smell of the leather is sublime! My other classics never smelled like this before!

The dark beige does change with the light. I would say it is closer to a taupe color irl than “beige”. Here are some comparison photos.
1st Photo - From left to right:
21S dark beige (not iridescent), 22 dark beige, etoupe Kelly dog bracelet, beige De Weimar. Lighting is fluorescent light inside the house.
2nd Photo:
21S and 22A in shaded light outside
3rd Photo:
21S and 22A next to a window inside

I hope this helps someone who is thinking of purchasing this color. I think it’s stunning and the perfect shade of taupe.

i also just bought the 22a dark beige CF today at duty free and will pick it up when I leave the country. I’m so excited! I was stunned that it was in stock and honestly the color is MUCH PRETTIER in person than in pictures. I personally prefer it over the beige Claire as I feel it is more versatile and can be both casual and dressy. If you are in doubt or have a beige claire and wanting both you need to get the 22a dark beige cf if you can get your hands on it!! It’s definitely a winner in terms of the perfect beige/taupe color!!

ps.I bought this overseas at a duty free as I’m traveling and they didn’t ask for my customer information so I only received a printed receipt. Can I phone in my information somewhere to have this purchase logged into my account?

I texted all my SAs after seeing your raving reviews and photos. Two of the three boutiques in my area claimed they were all sold out, the other one magically had a medium one left, so I rushed in to see if I could get onboard with the size. Alas my heart was set on a small. As I was walking from NM back to the car, I thought I would pop by the stand alone boutique across the street. Lo and behold - they just got a small one in today. Long story short, I had to get it :biggrin: The leather is so shiny and soft! And the shade is so yummy, giving me chai tea latte vibes :P

Congratulations on the bag! It's such a stunning color! I'm so glad the photos helped with your decision. Enjoy your beauty! It's definitely my new favorite classic flap....dare I say I love it more than the 21P caramel classic flap I have. :biggrin::biggrin:

Congrats! Which city/country was this? I have 3 boutiques in my area too so wondering if you are in the same area as I. I'm also looking for a small beige classic flap, but the 3 boutiques in my area have been sold out of it for the last 3 weeks so far.
