So I’m a first time Chanel customer, and I went into the boutique to ask about the new caramel caviar bag coming out and if I could put my name down. The SA told me to send her a picture of the bag which I did and that it would be a first come first serve basis but I am the first one who has asked her about the bag, and I just messaged her yesterday with better pictures, however she still have yet to respond to both the messages. What is the likelyhood of me purchasing the bag? Should I go to another boutique and get in contact with another SA in hopes of having a higher chance of getting the bag? I have never purchased anything from Chanel before, so I do not know the chances of a first time customer being able to purchase a would be highly sought after bag.
Please see attached for the pics I sent her. The pic of the YouTube video was the one I sent her in the boutique which she received. The other one is the one I sent her two days ago.
I think if you’re the first person to have asked her about the bag then she should put your name down. It’s up to you if you want to try another boutique. It really is first come first serve. I think some boutiques should be able to order by now too? I just asked my SA at the closest boutique to me to put me on the list. I was told they were going to receive 2 shipments of this cf and they’re already allocated for. Dunno how long ago people started reserving but oh well :angel:
 
I’ve contacted two SA’s from standalone boutiques and both have told me management informed them that reserves will no longer be available starting 21a. I’ve asked whether it would be more difficult for me to get a bag since I don’t have a boutique near me and have only ordered by phone, but my SA assured me it will be fair regardless if I can shop in store or not.... as info, I’m in the US.

My SA however did inform me that I should still let her know what I’m interested in, so she can keep an eye out for me...

So anyway, *how* are people getting on reserve lists for 21a? :oh: Is there something I’m missing?

The SA told me there is no waitlist for the upcoming collections and it is a first come first serve basis... but I feel like that sounds like a waitlist??? No?

what do they mean no waitlist? So weird either all texting SAs at 10Am launch day or waiting on line to get into the store first?
 
To those that already paid for their classic flaps for this collection—-were you charged the current price?
I reserved and paid in full for my CCH. It’s the current price. But there will be a price increase for 21A CCH and my sa said she’d charge me the difference with the new price when the bag comes in. But I don’t know abt cf
 
If history is any predictor, there’s usually an annual increase in November each year with the launch of cruise collection. But things have been completely unpredictable, so it’s really hard to know when/if the prices may go up!

I really hope there’s no increase on the 21A classic flaps! When I reserved my flap bag back in January, my SA said the price was $6800 according to their buy list. I hope that means the price is locked. :shocked:
Price is never locked with Pre orders. If there is an increase after you paid for the item in advance, you pay the excess when the item becomes available.
