Chanel Pre-Fall 2013!

What is washed caviar? Does anyone know if it holds up well? Why can't Chanel just make the original caviar in classics ???

I recently almost bought a clutch in washed caviar. I don't know if it'll be the same, but I loved it in the clutch. It was smoother and lovely. But I don't know how it holds up. The black bag behind the red in the pic was the washed caviarImageUploadedByPurseForum1364500288.053192.jpg
 
Will do! She did say that it wouldn't be in stores until May or later, so we have about a month to speculate. :biggrin:

I actually got the intel on this lovely little bag today and I'm first on the list! It's coming in 2 or 3 colors, but my boutique is only getting two, and one is the color I wanted, burgundy! I'm so happy!!! He didn't know how to pronounce the name, and I didn't write it down, so in the long day of shopping, I've forgotten it, but do have your Chanel boutique SA look it up for you. They are expecting them to come in June-August time frame. :yahoo:

Thank you so much for this info!!:hugs: I will call my SA this weekend to make sure I'm on the list. That's great that the colour you wanted is coming to your store! I hope it's just as amazing as it looks tutushopper!

You are so very welcome! It's a good price, too, for a special little limited bag. I hope you get the one you want! What color are you looking for? Do call your SA this weekend, as nobody had even asked about this yet! I was the first one to ask him, and it's not on any list I've seen. I just like quirky little bags, so I'm excited! :smile:

I do like the burgundy colour as it really looks nice with the darker coloured hardware and perfect I think for fall. I'm just not sure what my store has ordered, if any, so I will definitely be making the call tomorrow! :biggrin:

My wallet is safe from Fall but not so safe from Spring 2013 lol

LOL I agree! Spring has been too good to pass up. :biggrin:

Yes, very comparable. I don't want that color either :sad:.

Ahh that's too bad. I guess we always have next season!
 
Hi, if it helps... Here is a sample picture of the dark red :smile:View attachment 2120510
:ty:looks good :yes:!!! I'm hunting for a classic flap (medium size) in red, so I think I'll have a look when it's available in the Chanel Stores -> hopefully, it will be available in Germany, too :yes: but of course, most important is this: Hopefully, this colour will be available for the classic flaps anyway... :nuts:

PS: what kind of bag is this one in the picture? Looks like a classic flap, but it has a different chain?

This red looks really good, and since I saw this:

Timeless Classic


$4400- medium in washed caviar with silver hw in dark red, in python with ruth hw in charcoal grey

on the list ladybelle published, I hope that this means the medium classic flap will be available in this colour... at least I hope with Timeless Classic is the classic flap meant...
