Congrats, so excited for you it’s beautiful!! Thank you for the update- out of curiosity did you see any minis with top handles available? Also- did you see any blacks available? Ahhh can’t wait to go in 2 weeks here (fingers crossed they’ll still have stock)!
Goodluck! I am hopeful for you, yes I think printemps had the ones with top handles. No blacks thought apparently those are unicorns but you never know, you may walk in a store and they have one.
 
Just got back from Paris! and I have an update for mini rectangulars. First, I booked an appt a 19 Rue Cambon for 10:00 am (opening) and 31 Rue Cambon at 11:30 am. Believe it or not, I found minis at my first appt (19 Rue Cambon). I was shocked because I had prepared myself to go to every shop, had an appt for every single one too lol. So they had a pink mini rec ghw, yellow ghw (I think, see photo) , and greeny blue, I'd say turquoise color champagne hardware.

I called printemps cause I had an appt there right after and they have a bunch of color as well, I can't remember exactly but they had good stock. I also went to 51 montaigne store they had a grey.

My advice is start with the rue cambon stores, go early, book appts & call around while your there if they have stock specifically the department stores to see what your options are before you purchase and just be 100% sure. Hopefully stock is good when you guys go.

I ended up going with the turquoise. Goodluck!!!
Thanks for sharing! Do you know the price of these minis and the ones with top handle? And do you also know if we have tax return as turists? TIA

3800 eur to the regular mini flap and 4100 for the top handle version. These prices can be found on the Chanel website, and I was eligible for VAT refund because I am Canadian, I just had to show my passport.
 
Congratulations!!!! Please tell us more about your trip, next time I'm definitely gonna try harder to find black, I would have loved the top handle!! How was stock overall though? any others colors you were debating between.

I was only there for half a day, the bon marche was my first appointment and I didn’t think I would be lucky to get a black mini. Originally I wanted the regular mini rec but since they have a black mini handle, I couldn’t pass (this is my first Chanel bag)

They do have the greenish blue Turquoise you mentioned and a Silver metallic one..and I think I saw a pink/peach one..I didn’t get to drop by the other boutiques, maybe next time when the next season is out :smile:

That's amazing for your first Chanel, I am happy we were able to help each other out! My next Paris trip I will check out/call the department stores first, I noticed that they actually have pretty good stock. Definitely want a black one!
Congrats again!

Thank you!! Can’t wait to wear it! I’m glad we both got a mini! And I think @DesignerxGirl will get one too! Paris has decent stock.
 
I booked three weeks in advance through the website. Alot of SA's reached out via text/whatsapp to ask me what I was looking for a week before my trip.
Would you mind sharing exactly how/where on the site you booked your paris appt? I can’t seem to figure this out!
Edit- never mind I figured it out!!!!
