Hello there, may I know where can you find this bad? Does your SA do oversea shipments, I have been looking for this combination since August but unfortunately Hong Kong doesn’t have much stock and I get no luck☹️So sad, I have missed the 19A and I personally prefer the 19K aged GH. Hope there will be one coming
I have waitlisted the 19K on 3 places in the US and only one of them came through. The other 2 didn't call me. I would suggest calling the 800 chanel numbers and ask them to locate one near you. If all failed, try resellers, I've seen some 19A brand new for sales at or close to retail price. Check fashionphile. com or Ann's fabulous.
Does anyone know if they make black, chevron reissues with ruthenium hardware? I feel like I’ve only seen it with gold or so black.
Went into the boutique today to ask for a mini rectangle and see if it was possible to be signed on a waiting list. Then suddenly the SA took out a reissue WOC black on black / so black and I got carried away and bought it...! The SA went on and on about how difficult it was to find them in all black and that this was the only one they had and so on. I just didn't want to let i go and found myself buying even if I really can not afford this at the moment. Now I want to hear what you all think of this style / this WOC? I do not have any WOC yet and had planned to buy a classic WOC later on but now I find myself with this. Is it really that sought after even though it is "just a WOC"? Do you think that this item will hold it's value / resale well if I change my mind? Would you stick with this or return it...? Hit me!

Hi there! I think it is a stunning WOC, but what matters is what YOU think. You went in looking for a. mini which has more capacity to hold things. How much do you need to put in a bag? Will this hold the items you need it to? The So black is highly sought after, but none of that means anything if it doesn't suit your needs or your budget at the moment. It looks wonderful on you, but be sure it will function for you and remember, no bag is worth going in to debt for. Good luck deciding! Please let us know what you decide!
Thank you for your comment!
You are so right, it really comes down to if it suits my needs. I actually think it does. I wanted a small bag that can be worn both for casual things and dressed up occasions - and I feel that this is possible with this WOC. I feel it holds a bit more than I thought and I think that it will suit me well with a smaller bag for those occasions where you only want to bring a few things and where the important thing is that you do not have a "large bulky bag getting in the way". So I am quite sure that I will find it versatile and useful if I keep it
You are right about no bag is worth going in to debt for however... I have been thinking about this part and I might be able to find a solution... I will sleep on it, have another look at it tomorrow in daylight and we will see what happens.
After buying the reissue WOC I really find myself falling in love with the reissue design and look. Thinking that my next bag might also be a reissue... I would love the mini / 22 4 in black with the aged gold but I do understand that it is not easy to get one... However I am on a shopping ban at the moment so I can wait I need to save up first. But the question is if I should try to find a mini / 224 or the small / 225? I think I would want both of them to be in black distressed calf with the aged gold hardware (if possible!).
I would very much like the possibility of wearing the next purchase for a bit more formal occasions and therefore I consider the mini (maybe it looks more elegant if it is smaller - or what do you guys think?). There is also the pricing to consider... the mini is less expensive than the small. However, since I already bought a WOC in the reissue I am thinking that I might be better off with the small to make sure that there is a bit more difference in sizing between the two...? I know that the WOC is "something else" and that there would also be a difference in the look between a so black WOC and a mini (or small) with gold hardware but I do not know if this difference will be enough to argue for the mini instead of the small.
My fear about the small is that it might be a more "every day" bag compared to the mini... what do you guys think of this? Do you wear your 225 / small reissues for more formal occasions like weddings or similar occasions when you wear a dress? Or do you find that this size only suits casual / every day looks? I am thinking that the gold hardware makes it more elegant and evening looking that the ones with ruthenium but I am unsercure about the size and if the 225 will look to big for more formal use? However the 225 would differ the most from my WOC... And I do think that the WOC might also be used for some formal occasions if I shorten the strap and/or carry it more like a clutch... But the 225 will of course be more expensive so there has to be a reason to get this instead of the 224 (a part from being able to fit more in to it of course).
Any thoughts out there? Thank you very much in advance

I think the small is an excellent size. I have both small and mini. I find the small versatile for casual or more casual weddings or events. If you went to a super black tie event or wedding, a clutch is probably the right answer anyway. I vote for the small!
Went to the boutique and tried the two sizes on. They did (of course ) not have the colour combo that I wish for. But at least I could try the two sizes on. The light colour I also liked actually. But anyway I am not buying at the moment, need to save up first. Just researching so I can get completely clear on what to wish for -
I took a coupe of pictures of both the mini and the small, posting them here.

I recently became part of the "chanel reissue" club and I can honestly say I'm very happy with my bag! (Luckily I got it before the price increase hit).
The only thing I am not a fan of, is I get the feeling this bag has to be babied because it can become easily scratched on the locking parts of the leather, since that's not distressed. Anyone else have this feeling?
