Let's wait for the jackets IRL I guess. In the olden days some of the Lesage jackets were priced at 10+k, so if the details present themselves they will be worth it...and otherwise just like GK said, we can stay put.
I'm optimistic for now (not so much on the SS2022 collection though).

They would like you to believe that. The question for me is how much resistance will there be? Is there that much money floating around that they can keep pushing up the price points? What they want for a flap bag is already unrealistic. Unless they are using great fabric, trim and buttons and tweak the style enough that it doesn't look like one of my vintage jackets, my credit card is staying in my wallet.

I agree - I’m already in the thought mode of how many years wear I’ll get out of anything I buy. Reassuring that I can always resell things in the future - as the prices are pretty Astro right now this is a great option!

Actually pink and black is a classic Coco Chanel combo. There is a picture of her someplace wearing a suit like that.

I like pink and black as long as the proportions are right and the shade of the pink works. I feel it adds some sophistication to the black and alternately adds some interest to the black. I've always associated it with a very dressy look ( although some may be reminded of liquorice allsort sweets :nuts:)

Actually, last year the sale selection was pretty dismal. There was hardly anything because the stock was so low. I asked my SA if availability will improve now that the economy is opening up and she says that's uncertain. Anyway, I've lost my invite to the Chanel private sale because my SA moved away to the west coast, so I guess I'll have to stalk TRR. Lol. I don't think I have the stamina to build a totally new relationship with a new SA after 10 years with the same SA. I'm still buying a lot of fine jewelry and exceptional pieces so I'm sure I'm maintaining my status in the eyes of Chanel HQ, however I haven't set foot in a Chanel boutique since she left.

Anyway, does anyone know how hard it would be to gain an invite to the private VIP sale? Could I just show up and buy a pair of sunglasses from a new SA? Lol. I feel a bit silly groveling in front of a new SA for an invite especially since I've known the manager of that boutique for longer than most of them have worked at Chanel. Maybe I should just content myself with my Hermes events and stalk TRR for chanel sale items.

Can you just ask the manager for an invite? Did they re-assign clients to new SA's after yours left?
