And thank you for the rec! Is the white/black combo you’re talking about quilted? Their tweed cap toe ones in nearly all the colors combos are so pretty! how is one able to choose?!?!The white/black I was referring is the classic lambskin version. However, since you asked, the white/black combo also comes in quilted as a seasonal ballet. It pops up every few years. I love all Chanel ballet flats, but if I had to choose my first pair, I would get the classic beige/black lambskin combo. That shoes goes with everything and is super comfy.Thank you for the helpful info!! I’m so excited
I've had fabric/tweed ballets, and while they look nice in a photo or on display, to me, they look a bit odd on the foot. Kind of "fuzzy" if that makes sense as it is fabric. I also have had quilted ones, and while they are also nice, I feel they add a bit of unnecessary bulk to the look of the ballet when worn on the foot. Here are the three white ballets I currently have. The one on the left is a like an iridescent white, the center is the classic white/black lambskin, and the right is the quilted. You can also see the "white" shade differs a bit. The classic white/black is a true white white. The quilted is more a creamy white if you're splitting hairs which I do when it comes to white shades. Hope this helps.
Your description basically hit on all the things I think about!! It’s like you read my mind. That’s so good to know about the fuzziness and the bulk. My feet are slightly on the wider side and anything that adds or expands the look of the upper half of my feet is undesirable for me personally. I’m totally with you on starting with the classic flats first. Ill definitely take your advice and do that. && Loving the pic of your three white/black flats! Especially the two on the left! Thank you for all the details!!
Can’t wait to start my collection soon 
I'm new to the designer shoe world and I was wondering if Chanel still makes these mules with the pearl on the heel?!? If yes, does anyone have information on he colours and pricing of these mules? I have been in love with them and would love to pick them up when I next fly into the city that has the Chanel boutique

Hi! I saw this spring's version with the double pearl at Bergdorf's in June when I was there. I purchased the low heel pump version and posted a pic a few posts above (see June timeframe). If you are really interested in these, I would suggest contacting Bergdorf and asking a SA to send them to you. They won't be around forever and you may not like the new version of them (e.g. different heel, different pearl placement, etc). I really like this season's version with the two little double pearls.
By the way, I find high heeled mules really hard to walk in, but you may love it. If not, I recall there is a pump version abeit with a chunkier heel. Good luck to you!
Thank you for the response. I will drop a message to my SA at Bergdorf's but I from what i remember, they didn't have my usual size. I am likely going to Dubai at the end of the year (my family lives there) so I will check out the Chanel store there
What's odd is when I went to BG that day, I also strolled to Chanel down the street and they did not have it at all! I was quite surprised. As another though, BG and NM are owned by the same company, and it seems their buyers purchase the same merchandise. As Plan B, you can also contact a NM store to see if they have your size.
As you can guess, this is a popular style, the beige/black with pearl combo has been going strong for several years. I really like the double pearl this season. Good luck to you.
Checked in with BG and they said they don't have single one of those in stock. My SA also said it was unlikely to come back into stock soon as they're heading into Autumn/Winter....
Gonna keep hunting or check Dubai where I understand the stock is available year round
Ugh... bummer! Yea... head to Dubai and grab them! If you really want this season's double pearl, plan B... you can call Chanel customer service and let them know what shoe you want and size. They will search the Chanel boutiques in the US and let you know which store has it. An SA from that store will call you and ship them to you. I've done this three times, and it works like a charm! I've done it for the white slingbacks, beige slingbacks with a white capped toe (super hard to find!), and also for white espadrilles.Checked in with BG and they said they don't have single one of those in stock. My SA also said it was unlikely to come back into stock soon as they're heading into Autumn/Winter....

I had the style number so it was easy, and I would not hesitate to do it again in the future. Really really easy.
UPDATE: I want to note for the beige slingbacks with white capped toe, it was from a NM, so Chanel also has direct access to NM inventory (or they used to). Just FYI to clarify.
I have been waiting for MONTHS for the beige/black slingbacks. I went with solid black for my first pair and never imagined how hard it would be to get these. My Chanel SA as well as my Nordy's fine shoes SA are both telling me that there is no stock. Anyone else?
While these are classics and always around, tt might be the time of year as the fall/winter collection is arriving. I've had great luck at Saks, maybe give them a ring.
Another idea is to call Chanel customer service, tell them the style number, and they can check the U.S. to see if any Chanel boutique has them in stock. I would think though, your Chanel SA was kind enough to already do that for you, but you never know if there might be one around.
If not, grab them when cruise/spring collection pops back around in a few months.
You'll love the beige/black! Super comfy too! Congrats on your first slingbacks!
ladies, do we know when the stores will receive cruise shoes? A few pairs of booties look promising on the runway, but I haven't see any closeups yet. Curious if you ladies saw any pictures yet and when they will arrive. TIA.
I agree with the previous poster who recommended checking Saks. With the rumor of another price increase that could impact some footwear and your post about how they seem to be hard to come by, I finally decided to get them to cross them off my wishlist. I was able to ordered the beige/black slingbacks through an SA at Saks that I have worked with in the past. When speaking to her, I got the sense that stock may not be high. I’ve purchased/ordered all my Chanel shoes at Saks and have been very happy with the experience. They have always seemed to have what I wanted in stock. Now I’m crossing my fingers that I ordered the right size.
