Hi all, I haven’t been in store since pre covid. In the Chanel SF, Do you need an appt to shop? Is there usually a line to shop as walk in?
No appointment is needed now. There's sometimes a line on the weekend but not much on the weekday. If you don't have a regular SA, the greeter will assign you an SA to shop with once you enter.

The new Chanel at Nordys valley fair had a drape infront of it instead of boards. Seems like the March 2023 date might happen.
Yay! Thanks for the update. And FYI, there’s a thread for it here. :biggrin:

 
Hi there,

Does anyone has a similar experience / observations as me? I shop at SF store.

I’m into RTW, I noticed collections arrived later than the official Chanel website suggested.

I had occasionally ‘pre-order’ items, a lot of the time I didn’t get them either I was too far back on the list or I have been told by my SA that the store didn’t get the allocations.

I travel to Europe quite regularly and sometimes will see other items of the collections. I noticed this time that a London boutique is still showing a jacket that is in Pre-fall 2022!

Is Chanel struggle to produce enough items? Or their policy changed to create a EVEN more exclusive brand? I feel sometimes it is harder to get things at Chanel than getting a quota bags at Hermes!

Hello P,
I shop at a nearby boutique, not the SF Chanel boutique. However, I notice it has been getting harder to have RTW reserved since about 1 - 1.5 years ago. I have the same experience as you. When I pre-order RTW, I occasionally get the items but not always.
I was traveling overseas lately, and have been purchasing other Chanel RTWs that I like from those Chanel boutiques directly.
I also visited one Las Vegas boutique and put down my name for a Chanel jacket which my boutique claimed they didn't order and would have to transfer from other boutiques...:doh:

Do you have any recommendations about the current situations? Would you consider it an issue if we shop at different Chanel boutiques going forward? (Actually I used to shop at several different Chanel boutiques years ago, only for items that I was interested in...But post-COVID, I started to shop only from that one nearby boutique, and because of that boutique/SA loyalty thing with Hermes, I have been somehow calibrated to feel guilty about purchasing Chanel RTWs from different boutiques...I dunno what is the right way to handle such situations now..:doh::confused1: )
