Do you mean the 21S one (this is the 21P thread)? If 21S, I asked 1 SA and she said none of the UK boutiques have it. Not sure if this means none were ever bought for the UK or if they are just currently sold out.

I recently did the same. I knew I would regret if I missed out on this colour and shelled out an extra £700 for a mini flap. It was worth it to me even though I know it's crazy. It takes time to monitor each season for the latest colours and by the time a colour like this comes around again, the price will have increased by £700 anyway.
Hi! This is a very subjective question, and is very specific to each individual. For me, I like this bag very much, but I would never pay a premium for any luxury bag, because I would rather invest it than spend extra for a "want" not a "need.". Especially with Chanel's recent poor quality, it's just not worth it to me. BUT, that's just me. Best wishes on your decision!
Update on my Sweet Flap, which I ended up ordering. Wore her out for the first time this week, then I see this at night when I'm putting her away. I could not believe my eyes! For this much money (actually, for ANY amount of money), this should not have happened. I checked this bag thoroughly when I received it, and everything looked absolutely perfect. Chanel's recent quality is just so disappointing. Hoping my SA can do something about this, even though it's past the return/exchange period. 
I really liked this bag, too.

UGH. So annoying, but don't worry. It's an easy fix. They should do it for free since it's new.
Thanks @lallybelle
. I brought her in today, and you're right: complimentary (which, honestly, it should be: not to sound like a brat). FYI, and to anyone else out there who didn't know: I found out all bags released this year now have a 5 year warranty, which is news to me. I thought it was just 2 years. I wonder if it has anything to do with the overall decline in quality vs previous years.Has anyone found a pair of pumps in a shade that is a good match for 21p caramel? I know matching shoes to bag is unnecessary (and many may even say "uncool" 
) but I'm old school and enjoy a little matchy-matchy. Would be open to any style of shoe really but pumps are the most versatile for me. Thanks!

I LIVE for matchy-matchy - it is too deeply engrained in my soul to shake now!Has anyone found a pair of pumps in a shade that is a good match for 21p caramel? I know matching shoes to bag is unnecessary (and many may even say "uncool"
I am on the hunt for the perfect champagne gold shoes to match my 21P gold mini.
(and Old School ROCKS!

I agree I don't buy from resellers. I hope you get your bag. Chanel always comes out with lovely colors it may just take a year or two to get a specific color. Sometimes the next season is better so don't worry too much!I was just thinking this myself!! It's so unfair that they can keep getting the first crack at everything because they buy so much when it's not even for them, and meanwhile those of us who are honest consumers end up scrambling and busting our behinds to try to find what we're looking for. What chance do we even stand if they're getting pushed to the top of very every list for being "good customers"? It almost makes me wish the lottery system were more common--I hate it because if I ever were to become a super big spender I know I'd want to be rewarded for my business, but it's just not right to have so many people abusing the current system.I don't buy from PS/resellers anyway because I don't trust anyone but SAs not to send me a fake, but what sucks is that as long as there are desperate people out there willing to buy from them the system will just stay rigged.

I was sooooo tempted to buy a Small CF Caramel from a reseller. She asked for $2,000 over retail. I just couldn’t do it even though, it’s THE color that I want. Hopefully, Chanel will come out with a similar color, or even a better one. Be strong ladies don’t let instant gratification get you.
