I can’t resist posting anymore. These “personal shoppers” have to be stopped. They give a bad name to REAL personal shoppers.

I was late to the game and only found out about the iridescent ivory color like a month ago, and really wanted in the mini. In a moment of weakness I contacted an IG “personal shopper” about the price. There were a pair of sneakers I wanted from a previous season and asked them to source it as well. This reseller totally ignored my request for sourcing of the sneakers and just wanted to sell their hoard of htf chanel bags.

My family has a VERY long purchase history with Chanel, and we buy clothes and other things every season. We were not able to get any of the caramel, ivory or even rose color because of these greedy reseller hoarders. If I studied Chanel every time they came out with something new, I’d probably be able to get it, but since when has shopping turned into a job?! I miss the days of being able to walk into Chanel and purchasing what makes my heart sing, rather than sit here and study early so I can get ahead of these scumbags. Until they do something about this, I refuse to purchase, the price increases are enough.

Agreed! Your word choice is PERFECT - 'when has shopping turned into a job'. The 'hunt' has become ridiculous!
 
Hi, your bag seems lovely, do you have more pictures of it as I’m trying to decide if I should get the navy from 21C or this latest 21P? I’ve been researching a lot on the chanel 19 navy and seems like it is out almost every season but lately only in lambskin. The shade varies every season,
from more indigo shades to very dark inky blue. The goatskin version you are looking for would probably be from collections a year ago.
I just returned it but here’s a photo.

I chat with Chanel chat today because i have an appointment this Thursday at Chanel boutique and ask if they had a mini in black and they asked me if I shopped with them before I said no and she said hold on and that no there too hard to get and I’ll have to go in store to get more info.I thought it was odd just wanted to make sure they would have it or see if they would since I have an appointment. I live 5 hrs away. Not sure what to expect. This is just odd to me. Even if I’m a first time buyer if I’m coming in person why could t they give me info. There’s a NM in Chicago I wonder if they’ll have one or be more helpful

I believe it. Chanel service is horrible in my opinion. They won’t even give you the time of day unless you have previously purchased in store. They act like you are bothering them. I seriously can’t stand it. For the price we pay for these items we should be treated excellent.. sick of it
 
...do you think....this forum had anything to do with the sudden enforcement? :shocked::nuts::graucho::happydance::giggle::wave: Like, do you think Chanel corporate is on here?

No but really. Why suddenly now (not that I’m not appreciative that the brand is finally doing something). Also- I won’t believe this until all the shopper accounts stop posting items for sale haha

The reseller is selling a rectangular mini so that’s a $1,300 profit for her if she sells that bag. Sigh.
I saw someone posted the small cf in rose Clair asking for $2100 OVER retail price. That’s the bank transfer price, shipping is extra. They make me so furious :cursing::mad::cursing:. I’d rather pass even if it’s my unicorn bag than feeding those parasites. We seriously have to stop them. Report their ig acct, tell your sa, complain to the corporate. Do whatever you can even if it’s small. I believe if more and more of us take action, we can stop them
 
This is crazy - Thank you for sharing this! I really hope the tide is turning, everytime i see a new rose Clair for sale by some reseller a part of me just dies lol. The revelation about the Oregon address is pretty crazy though - I had no idea. I wonder what Chanel will do long term to stop this. This seems to be the one brand that suffers from this reseller market the most (not even Hermès which is notorious for being hard to acquire)

Islandrumom mentioned in her stories just now that there’s a difference between personal shoppers and resellers. I don’t know that I see a difference? Personal shoppers still use their status to “cut” the line or hold spots for customers right? Like they can still get on multiple wait lists and give up their spot to the first customer that pays their fees? It’s not that much different than reselling.
