Just picked up my gold mini cav w/ handle and I have to say, I’m a bit...shocked at how dark the gold is :/ Especially compared to the pics online. Definitely pulls more of a fall, Metiers gold than a spring/summer gold IMO. Gonna take a few days to think on it, as it does have a lot of pluses—but right now, I’m not sure she’s a keeper :sad: Maybe I’ll do a poll on IG like I did with the silver one, haha. Anyway, thoughts? TIA!
love it

I also bought the gold caviar mini top handle- these are very tough decisions, so this is just what I think of it- it is a very durable caviar, compared to a lambskin bag, it seems that this will wear very well. The handle is sturdy and while the chain is thinner than a mini flap, it is like jewelry to me. I can see myself holding onto this bag for years! A gold caviar mini, to me that is what sold me :)) and it is a little taller and wider than the rectangular mini as well!
 
someone said it was the color of the beige chanel19 uploaded here a while back. What’s interesting is that none have uploaded a photo of it. Not even the resellers, which I find quite odd. Is that color really part of this collection? Guess we’ll just wait and see for the next few weeks
Here’s a pic of the dark beige. My SA confirmed this is an accurate pic of it. I ordered it in the small 19. I’ll be sure to post pics once mine comes in.

My SA in a boutique reserved me a light pink medium flap in caviar 2 weeks ago, but she reserved me an iridescent light pink in calf accidently. So, she put me in a reserve list of other boutique last weekend: the 7th place out of 6 bags they are getting. I contacted my old SA in Saks NY last weekend and he said that he would do his best to get me one. I didn't believe that he would actually get me one since I only bought one card holder from him more than two years ago. He texted me at least 10 times this morning since 9:30 am, but I missed them all. I checked his messages at 12:30 pm. I was freaking out. He still had the bag and I ordered it. It wasn't easy at all. I contacted A LOT of SAs. It's like playing a game with Chanel in order to spend my 7K.

Dropped by Bloomies this evening hoping to see whatever pieces from 21S were left over - joke was on me since there were absolutely none, literally every piece they got was sold on reserve and never hit the floor per the SA I spoke with (my regular SA wasn't there).

I also asked about the dark pink mini I am after and snuck a peek in their buy book. I couldn't see the actual quantities for all of the stores but based on all of the blanks in the table showing the number ordered by each store, less than half the boutiques are getting it. Not holding my breath on this one.

Also chatted briefly on the general supply issues - she echoed what others said here that things are extremely limited the last few collections, but seemed to think it might be back to normal by pre-fall. Just one more data point to add to the mix...
