I think they are two totally different bags. The 21p is sparkly/ glittery and the 21s looks like a flat colour. I agree with the black hardware. Very torn about it. I’m wondering if the iridescent beige is a better option.
Also, would be interested in anyone’s experience with black hardware? I’ve seen posts on other threads about issues with discolouration and peeling :sad:
 
So, as assumed, the Storage room lighting made the beige and white iridescent appear darker. Here’s a picture of the iridescent beige (and yes, it’s the same bag I posted yesterday that my SA put on hold). Unfortunately nothing else has come in and the iridescent white WOC already sold so I could not compare.

The Mini with handle was odd. Tiny, thin handle, shiny, plasticky and thin caviar, super slim non detachable strap, misaligned flap. Overall it looked cheap to me but maybe it’s the black colour.
Store lighting - the windows were covered (as the store is not open where I am, only pickup).

Oh that’s so disappointing about the strap... is it more like a WOC strap? Do you happen to know if the timeless handle mini has leather or fabric lining? Thanks
 
The one bag per month policy is true and is set to be implemented in March. I’m new to Chanel and have been so impressed with their releases this year, I tried to get on the list for everything. I bought a coco handle in caramel for my mom two weeks ago, thanks to @nat74 and was able to find a light pink CCH for myself this week and my SA wasn’t able to ring it up because I was over the limit. Thankfully the store decided to move the policy to March so I was able to get it but it’s definitely real! She did say it was only one particular store but didn’t include any details. I’m not sure if all other stores will follow suit. This was from NM.
And me asking my SA about too many colors and lists also set her off thinking that I’m a reseller so it’s been a pretty difficult ride. I didn’t expect the luxury goods experience to require so much leg work.
Oh wow so one bag limit each, so either purchase from NM (leased boutique) or a stand alone boutique? How about Nordstrom’s if it’s still managed by Nordstrom’s? I usually have to shop for my mom and sisters since they live far from a boutique...

So asking to get on a waitlist makes ppl sound like resellers?
 
Beautiful bags but I am a little torn now. I was attracted to the silver mini with top handle during the runway so I asked my SA to put me on reserve list last November. Received a text from my SA last Friday that their store received 3 silver mini with top handle with 25 people on the list. I am #1 on the list while #2 and #3 already confirmed buying the bags. Interestingly, they can only start doing transactions for the SS21 collection on Tuesday 3/2. Got few days to decide. Any thoughts on this silver mini with top handle? Thanks.
Like silver, do not like the handle and would never consider. I would for coco handle or trendy cc personally.
it’s personal preference, so If you like it, get it.
