I’m in the same boat as you. I requested the caramel flap from my NM SA and so far nothing… I’m kinda losing hope, thinking they all went to VIPs

I will keep good thoughts and send positive vibes your way!
I bought mine at Rue Cambon 31, in Paris, yesterday and I’m in love!
The sa said that the navy blue, green and purple will arrive only April 7th and for me to get this medium black took me over an hour at the boutique trying on other items and asked twice, after the sa realized I really wanted the 22 she said she would ask for the manager for “the last black available that was reserved “. She came back and took me to a private dressing room and on the minute she showed me the bag I knew it it was her!
Very happy with it, practical, spacious, the leather feels and looks way more luxurious that in the pics. I already wore it last night and women wearing Chanel or other designer bags were def looking at my 22 I’ll take more pics with it and share here.
PS: the packaging for the 22 is huge and heavy, I wasn’t expecting such a big box and shopping bag. Can’t lie that I loved it and the sa was sweet enough to give me the magazine, some samples ( I also bought two beauty products) and extra camelias.

I'm hoping they wear like my non-designer espadrilles; I sized down 1/2 a size for stretch. I agree on that warm weather! Can't wait for summer, maybe even with Dad sandals
You can ask your SA what number you are in the reserve list. I think your SA will tell you the truth. I have been in the reserve list of 3 NM stores - I am in 1st, 3rd and 4th in the list. With the NM store which I am in the 4th in the list, I was told the store is going to get 6 caramel bags. Once I have my caramel med bag, I can introduce you to other my SA if you cannot find your dream caramel bag.
I asked my SA and she confirmed that it’s unlikely that I will get it (8th in line)
I’m guessing it’s because I didn’t buy enough bags the past year and she had offered me other bags from previous seasons but I politely declined. Had to take a break from Chanel and save up due to life (buying a house and having a kid). Now that’s all squared, I’m back lol. You’re so kind. I’ll take you up on that offer once you have your bag.
This has always been my wonder as well. I check this thread once in a while but I don't find much answers on here... More users asking than answering. Maybe someone can chime in here? I have only owned my for less than a year, so far no yellowing but then again it's less than a yr old

I have my white CF bag for almost 2 years now, no yellowing! I went to Napa the first time I wore it, I accidentally spilled a little bit of red wine on it (clutz I know
) and was able to wipe it off! Good thing it didn’t spill on the stitches, just the caviar in between the quilts (lol!)

I bought my white one pre-loved from 21S and I haven't noticed any yellowing. I was afraid that in some lighting it did seem SLIGHTLY yellow, but I think it's really just lighting. The white from 21S is more creamy than the bright white of 22S. I will say that after getting my white flap, I have zero regrets and love it so much. It's made me look twice at the new white C19 with reverse hardware.
Ah thanks so much for chiming in
And that's very good to hear! I think I've heard of some owners reminding others to be mindful of humidity when storing white bags. Where I am from it's a pretty good balance, so I guess I shouldn't need to worry too much then. I have no regrets too, white Chanel cfs are so classy and feminine! To me white goes with everything and it kind of replaces my need for black bags haha.
