Anyone seen a pink deauville yet? I am starting to give up. My SA turned her silence notification on, hopefully she is not ghosting me Lol.
It hasn’t arrived any where which is why no has one posted it. I’m on reserve for one.

If I were an SA I’d eventually turn my silent notifications on to stop receiving the same questions I have no answers to lol

You haven't gotten them because they are all delayed in shipment or because the reserve list was so long? I am still unsure of how the reserve system really works. In some cases it feels like a reserve is a claim on a bag. Otherwise the SA would or should just say "I'll add you to the waitlist". But then I've seen members on this forum say they reserved but got bumped or they were too far down the list. Then in my mind it really isn't a reserve. Is reserve different than waitlist? It seems like it varies by store and by SA. Or SAs and/or members here use those terms interchangeably. In the past all my reserves from one particular SA has resulted in me getting the bag. She never said or used the term "guaranteed" reserve. Just used the generic term reserved. But hearing other's stories makes me wonder if reserve means what it used to. Just like everything else with Chanel, it's clear as mud and never carried out consistently.
So where I live we have three stores, 2 stand alones and one in NM. Every store has different reserve or wait list system.

One stand alone is straight up reserve and you'll get it, if there's space in reserve list. SA checks how many store gets and sees how many has been reserved and depending on that puts your name in the list. If it's full usually they won't put your name there. They take your cc information and call when your purse arrives. Only thing about this is that the reserves has been done long before launch so if it's highly coveted bag your chances are slim..

NM store is very different. They get the, I call it, waitlist books day before the launch and have no clue what the store gets and how many before that. So there the SAs put their clients name in almost every bag that comes in so the lists are long. They give their clients the opportunity at least see the bag even 95% of the time client didn't even ask about the bag. So there even if you have 6 people before you it's still very possible that you get the bag since everyone else has declined and you're the only one who really wants it.

Then one boutique says they don't do reserves at all, even my sa did it once but now she says they won't do any. I highly doubt it, it's only for VIPs most likely, but their store does have most inventory on the floor so actually you can walk in and buy something. This store is also the biggest one, so I guess they want to have something to put on the floor...
So this is how it works here and helps if you have SA who gets the list or books first...
 
Apologies if I offend anyone but to me, they look silly and juvenile on the wrist :shocked:…Maybe if they were made much, much smaller and were on a proper chain bracelet or better yet on a cuff instead of the elastic band, then they might’ve looked dainty, proportionate and well made :hrmm:. Don’t kill me everyone:facepalm:

There was a few weeks delay as the original mini reserved for me had a few strange holes and a big knick on the side, but I think this was well worth the wait.

I have to send a gigantic thank you and hug to our very special @hlzpenguin for connecting me with her kind SA so i could get this lovely mini caramel square! :heart::hugs:

I did want to note this was made in France. I have one other mini square in black (made in Italy) and I feel this caramel one is SO much lighter! A little drier lamb and less puffy - still perfect to me though. I also find the strap drop much longer but i can’t find my tape measure so I can’t confirm that. I have some photos for reference with my two other minis. This caramel is closer to the red top handle. Has anyone experienced this? Not sure if dimensions have changed or it’s this season or country of origin. My black mini was from summer 2020

Glad that you are able to get another one that’s perfect! Sounds like there are definitely more pieces available this year than last year :).
