Chanel Spring/Summer 2022 Act II (22S)

Just got offered a small caramel CF…originally wanted a rectangular mini. Torn between settling for the small or wait and see if a caramel mini will come back in a later season. Upside of the small is that it’s available now, and even though the caramel this season is super close to 21P, it’s a tad darker and I love that, I don’t think I this exact shade will be repeated again. Downside is that the small can’t be worn cross body (on me), and it’s almost double the price of the mini for not that much bigger of a bag.

Thoughts?

I have both the 21p mini and just purchased the 22s small. Yes the colour is slightly different but I prefer the small size over the mini and that is why I’m going to be getting rid of the mini. I like to wear my bag on the shoulder and I prefer the lambskin this season hence my preference for the 22s small.

Chanel prices might continue to increase, and the next time the mini comes in this colour the price may be close to the small price today. Just never know with Chanel! Good luck with your decision.
 
Hi there! The question is, do you love it? This colour has been very popular, but I personally don’t think anyone needs any particular colour in their collection, unless they themselves love it. I’ve made this mistake before, buying popular colours/items, only to realize they aren’t for me. I have many colours that aren’t the popular ones from any given season, but they make my heart sing. If you love the 22A purple, then wait for that one. Good luck deciding!
Thank you :)
The color grew on me :love:
The only thing I’m currently debating - should I return and buy a mini (they go for $6k) or rather keep small?

After a week or so of going back and forth about this bag I decided to get it. I think it was the pressure of the month ending since I hadn’t bought anything lol. The pink is definitely much prettier than I realized. Color is closer to the second pic. I think I need to use some applegard or something on it!

Do you use applegard on your leather bags too? I have a new beige mini classic flap and not sure if I should protect it with something? Don't want to hurt / ruin the leather

I do not. I’ve only used applegard on my suede shoes which has been helpful. Oddly enough the bulk of my collection is lambskin and I am no where near worried about them the way I am this fabric :facepalm:

Hi @jimmyshoogirl :flowers:
Is the fabric already coated to make it durable/resistant to stains? I only ask because I have a fabric Givenchy shopping tote and I think the booklet it came with mention that it was coated already.

Hiiiiii, Lav!!:hugs:
It doesn’t feel coated. I will have to look at the care booklet to see. Thanks for the reminder! My SA is standing firm on staining and getting dirty not being an issue in her experience with previous light colors/clients.

I’m LOVING the Small Funky Town in Purple on you. Your photo might actually be my favorite mod shot of that bag so far. I think it looks fabulous on you - love the beautiful color and love the chunky chain.
