I know I am so lucky & happy... I texted my SA on Oct 6 or 7, the day after the show. Psycho maybeeee but crazy this is how you have to do it now for chanel!!

Seconding this - my SA was just explaining this to me, that Chanel want true fans; Chanel want clients to watch their shows. Instead of reserving items with your SA based on each boutique buy-book right before launch, clients should watch the shows and let SAs know asap what you want from the show (6 months ahead). This way the boutique/SA will request for those items based on what their clients want, and this also means as a client you're more likely to get what you actually want and not needing to fight those limited 3 heartbag slots etc.
To me (and most folks here) this is actually good news, if this is true I am just glad that they are not going to play the Hermes *quota* game. I mean we have threads created 6 months ahead, we're already doing the homework either way lol.
Hi, any suggestions on how to get on wishlist for bags in uk please? Anything I ask is always sold out. Also they keep saying there’s no list as such… how does one get anything if not by luck? I went looking for a bag the other day & literally the stock was so poor. Everything- sold out. Thank you
Read on red that the launch date is going to be 3/10, country not specified though.
UK is tricky, I agree. When I lived there I always purchased what was available in store and never managed to reserve anything, but stock was pretty plentiful pre-covid. Personally, I had the most luck finding seasonal bags at Sloane St boutique and the least luck in Harrods (because there you get Harrods rewards on your purchase, so everyone prefers to buy there).
My sa at the stand alone boutique just got back to me, they’ll get purple, dark pink and light blue in small cf caviar. @KittyCattt since 22p light blue didn’t work for me. Do you think I should try 22s light blue?
If it helps, I live in Germany and my sa told me today that the launch here will be around March 15th.
Yayyy I'm so glad you're thinking about giving it a chance, who knows this could be the blue that you have been looking for this whole time
I mean look at these pictures, since I still haven’t received my 22p replacement either maybe I can just get on these myself if things don't work out lol. To me they look just a tad bluer than 22p, no undertone imo and still in the baby blue family. If I were you I would at least see it in person before saying no, especially when you have been waiting for so long. What do you think?

I would suggest finding a SA you connect well with. I went through a couple of SAs in Chanel London before I found one I work well with.
22s is about to launch March 10 when 22p bags haven’t arrived yet. Can anyone confirm whether in the US it is 1 classic flap per month or 1 classic flap per 30 days? Bc I already put in a deposit at one department store for the 22p caramel yet I’m still waiting for my 22s light pink flap which could be here any day. I’m hoping they won’t block my purchases and also don’t want to get banned! I wouldn’t bought the bag a month ago when it launched if it was here on time! Kinda scared of getting banned
I understand it to be 1 per month. So you could purchase a bag on 2/28 and be eligible to purchase again on 3/1.
1 per calendar month is my understanding as well.
If anything they’d just say no to you buying 2, not ban you. It’s 1 per month.
I would think there would be some leniency as the bag has been delayed.
In the UK, we have a rule where we can only buy one bag every 30 days (maybe it’s 60, I can’t remember) but I had just bought a mini flap on 30 June and then my 21B grey mini came in end of July. My SA said there are obviously extenuating circumstances as they launch the collections so close to each other. She also knows I am not a reseller as I only buy one bag every couple of seasons so I was able to purchase hassle free.
Fingers crossed you can get both!
