Ahhhh I received my Melody Backpack today and I’m in LOVE!!!!! The caviar is gorgeous and it looks and feels very durable and well constructed. It’s the best seasonal caviar I’ve personally come across that isn’t vintage or not on a mini flap. Imo it’s hard to find exceptional caviar on seasonal bags, especially ones without a classic silhouette.

I would absolutely not describe the leather as “soft caviar.” It may be “soft” to some because it’s not extremely rigid like the caviar you find on classic flaps in classic colors, but it’s firm and thick. I’ve seen bags with soft seasonal caviar that didn’t feel durable and this is not it at all. I don’t find the chain heavy. In fact, I’m confused about that comment. It doesn’t feel different from the average Chanel chain. The chains are thin and not bulky, which I love. The profile is thin and falls perfectly flat and parallel to the back. And because of the profile, when you need to open the bag while one strap is attached to the shoulder, it’s easy to access. I feel like this is a backpack/bag hybrid. It’s so sleek and chic but edgy. I had the BA Backpack and felt it affected the way I stood because of how it feel on my back. Maybe because it was so large and slanted at the base. I feel like the best Chanel backpacks that sit well on the body and hold their shape better are ones that don’t slant at the base, like the Urban Spirit and Vintage Duma bags, among others. The size is comparable to a medium flap. I attached a photo of what fits inside, including my 13 Pro Max IPhone.

It’s incredibly well made. Between this backpack and my 21S caviar mini top handle, I can see the quality coming through. I feel like Chanel has stepped it up, although they still have to work at maintaining that across the board.

This is a special bag. It’s unique and not many people will have it. If it’s your style and vibe, I cannot recommend it enough!!!! It’s sooo beautiful.

Just received the light pink card holder yesterday. Happy to report that it’s a true baby pink color. Haven’t received the cf yet. But I took some pictures comparing with other light pink card holders, hope it’ll help some of you in seeing the difference in the pink shades. Those pics were taken with natural lighting. It’s extremely hard to capture the true colors but I tried. The light pink with black card is 22p, the other light pink is 21s, and the medium pink is from 22c. Unlike what other ppl thought it was close to 21s lilac pink. To me, when I compared them side by side in person, they didn’t look at all similar. The 21s appeared a bit ashy next to 22p but by itself, I couldn’t see the ashy tone. To me, the 22p is a true cool toned baby pink whereas the 21s is a lilac pinkView attachment 5310797View attachment 5310798View attachment 5310799View attachment 5310800

21C is more beige-ish pink. Lambskin is true baby pink vs caviar has really slight tinge of lilac, but still very baby pink. Definitely a true baby pink compared to 21S based off of @M00 's comparison pictures!

I went to the boutique today. My SA told me that they got only ca. 5% of the collection so far they have never received before such a tiny amount of a new collection.

Saw this iridescent purple calfskin small 19 at the store a couple days ago. Debating on getting it as my first 19, but really wanted the black with black hardware - which my SA cannot get for me The iridescent purple is so much more beautiful irl

Which country is that for? Seems right, everything I have asked for isn’t here yet and we can’t reserve either I’m told sigh

Do you plan to use it every day? I would be concerned about the wear and tear, color transfer especially on such a light lambskin color. But if you love it, go for it!
