Chanel Spring/Summer 2022 Act1 (22P)

FedEx arrived early this morning but I got busy…. Ok after carefully inspected, I love the shiny and durable caviar! Love the shape. It’s so chic! And it’s just like a handbag with the backpack straps. The chains have some weight to it but they are not that heavy so it can be managed. There’s an inner back compartment that I can put my iPhone Pro Max and still able to lock the bag. That’s a plus cuz I don’t need to open the zipper to put the phone in and out. However, the zipper is a bit hard to pull and there’s nothing to grasp and pull unless I have to hold on to one side of the bag in order to pull the zipper. I’m afraid that it will cause more creases over the time. Also, not sure if my left should is ‘defective’ or what, the strap kept slipping off my shoulder. So those are the 2 cons that I found for me. For the zipper, I can try to leave it open and only pull up on the sides of the bag but not to close it completely so that I don’t have to pull it many times while wearing. But not sure what I can do about the strap slipping off. I think I’ll have to try wearing it more at home and see if I can live with it.:sad:

By the way, I can put the LV mini pochette and phone in the main compartment and it still has room for something else. Here are some pics for reference.

Love it. The caviar is really nice. I love the antique style logo clasp than the shiny ones in CF. Chain is nice as well, not too chunky like 19 or skinny like WOC. Congrats!
 
It is a brushed ghw but it looks really nice! Just got mine today. Passed on the mini and went with this instead because since the gold leather on the mini is a lighter shade, I felt like the bghw was too harsh up against it. But on the WOC, it is perfect. I agree that shiny or champs ghw would have looked stunning on either the WOC or the mini from this season, but the bghw matches the shade of the gold leather on the WOC perfectly so it blends in beautifully to where I think the bag can easily be dressed up or down. Makes it more versatile IMO. I wear a lot of gold fine jewelry and played around with it today, putting it next to some of my pieces and I’m obsessed. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed!
Hi dear,
Would you mind posting pics of your gold WOC? I'm curious to see the colour and it stacked up against your jewellery. How do you like the lambskin on it?

Anyone got the gold mini flap and can share natural daylight pics? I was really hoping the gold would be more like the champagne gold mini flap from last year that I missed out on. This one just seems so brassy.View attachment 5309338

My SA just offered this to me today since I wanted a mini. The mini gold for 22P has a bold gold/brassy gold this season compared to the 22P gold WOC with a smoother/ lighter gold. I passed on her offer.

What do you all think of this bag from 22P? I loved it when it first came out in the classic colors but it sold out immediately. I saw this yesterday at the store in SF. The color and size is really pretty… I’m just not sure how I feel about the zipper especially when combined with the iridescent color. :confused1:

Very pretty but the version in caviar would be my choice as this might be outdated soon.

This ‘Like a Wallet’ is from 22C not 22P.

Thank you for sharing! Yes, I also did not end up going for my reserve on this mini. It was just too brassy gold for my liking, and the leather was too wrinkled on multiple diamonds and very dry in appearance.
