I was at the boutique today and inquired about upcoming collections and that I might be interested in some pieces and how to proceed. The SA told me they do not take reservations anymore and do a kind of "first come first serve" concept. She said the demand is so high that they would have a list of 20 names for one size of a shoe and it seemed pointless. She was very nice and it does make sense to me but I do suspect that well-known customers who spend a lot might get first dibs on some items. Has anyone heard about such an approach? This is for Switzerland btw and I know it's very different in the US especially at department stores where SAs work for commission...

I went to my local boutique two days in a row asking for a my perfect mini in blue and the staff said aparently the blue colour is popular so it was allocated to their “ready to wear clients” and sold out so none of them were ever placed on the shelf for sale to the general public. She advised me to build up my purchase history with “ready to wear” so I can get pre-allocated with bags too. I’m sure im gonna get scolded by mum if i’m spending 10k on clothes lol

Hello everyone! :smile: They say that the new purple colour planned for the new 22p collection will be a rich pure (like in the pic) ...you know something?
Thank you! :heart:

Oh wow! That looks like a fun color. Hope some pics come out of it actually on a bag. It looks pretty in that swatch but also like it has the potential to be SUPER saturated / neon, which I don’t think I’d be as much into.

My long time SA recently told me something similar about this “new policy” too.

I spend a lot on Chanel bags and SLGs, but not much on RTW, so I guess I’m way below the totem pole of clientele. Lol.

It was a little heartbreaking to hear it from someone I’ve been working with for years but also it’s another wakeup call (if the crazy price increases weren’t enough!) that it’s time to move on from Chanel.

I agree. It stung a little when I first started with Chanel and a SA rudely told me she will not put me on the reserve/wish list for a mini because I will never get it anyways since it is reserved for their top tier clientele.

It is disappointing that Chanel is moving towards that approach. Sure some bags are in high demand with low supply and you want to keep your clientele that drop loads of money on RTW but it pushes away potential new customers. Not to mention how some resellers are up there on that totem pole. I think doing it that way fits Hermes but not Chanel where the quality continues to decline.
