Chanel Spring/Summer 2023 Act1 (23P)

[inthebag0922]

I was lucky enough to get my hands on this ecru mini top handle because someone else who had it on hold did not show up to collect it. My SA saw it and texted me if I was still interested and I said HECK YESS!! She had 5 other people interested but she was kind enough to offer it to me first so I am so thankful. She told me the boutique had about 4 mini top handles since launch day and they were all gone within 5 minutes. Anyway, the ecru looks amazing in person; my pictures did not fully capture the real color. It is warmer and more vibrant in person. I’m so happy to have her in my collection now

Does anyone know the retail price for this cute mini bag? Is it 23P? Thanks

Amazing collection! My neutral-loving heart is exploding lol I have the 19B as well and I can’t believe I always gravitate towards it.. if I were to pick one from this bunch, no doubt it’ll be the 19B! Love your collection! Thanks for sharing!!

23P dark brown - photographs lighter than real life colour. Rich saturated brown and the caviar is quite matt

23P ecru - photographs much lighter and warmer than real colour. More neutral and slightly darker in real life. Stunning shade in person!

Thank you so much for posting these and sharing your thoughts! I just bought the ecru flap and it is by far my favorite in my collection. I have never seen a picture that captures the color correctly including my own photos in the best natural light! I am also contemplating this dark beige but again, like the ecru, I cannot get a good idea of the color in photos. Since you have so many neutrals, how would you say that the 23p dark beige compares to your others? Does 23p dark beige have an orange undertone? I also have many neutrals already so would only go for it if it was truly special. Thank you so much in advance for any info!!

you can check my posting for comparison on page 62. I did have a debate when the dark beige and ecru were in front of me. I ended up with the dark beige instead. I truly think the color looked more special down the road with neutral color clothing as it will stand out more than the ecru one. Also the ecru one will def have higher chances of color transferring.

Congratulations on this beauty. As I noted several posts back, I too was hooked on this mini once I saw the color and how the hardware complimented all. My SA also advised me that this bag would almost surely not be available within a few hours. Enjoy!

Thank you for your response! I just checked your post, your mini is absolutely beautiful, however I have heard that the caviar dark beige is very different from the lambskin dark beige, so I am specifically wondering about the dark beige on the caviar medium flap congrats on your beauty though!

Hi does anyone has micro business affinity from 23p and noticed the light gold chain is darker than usual or am I going crazy? It looks brassy shiny gold tone to me so I compared to my other chain it is..or it's just mine? Can someone compare and let me know? Helpp

I received my 23P Top Handle Small in White color today (I’m based in USA) I love it, but not sure if the edges on the hardware are supposed to have a “scuffed up” look, and the gold color is definitely darker! Does yours have the scuffed-up look on the hardware? I asked my SA about it and I’m waiting for her answer.

I think it's supposed to look like this since this is aged gold hardware. The mini 2.55 that I bought (and exchanged) also had hardware looking like this.

I purchased this exact bag and mine looks just like this : ) I personally prefer the aged gold hardware, you don’t have to worry about scratches as much. Congrats on your new bag!

 

[MomMomx3]

Thanks so much!

Honestly the ecru is outstanding and I haven’t seen a colour like this before. It wasn’t even on my radar until my SA said it’s so special it needs to be seen in person.

I agree about the ecru. I saw it in person during a preview of 23P with my SA. I ended up purchasing the lilac iridescent medium CF and never forgot the ecru. Today I saw it in a small CF. It would work well for anyone who needs a cooler-tone off-white. I may need to add it to my collection!

Yes, I just got the same bag, and mine is just like yours. It is aged hardware, so completely normal. I normally prefer shiny hardware, but the aged gold goes very well with the bag, plus there is less worry with aged gold hardware since it is already “distressed”.
And I am so happy with the handle detail - I think it is STUNNING

Just pick up this cuties, bigger version is perfect size for me

It is truly beautiful and love the handle detail. You are totally right! Since it’s already distressed no need to worry about it aging.
