I held the mini business affinity in the ecru color but it just didn't seem to translate well on such a tiny bag. i think it would be better in the classic flap style. The Vancouver store never has any of the CFs available as they have already been presold to their VVIPs. The public never stands a chance in getting them compared to the US where there are so many stores/locations to source it from. Yes, deep sigh. At $12 - $13k + tax gives a total of roughly $13,750 - $14,336, this certainly makes it really eye-opening now.

Thanks. Probably just FOMO. lol. I saw the classic flap at Bloor location but it was only from a distance and it looked nice. Good to know they don’t look as great in smaller bags coz I would have preferred something smaller. Thanks for your feedback

I can easily justify RTW prices, but not a CF. Last week I got a fantastic pink tweed jacket w/ gorgeous buttons for the same price as a flap (although, I got a medium flap too, but anywho). So much work goes into their jackets, and most of the RTW for that matter, so I can understand the price point. A CF is literally leather and a sewing machine LOL. Kidding! Sorta :rolleyes:

Yes I love Chanel RTW. I've been buying mostly their RTW pieces. Really well made & intricate.

So so beautiful!!! :loveeyes:
I’m so FOMO right now. lol. I always want a blue CF. Leaving to Europe in 2 days. Amidst price increases rumor, I am not sure what to do. Reaching out to my SA here in the US or wait to try my luck in Europe? Only you guys here would understand the struggles. lol. Fingers crossed hope I find the beautiful blue either here or in Europe. :rolleyes:

I was able to secure a CF in EU right around launch time. That’s when the boutiques are most likely restocked, it also depends on which city you’re going to and whether they have a big local clientele. The store I went to was mostly getting tourists.

Prior to launch I went to a few boutiques in different cities and not one of them had a CF available. Good luck hunting!

Agreed plus most jackets are one of a kind and they never bring back that style so only a few of us can have it. RTW stock is much more limited compared to CFs and the bags all look the same with not a lot of creativity besides color.

Only buy it if you love the color and bag. I just wasn't convinced of the color on that little bag. Also, the ecru reminded me of an eyeshadow I have from Bobbi Brown (Bone) and I couldn't unsee it. :lol: Obviously, the Chanel ecru was very pretty but I just couldn't do it.

I am so disappointed with this last minute increase! I totally missed out on a WOC. Only Hawaii is open now and I have no SA contacts there. Good luck to all those who were able to get their bags this round! :)

Thanks. Glad to hear that you have found a CF when you were there. I am going to a major touristy cities in Germany, South of France and also Paris. I know not to hold my breathe in Paris. Maybe in other cities. The prices have already gone mad so maybe the pieces from 23S will come out sooner. I sure will go look hard for the blue or any other pretty color to take advantage of a tax refund since the prices in the US is so up there. Don’t think I want to pay the new US prices anytime soon. That is just crazy!!!

So so pretty!! Also your Lilac is stunning too. Major congrats!!!
Funny story, I went looking for the blue today but could not find it. Came home with the Lilac of 23P. OMG. I never thought I like pink. Never understand the obsession over a pink CF until now. It is such a happy color!!! Talking about a color therapy. Now I know. Lol.
I just need to go hunt for the blue in Europe so we can be double twins. :smile:
