Have had my eye on this for years but never could decide on bracelets or a watch (I like the look of bangles stacked but hate how they clank around so I was thinking a watch). Was surprised on Christmas Day when I opened this! I also got the black quilted strap which I will be wearing in the winter. I may get the black tweed also for fall/winter :smile: pink strap is so precious

Love the boyfriend watch. It’s such a modern yet feminine look. Enjoy!

Are they comfortable? I’ve been eying but have experienced many designer shoes that aren’t as comfortable as they are pretty.

My very first in-store purchase. I took this picture and sent it to my husband. I left, went shopping for a little bit to think about this bag and went back to buy it . I think this will be my go-to bag, so I’ll be selling a couple of my Chanels ☺

I’ve always wanted a royal blue Chanel bag :smile: Meet my lovely new “Sapphire”. I only have one picture from the store today to attach, as she’s currently all boxed up in the lovely holiday packaging, waiting to be opened :heart::heart: I don’t know the name of this model; her capacity is about the same as my medium classic flap, which is a perfect size for me at the moment :smile: There’s a short top handle like the 19, and a crossbody classic woven chain strap.

A small Christmas miracle purse story to share…

I don’t buy a lot of Chanel; it’s a special occasions rare treat for me. Mr Dawn and I chose this small crossbody flap bag (quoted post) with excitement on the 22nd, as a combined anniversary/ Christmas/ work milestones celebration. I was therefore sad to discover when I opened it at home that the stitching is crooked on one side, so that the bag wasn’t straight when I packed it.

I had a look on the website for whether I could find any dark blue replacement because I really wanted a “Sapphire”. I came across this beautiful royal blue medium Boy, which I thought would be a dream, but I didn’t think it would be available. I called a few of the London boutiques (most of them didn’t answer the phone) and they said they have very little stock of Boys, certainly no blue. So I reconciled myself to returning the faulty one, and waiting for something else to come along in the next seasons…

But when Mr Dawn took it to return this morning (they agreed it was faulty) and asked if they had any Boy bags, they found my medium sapphire one from the website (picture attached)!! He video called me to confirm it was the one I’d wanted and I couldn’t believe it :biggrin: Mr Dawn checked carefully that it’s a perfect piece (fingers crossed!!) The SA told Mr Dawn that a lot of deliveries haven’t happened during covid so this one was delivered from Paris last month, in a long-delayed delivery.

Clearly a small-scale Christmas miracle (as far as I am concerned!) She’s sitting all boxed up - I’m going to savour opening this one later. But wanted to do a little shouting from rooftop now! :biggrin::love:

What a lovely story and a sweet hubby! Congrats hun! :heart: :loveeyes: :love: :girlsigh: Please don’t forget to share the unboxing with us ;-)
 
Those are the best reasons to get a bag. Nothing better than legacy, love, and family. And you are blessed to have a husband with great taste! Good luck; not that you need it - it appears to me that luck is on your side. I am eager to see the pics of your new round wooden Chanel my friend! ❤
Here she is!!!!!!! I couldn’t believe it when you told me luck is on my side. Especially when my SA already told me she might not be able to get me the round wooden one too. However, she STILL came through. Again, she got another SA who had this bag to sell it to me (just like what she did for my beige mini). My SA called me just as she was knocking off for the day, to look for her colleague who would be assisting me with this bag. I really cannot thank her enough. She is so sweet and I bet people around her loves her like I do - she has a way around people! Thanks for letting me share :)
