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

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!
