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 :smile:

Thank you! They are USD 12K each. Truly a collector’s piece that is worth considering!

Thanks so much for your kind words! Indeed! Above all these material gains, we are really blessed for everything and everyone around us. I’m so happy my wish is fulfilled and the legacy I pictured in my mind can be passed down to each of my sons! Dreamsss come true :heart::rolleyes:
 
Thank you so much!

Another twist to the tale!!

I finally opened the box, and she’s such a chameleon! She’s not blue - she’s a sort of dark teal but looks royal blue in some lights, almost green in others, and almost a cyan blue in strong yellow light. I think she’s gorgeous.

Clearly she can’t be “Sapphire” so she will have to be “Penelope (the Peacock)” (it’s a very peacock feather colour :biggrin:). (Yes, some of my bags have names. No, that’s totally normal!:lol::lol:)

Pictures attached!

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:
