Hi tPF! I have a big birthday tomorrow and I just picked up this at FedEx! Over the last couple of months I’ve sold off a bunch of bags I didn’t love or use, and bought my dream bag — a reissue 226 so black!! ❤❤❤

It’s from 19k. I got it preloved but in new condition with full set and plastic sticker intact from Vluxestyle. The receipt was just a photocopy and price and bag details were whited out, strangely (not very useful). I’m also surprised it came in a plain black fabric bag. Is that perhaps normal for so black since it’s seasonal?

I have a black 225 with ghw that I bought in Cannes some years ago. Was looking for 226 that time but they didn’t have it, and I got the 225. I love and have used that bag more than any other, but was still longing for an everyday size. And since I’m not a rhw lady, all black it is!

Will for sure get it authenticated, even though it feels and looks authentic to me. Vluxestyle sent along an Entrupy COA, but I’ve read a lot of bad reviews about Entrupy here at tPF so def want a second (human) opinion. I will go with Etinceler since Vluxestyle accepts Etinceler, Leather Surgeon and Entrupy only.

I’ve wrapped it back up and now it’s waiting in my closet for tomorrow. Yay!!! Thanks for letting me share

Hi TPFers!

Just want to post a follow-up to my own post in case anyone is planning to buy from Vluxestyle. I sent it for authentication to Leather Surgeons, and they deemed it AUTHENTIC :heart: So that's Leather Surgeons, Entrupy, Vluxestyle and myself all saying it is authentic - I consider case closed :smile: (There weren't any warning bells, but I still wanted to make sure.)

Huge thanks to my bag twin TPFer @daisygal03 who reached out and helped me comparing some details specific to this exact bag model/color between hers and mine. :hugs:

Have a great day all!
 
Congrats! I’m also buying my first Chanel bag, a C19 woc in caramel, but pre-loved since it’s sold out in the boutiques :sad:. How do you like it so far? Does it fit all of your essentials?

I've used it a couple times so far and loving the softness! I bought a WOC base shaper for it (you can find a bunch listed on etsy like WOCSaverUK) so it definitely makes a huge difference. I'm able to fit my phone, invisalign case, lipstick, small hand sanitizer, keys and cards.

Awesome, thanks! The shaper is a good idea. Can’t wait to get mine!
