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

A small black caviar bag and a Gabrielle backpack have been on my Chanel wishlist for a while but everytime I popped into the shop, I left empty handed.
Got super lucky and finally checked both these items off my wishlist this month! Went to several boutiques and was told the “Like a Wallet” mini had sold out on the first day of launch but luckily, my Chanel store restocked just 1 black one and my new SA was able to keep it on hold for me!
A few days later, I messaged my SA asking her to keep an eye out for the Gabrielle backpack and a couple hours later, she replies saying they had just gotten a shipment in! Definitely did not expect to pick up two bags in a week, but I’m not complaining (already took both out for a spin and I’m in love with both of them!) Luckily I just sold off a Chanel bag so the damage is not too bad

I didn’t even know the mini pouch was available in this colour! I don’t wear enough light colours/pastels to justify two light pink flaps…so this was a nice little compromise/treat. Took a comparison shot with my 21s flap…I’m pretty pink-ed out for the foreseeable future

My newest addition, a extra mini coco handle in metallic blue.
the first picture is in direct sunlight, and you can see the metallic shifts, and the second pictures is in indirect light, where it looks like a brighter blue

Love this color...wish they had released a classic flap in it...
I love the slim bandeau you paired your beautiful bag with! Great match!
May I ask what the style name is called for the small caviar?A small black caviar bag and a Gabrielle backpack have been on my Chanel wishlist for a while but everytime I popped into the shop, I left empty handed.

I just got a call from Vegas that my black rectangle is ready!!! This is the bag I fell in love with and hoped it to be my first Chanel, but I happened to find another one 2 days ago that I picked up!
Soooo...I had a black rectangle pearl crush on reserve and my friend got a call hers was ready a few days ago. I fell in love with the hardware the first time I saw it, and knew I wanted it as my first Chanel. We reserved them around the same time, so I was hoping mine was coming up too. Fast forward a few days, decided to pop into Nordstrom Seattle to look at mini's and saw this beauty on display! I knew I had to have it so had hubby pick it up for me! She was worth every penny and I'm absolutely infatuated with looking at it! It really is My Perfect Mini!!!
I believe it’s called the “like a wallet” mini flap bag. The ref is AS3002B0728594305
