I like the tweed fabric more. But the teal color is beautiful :noworry:

What do you mewn by giving up on the black? Is it very hard to get in stores? I am thinking about getting my first chanel bag in the 2.55 mini black velvet. Is that even realistic? I live in europe :sad:
I guess it depends where you live, but it is really hard for me to get a black mini with GHW :( Like two years ago I got offered a mini rectangular with silver hardware but it looked so "used" that I declined. Never saw a mini in that boutique again, only a mini with top handle at the beginning of this year :(

I live in Denmark (europe). There is a botique like about 2 hours drive for me but with a bridge fee:confused1: i actually tried to call the boutique but did not answer and i was transferred to their customer service and they did not want to tell anything about their stock and told me to make an appoint and show up psysically if i wanted to know anything.
But i can travel to london? :yucky: Because i really just want 1 chanel and i imagined just the reissue mini in black velvet with GHW and chevron would be nice too. But i dont know if its a season bag..because their website shows so little.

Oh really, i am sorry to hear that. But i think you made the right choice not buying this bag, as i was not quite what you wanted.
 
Is is hard to get the mini flap bag or 2.55 in stores? :confused1:
Yes, it is quite difficult to get any mini nowadays. You have to be very patient to get one in store. I recommend finding a good SA and developing a shopping history and relationship with them as a key to getting one. My SA said there are no more waitlists and it’s a lottery system now. If she comes across one she’ll let me know. I live on an island so it’s hard to get one. I wish you luck in getting a mini.
 
Hello everyone, I have been looking for a mini Chanel for a really long time and now I'm giving up on getting one in the store. Rather than a black one, I want to get a special one as I'm loving fun mini bags. I like blue, dark red and metallic colors. I can't decide though so I've chosen 3 different options. Which one would you pick?

1. Mini rectangular blue tweed
I don't own any tweed bags and love the color! Especially with the silver hardware.

2. Mini square gold with black hardware
Perfect for Christmas & NYE & would be cheaper for me because they are also based in the EU

3. Mini rectangular teal
I'm in love with the color and gold hardware but it's more expensive, esoecially because they are based in the US

So excited to hear which one you would chose! Or would you recommend another one?
This will be my Christmas present for myself so it's extra special. Thank you in advance!
Did you find the mini you wanted? I really hope that you found one you ❤️.

I just saw this in store today. It is in Hong Kong though .
I was waiting for one for a long while but today I planned going there for a medium CF. So I didn’t bring this one home.

I saw this light coral color in my local store recently. It's beautiful. It screams "summer here I come", "vacation time". I love it.

It also comes in a WOC. Very cool with summer dresses.

To the OP: I like teal the best. I simply adore beautiful saturated colors. All the colors actually. Metallics I would worry about wear and changing colors over time, tweed is cool to own, but upkeep again would be a chore, especially if you live somewhere humid.
 
Hello guys,

I am also have been looking for a mini flap but have no luck in store. I found one online, the person whos selling the bag have fullbox & receipt but I am a little worried because I don’t how to authenticate Chanel . The seller has the receipt, the reference # on receipt is the same with the # on the gold plaque. I’m worried because i’ve heard superfakes now have microchip gold plaque too. Can someone give me their opinion on this? should i buy or not buy this?

Nowadays I hear it’s best to have a service dedicated to authenticating look at your bag. Too many good fakes and it’s hard to tell just by photos! Zekos is a popular service.

Thank you. I checked on Zeko’s website and look like they only do authenticate bags with microchip in house. Im planning to pick up the bag this week but having second thought :( Do you think Chanel SA would help scanning the microchip?
