HM I think if any variation is OK, it might work. My boutique in Europe had a fabric one on display to sell. I think if you have a specific color in mind, it might be harder. I think the green was very popular. I got the dark red denim one, they had it shipped for me, but I also bought the matching jacket so that might help. I think it is a really great bag, fits your phone, the option of handheld and crossbody. I hope you find something. I also thought the new doctor bag was very innovative.

I think it's only the Black Ghw that's really hard and it's on interest list basis. Having said that, I've never seen any other colors in the leather variation so far and we only have 2 Chanel independent stores.

I worked with 2 SAs from each store; 1 SA is more senior and already has so many established clients - when I casually asked for it, she flatly told me that it's REALLY difficult as she still has a long list of clients waiting for it and have missed the previous 2 seasons. Whilst the other SA (whom I sense more junior but I have more purchase records with) only told me that she just included me into the interest list and likely have to wait for 2 more seasons for my turn.

I am not into trendy bags but let's see if the call is going to be ever materialised. During my last visit, my (more junior) SA showed me 2 of them made in fabric/denim which I politely declined given fabric/denim is harder to maintain.

thank you both for your feedback—honestly would love this in red, but will just have to be at the right place at the right time!

I think it depends, the little baby ones are easier to find and I have even seen them displayed. But the regular small size is more difficult if you are looking for a leather version. I am a frequent shopper and have a great SA- she just can’t get me the black after the season has already started. I should have asked 2 months ago. I think there is only one more season of this bag being made - and she told me that the basic blacks are already spoken for. That being said she did find me a raspberry that’s beautiful.
Maybe you will have better luck but this bag is a bit tougher IMO!

Am I the only one who loves the tiny slg one? I don’t know why I’m so drawn to it because it’s crazy small but it just makes me swoon lol. I find the mini size hangs too long on me.

I’ve been offered a black leather with ghw by my SA today but I’m hesitant as I feel like I’m probably throwing a lot of money at something that is just a silly fad. Would buying it be a bad decision? Is it insane to spend that money just because you think it’s cute? 😬

Maybe the color you desire makes a difference. I reached out to one of my SA’s that I haven’t used in a long time about a brown mini coco handle and he replied he didn’t have it but offered me the brown Kelly. I turned it down.

I just go in asking for any mini size, I don't even mind the color and nobody is willing to even help me or answer if they're getting more on the 23rs.

I haven't been able to find the Kelly anywhere near me. I tried three stores. 😭 It's just so adorable, but I refuse to pay the scalper markup on resale sites. I suppose I'll just have to admire them from afar... 😍

I think it would be pretty difficult to find one in store unless there are still shipments pending. The last collection launched over 6 weeks ago and they were pretty much all available at the launch date. As far as I’m aware the only colour that’s pending delivery is the light pink one.

Do you know when that one will
Be released?

I was at the Chanel Soho store late last month, and they only had the SLG version. It was the tiniest thing ever.
I visited my local boutique a week later, and they, too, only had the tiny version.

yes I've seen the SLG version at a few stores but I'm looking for the mini size.
