Your bag is gorgeous!!!
I paid a lot for my re-issue as well. We don't have a Chanel store where I live, so I had to make a ton of phone calls to find one. I really helpful member here (Rose!) told me where she had seen one and gave me her SA's phone number.
I'm in Canada, and by the time it came from the U.S. I had paid over $400 more for taxes and duty, so the final price was quite high, but I love my bag, so I just dealt with that. I know I'll carry it for years, so the "cost per wear" makes it worth the extra money.
Enjoy your bag! CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Interesting. From her pictures the bag doesn't look like the metallic black however - but maybe it is? I saw the black metallic in person and it looks a lot different from the distressed calfskin.
post for the photo will you??
I am bumping this to see if the mystery about the year and season of this reissue has been figured out. Does the box go with this beautiful reissue, which per the label appears to be a fall 2007 bag? It is gorgeous and I would love to find it in a 227.
Congrats on your bag Shiny_hair... especially since you have been searching for one re-issue for the longest time.
very beautiful. enjoy!!
Okay.. Ladies this is what I founded about this bag that shiny_hair is sooo lucky to have (by the way Shiny_hair--- it is amazing!) It is a Chanel Boutique exclusive (not available at Saks, Bloomies, Nemans etc...) it's from the 07A, and guesss what?.... I got the last one at the Chanel Boutique (here in California, that was my sa told me) so it is from the 07A!, I will get it tomorrow and will post picture picture and yes it does look like shiny_hair and black too. I'm so happy!!!!!

Yes I knowwww, I LOVE her!! She remembered me asking about it like MONTHS ago and called me today, also because there was a 10% rebate with some credit card only for today (which incidentally I couldn't get cos I got rid of the card a year ago BOO). Isn't she sweeeet? Her name is Anthea, you HAVE to go to her. I'm sooo happy I got this one cos 227 would definitely look a bit too big for my skinny frame. Help I can't post pics!! It says my file size is too big
I own the one in size 227 and I'm glad I did because it's so roooomy! I have the cream caviar medium flap classic bag and it's so small I can barely fit anything in. I paid SGD4600 for size 227! Blah, totally overpriced I'd say.
