How are you enjoying this? I’m considering it. May I know the price. I’m wondering if this is the small or large? Enjoy!!!

I'm also thinking of getting those sneakers! Do they come with spare white shoe laces? thanks!
Added a couple of slg’s to the collection
Honestly, I haven't used it yet!!! I just tried once at stand-alone boutiques and love it. But, I like its simply chic design, easy to match or highlight your outfit that's the reason I purchased it.
I take the small (USD$3400+tax) If u want to see how the larger size looks like, u can check on IG-marcihirshleifer, she carries the large size. And I think a large size more practical use, either on shoulder or hand carry. Hope this helps...

My first Chanel bag! 
It arrived from BG today. Can't wait to wear it this weekend, even if it's just for grocery shopping, lol.

Wanted to share my new shiny baby - the blue sequin 19! 
Shoutout and massive thank you to Nat74 for helping me track this baby down.
I live in a country without a Chanel store, the nearest being a 2-hour plane trip across the ocean, so I usually have to buy it on my travels, or at the mercy of local personal shoppers who are based abroad. I sent out price requests for this bag... and they were charging an exorbitant mark-up, which made me initially decide not to get it.
But she’s just so beautiful and I couldn’t get her out of my head, so I decided to turn to the ISO thread, just in case! I’ve been reading stories of you guys getting your Chanels shipped to your addresses in the States, so I thought I’d try my hand.
Lo and behold, Nat74 told me that the NM in SF had it on display, so I sent the SA an email, telling him of my predicament. To my relief, he was not put off by my um, sheer enthusiasm, lol. Also I live in Asia, so I had to do my interactions with him at 6:30AM my time, 2:30 SF time.
I had it shipped to my forwarder in the States (I really kept a close eye on the Fedex tracker because Farfetch very recently just lost a pair of Margiela jeans I ordered -_-) and two weeks later, she was delivered to our house, box and camellia and ribbon and all.
Funnily enough, I spotted her in the side mirror while I was backing into the garage. Apparently our helper put the box on top of a bigger box in the garage, but I had stared enough times at the photo of it that the forwarder had sent to just know that it was THE BOX. In my giddiness, I inadvertently started shrieking, startling my mom. Please remember that I was backing my car into the garage, so my mom had thought that I went into a temporary bout of sanity, lol
Anyway, she’s here! I can finally stop looking at her so longingly wherever I can catch a glimpse of her on the internet...
Next on my list, those cute scrunchies with the bow... Now that I have an SA on my Whatsapp, this is proving to be very dangerous territory...

Such a great story! Really happy for you and how lovely of Nat74 helping out, enjoy your new beauty!
this teal color is so beautiful! Can you please share the code and color name on the tag? Thank you!January has been a stressful month. I blew a year’s worth of budget le hubby gave for presents on my long awaited mini rectangular classic flap, then went on an impulsive purchase for a teal small classic flap (yes, this is my first!) ahead of the price increase (prices has not increased in Singapore yet) three days later. I would have gotten the small classic flap in black and gold hardware had it been available but it was already out of stock (there was stock when I picked my mini up but I didn’t know of the impending price increase until later but it was too late since classic flap in black and gold always gets sold out on the same day the stock comes in) and also, both my SA and hubby told me to get something other than black because that’s all I ever buy (I’m sure everyone here can relate why! Sometimes men just don’t get it!). Saw the cute taxi brooch on markdown and also picked it up, along with new slippers that I intend to wear during the upcoming Chinese New Year. Overall, it was a pretty intense month of spending and I pretty much have to chop my hands off to prevent any further purchases this year!
