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...
A big congrats to you, Lacquerista that your gorgeous baby arrived safe and sound from the other side of the world! Glad that I was able to help! Enjoy her in good health!

Thank you so much for the help
She’s been on a wild ride, that’s for sure!
Got this by chance. The CA in Bellagio told me that it wasn't on reserve, so yehey for me!
Congratulation on joining the mini club!
I was considering this mini but not sure, would you be able to share a mod shot?
TIA!
Sorry for the crappy mod shots

This is my favorite color this season. I have aways wanted the rainbow hardware. I think I am going to get it. Is there any SLG's that match it?
