First red classic flap in 21P red. Couldn't resist getting it when I saw it in the boutique, especially before the price increase.

It’s beautiful, congratulations! Is it red with orangy undertone in real life?

Managed to get 3 difficult to find items from my wishlist

Small caviar CF silver hardware, finally took the sticker off last night! It‘s the exact combo I wanted and my store had a bunch of them so I was able to look at like five. It‘s crazy how different caviars are, even from the same series. The „display“ piece (not really display piece, it was one of those they keep in the closet) actually was the nicest looking (medium grain, more soft caviar) but I ended up going for this one from the back, which has a larger grain but doesn‘t feel dry to the touch. Some of the caviars felt very dry :-/

Received my classic sky blue bag. It next to my 20 C red. It’s beautiful blue. Under sun it does look like sky color.

Received my 20P mini reissue with GHW today. Hard to capture her color as the shade changes depending on the lighting, but she is a true red.

Love those earrings! Can you share the mod shot of the 20A one (left)? I'm thinking of buying it too

Hi.. super awkward picture.. but I hope it helps
Love these earrings, very comfy and understated because of the small size.

i bought the larger one on the right as a christmas present for myself in late december and i was wondering if i should get the one on the left as well. do you think they are too similar to each other to own both? i also have a few other CC studs and i don’t know if both these will be used regularly if i buy the smaller one as well.

Hi.. I guess it totally depends on your personal style.. I find that inspite of the bright gold color, the smaller ones are really understated, plus they are very comfortable.
To be honest, I haven’t worn my larger ones yet, hope I like them as much.
The only similarity between them is the color and lack of crystals. I would suggest that if you find the smaller ones then buy them.. I mean why not..
I’m attaching a picture of all my Chanel earrings.. hope that helps.

I want this exact combo so bad as my first Chanel (I only have Chanel SLG)! I’ve saved enough money for it but not sure yet if I want to spend so much money on a bag... but I think I will regret it if another price increase is coming

Congrats! Where did you get it? I have been asking around with no luck.

I am so excited! Just picked up my new classic Chanel medium caviar flap bag. Got her at Neimans Marcus just before the $300 price increase. Hard to believe I would even spend more than 7k for a bag, thats with tax! But only you guys would understand. Lol
There are a couple of issues I think I am going to ignore. Inside the bag there is a air bubble at the bottom, so the leather doesn’t lay flat. On the right side there is a jut of leather and I also notice when I put her down she tilts a little forward. At the ends of the strap the leather juts out too.
Should I ignore this little imperfections? I already love her!

What do you reckon of the leather on this one - pufiness, shiny vs matte etc.

Oh thank you very much. It’s 20C red and 20 C grey. Brand new, have not even used once. Happy was able to help. Your bag looks normal to me.

Another quick question, my series 30 bag does not have a brand on the zipper head found on the inside flap. does you bag have a zipper brand?
