Never thought I would get myself 22 but here I am with the cream/ecru/white (whatever you call it ;)) from 23P and the coco necklace.

I am not a 22 fan either but this color is gorgeous. It is a beautiful neutral and I wonder what other styles they made in this color. Would you mind taking a pic of the tag again so I can see the color code? Thank you in advance!

Took a trip downtown to pick up a gift for my husband's birthday yesterday, and peeked inside 2 Chanel stores to see if there were any goodies from 23P. Bought the mini pouch (previous post here) and lucked out at another Chanel boutique! I did fall in love with a patent Chevron bright/neon pink Boy WOC from 23C, but had to pass on it.

Next boutique, I was looking around, one SA greeted me, but didn't offer any help - I was already carrying the Chanel gift bag from the other store so it might have looked like I wanted to do an exchange. Also, was not dressed to the nines, no designer bag/jewelry/makeup etc (I do this on purpose so I don't get mugged). A sweet SA asked if I needed help and I asked to see the light pink heart Flap (could not fit my massive Note 10+ phone so that was a no) and a small black Coco Handle. I then asked her if she had any Mini flaps in stock since that's what I really wanted.

She went to the back stock room or something, came back, took me to the back where the dressing room area was away from the other shoppers and showed me this gorgeous baby :loveeyes: I'm not sure if this is common practice, but felt pretty lucky! My first mini, and first Flap!

Some size comparisons with my GG mini bag and LV Speedy20

I love your shopping story. The last SA probably looked up your shopping records or could tell you were ready for a purchase if shown the right item. She's smart! I like smart SAs.

The last time I was at my local Chanel, I was not dressed properly. I also looked like I have a bunch of questions and wasn't ready for purchase. So I was ignored. Hahaha. Better luck for me next time. :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:

Enjoy your mini in great health! Cheers.

Ahha thank you!! I agree, I like smart SA's too! I mean, I was considering buying the Coco Handle which was like $1400 more than the mini plus tax, but wasn't in love with it. Maybe in the right color! Until next time!
