They have a new warranty plan called 'Chanel & Moi', which provides 5 years warranty on handbags now. First time heard about this, may due to the Chanel 22 issues.
Today I called up Chanel re a few patent items that I own and have gone awry. From her precise explanation, warranty covers hardware and stitching.

Went into the store to pick up the black hobo. Then had to get the silver vanity. So cute!!

Great purchases. How roomy is the black hobo? What can you fit inside? It looks very functional.

Congratulations! I’m loving backpacks now and really like the Duma and the new Duma (?) (backpack with two pockets on the front from this season). I have always wondered how much the mini can fit compared to LV palm spring.
oh I have the LV palm spring mini too. I would say that LV can fit slightly more due to the top part of the bag being rounder. Having the zip closure does help as well :)

The hobo is very roomy. Fits more than a mini rectangular flap. It had a back pocket for my phone and front flip turn lock for small things. The main compartment fits wallet sunglasses snacks for my kids. The blue color is smaller and the top magnetic button can’t close without the bag being squished.

Finally added the classic flap in medium to my collection, after thinking about it for years. Was considering getting a new one from the boutique at some point but the crazy prices gave me pause. Unexpectedly came across a preloved one from 2010 in quite good condition and decided to pull the trigger, even if what I paid was still many times the price it went for back then!

Love how puffy and shiny the caviar is, despite being more than 10 years old :love:

And here she is next to her slightly older sibling, a jumbo flap from 2008. The jumbo’s caviar feels more rigid and less soft. Both caviars are beautiful in their own way but I guess it’s true the leather can vary season to season?

My 23p dark beige mini top handle. This was such an impulsive purchase and a part of me wishes I would’ve waited to buy this in black but it’s really pretty! I definitely caught a lot of girls staring at my bag in soho this past weekend

The dark beige is EVERYTHING. You can always get a black later.
Btw, your dog is gorgeous and looks so much like my favorite dog I had as a kid. Her name was Lucia.

Picked up this 23C CF in light grey lambskin. Has undertones of blue and green in the grey. Love it but super worried about the durability of lambskin in such a light color. I am careful with my bags and baby them. Only planning to use it with light color clothes. What are your thoughts?

I had a Chanel 19, lambskin, in the exact color. Let's just say I am not careful at all with my bags and only wear black or denim. I did not experience any color transfer.

Thank you! I think the beige was a good choice as well. I think I felt unsure because the black can be difficult to find especially in square but also I don’t come by beige minis often either so I just got lucky.
My dog’s name is Luna and she’s the sweetest! Obsessed with her
