Hello dears,

Has anyone bought the Mini in Metallic Gray with RHW from 21B. It’s supposed to look like this? I read on the Forum, it’s not such a great idea to get metallics. On the other hand, I read on the internet, that metallics are easy and long wearing? I am confused and in the need of a gray tone Mini... please please help....Does anyone have experience with Chanel metallic calfskin, and would like to share their feedback please?

Hi all! New here. Would love to hear your thoughts as I've come across a local re-seller (I live in the Philippines) and found a mini rectangular flap in CAVIAR GHW but with series 30XXXXX card, the owner said she bought this in Spain 2020. I've read that Chanel has already stopped producing Caviar minis since 1-2 years ago, but the local bag reseller store is reputable and confirms it is authentic. Photos attached below. Question: did they release caviar minis in 2020 and or is it possible this is an old stock (but how come the card is 30XX...). Appreciate your advise, ladies! First time to get a Chanel bag so not really well-versed on these matters. Thank you :heart:

Recently there has been posts circulating on IG that this seller sells superfakes. There was back and forth drama on IG about this. Good thing you reached out w/in this community for added research. Now I feel bad for those buyers who have been duped of purchasing a super fake :(
 
@Blindii, I found my receipt and color does say Burgundy. The hardware is light gold; so subtle that it looks silver in certain lighting. I think my SA described the hardware as “Champagne” in color. I bought it in July 2019. I attached a close up picture for your reference.

My apology… I looked at the picture/receipt I had on file and remembered it as a champagne color, but it is actually burgundy with silver hardware. I think the champagne looking hardware is from more recent collections. I took the purses out from storage today and saw my mistake. Sorry about that.:blush:

Fake, the last classic mini in caviar is 26 series from 18B collection. This past 21S I have to check my top handle mini tag they released another caviar but with top handle. JFYI

Hi all. Has anyone got a black lambskin mini SHW from the 21B collection? If you have, does your screws look like stars? I was wondering when Chanel started using these star looking screws and this kind of font. Usually I see flat screws with a line straight across. I got this in the Chanel boutique just when the 21b collection launched.
