Hi! I'm looking to get the square mini as my first Chanel bag - eek!! I've been visiting my local stores and calling around to nearby Saks/NM. I'm hearing a rumor that square minis aren't commonly available in the US (I'm based in LA!). Can anyone help confirm or deny this? Are there any pro-tips for a Chanel newbie (me!) to get my hands on a square mini? Thanks so much!
 
Congrats on the score! I am searching for this item and reached out to my sales associate. He said that it’s pretty much impossible right now to obtain without a pre-order. ☹May I ask how you were able to purchase? Thanks in advance !

My SA offered it to me the day after it was released, I was surprised cuz there was no list, it's whatever stock they had that day
 
Hi,
Needing advice...a few years ago I brought a vintage Chanel pink square mini...circa 2003. I've been thinking of selling it because I don't wear pink in my wardrobe. I recently saw this bag on far fetch for around $19,000 and today I checked and it's sold. That price just seems crazy to me because I brought it for $3000...I want to sell it for a fair price but can't find much about the pricing for this bag and obviously I don't have the platform to sell like farfetch does. But I'm just wondering does anyone know the average price they sell at or have any advice about selling at all that could help me and how to price? It'll be appreciated. Feeling clueless :confused1::amuse: thanks
I’ve seen it going for 4000-5000USD in international markets . Hope you get to consign with ease . Farfetch prices seem to be obnoxious lately , not sure why

Minis will come for cruise collection in November, you can expect minis to ship to stores November 1st. Go in the boutique and ask them to sell one to you, when they say sell date is Nov 15th ask them to look if they have already received one, be persistent and try different SA's and boutiques. Good luck! :happydance:
 
I’m so excited to finally be part of the mini club. Was super lucky to obtain one from the 21k collection. But, is it just me? Or, does the leather seem kind of dry, dull and thin this season? At first glance, thought it was faux leather but I know that shouldn’t be the case. View attachment 5208268

I got a burgundy rectangular flap mini from 21K and compared to my mini from 21B, the 21K leather is less buttery soft and does seem a bit “dry” feeling but I don’t mind. On the plus side the 21K quilts are puffier. I got another 21K mini in black arriving next week so I’m going to compare further.

It used to be uncommon, but there are a lot more nowadays! Sometimes certain boutiques will get little to no stock of certain pieces so it could be why they say its not as common, but I have seen a good amount of them the past few seasons. :P

....don't think I am much help, but I was able to score both in the last 2 weeks. I never saw these bag in person, but had seen many reviews online. I went to the Chanel inside NM 2-3 weeks ago.... they pretty much laughed at me in a nice way, but I was also able to find one rec. mini in black ghw the week after inside Saks. another week later called NM and there was one square mini to purchase. Before that had only purchased zipped coin purse. Don't give up. Keep trying. Things are coming in every week at the local boutiques, so keep calling and ask them to send pictures this way you will find a SA that will help you score one.
