....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.

Hi everyone! I’m new here. If you were choosing your very first Chanel bag what would you go with? The mini or the small in caviar? I’m having trouble deciding and finding both :sad:

I know i will be in the minority here but i would go with classic flap in small .. it is a classic and well worth the hype .. although fits thesame amount of stuff as mini rectangle..

If you're going for a mini in caviar, which is tagged to a premium now they have discontinued that, then I'd rather buy a brand new small cf from the boutique. Some of the caviar mini prices are insane!!

Hi everyone, this may seem like a weird request but will someone be so kind to share some photos of the Chanel wording inside their mini square flaps purchased this year (the version with the microchip)?

I recently bought one from a re-seller at a premium because it’s just so hard to get in store and I got tired of waiting. When I came home and compared this bag to my rectangular mini which I bought instore back in 2016, the wordings from my mini square looks a bit skinnier??? Which is making me very worried that I may have bought a fake bag......

The person who sold this bag to me said this was only purchased a couple of weeks back in September and I double checked that the microchip serial number on the receipt did indeed match the serial number on the microchip inside the bag. But the slight difference in the Chanel wording between my rectangular mini (bought in store) and my current mini square is making me very anxious.

Oh and I also compared the size of the box that it came in -it seemed just a wee bit bigger than my rectangular mini. And the camellia flower also had a smooth surface rather than the textured fabric one that came with my rectangular mini. And also, the paper bag felt a bit diff? It felt slightly thinner and had a matte texture. Am I over analyzing this? Ahh I’m just so worried!

Thank you in advance to anybody who is willing to share their photos!

Don't have my bag with me atm, but I can provide some information on the camelia flower - they changed it, into a sort of hardback paper material. I've got the new flowers from my other purchases. Someone mentioned it in other threads that it was an environmental thing
