Hi everyone! I’m planning on buying my first Chanel bag - a black rectangular mini and possibly a cardholder. I’ll be in Las Vegas in a couple weeks and plan on visiting the Chanel locations there as there isn’t a stand alone Chanel where I live. From other threads in this forum, I’ve read about how hard it is to find this particular bag and the waitlists. In another thread someone mentioned they got on a waitlist a few weeks ago for a black mini. Are waitlists only for people who have purchase history with Chanel? Also, I’d love to hear your experiences and any advice he about which Las Vegas Chanel boutiques to visit first in terms of where people have gotten lucky in finding what they wanted, customer service experience, etc. thanks in advance!

How did it go for you? Were you able to find your mini? I'm sorry I'm only responding now, so I'm not sure if it will help. I've had luck in finding rectangle minis without needing to be on the waitlist, but in seasonal colors. Hope you had good luck!

Really considering a mini. But still considering the color I should get and if I should get it.

1) I have the black caviar GHW small CF I just got in January, would it be too crazy to get a mini in the same color and hardware?
2) does anyone know the upcoming colors for mini?
3) would you recommend the mini rectangle or square? Pearl crush or regular?

Thank you! :)

In that case, mini sq with pearl crush since you have CF already. =)

I’m a bit biased but definitely think you should get a mini!!!

I was in the same situation as you, I had a black caviar GHW small classic flap but wanted a more casual bag and was lucky that a SA offered me the black LGHW mini rectangular earlier this year!!

I think they are very different bags and you will get use out of both even if you buy the same colour. I am now lusting after another mini in a fun colour!

Thanks! No luck in finding a black mini but I was able to get a black classic card holder at NM and put my name on the waitlist there. All the SA’s at the stand alone boutiques told me they got rid of waitlists for their really popular bags about a month ago.

I adore minis! I am hoping that the future seasons will have a square mini. I’ve been waiting for a couple of years for right color combo to come along.

Here’s my 21K 2.55 Mini in purple and 22S Pearl Crush Rectangular Mini in black from my local stand alone. I still have yet to wear them.

When is for next season drop date? I guess I’ll be calling store to store to try finding a mini as my store doesn’t offer holds and now does a lottery system I’ve been waiting forever and the mini will cost close 5,000+ by the time I’m drawn for one

Does anyone have tips in securing a mini rect in black?

I live in SoCal and the stores near me are giving priority to their waitlists first with no option to join the list. Are other areas the same? I am wondering if I should try to get the contact info from SAs in other states but is it common practice to ship to customers out of state?

Hi everyone! I saw a mini rectangular black lambskin with silver hardware with burgundy leather interior. I believe the most recent release of this was 17b which would be a 23 or 24 series. Is it possible to have a 25 series? The one I saw had a 25xxx. Thanks!!

I have the same two bags!! I really wonder about the square - always seems so small to me but it’s popular around here!
