I feel your pain on this!! I have been searching for a Mini Rectangle in Caviar since the season after they discontinued them. It's been 5 years and I still have hope that they may bring them back some day but I cringe thinking about where Chanel may price them (much much closer to the small classic flap I fear). I ask every SA that I have run across from Chanel and each one has a different opinion or theory as to the removal of the minis in Caviar (one even told me they weren't very popular!
) I am a mini bag person for sure and I have a seasonal camera bag from 2022 in Black Caviar that I really love. Also the Classic Black WOC is a great choice and you can really use and abuse that bag; I have had mine for years and it really looks new still and fits quite a bit. If the Mini Caviar is what you want it does come up on the secondary market just be prepared to pay a premium plus especially Black or a rare color. I managed to find one finally this month on the second hand market and it is pristine so no regrets! Crossing my fingers for you!!Attachments
Dear ladies, I would like to seek opinion, I have both mini Pearl crush and classic mini. I’m looking to sell one as they look similar. Which should I sell?
Not sure if I will regret it as both are hard to get items.

Honestly keep both unless you absolutely need the money. They are both hard to find and are already much more expensive than they used to, so you might not even be able to find one again and may have to pay more for it now.
If you have to sell one I would sell the pearl crush. Classic mini is my favourite 😊
Never like pearl crush. Heavier than mini and the chain bothers me.
I use chain shortener for my minis.

I'm not a big fan of the pearl crush, I don't like how dull (in terms of lustre) the chain looks. What colours are they?
I bought bunch of Chanel bags from 2015 through 2018 and sold most of them. I only kept mini rectangular, classic medium and chevron boy; they are all in black caviar. I am glad I bought them five years ago because I don't wish pay Chanel prices what they are charging nowI feel your pain on this!!

Help me pick!
Been wanting to add a mini 2.55 forever, tried 23p peachy beige, green, none of those worked.
I recently got these 2 and wanted to make a decision between them 2 ( or should I try my luck to get the purple 2.55 in 24p?)
For reference:
Red bags - the one here is from 19k, dark pink. I have a true red boy WOC, a burgundy rec mini (pearl crush)
Blue bags - the one here is baby blue from 22p. I have a navy boy WOC
I think adding a red is a bit redundant (since I already have a rec mini in burgundy and red WOC), though this dark pink is so beautiful and sophisticated, and I can see myself wearing it as I age. The calfskin is also a bit more aged, it weighs lighter too.
The baby blue is beautiful, it might look a bit cheap IMHO comparing to the dark pink. It goes better with my wardrobe (I have mostly black white grey navy), and fill in the gap for light color bags in my collection. The calfskin is puffier (I have no preference tbh).

Hi All!! I am trying to find the mini rectangular since a long time now. I live in NYC and have visited most of the boutiques. All i have heard is they have stopped taking waitlist and only way to get is just to drop by and try out luck. Can anyone help with any SA point of contact who can help me in?
