I was recently at the Orlando Chanel store (I'm from Vancouver canada) I went on october 30th and fell in love with the plum lambskin jumbo. As I asked the SA to ring in the bag she said I could prepay for it today and pick it up on nov3. My mind was sooo blown. I prepaid for it obviously cause where else am I going to get a plum jumbo again? Let's be serious!
I told the SA I was on vacation and was leaving to Miami on the fourth so she asked her manager to switch the pick up date to november 2nd. When I finally went to pick up the lambskin jumbo I asked the sa why this absurd new rule was implicated because if I didnt go shopping before November I probably wouldn't have been able to purchase my Chanel! She answered that the rule was placed in September to "protect the brand" she said it's to stop the Chanel classics to be as common as LV bags. Now there will be a limited amount of classic flaps and reissue bags being sold each month, making Chanel a more "Exclusive Brand"
After digging around the forums gymangel812 mentioned that her SA said they were trying to be more like Hermes and the classics will be harder to find and be on a "Reserve" system.
Just wanted to know what everyone thinks about the new Chanel rule. Do you think this rule will "Protect their Brand?" Or you think Chanel should get off their high horse.
