Hello ladies! I couldn't believe it - I finally got my hands on the small CCH in burgundy from the 20K!! It's been ordeal trying to get hold of this one. I'm based in the UK and according to many of the Chanel SAs I've spoken to, they have been terribly affected with the stock of bags they're receiving due to the lockdown.
So anyways, it all started in Aug I believe when I started calling the boutiques enquiring about the burgundy bag. As the months went by, mid Sept to October, I found myself calling the boutiques almost everyday (I know but what can I do - I really want the bag. The hunt is real! haha). Also most of them told me to just keep trying and call everyday as they receive new stocks Mon - Fri. I kept on getting different responses from each boutique - some said they've completely sold out, some said I have to go the waiting / reserve list. By early Nov, I even managed to head into London (exactly a week before they went into lockdown) and they told me that even though they ordered the bag, it would never arrive as they're now getting ready to receive the new cruise collection, and that I would have to wait for years for the colour to come back as Chanel doesn't usually repeat the same colour. So by then my hope was crushed and I thought maybe it is not meant to be.
Fast forward to Thursday last week, I received a text from one of the SAs who happened to be picking up the telephone every time I rang in (which was everyday HAHA). I remember him taking down my details but honestly, I wasn't expecting much as I have never purchased anything from him or Chanel before. So he texted me on Thursday and said, "Hello Madam, we just received the burgundy CCH today. It is the only piece we received and only size small. Please let me know if you're still interested." And I just went


"YES PLEASEEEE." He sent me pictures of the bag from all angles, all sides including the bottom of the bag. I went ahead to proceed with payment over the phone, everything went smoothly, he said he'll ship the bag 1st thing on Fri morning & that the bag should arrive by Mon / Tues.
Monday came and I received the bag!! It is just beyond stunning! My SA was right, it is the perfect burgundy. He knew I was worried about it being too brown or too cool tone, but this burgundy is just right. Just when I had lost all hope and gave up on ever owning a burgundy CCH, it came right through my door. Totally worth the struggle and wait.
1st picture is the one that my SA sent me that made my heart skipped beats.
PS. sorry for the long post, just super duper excited to receive my 1st ever Chanel bag & want to share my story
