Hi all,
I hope someone can help me with this. It has been a long time ago since I bought my last Chanel bag, so I am not really up to date with new colours anymore.
With all the price increases, I didn't think I would buy another Chanel bag again, especially because Chanel doesn't offer spa treatments where I live.
However, the unthinkable happened when I was travelling last week.
While visiting Chanel to have a look at the shoes, a Reissue caught my eye.
I fell in love with the shade of green, but at the end I didn't buy it because I am supposed to save for something else .
But, since I am back home I have been thinking about this Reissue since I love the shade of green so much.
I did several searches on Purse Forum, looked on Ebay, but couldn't find any pictures of it.
It's a darker shade of green, looks a bit like emerald green, very pretty IMO.
It's distressed leather with ruthenium hardware. Size 227.
I guess it's from the F/W collection, but I am not sure. In the search I did on PF, I saw people talking about a green Reissue for F/W, but I couldn't find any pictures, so not sure if this is the same shade of green.
My questions:
- Does anyone have pictures of this bag and maybe the article number? Pictures would be really helpful as I can't remember the exact shade of green anymore, so pictures would help to make my decision.
- Does it only come in 227 size, or does it come in 226 size as well?
- What's your experience with distressed leather, does it show corner wear easily? I don't have any bag in distressed leather yet, so would love to hear about your experience.
I really like the color, but my biggest fear is that it would look very worn on the corners after a while and that I can't do anything about it. With Hermès, you can send a bag to the spa when a bag shows corner wear and they will fix it for you.
But Chanel doesn't offer that kind of service here in Europe where I live. I think they accept a bag for repair, but not for touching up the corners.
- Did Chanel a Reissue in the past in a similar emerald green color?
Thank you so much in advance !
