Does anyone know if either of these two vanity cases are still being sold in Chanel stores and at what price?

Top vanity is around in stores and boutiques. Price for top in Chanel stock threads or price increase threads. Bottom vanity closest style to this came out in this launch. Price will probably be higher if this style comes back in another launch. Screenshot_20230425_135914_Chrome.jpg

I bought my first vanity (with mirror, no top handle, in bronze-y gold) and I have to say I absolutely love it! It wasn't on my radar and I had never considered getting one, but when I visited Vegas for a friend's baby shower, hubby encouraged me to browse the Chanel boutique (such an enabler haha). One thing led to another when I asked to check out any iridescent bags they had and the SA brought out a vanity. It's a perfect-for-me evening bag because it carries my many "essentials" and fits my iPhone. I wore it to a multi-day wedding last week and got so many compliments.

I agree with the cons other people mentioned - you need both hands to open or close the bag and you can't leave it open. But the pros outweigh the cons for me.

Thanks so much for sharing your insight! ☺️
 
I'm late to the game, but I did not like any of the boxy ones from the past few years. I just got this one, which is very easy to use in my opinion.

Pros: Flat and close to the body, spacey for it's size, relative inexpensive compared to other Chanel models, exterior beautifully made.
Cons: I don't really like the interior fabric lining. It feels cheap.

I'm very interested in this new vanity style. Congrats!
I like that it's not so boxy. Is the zipper easy to open and close?
Could you post a mod shot please?

Looks super cute! I'm also super interested in this new style! How's the capacity? Does it fit the phone, glasses and keys?

The zippers are easier to open than the Loro Piana L19 (if that helps at all). I woke up with a stiff neck 3 days ago and my body still hasn't fully recovered yet. I'll post the mod pics when I can.

Hope you recover soon! If possible, could you also post a pic of the inside after you put in all your necessity? I am also using calvi and zflip so I am very interested in this bag! TIA!

It's gonna be a long time. Turns out it wasn't a stiff neck. After 2 days in the ER, I now know that I have severe multiple disc herniation and I need surgery. Will update you guys and send pics when I can.

I’m so sorry to hear this. Wishing you a smooth surgery and a speedy recovery. Please take care, and keep us posted if you’re able. Sending you my best! ❤️

So I decided to go on a very short walk today. (Doctor's orders) It was an excuse to use this bag and get you your photos. It's about 60% full and can fit my phone & probably some mints as well 🤪

I would love to purchase this style, but I was told it's completely sold out. :sad: I am wondering if they are going to repeat it...

Thank you. Yeah, it's sold out. You should ask your SA when the next collection will come in. Mine told me the date two weeks in advance (FYI, this bag was my first ever purchase from him as I haven't bought anything from Chanel for more than a decade), and I went on day 2 of release to get it.
