I have been saving up for a Chanel bag since I started my first job in June of 2010, when my tax return comes I will FINALLY have enough [figuratively, I have the money physically, haha], BUT I just read that the prices will be going up on February 1st....NOOOO!!!! So I have some (stupid) questions...I've searched on the forum but I haven't been able to find all of my answers so I figured I would just post all the questions in on place. :shame:
1. Did anyone find out what the increase will be on the Medium and Jumbo bags in the US? (I still don't know all the Chanel lingo...)
2. Should I get the Medium or Jumbo Classic Flap? (A0112, A28600 or A58600) I'm thinking Medium is more versatile (and a bit cheaper) so I should go with that. And I want gold hardware and Caviar (unless someone thinks silver is better).
3. What color should I get? I always come back to black, since it's classic, but would it be better to get a different color since this will probably be my only Chanel bag? I have a magazine clipping where Karlie Kloss is holding a GORGEOUS maroon one, but I don't even know if they make that one anymore. I have no idea what the current colors are (Chanel newbie as I said before)
4. Do I need to call the store I'm going to to see if they have the bags in stock? I'll have to drive a while to get there so I don't want to go for nothing.
5. This one is REALLY stupid...do they offer ways to finance buying the purse? I have the money but the limit on my credit card is 3,000...not enough for a Chanel and I would rather not use my debit card of a check (if they even take those) because I want to get bonus points with my card... [I will probably be going to a Saks or Neimans unless I feel like going to a Chanel store in NYC]
6. Another really stupid one...do you pay tax on a Chanel bag/what would the tax be in New York? I looked and I think it will be 4% but I'm not sure... I'll probably go to the Neiman Marcus in White Plains. If I got it here (CT) it would be 6.035%
And actually, now that I think of it...do ANY of the major stores sell Chanel online, I can't seem to find it but some people on here have mentioned buying from NM/Saks online, so I'm confused...I also read that you can put the NM catalog number online and it will allow you to buy Chanel online, the only problem is I don't have a NM catalog so I don't know the codes...
Thanks so much guys! And sorry to be so annoying!
I'm thinking I might go next Saturday before the prices go up even though my tax return hasn't come yet, ha ha...
