That’s assuming your store has one for you to buy.

I’m a pretty good client and my success rate is about 50% with finding things I want to buy actually available when I want to buy them.

Yeah, but I’d still wait for one to come in stock instead of buying a used mini for the same price off fashionphile. Are they that hard to get?

all of mine are older or vintage because I wanted that real gold in the hardware, so I’ve never purchased from the boutique. But I totally would if the used price was more than the boutique price! All my used bags were cheaper than retail.

this is the brand that manufactured the water bottles for Chanel:

Porter Water Bottle

Upgrade hydration with the sleek, simple Porter Glass Water Bottle (20oz). Constructed from durable, lightweight glass with a protective silicone sleeve & twist-off cap, this reusable bottle is a sustainable swap for disposable plastic bottles & metal canteens. Made from BPA-free glass, so it...

like the Chanel bottle says it’s made by W&Pdesign. Considering this, the markups by resellers are insane.

Sorry but I’ve got a little rant about this topic. I’ve been following this account on Instagram that would help consign bags and all for reasonable prices. This account would also help you to source a bag if you needed help. It all seemed pretty good, honest, and reasonable which I really liked/appreciated … But today is the first time I ever saw them post a story about taking pre-orders for next season. Along with more photos of items available to order. I mean isn’t this just a blatant reselling for profit? Unfortunately I’ve seen this person in store before since we’re located in the same area and I guess they’re a VIP since they manage to score the “it” color cf every season. I find this so unfair to the rest of us that are just trying to buy our first dream bags. Where I am located there are only 2 or 3 boutiques and the SAs I have spoken to all agree that it is “extremely competitive” to purchase a bag. And we all know the famous lines “we’re only getting 2 or 3 of those bags…” I find all this so infuriating! I don’t think any of Chanel’s tactics (like price increases :annoyed:) are working against resellers and it doesn’t seem like they care that much (I could understand why).:yucky: I wish there was a better system. Ok rant over- thank you tpf and moderators/members for this space to have talks like these.:heart:

Fashionphile has a mini caviar rectangle for $7k. Who would buy that? Isn’t one of the reasons the mini is so popular is that it’s a cheaper alternative to the small CF? Not at $7k it isn’t!

I’m sure someone who doesn’t know any better will still buy though.
