I started this thread in relation to this topic and got great suggestions on how to get hard to get unicorns straight from the boutique. I already contacted my SA and had her put my name down for a bag.
Hello all, I apologize if this is question was already asked. When I started this thread, I tried to find similar questions but was not successful. Sorry for the long post! I was just in love with the 21p caramel color but when I called my SA (this was after it was launched on the website)...

I agree with you 100%! I am very frustrated on how this is happening and how even Chanel is allowing it. I guess there is not much they can do but just keep increasing prices so that it gets harder for resellers to sell it. But this doesn't stop from a lot of people to keep buying from resellers. There are some popular Youtubers who openly say that they have bought from personal shoppers and they the shoppers get even more attention. Like today, Vivser youtuber said she bought the caramel Chanel 19 from a personal shopper. I bet this shopper already got a lot of requests.
It is not just personal shoppers. Even some regular customers will buy them and then change their minds after which they decide to sell the bag on their own with a premium when they can easily return it back. In US, the return policy is 14-30 days depending on the store. I came across a person recently in a FB group who was selling the caramel Chanel 19 bag just because she decided it was not the color she wanted after all. I can never think of something like this and plus go through the stress of selling it to a complete stranger.
I would use personal shoppers to buy vintage bags or bags from past seasons which I understand but selling current seasonal bags at premium is atrocious! I agree with PPs, dont buy from them. Dont encourage them.
