Hi ladies! ok.....today was less crowded there, I sauntered in and was immediately greeted by name (pretty scary, i know 
lol) by the Chanel reps from NY and the Saks SAs -- i got another good look at that beautiful royal blue bag....i have a clearer description: its very soft smushy leather and very light although it qualifies as a large bag (a shoulder bag also)..........its classy looking but not trendy......but its a little edgy...not classic in the same way the Classic Flap is, which is so ladylike. The royal blue is a combination of quilting AND perforations: the front of it has across it, starting at about the center of the bag, a pocket with a narrow rectangular flap closing it, I do believe it closes with the double cc's. the flap extends almost the whole width of the bag. Underneath the flap pocket, there is a zippered compartment. The top part of the front of the bag, underneath where the flap pocket starts, is perforated. Underneath the perforation to the bottom of the bag, is quilting. OMG its gorgeous.
Penny, as for the prognosis of the vinyl on the Naked, the Canel rep said just wipe it down the same way as the vinyl CAbas. It may get scratches but imho, they won't show hardly at all on clear vinyl. The bag is even nicer today to me, than yesterday. Also, its edged in gold metallic piping (bright gold but very narrow because its "piped" around the perimeter of bag), and the piping combined with the classic gold chain with the gold piping also through it, and the gold CC, makes a delicious mix of trendy and classic............i am in love with this bag....
There were alot more bags with perforations than i originally thought, one was yellow, like a smaller classic flap, edged in white with some black. geometric looking. or even Art Deco.
The red is definitely tomato red, not fire engine red. AND THERE WILL BE A DENIM COCO CABAS...they didnt have a sample of it....but even now, the list is loooooooooooooong, without any customers even seeing it. I do not know its cost or size.....or what color the big CC charm will be, but i asked about the color of the denim,,,,it won't be the dark denim of the spring '06 denim line, but rather, a medium denim. Futhermore, I begged for them to sell me off the floor, the Naked Bag, but they said that the samples belong to Saks and travel from trunk show to trunk show. I was so depressed at that, that I promptly went to Neimans (Saks did not have this
and bought the Jumbo flap in winter white!! 
OHHHH ALSO THERE IS CHANEL'S FIRST TIME EVER DIAPER BAG!!!! ITS A CUTE PRINT, BIG OF COURE, I THINK ITS TERRYCLOTH BUT CANNOT REMEMBER, NOT LINED WITH ANYTHING THOUGH.
Is there a CA program? (Chanel Anonymous) If so, i volunteer to be keynote speaker...........................
a pleasure telling you guys this................
thank you also for all the sweet words, i just take notes and memorize stuff LOL
