They actually have it in Caviar now too. The Caviar costs $1585 if I recall correctly. I saw one today at the Chanel store in Manhasset. Almost bought it too, but was told not to because it seems there's going to be one under my Christmas tree!

This is a new size releasing the past Spring/Summer 2009 I believe.

You can call that mini E/W....only lambskin is offered at the moment!

More details you can find from this thread: http://forum.purseblog.com/chanel/who-is-getting-new-mini-raise-your-hand-480567.html A couple TPFers got this new flap~

Ceci, I am such a newbie and I see your name all over this site. So, I just figured that you had a ton of chanel bags. I have a black/gold GST, beige/gold GST, 09A dark red caviar maxi/gold, and just got the blue roi caviar jumbo. Now, that I have ventured into chanel....I don't want to use any of my louis vuittons. I do admire you with all of your nice clothes, I have checked out alot of your pictures.

You make me :blushing:... I see you are into bigger bags...but I'm the opposite ;)
 
Yes....I am having a difficult time adjusting to the roi jumbo. I wish I would have waited for the maxi....but I was too scared to miss out! I am such a computer idiot, I don't know how to put your previous message in a box like you are doing mine. Please don't laugh.

I also have difficult time adjusting to the roi jumbo as well...even though mine is from 09P...it's too big & heavy but it fits a lot indeed...I believe this will probably my last & own jumbo...I will get other sizes that I don't own, ie the small 9" classic, E/W, mini E/W & other reissues except 225 in different types of leather & colors....Oh well...not all at the same time...but I still have lots of time...I will wait for the one that I really love :amuse:
 
Well, I am having a hard time with the jumbo because it is too snall. I love my maxi. The two GST's I could do without. However, I did not know enough about chanel when I got them. They are classics and I will still use them. Maxi is my favorite.

Thanks for your help. Finally figured this out.
 
Oooooo this is a super cute size. Me loves. Is this what I have seen referred to as "elongated flap" or something along those lines? Anyone know the strap length relative to the others??

Is there a baby flap or the baby is the mini? Which one is this in the pic?
