Oh no!!!! Yeah I'm really frustrated too. Wish we could at least go on a wait list! I emailed Harrods again today but they haven't responded yet. I'm going to try again after Xmas if I have no joy because hopefully stocks will have recovered slightly.
 
Hi! New here on the Chanel part of the forum! I’m looking to purchase my first Chanel, I have fallen in love with the pearl crush mini but it is a tough one to get my hands on :( I was offer the pearl crush WOC, in the same color combo I was looking for in the mini! Do you guys think it’s worth it to grab the pearl crush WOC? Is this a hard to get piece normally? I do really love the look of it , and turn lock and the pearl balls adjustability! And it is in the color combo I’m lusting after! I am worried about the lambskin but I do think it’s sooo beautiful! I’ve attached some photos the SA sent! I have h tho this afternoon to decide ! Any input would be greatly appreciated!

I think pearl crush pieces are hard to get in general! I'm not sure if there is a caviar/pearl crush combo though? The WOC looks beautiful!

yes!! I was feeling this way! So I’m really thinking I should jump on this opportunity? I don’t think it comes in caviar unfortunately:( but it’s soo pretty ! I know I’ll just have to be super careful, but it does help it’s black!

It seems like you really like this combo and I think it is a good alternative if you can’t get your hands on a mini. There are several reviews on youtube comparing the wocs with mini in terms of capacity, I think that is the only thing you need to consider. But other than that, if you have no issue with the capacity, I would say go buy it since you love the combo too much to let it go.

Dont feel pressured to buy the bag. Buy only if you really love it and find yourself using it in future. If your heart is set on the mini, the WOC may not fill the void. But I understand it is difficult to get the mini. Is there any chance of your SA able to get the mini? If yes, then wait for the mini. If you are in the US, I have seen a few pop up on the Boutique stock thread in Chanel shopping sub forum.

I do prefer WOCs as they sit flat against my body which means less bumping into things and hence lambskin will be less prone to scratches.

Good luck with your decision!

thanks so much for your input ! I do carry quite light, I was planning to make use of the card slots, and then I just carry mini hand sanitizer, keys, lip gloss and my asthma inhaler and a sage mint roller pen ! Do you think that’ll be doable? ☺️

I appreciate your input! She said there was a chance but in about 1-2 years as we get very limited stock here in Canada?
I do definitely like the idea of a bag that lays flat on my body, as I do have a few LV pieces that do sit a bit further out from my body and find it a bit bulky, would a mini be the same way as in comparison to like the width of the psm and speedy 20?
