Wish I had known about this - I went to the Bond Street store last Saturday and the SAs were just plain rude about it. They were just saying it was a "Chanel rule" (have shopped in the US before so I know it's not a "rule" like Hermes' quotas), but this explanation is so much more helpful. Thank you!
You are welcome! [emoji4] I asked about this rule as I was buying a WOC at New Bond Street and was deciding on the box tote but I was also holding out for a coco handle. I am glad I didnt end up using the bag quota in Central London as I found a coco handle at T3 [emoji38]
