It’s gorgeous! It was my first VCA purchase with the bracelet. You won’t regret it!I’ve never seen one in boutique ever! Luckily I have to bracelet and earrings so I was able to pull the trigger sight unseen. Im super excited, it will be my first 10-motif!!
I haven’t been able to try the 20 hammered either but I have the bracelet as you. It’s pretty upsetting to order before being able to see in person and try.
I remember walking in to get the guilloché…
Right! I only waited 3 weeks for my bracelet and earrings. My SA said 3-4 months wait for my 10 motif to come in
Is it what I think it is?? Inquiring minds want to know
Also to keep on topic, it is annoying that they constantly do price adjustments every few months to match the strongest currency. I feel like they weren’t doing this years prior. Somehow the pandemic has made companies even more greedy amidst hardships.
I sure hope your other SA comes through for you! Good luck!
Yes it is. And yes they are just finding a convenient bandwagon to hop on. Thanks a lot Chanel.Is it what I think it is?? Inquiring minds want to know

Gasp!! I wanted to love but also angry emoji your post at the same time RE: Chanel haha.
When is your piece coming in I cannot wait!!!
Thanks! At least in the US the prices are not going up yet so crossing my fingers that I will get it at the current price. Otherwise I may just not buy it. My SA told me no obligation.
My SM has confirmed no price increase for VCA in Malaysia this April.
@VCAforever - I hope they do not have another PI before this year end. And I agree with you, it will not stop me from buying as I do like the VCA offerings.
Out of interest, below are more examples:
1st price is prior to the 10/13/2023 increase, 2nd price is the price after 10/13/2023 increase, last price is the price after the 04/13/2023 increase. Please note: these are Canadian prices.
1. WG, Perlee Pearls of Gold Bracelet - $6,050, $6,450 & $7,000 - 15.7% increase from the $6,050 price
2. WG, Frivole, Small Pendant - $12,300, $12,900 & $14,000 - 13.8% increase from the $12,300 price
3. YG, Sweet Clovers Bracelet - $19,000, $20,895 (estimate of 5% - I didn't note the price at the time) & $22,700 - 14.1% increase from the $19,000 price
4. WG, Perlee Clovers Bracelet - $35,500, $37,300 & $40,500 - 14.1% increase from the $35,500 price
I can't remember which thread it was but someone commented that the 5 motifs bracelet (without diamonds) may go to $10k. It is hard to imagine it though but the WG Vintage Alhambra 5-motifs bracelet is now $8,300. Didn't the collections just launch on 11/01/2022? I noted a price of $7,650 which would result in a 8.5% increase in just 5 months.
A friend of mine wondered if it could be that they are catching the rest of the world up to the US? It’s sucked for us all along. Lol.
Mine is showing the US prices. You may want to re-select your country as the US, as it seems you are on the international (global) webpage now.
