Where to buy Chanel?

[mtn76]

Hi,

I'm interested in a buying a Chanel purse, any advice if I should get it at a Chanel boutique vs. Saks or NM? Any pros or cons to either?

Don't stick to just one source. Try the department stores and the boutique, becuase the selection will vary. Sometimes the dept stores have exclusives that the boutiques don't buy.

Really, the better thing to do is figure out what specifically you want.
If you choose a specific store, chances are they won't have it!

I try and use NM for all my bag purchases as I rather enjoy their InCircle program and my favorite SA is there.

FYI - many Saks and NM have Chanel Boutiques inside them - they are actually run by Chanel, the SA's work for Chanel etc.

Thanks for the advice ladies! I'm trying to narrow down which purse I want I'm liking the Chanel calfskin handbags. Its just so hard to decide.

Hmm, my SA works for NM. She is their Chanel specialist, but is employed by NM, not Chanel.
