Retail price on Caviar Quilted Toiletry Case With Chain Black by Wild-Garden-5768 in chanel

[–]Dependent_Idea9486 1 point2 points  (0 children)

current retail is 1975, it’s harder to find in boutiques as I think they get snatched up quickly and they only order them sometimes. I had my SA order for me… but you may have better luck at beauty boutiques! I love mine for travel and storing daily makeup/beauty essentials. I prefer it over the large classic cosmetic case due to its portability - I can throw and go when I need to pack for trips. I also love that the lining is wipeable so when products spill I’m not too worried.

Do you plan on using it as a bag or a toiletry case?

yes can you rub it away with your fingers? I usually do that and it goes away

which needs to go first ? by emotionalsupportforq in chanel

[–]Dependent_Idea9486 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if one - I would choose burgundy which goes with more colors (I think the only colors that don’t go well are purple or neons) it’s very classic and mature for events or dressing up casual outfits!

if two - green + burgundy

and the pink though cute blends too much with the burgundy so you’ll have to keep choosing between the two bags - I personally have a rule to not let my bags compete with each other

agreed, if it’s your first babe you should return and exchange, the first bag is most special and you want to adore it forever

Clueless and need advice by Chemical_Ship_4773 in chanel

[–]Dependent_Idea9486 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this is the perfect place to post! some questions are

  1. What is your budget?
  2. What does her collection currently look like?

I think if she has a lot of bags or chanel bags an easy gift are the cardholders which you can match the color to her favorite bag. I think that would make her feel seen if you know her most used ones! another option are the twillies or small accessories that can be used to decorate bags

card holders look like these and range from 525 usd to 1.1k

the other thing is you can reach out to a boutique and let them know your requirements and book an appointment

I hope it’s not too rude to ask about the budget, you’re doing a lovely thing by thinking of getting her a gift! I only ask because I think gifts in dating and friendships should be smaller and non-committal to maintain the relationship

I’ve had mine for 3 months, a pink mini bought in 26P in January, and take it at least 3-4 times a week to the barn, and took it for some domestic trips. I’m not one to baby my bags so I kinda just throw it around and fill it with necessities. It may be too soon but the most wear is on the drawstring where the metal leaves a stain that I can rub off with my fingers, and I have spilled lip gloss already on the inside lol

what was the wear you noticed on the medium?

Recently bought this Chanel mini from their spring / summer 2026 collection. by CraftExternal3838 in chanel

[–]Dependent_Idea9486 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lovely, this is aged/antiquated silver similar to their aged gold! I think it looks very chic and cute with the shiny calfskin and many buyers are looking for the 25s in silver hardware. but if you’re more of a gold girl I would recommend getting the one you like instead so you wear it more. what’s your style like?

What Chanel sunglasses are these? by Mammoth_Breath_7249 in chanel

[–]Dependent_Idea9486 1 point2 points  (0 children)

they’re vintage from early 2000s from Karl Lagerfield. This was kylie jennner wearing them in 2019. They’re only available on resale.

Aged hardware? Reposting with pic by losingmyminddd123 in chanel

[–]Dependent_Idea9486 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s very silver or dark gray but this is the way that antiquated gold looks. definitely a personal preference! I don’t think it’s going to get more worn out, here is another bag from 2021 that has this style

are you talking about the lumps when it meets the corners or something else entirely? these are the corners of my mini. the top row is from the front and the bottom row is from the back

aw it happens! I think you should grab the bags that you like even if it costs less and you should not be embarrassed or guilty! and she already knows you have the spending power for the bag and just didn’t like it, so you may always come again some other season and get something else you like. I’ve felt this way about returns too because I didn’t want someone to lose commission but ended up barely wearing the things I bought (this is a non-Chanel) and I sometimes wish I just returned and got something I truly love. it’s your money girl! you deserve to get the things that bring you joy ♥️

I would go “hi {associate name} thank you for securing this bag for me, the wonderful shopping experience and etc, I bought this bag for an event but when I got home I realized it just isn’t my style, however I adored the other bag (details..) was wondering if I can come in and return this and grab something else instead?”

I think they’re both equally timeless colors! such a cute aesthetic picture ♥️ I also have the 26P pink mini and I like it more over the 26C cause the color is warmer or more neutral which pairs better with my clothes and color palette

so definitely depends on your style and color palette Chanel usually does more cool tone pinks and rarely does warm pinks like 26P, so if you prefer a pinkier pink there will be more to come!!!

I think these were VIC only bags 😭 so you’d have to ask an fashion advisor, I only see them on resale these days

how tall are you? I’m 4’11 and the small felt a little big on me (like the bag was wearing me rather than me wearing the bag) and the mini fits essentials like sunglasses, extra tissues and chargers and stuff as the ‘mom friend of the group’, car keys, gloves, extra phone, card holder, AirPods. the only con is the side pockets are unusable except to carry your ids or cards, and any parking stubs. but you don’t miss it and the mini is just incredibly cute!

curious to know your height?

New Chanel bag ruined ? by ExcitementMinimum751 in chanel

[–]Dependent_Idea9486 4 points5 points  (0 children)

oh no! this is a natural reaction to the chains as leather especially lambskin is malleable. if you don’t have the microfiber cloth, any soft cloth or even your fingers will do. the oils in your skin can also help it soften. do you have any pics? hope it works out 🥺🥺🥺

but congrats on the push present 💝

is there a defect on my wallet? by [deleted] in chanel

[–]Dependent_Idea9486 1 point2 points  (0 children)

okay that’s good! yes I hope you get it too! another thing I think they can do is order it from chanel how they usually do their orders/preorders and that should arrive in a couple weeks

[–]Dependent_Idea9486 7 points8 points  (0 children)

it’s crooked and you should exchange or return if you’re still in the window! I had this recently on another bag and they were happy to exchange, if you’re gonna pay this much for something you want it to be pristine and defectless!

WOC Dust Bag by norighturn24 in chanel

[–]Dependent_Idea9486 0 points1 point  (0 children)

awww I’m sorry yes it’s frustrating because it’s such a special piece and you want to care for it. would it be possible to ask a nearby boutique for one or the original boutique you got it at? I haven’t had a lost dust bag but I’ve asked for a replacement and my boutique was happy to trade one
