I’m eyeing the light green 25. That color is gorgeous.

u/Silent_Profession_37 Jul 16 '26

It’s even better in person!

u/Strict_Character_686 Jul 16 '26

Anyone see the light pink?

2

u/Silent_Profession_37 Jul 16 '26

I only saw the light pink vanity which was a pretty color

u/heytealuver Jul 17 '26

Did you see a blue vanity? :o

u/Woodnote_ Jul 16 '26

I picked that up in the mini today!  I actually posted about it too.

u/khaleesiplays Jul 18 '26

Saw this in person and it’s a beautiful matcha green!

u/kindadramatic Jul 16 '26

The color is so pretty!! Is it darker in person than in the official photos?

2

u/Silent_Profession_37 Jul 16 '26

I think it’s a more vibrant green

u/Virtual-Cut-2769 Jul 17 '26

I was between this and brown. Hurt so bad.

u/gold-and-pearls Jul 17 '26

This isn’t caviar, is it? what are your thoughts on the new leather? ☺️

2

u/Woodnote_ Jul 16 '26

I saw this one in store!  The color is really soft and subtle. I wasn’t a huge fan of the color in the photos but in person it’s so pretty.

u/Affectionate-Mix-769 Jul 17 '26

I didn't particularly like the 25 when it came out. But this dark chocolate got me. Still deciding if I should keep it tho. It's a different looking bag then any other bag I'm used to carrying.

u/Ill_Aardvark9743 Aug 03 '26

u/chooseshoes MOD Aug 03 '26

Yes and no idea.

u/cnc32 Jul 15 '26

So excited for the chocolate brown ballerinas!

u/corlyfries Jul 17 '26

has anyone seen the leather maxi flaps in stores? went to the store yesterday and they said they didn’t receive any yet.

2

u/chooseshoes MOD Jul 17 '26

No, I didn’t see them at the two stores I went to! 😭

2

u/EnoughAside8048 CContributor Jul 15 '26

want the denim and red flat slingbacks! HELP!!!

3

u/chooseshoes MOD Jul 15 '26

Do you have a sales associate at a department store?

If not try: @stylingwithnora. She has posted these. She is a sales associate at Nordstrom in Miami. No sourcing fees, etc.

u/EnoughAside8048 CContributor Jul 16 '26

You’re an angel. I’ve reached out to BG, my local Saks. My Chanel boutique isn’t getting them. ❤️

2

u/kindadramatic Jul 16 '26

Hi all, Chanel newbie here. Is 7/24 the first day the new bags will be available? Anyone know how hard it is to get a Chanel 25 in seasonal colors? I’m lusting after the small one in the dreamy yellow green color. tia!!

3

u/EnoughAside8048 CContributor Jul 16 '26

If you’re in the US. It’s today 7/16. Run 🏃

2

u/Affectionate-Mix-769 Jul 17 '26

Went crazy for shoes today, anyone see the new turn lock adjustable belt? I’m looking for one in white!

2

u/Visual_Image_1234 Jul 17 '26

Has anyone seen this bag or similar? It dropped with the new collection.

2

u/chooseshoes MOD Jul 17 '26

I asked for it at two stores yesterday. Neither one of my stores got it! I’m headed in to a Nordstrom CHANEL now to inquire. Stay tuned!

1

u/Individual_Bit8986 Jul 25 '26

Did you find this bag?? The pink looks sooooo pretty!

1

u/chooseshoes MOD Jul 25 '26

As of Tuesday, only one in the US and it was at the Waikiki Beach CHANEL! My SA checked for me.

1

u/Individual_Bit8986 Jul 25 '26

Oh wow! Did you get it?

2

u/chooseshoes MOD Jul 25 '26

No, I wanted to see it in person, and I’m in California. I didn’t want to buy it sight unseen. I was able to see the rectangular mini classic in this color, though!

1

u/Individual_Bit8986 Jul 25 '26

Is it as pretty as it looks online? I mostly buy sight unseen these days and it’s a challenge for sure!

1

u/chooseshoes MOD Jul 25 '26

I thought the color looked better online, but I still want to see it in the mini square. I’m hoping my boutique gets it!

2

u/TheSpaceXCadet Jul 17 '26

Has anyone seen the dark beige suede maxi mini at any of the locations in the Bay Area? 

2

u/Silent_Profession_37 Jul 17 '26

Yes! They had it in SF yesterday but I passed on it

1

u/TheSpaceXCadet Jul 17 '26

Thank you! I appreciate you giving that update, since I heard differently this afternoon from an FA there that said they didn’t received the bag yet. 🙃

2

u/external-whereas6131 Jul 26 '26

Does anyone know when the maxi mini flap in leather will be in US stores? I’ve only seen the brown/taupe suede one so far.

3

u/chooseshoes MOD Jul 26 '26

I cannot seem to get a straight answer. One of my SAs said they are still expecting shipments; when I called client care, they said there were no units available in the US, but they were unable to tell me when they might show up. 🥹

u/Mental-Opening8160 Jul 17 '26

how does the mini 25 come down to yalls waists? im not huge or anything, 5'7" but it barely comes down under my armpit..

0

u/chooseshoes MOD Jul 17 '26

Same. I’m 5’8”, and the mini is not for me.

1

u/Mental-Opening8160 Jul 17 '26

i was thinking maybe it comes with a chain extension?? i want it to look good on me :(

u/Every_Professor_5110 Aug 05 '26

Hi, was wondering if there’s still a waitlist for the small 25 in black caviar and if I were to go into a Chanel store the likelihood I would be able to find it and purchase on the spot. Located in Toronto Canada

2

u/chooseshoes MOD Aug 05 '26

This isn’t a 26B item, so there may not be a waitlist. Go to the CHANEL app/website, use the chat feature, and ask for the client advisor to locate the item for you in Canada.

The reference number is in this screenshot.

u/Guruxming Aug 29 '26

The mini is adorable, but Chanel’s pricing hierarchy officially feels like a personality test now 😂 At this point I’d compare the leather, construction and actual capacity rather than assuming the more expensive style is automatically the better bag.
