not all that glitters is gold
I told you a few days ago,how a wonderfull SA had located a ivory maxi for me.I was so happy,well i waited for my HG,all day friday,it still hadnt arrived by 4pm,so i decided to give brown thomas a call,i was asured it had been sent,they even kept me on hold while they double checked,all is fine.5pm came no ups,i know ups dont deliver after 5pm,and for paying £70 for next day delivery,i would have recived it by 1pm,as they deliver here a lot,i didnt let brown thomas know that.i waited till 5.30 pm,and phoned chanel,the manager linda cooper spoke to me,she asured me the bag had been sent, and asked if i was still buying the order taken by a SA,for the winter maxi's she seemed more concerned about that,i asked for the tracking number,she said she was just looking at ups site while i was on phone,she told me she would phone me back in ten mimutes,i waited,but knew something was wrong when she wouldnt give me tracking number.by six thirty no one had phoned me back,the store closes at 7pm.I called back,linda will call you back before she leaves,shes on the other phone now.well we all know what that means.7.50 pm,i get a call from a sales assit,who clearly didnt want to be making the call,shes so sorry but my bag didnt get sent out!,it was left sitting in a room,normally ups collect from chanel direct,but now the store sends every ones things out together,now when i was making the payment,they went on ups website,to find cost,and the local post office,if it was being sent by internal post,they wouldnt tell me ,we have to find you a delivery price from ups as there one of the better delivery companys,chanel uk uses ups,selfridges uses dhl,but carry the cost,and just charge customer £20 .they were clearly lying,they had just forgot to post it.the SA said sorry for whatever reason linda cant talk to you,shes in the office now.I told her,how upset i was,as linda the manager clearly new the parcel had not been sent when she checked online,but didnt bother to tell me at the time,she was only intrested that i was still ging to buy three maxi's from the fall collection.i will never buy from them again.im lucky i have nearly all my chanel's on my list,and have decided not to get any more maxi's after the fuschia and cherry red in fall,but ill get them from the uk and save over£100 in the total cost.thats not good customer serive,a mistake was made,were all human,but for the manager to behave like that,she will never see a penny of my cash again.when i first spoke to linda,she was so happy that i wanted to order quite a few things,i even sung her name on the tpf,so she got a lot of custom for me singing her praises,as she said she had a ton of bags,they werent jumping off the shelfs.im sure they were after my thread tpf.only intrested in sales and not the customer,my fuschia maxi is coming in,when they phone,ill decline it.hard to find items ill buy from vicky in las vegas,who really follows up everything,if i was happy with my bag,if theres anything else she can get me,big or small.so ill get a 09 red if she can find me one.dublin chanel did refund me delivery cost and the bag should arrive monday morring,i look forward to it arriving.

chanel reissue flap
classic lambskin flap
maxi bag
Every year there is a it bag,the it bag brings fear to every bagoholic's stomach ,how many will be entering the country,can i get my name on the wait list in time,can i increase my credit card limit,as its allready maxed out. my limit for the recession, of five bags has allready been exceeded,.......ect.Chanel has released the maxi bag for 2009,its a larger version of the xl/jumbo classic flap.it comes in a rainbow of colours,but the black and reds,are the most popular,more often than not,joe blog off the street will never even get to see it,as sold out before it even hits the shop,if your name isnt near the top of the wait list,you'd better start phoning usa now,as europe will be left with the slightly odd colours,that no one really wants,when a handbag costs £1845 for the lambskin,it better be in the colour you want,am i getting one.YES, but its coming from las vegas,so im dreading the customs charge,i could have settled for the navy which is stunning,ON SOMEONE ELSE,i need my black,so $3195+$100 shipping,ill be getting my maxi,and finally losing some weigh,as i wont eat for the next month .then in act2 im top of uk list for the new red(hot pink) caviar jumbo,so im expecting to be supermodel thin for summer.im lucky im sticking to this years limit of five handbags,and as i havent been buying them for some time,i dont feel guilty,i bought a black classic jumbo lambskin silver hardware in jan 09,a black lambskin kelly silver hardware feb 09,a black maxi lambskin gold hardware feb 09,it should arrive any day,but i may need to lie down when customs send me their bill,my red caviar jumbo will come in march,i then have one more for year,which i wont get untill fall,as me and ten million others are hoping that chanel will bring out a 05 red,our holy grail of colours in a classic flap.so ill keep myself quiet untill then,and earn a few more pennies for the bag fund
money
If we all added up what we have spent on designers goods,we might just keel over with shock,for most of us its a 10% deposit on a house,but then there are the other 60% who could have bought a small island in the bahamas.most handbags are at least£1000,$1500 ,most women have between 5 and 10,ten is my cut off point,,5 evening bags,as you tend to go out in the evening ,if you buy at least two vintage your save some money,1 tote,2 shoulder bags,1 holdall or suitcase,1 make up box,(counts as sooooo expensive)1 kelly bag,thats all i need,im not the queen or madonna ,so as long as i buy classic timeless pieces ,i cant go wrong,
MAXI FEVER
omg,the vat reduction is over at chanel,while other companys still continue to add the reduced 15% vat,chanel has reverted back to 17.5%. i was told its because of the falling pound,and to even up the prices with france&the rest of europe.So for me ,it makes more sence to buy the maxi at 1845,then a jumbo classic at £1720.SA couldnt be sure the new batch of maxi's in march will be the same price,im so hoping they arrive in next few weeks,as she thought,they will be just under the 2k price point,i recived my black lambskin maxi ghw yesterday,all the way from las vegas, i used her straight away,and love her,if i had my way,id have one in every colour, my eyes may want,but the purse is empty.but with yet another price increase looming,my chanel list is going to be cut very short.my name is down for the maxi in fuschia red from act 2,and i would love the white maxi or the new light grey,but at five per shipment per store ,i may have to call on the usa again.sloane street are getting over a 100 calls a day ,for the black maxi ghw,but will get just a handfull more,as for the navy,they only got three and there taken.but this is the it bag of 2009,but it wont go out of fashion.we have all been longing for this bag to return,and to stop everyone having it,they only release a small amount,chanel classic's really keep their prices,so if you managed to get your mitts on one,your are truely lucky.the vintage maxis from over 20 years ago sell for between £1300 to £2000,so this bag is a good investment,as are all the other classic's.im so glad i have mine
classic vintage 2.55
vintage 2.55
Now i dont know for sure,but this vintage is on bagborrow or steal,as a real 2.55,from the eighties.when i first saw it,i nearly fell over,its stunning to die for,i must have it,omg has anyone else noticed it,can i buy it before daylight.......but then as daylight rose,and id emailed photo to paris and uk,it suddenly dawned on me,that what i didnt want to think could be real,IS IT A FAKE!,i mean thats a 2005 reissue chain,with a classic clasp on a vintage bag,did the chain break off ,and some bright spark thought,i can fix that?,theres just something wrong about it.i want it to be real,and god if it isnt, cant they start making it right now!,it would outsell any maxi and classic hands now,karl,where art thou,please reissue this tdf bag,you could just make 1000,in black&a handfull in red,it would be the most sort after bag ever,oooooooooh and the resale value in years to come,would give you a pension alone.come on karl,we need a lift in this time of recession,this bag is it
its real
acording to a tpf member its real,from eighties,very rare,if you spot one,jump on it,im on the hunt now
