Been trying to find a Chanel mini-flap for my girlfriend as a gift - does anyone know how to get these from boutiques? Much appreciated

You're a great partner! Excellent choice.

Just walk into a boutique and tell them what you want. You don’t have to play cat and mouse with chanel like you do with Hermes. Tell them what you want and when you need it by, and the SA can help you. Shipments are awful right now so def recommend getting the SA’s card so you can follow up

That’s a little condescending. My SAs like me very much. I am just telling OP what I am seeing across the board in stores when I go shop at my local boutique. It’s a fact that it’s easier to get sought after items in a tourist city.

FYI on this - stores are not allowed to ship classics right now and you can’t buy over the phone. So you will have to go in person to the boutique

Not sure if this is applicable but I just came back from Europe and asked about minis too. My SA said that minis are the hardest ones to get and so the best that she got me was a small classic flap the next day

You may have to pay a premium but if you look on FASHIONPHILE for Giftable items under Chanel they will come brand new with the box, tags attached, etc.

Thanks for your suggestion, I will keep looking in boutique but if can’t buy before the deadline I’ll buy from them

Hi, I'm an employee at a hotel chain who works remotely. I've been working remotely for over a year now and I love it! The company I work for is very supportive of remote workers, which is great.

But there's one thing that's been bothering me: it's hard to get feedback on my work when I'm not in the office. It would be great if there was some kind of system that let me know how my performance was being evaluated while I'm working on projects from home.

Thoughts on this Celine Tripmphe bag (maybe in teen size since I’m petite)? I LOVE Celine bags and already own Classic Box (light grey) and Micro Belt bag (amazon green). Would this overlap with my collection, especially the classic box? I feel guilty dropping $3-4k for a bag when my salary’s only 100k. But I want to treat myself for upcoming promotion (hopefully) and for going through hard year in 2020. Was looking at Navy Blue but also considering black, camel or more fun colors (red, pink)
