Update: The Chanel Bag the PurseBop Girls Couldn’t Leave Paris without

“Yes, but of course. After all, I need new sunnies to wear at the H show tomorrow,” I laughed.

“Let’s see if my SA is here,” suggested BopTalk.

We walk in and immediately head to sunglasses by the door. I tried several styles, none that were appealing. Meanwhile Boptalk requested to meet with her longtime SA and was directed to the lower level.

The Chanel door hostess chimes in, “We have more sunglasses downstairs too.”

We headed downstairs, avoiding the bags that we dare not purchase. Only focused on sunnies, lol – supposedly. Boptalk’s SA greeted us with a smile and she signaled with her index finger raised to wait while she wrapped up with a client.

After about 30 minutes went by and we finished browsing for sunglasses, we gently interrupted.

“Bonjour, should we come back later?” BopTalk asked.

I added, “Excuse me, we were just wondering if you had the new mini Chanel 22 available to see?”

“Please wait a few moments. I’m just finishing up,” she said. Then whispering softly, “I have one that I can show you, but it cannot be sold.”

We turned to each other with gleaming eyes. This was something worth putting our chocolate croissants on hold for.

“I can’t wait to see this, although truthfully I am not a 22 fan,” I said excitedly.

“I’m not gonna lie but I can’t stop thinking about it – even on the flight I was searching for more pics. The regular size Chanel 22 still looks like a trash bag to me, but the mini is so cute,” replied BopTalk.

Our SA returned to us with a huge smile. In her gloved hands was a rose gold mini Chanel 22.

“Thank you so much for waiting. This is the only mini 22 we have in stock. I can just show you this for size but it cannot be purchased. I am sorry. Unfortunately all the units have been pre-sold to customers. There are 40 orders and they are all reserved,” she explained.
