I'm threatening to buy a 2.55 Reissue
My nearest stockist is Manchester Selfridges Exchange Square. Has anyone bought there recently? (lockdown notwithstanding) What was your experience?
If anyone has opinions on the 2.55 itself I'd be glad to hear them too

@MummyJ12
Thank you I was looked after by Eve who was delightful. All the staff seemed great, I talked briefly with a number of them & they were all warm & professional.
Apparently they do normally offer champagne but since Covid Chanel HQ have told them to stop. I've bought Chanel scarves before from New Bond St & Harrods & used to see people with their bags & their flutes, luckily for me I'm tee total so it would have been politely declined anyway! My good friend said if she hadn't had a clinic full of patients today (she's a GP) she would have happily come with me & necked my unwanted champagne because that's what friends are for apparently

@RockaLock
I was going to try & get a decent photo in pleasant surroundings - or as nice as my house affords - but here is the one I snapped in store to send to my Mrs to keep you going

Oh hooray @MrsCalypsoGrant so pleased for you!!!!! Sounds like you had a fantastic day and experience too which is so nice to hear. How fab that you now have an SA who will courier to you too!! I have never managed that as I've tended to buy from different boutiques but would be amazing to have a nice SA.
It's such a great bag, you will love it. Definitely need those Chanel SLGs now too hahaha
Thanks for the thread - Chanel isn't discussed enough on Mumsnet for my liking

@PresentingPercy
DD1 had one of those the other day when I saw her. I thought it was a copy. Hmmm!
So funny, maybe best not to ask!

@PlatinumBrunette I'll remember that!
@MummyJ12 I already have a single flap bag, a J12, several scarves & a brooch so I'm well in the Chanel club 
@Inmypjsagain @MapleMay11 SLG's here I come!
@Giftwithpurchase Yes I think I shall keep hold of my SA now I've got her! And you are welcome for the thread, let's keep Chanel in Active
Thank you all for keeping me company on this journey. It's been a tough time for me recently & this has been such a joyous experience. I appreciate all your posts
Finally some proper photos (including the dog who very much approves )

Oh no, this is a terrible thread - I talked myself out of spending so much money on a bag (specifically THIS bag), but now I’m desperate to get one!
It’s beautiful, enjoy using it as often as you can

@MummyJ12 I know Chanel herself would have had gold, but in all the photos we see of her with her original 2.55 it appears silver as the images are in black & white. That's the image that sticks in my mind, hence the ruthenium (plus I already have the gold single flap )
