Paris 15 June 2015
Eiffel tower at night
One reason we had spent one day in Paris during our trip to Europe in June 2015 was to visit the very first store of Chanel, located at 31 Rue Cambon. Our previous visit, we shopped at the Gallery Lafayette
Gabrielle Bonheur Chanel or Coco Chanel started her Paris establishment at 31, Rue Cambon, which is now almost the only number on both sides of the street in her block, except a post office which is not hers.
Only at 31 Rue Cambon provides white box and white shopping bags. Other Chanel boutiques in Paris and other countries all use black boxes and black shopping bags.
Once in a lifetime to be in this place.
waiting for my new buddy. feeling VIP (??? feeling only) at a french boutique with my tax rebate form. At least net of 11 to 12% of the cost of our purchases were credited back to our credit card as tax refund. A bit lesser than the actual due to the FOREX and handling fees charged by the country processed the rebate and fees charged by the credit card company for overseas usage.

LARGE FLAP BAG
with my new buddy. Lambskin flap bag with a leather CC signature
I was planning to buy the jumbo classic, I have the large/medium lambskin flap. The jumbo was out of stock during our visit. It was Monday and the place was so packed. I was so disappointed, we came all the way to this place to buy the jumbo classic and we only have one day in Paris. If I buy a new chanel, it must be at 31 Rue Cambon. The assistant introduced their new releases. To be kind of different, as many in Singapore carry the classic, I thought of having this new flap bag.
