Do you regret your non-Chanel purchases?

leem · May 16th, 2008, 12:14 AM

I am leaning toward a non-Chanel purchase. I really, really want a python bag and will be looking this weekend for one, but at a $2500 price tag, will Chanel be the better buy??

What designer is the bag you are thinking of?

I deeply regret both my LV bag purchases.
With the money I paid for them I could have saved towards a croc Chanel.

YEs!!! i recently purchased 2 LV bags that cost the same price as one chanel. and i treat them like dirt!!! I REGRET!???????!?!?!!

It depends what brand of python bag you're looking to get and what Chanel you'd want to get for that same price.

Yar, which designer does it belong too?

shoebuyer37 · May 16th, 2008, 07:06 AM

I think it depends on what designer it is. I have been contemplating selling some of my bags to get another Chanel with the money I have saved up. BUT, I need diverse looks in my closet to go with all my clothes. I think it is good to have a variety of bags in your closet, but ultimately you know your style and what you want.

Nope. I currently have 2 LVs and 2 Chanels - those are my only 'premier designer' bags, and I love them all!

jfhave · May 16th, 2008, 07:23 AM

I would rather save the money towards a Chanel, but haven't necessarily regretted my other purchases. They all serve a purpose. My non Chanels I can be a little less careful with which is nice.

My YSL Tribute bag .... beautiful bag but I really wanted the Chanel Brooklyn Tote which is similar in shape/size .... of course I ended up GETTING the Chanel also but now I am stuck with the YSL too

purly · May 16th, 2008, 08:07 AM

Nope, I still use them.

bagmad73 · May 16th, 2008, 08:14 AM

No! I love different bags (Chanel and non Chanel) for the design and colours, not just for the designer.

Berru09 · May 16th, 2008, 09:51 AM

Not really .. although I use my Chanel everyday & the other non-Chanels for a lazy weekend or semi-casual events. Depends on the outfit I wear.

I do regret getting my LV purse though, because a few mths later I got my Chanel Cambon purse & I completely ditched the LV purse .. It only goes with me on holidays when I need to keep spare bills & travel receipts.

burberryprncess · May 16th, 2008, 09:52 AM

No. I buy all brands.

drunky_krol · May 16th, 2008, 10:08 AM
