I agree with everyone - the multiple price increases slap wisdom in the face...it appears very counter productive in keeping with the company's large following of loyal customers, who may not be on Chanel's VIP list.... yet, our dollars certainly show up on the profit reports each month / quarter and of course the year-end.
Also until Chanel gets a handle on the Quality Control issues they have - they are "faking" themselves ....it is obscene that these thousand dollar plus, handmade handbags are made so poorly at times. Many ladies here have carefully transported a Chanel bag home only to have it break the first time they wear it...where as a fake bag is thrown from pallet to box and not cared for no way near the pampered treatment of a true Chanel...but at least as ugly as a fake might be....they usually don't break within the first wearing!!!!
Not saying by any means that we ladies want fakes - I certainly don't - but Chanel needs to address Quality Control. The prices should represent the quality of the Chanel bags. This doesn't seem to be the case at times.
Without QUALITY...Chanel is just a name....but yet they want us as customers to equate Quality with Chanel.....so get it right....stop talking about "handmade" this and "handmade" that and make sure the hands that are making the bags know how they are to be made.
Luckily for me I have not experienced a quality issue yet on a bag, but I find it very disturbing to hear of fellow Chanel devotees that have spent good money only to experience such poor craftsmanship from a company that their hallmark is based on quality. I also realize that one day I might experience the same fate.
While, I am on my rant ....can you make the dust covers just an inch or two bigger so bags like the clutch can actually fit in them more comfortably.....
