Hello everyone! I’ve been collecting bags in the 1000-3000 range for several years and now I’ve reached a place in my financials that I can make the jump to Chanel without issue. I’ve been researching for the last few months and have made a Chanel wish list. Within the next 2 years, I’d like to acquire a small Trendy CC, M/L Chanel 19, Deauville tote and a Pearl Crush Mini.
My Trendy CC is on its way and I’m on a waitlist for the 19.
The thing is... am I making a mistake by not going for a classic flap? I find both flaps and boy bags to be very common and the most duped. My family and friends who own a Chanel have either the flap or boy. And I’ve seen so many fakes being sold on the streets of Europe, Asia and Africa on every vacation I’ve been on. It has left a permanent feeling of unease and distrust when I see them. For the same reason I’ve never been able to buy a LV neverfull or speedy.
How do you get over this? Am I making a mistake not getting a classic anytime soon? I don’t like the boy at all but I could see myself one day getting over the hump with a flap. Should I get it now or wait until I really want it even if it’s more pricy?
Thank you!
