I know this topic gets resurrected and discussed every time there's a price increase, but lately I've been completely uninspired by Chanel, and feeling completely over it. Chanel used to make my heart sing and stomach butterflies dance around. I loved so many new collections and new colours, season after season. The styles and colours that have come out in the last few years have been very blah (in my opinion).
Also, I'm discouraged because the prices are so insane for Chanel, but resale for anything that isn't a classic design is not very good. I have a seasonal Chanel bag that was like the Gabrielle / Chanel 19 of its day, but its no longer popular now, and now I can't even sell it at a steep loss if I wanted to. This would be more acceptable for a $1000-2000 bag, but just feels sad for bags that are $3000-4000+. There are only so many classic flaps that one can buy (especially now that the prices are $10,000 for a bag in Canada).
Or maybe, because of the pandemic, or because I'm getting older and feeling closer to purse peace, I feel completely over luxury designer handbags altogether.
Lastly, I saw this post by @TraceySH and it just made me question the whole situation even more: https://forum.purseblog.com/threads...-bag-the-corner-is-peeling-off.1032822/page-2 These bags are now upwards of $10,000 in Canada, and Chanel can't even be bothered to provide good customer service about it. The SAs in my city are cr*p and anytime I have bought a bag in the last few years, have all been through US SAs or a personal shopper.
Sorry if that was a ranty / rambly post. I'm curious to see if anyone else feels the same as me.
