This is crazy! Also thankful I bought all the classic flaps I wanted before all the crazy price increases. I’m sure they will be making exceptions for loyal RTW clients though. They are big on brand loyalty.
Chanel RTW ~ Reveals, Chit-chat & Info thread
- Thread starter kewave
- Start date
I do think that a big RTW customer should have any bags they want. They’re entitled to it.
most likely resellers are in the ranks of vips or above, IDK.
The limits and competition might squeeze out the small customer, without a purchase history, who may be able or willing to buy from a reseller, and who saves up for their first and only chanel bag.

IMO they should focus on eliminating resellers. Anything else is taking the easy way out, but not necessarily the best way for normal customers.
Well- as long as we are chit chatting - just want to say I’ve really enjoyed my new winter 2021Chanel Pearl beads. What fun to wear ! I

I’m not a huge buyer if Chanel bags but I did get this Coco Handle this season- love the SO Black hardware-and chevron quilting. Have nothing of value to add on the limiting of Chanel classic bags to clients. Have a hard time wrapping my head around the classic flaps being as much as Hermès, tho.

I get the sense that they put resellers as VVIP since I know in some countries there’s resellers who buy every stock of the popular sizes of a particular shoe (I forgot which shoe now) every season and sell it for a mark up. It’s a common knowledge amongst all the country managers of competing brands as they often chat about different brand strategies. Chanel playing the game have really helped them weather through the pandemic by saying things are limited or not available…
Is the question on these specific boots or the style?Anyone have these cargo boots? This is new bout style territory for me - just wondered what the folks here might know
I don't have these boots but I have a lot of doc Martens style boots/combat boots from Balenciaga/Ann Demeulemeester, etc. They generally look cute with feminine dresses IMHO and they always work with skinny jeans/pants.
Thanks - in this case these specific boots - but also the basic style. Thank you - I see this look in Europe often. Not as much where I am- but toying with the idea of these with my new Chanel tunic and crop jacket.
Met up with my new sweet SA for the first time today. She got me to try on some jackets. First one, I loved the iridescent tweed but it’s 3 sizes too big. The seamstress said she could alter the sizing though I’m not sure how it would look. Second one fit me well but I didn’t really love it. Third one.. OMG! It was soooo nice but cost twice as much as the black tweed 4-pocket jacket. Does anyone have this 21C sparkly jacket in the last pic? Is it worth it? Please talk me out of it

Wow - I think this is the first I’ve seen that third jacket - love the cut - almost like a kimono - the pearls and sequins are probably what makes it so pricey.Met up with my new sweet SA for the first time today.

Could you wear it by day?
It’s exquisite
Ditto to TT's post, never seen jacket #3. I think the stitching of the pearls really affected the price. It is lovely!
TT, beautiful necklace! Did you get the zip front white suit as well. I think you had been considering it. I am going to my boutique this weekend and was hoping to see it. My SA unfortunately said it sold immediately when she got her order in.

monkyjib, I have jackets #1 and #2. No worries, #1 can be altered. I had to take one size up as my size sold out before I decided I wanted it in my store. #2 is really soft and easy to wear especially with jeans. #3 is a stunner with that detail and I can see why you are interested. Choosing is never easy!
You look gorgeous! LOVE how you styled this! Am thinking modern Audrey H
@monkyjib, I love all three jackets, and they can easily tailor them to fit perfectly. I love #2 and would have bought it, but I don’t need another black jacket. IMO So wearable for every day and can be dressed up too. Also #3 is gorgeous, but I find that to feel okay with oneself in spending double or more, you have adore it off the bat And not want to take it off. Or at least that’s how I eliminate choices.

@TankerToad, I have some designer ones, but I actually wear the doc martens ones the most. I feel that if we wear so much premier designer RTW, a more mainstream shoe makes the look more street appropriate and more youthful
(of course when I go into chanel, Dior or brunello — my RTW boutiques of choice these days— my SAs just chuckle at my chosen footwear)
