Yeah I can see why, but I don’t see myself paying over $6,500 for a jumbo CF or a Boy. My SA says this will be a permanent piece so that’s probably why the price is what it is. I just like everything about this bag: how it looks, how it feels, and the versatility of it. Plus, I’m a huge fan of squishy and puffy bags! I was actually considering the puffy bowling bag seasonal piece, but passed on it because all they have is black. I’m looking forward to more Chanel 19 flaps!I think I am still flabbergasted by Chanel's new price points.
