I already have plenty of both brands and all I can say is the only difference is the price.
I'd rather have one higher price range and exclusive Gucci rather than normal Chanel flap or 2 more commercial Guccis. Lower price point bags subsidise the higher.
May I ask you which Fendi bag lost its shape?Interesting. Now I have few Guccis, LVs and Fendi and thinking all the time I could have rather invested in Chanel bags but maybe it’s just because of the hype. Also I made a mistake last year with not so cheap Fendi losing its shape already. I like commercial Guccis, I don’t even dare to think about exclusive for now![]()
I understand perfectly. I get so frustrated when my bags lose shape or get scratched. That's why I recommend getting a Chanel flap, especially in caviar, however I'm not an expert of Gucci bags to say how durable they are. However, even if Gucci bags are as durable as Chanel, I would still advise getting Chanel, as they have more classic designs which you are not going to get bored of if you choose the right color and hardware for you. There was a time when I thought that the classic flap was overrated but the minute I saw it at the Chanel boutique for the first time I realized why everybody's in love with it. Anyway, good luck with your next purchase!Fendi Dotcom Click medium. Corners started to sag, I’m afraid it’s only going to get worse. They even discontinued it recently. I love the bag and wear it very often so I’m so sorry about it.

Thank you! I didn’t have any problem with my Guccis yet, they are pretty new. Last time I looked bags in caviar at the Chanel, they looked somehow dull but I read not all the batches are the same. Looking forward to find my beautiful Chanel flap once![]()

I voted for Chanel, but really I'd advise getting the 1 bag you love the most right now (and is affordable/worth it to you). Just because you have x amount to spend, doesn't mean you have to spend it all right now. Buy 1 bag, enjoy it for awhile, then worry about the next one!
I vote chanel. Price increases are hard to stomach. If you can get one now, do so... before it’s TOO LATE -cue funny horror movie sound effects-
I love both brands and own bags from each. I can say my HG bag is my Jumbo Chanel Classic double flap, I adore that bag. I would get the bag that is the most difficult to obtain and then work on others at a later date.
