If you’re talking to me, no, I am not a Chanel lover. Don’t own one, don’t plan to. I am a vintage LV girl, particularly the canvas. I also love Lancel for leather. So you are throwing shade at the wrong place. I’ll take that $40k, buy a pre-loved LV I can sell for more than I paid for it (can do that with all of my bags) and invest $39k in something that truly makes money while having a high quality bag I am very happy with and proud to carry that I can easily and functionally use every day for decades.Lol girl no shade but—- actually nah, a bit of shade. You’re a Chanel lover, so whatever makes some people buy a black Chanel Reissue that everyone has is understandable to you. Then so should B/K?
You might say “oh but there’s no games to buy Chanel” - even if you’re doing no special RTW/pieces and that’s true, think of it this way: yes some people spend even 40k to get a specific Birkin or Kelly. But these people can *usually*, well, pay that. I’ve known a lot of young girls spend every dime they have and go into thousands of debt to buy a Chanel Jumbo that may or may not fit their style, but by god, they’ll wear it. Which one is “more sensible”? Answer: neither LOL. Just do what you want, let other people do what they want. Why are Ugg boots considered “sexy college girl attire” still? There are so many mysteries in this universe...
Sorry if I sound bitter: I have nothing against Chanel and if anything, I think reissue is a much more practical bag than a Birkin - a bag you couldn’t pay me to carry.
If that’s something to throw shade at, then throw...I am an ordinary woman who lives an ordinary life. And happily so.
