CHANEL CHIT CHAT Thread!

[mssmelanie]

Hi all! The 17b light gold / iridescent rose gold WOC popped up on Fashionphile (https://www.fashionphile.com/chanel...quilted-wallet-on-chain-woc-light-gold-331712) last night and I impulse bought it. I was very disappointed that I missed the seasonal release of this color, but the prices of classic flaps I've seen on preloved websites have always been marked up a ton so I never pulled the trigger.

It was $2,995 + no tax, which is over the current RP but not by an exorbitant amount since I'd pay $2,500 + approx. 7% sales tax to buy a WOC today. It looks to be in excellent condition from the photos, and comes with the full set, which is a big plus for me. What does everyone think -- is it a manageable enough premium to keep the bag and not look back?

I think it’s gorgeous! I have not yet purchased from FASHIONPHILE although I have sold to them. What I do like is there buyback program. You can sell back to them within 6 months for 70% of what you paid so I think that’s a great option.

I'm kind of new to this, but does anyone know if the Red chanel caviar woc come with gold hardware? I mainly see silver

Should I get this? Just wondering how functional it is

The color is nice. I got one 3 years ago. But havent used it much. Its nice for travel or running small errands. Also depends on your lifestyle. I need my hands to be free so this doesnt really work for me

I miss the straight forward reveal threads with mod shots we used to get on the Chanel subforum.

Make sure you get it authenticated and you’ll be fine. Depending on the style, there might only be a marginal price difference in getting a preloved one though

Hey there! thanks for replying ))) If you don't mind me asking, do you purchased preloved bags? if you do, can you please share where? Thanks in advance!

 

[charlotte22]

I'm pretty intrigued by online auction sites for bags though, has anyone has any idea and/or thoughts on them? Have seen a few, and the prices and selection seems good and also looks legit enough for me to want to take the plunge!! But would really appreciate some thoughts from you guys first

I am thinking of buying a Chanel Boy Bag. Should I purchase it pre-loved or brand new? Is black the recommended colour?

Hi guys! This is my first post after lurking for a good 4.5 years... wasn’t sure where else to put this mini rant but at least it’s Chanel related, so here goes:

I live in Indiana where we lost our only Chanel inside Saks in Indianapolis a few years ago. About maybe a year ago (not sure when honestly, I haven’t lived in Indy for a while) I saw someone walking around the mall with a Chanel shopping bag with stuff inside and I was like woah wait what? They’re back? The person was like “ohhhhhhh they’re at Nordstrom now!” I didn’t have time to investigate so just made a mental note. The Chanel website hasn’t updated its locations in a while, since they still list my optometrist when they definitely don’t carry Chanel anymore, so I figured that applied too. A year later and I’m finally back at that mall and go to investigate since I want a new wallet... no signs of Chanel in sight at Nordstrom. Ended up at Saks chatting with the Gucci SAs (in the former Chanel location no less, RIP) who were like, no, they’ve never been back, that’s really weird actually.

I’m still a little bitter about the entire thing lol. Okay, rant over.

Do you think that person might have meant Chanel makeup and beauty?

can anyone tell me which colours are avalable right now in stores for the classic small wallet? I only can see black at the hp

Did you get this? Every time I go in for a mini O case, they try to sell me these. If it had a strap, I might be so inclined. They always have a lot of them in stock.

Follow this thread! And also, you can probably call CHANEL as well.

I didn’t want to post this in Karl’s remembrance thread due to respect... but I still wanted to vent my frustration with Yoogi’s “Karl Lagerfeld is Dead” email. Very very poor taste and is making me reconsider purchasing from them. I may just be sensitive right now but it just feels wrong.


No kind words, just buy some bags from us.

I thought it was very crass as well.

 

[fashion16]

Count me in too. Completely inappropriate

Definitely in poor taste. Yuck.
