Hello! Someone is selling me these bags, both preloved although the Chanel one is barely used and is in excellent condition, no signs of usage or wear and tear. Chanel is Medium Classic Flap in Beige Clair (caviar leather), Series 25 (2019), selling for 3,828 USD and the seller allows installment terms (up to 12 months, zero interest). Comes with box, dust bag, authenticity card, ribbon, booklet and wiping cloth.



For the Lady Dior, it’s a 2016 model, Medium, Black, used, with minor signs of usage such as hairline stratches at the hardware but barely noticeable. She said it’s still in pristine condition. The seller is selling it for 1,914 USD with installment terms up to 6 months (zero interest). Comes with dust bag, authentication certificate and care card only.



Are the prices and the choice to pay in installments a good deal already? Please help me decide if ever I should get one of these bags and which one to get. I am also having second thoughts still due to the expense, thinking that the money can be used elsewhere — travel or saving for a rainy day. Although I have some savings in the bank and will still have savings left, the price will still subtract a big amount from my savings.

Also, what is your experience with color transfer from a Chanel caviar beige bag classic flap? Thank you.

Photos are attached.
The chanel CF is a great deal if it's authentic!
 
Is there an authenticate Chanel page? If not, any good/reputable companies in Toronto? What is the price approximately? Finally, I’m sure Chanel doesn’t repair fake bags so if I want to authenticate, then I could bring it in for repair no? Thank you!
 
Hi everyone, just want to post my experience with an Instagram scammer going by the name of @shasaishere. She goes by the name of Maharani Saputri and she lives in Palembang Indonesia. She stopped replying to my messages and subsequently blocked me once the bank transfer to her CIMB Niaga Indonesia Bank account (762681285400) has been completed more than one month ago. Needless to say, I never received my bag. I wonder if there are any Indonesian friends out here in this forum who I can approach for help to lodge a local police report?

I am not sure if I can get my USD4800 back, but after coming across this forum, it seems that it is unlikely ): I also saw from some previous replies that she was @consignment_shasa and @kmll_luxury previously. Attached a screenshot of her Instagram page for reference, she has since changed her profile picture recently..really regret not coming across this thread earlier.

Posting here to alert the rest of the community, her account is still active and it makes me so mad that there's nothing much I can do to get my money back, or to get legal action taken against this unscrupulous scammer! Please help to repost, spread the word, and report her page to Instagram too, thanks in advance!

Don't ever buy from a seller in Indonesia if you are overseas. There are only a handful of reputable ones (if even that) with zero fakes and/or fully responsible if item is fake/with defect. Most sellers mix fake and authentic especially those located outside the capital (Jakarta). Super fakes are rife and the domestic demand for super fakes is high. Police is hopeless (they got bigger things to fry, are understaffed, under budget).
 
Hi! I purchased my first Chanel. I wanted to go for the Classic Flap initially, but always liked the boy bag, and got this one for approximately 3000 euros on VC. It was kind of impulsive. :biggrin: I like the bag, but I worry that it's a bit big for me. What do you guys think? The bag is in good condition, but the bottom is sagging a bit.

I'm debating whether I should start using this one for 'everyday' purposes, it's nice to be able to store a bottle of water for example. And then save up for a small classic flap in for example, beige? Or just return this one and get a black small or medium flap. I'm a bit torn because I like the bag a lot but I just imagined it to be smaller on me!

My first was also a boy, and two classic flaps later, I still love it! I think this size looks great on you, but ultimately, you need to love it, and it has to work for you. Think about what you’ll be carrying daily, fill it, try it crossbody, etc. If you find it too bulky, the old medium might be a better size. Though know it does carry as much as a med classic. After my boy, the jumbo classic flap was my next and first classic flap purchase, because I wanted an option with extra room. For my third purchase, I went with the med beige clair to add a light neutral. For me, it was helpful to think about my needs and then curate a collection from there.

Hi all! I am in a bit of dilemma. I really want it a caviar classic WOC in GHW. I walked into a boutique a few days ago and they actually had classic flap in caviar GHW and they didn’t have the WOC. I think it’s a bit of impulse, and I just bought the classic CF in caviar GHW small. I just felt like it’s such a good opportunity especially it is so hard to find nowadays

But after thinking about it, I just feel like I don’t have a lot of occasions to wear a $9000 CF around a lot.

so now I’m debating if I should 1) return it 2) keep it as investment (not sure how easy it is to resell) or 3) keep it and use it instead of the WOC.

She's beautiful! Why don't you feel like you'll wear it?
I probably wear my WOC and mini rectangular about the same - I like the WOC for nighttime outings and short errand runs, but like the mini for longer errands/everyday use. I'm debating buying a small CF soon but not sure if it's worth it, size wise.
