CHANEL CHIT CHAT Thread!

Ah thank you so much for the info! Is the caviar you have like soft and smooth? I guess mine isn’t rough but I can feel the slight texture but the caviar itself isn’t protruding out as much as I usually see online. It’s such an expensive bag so I want to be more certain that the quality I have is fine.

I think the picture shows the caviar in super high contrast. Mine feels smooth yet you can still feel the grain texture if that makes any sense.
It doesn't feel rough, I don't think it's supposed to be rough. It's soft yet grainy. The diamond can be pressed down and rise back up. Is there anyway you can go to the store to sample another piece to get a peace of mind? If not, try to watch a few YouTube videos and see if it seems similar to yours. I've felt about 4 of these purses and none of them feel "rough".
Editing to add a picture of mine..does it look similar to yours?

Hi! I have a question I was hoping to get insight on. I’m thinking about selling my Chanel Mini Rectangular in caviar (ghw). Almost unused. Has anyone sold or purchased one preloved recently? If so, any advice on how much this can be sold for? I tried looking around online but it was difficult given they’re not sold often anymore. Still waiting for a quote from fashionphile.

Has anyone experienced increased scratching on the male part of the CC turnlock because of the new screws on the Chanel Paris plate? I have a new medium classic flap purchased in March 2022 and the turnlock is so scratched up after just a few uses compared to my other CC turnlocks on bags that have been used for much longer.

The only thing I can think of is this new screw. What a flawed design?!

No idea, but I imagine a really great price because it's not sold in caviar anymore. I see one on sale with excellent condition on fashionphile listed for over $8,200. Wow! Higher than a small classic flap.. here is the link..

Thanks! I saw that one as well and was shocked! But I was only quoted $5,700 from Fashionphile so it feels like the price is everywhere (granted I know there are fees selling to them). I’ll do some more homework

I came back from a long break from the fashion world Chanel handbag in particular and just found out today that the jumbo is not 4k and is 10k!

WTF

did they address quality issue?

I also have been away for quite a long time. It’s all different now. When I bought my jumbo it was under 3K. I do miss the old days when one could walk into a boutique and buy whatever without it being out of stock or “reserved“.

Hello everyone, I have a question!
I just bought a Chanel in cavair Beige Clair and, of course, now I'm scared about color transfer.
I love light bags and I have a beige/nude Gucci marmont and a beige Ysl puffer mini; I always wear them with black coats, black/blue blazers and all the black dresses I have. Never had color transfer, nothing, even on my green bottega veneta cassette! Should I be scared for the beige Chanel? The ysl puffer bags has a really soft leather so I think it should be more prone to color transfer

I went 10 years in between shopping at Chanel. The sticker shock was intense when I came back this year. I agree it was so nice when you could go in a boutique and just buy whatever. I feel like the customer service was nicer too.

I 100% agree with you there as well. One in particular seemed to give my friend the up/down disproval stamp before even learning what we wanted to look at. And an old SA seemed dare I say, was less friendly.

Should I get this hat? I know it's ridiculous. But I have been thinking about it since early spring and I just love the pattern, I haven't liked any other bucket hat print and frankly I rarely ever like any Chanel scarf prints.
Reasonably, I've been having a very Chanel full year. Mostly things I bought on a whim but were never mainstays on my wishlist.
But sun protection is important. And woe is me, I keep reasoning with myself that I should get it as a... Trade off? To all my health issues lately, one of which is a high level of hair shedding, therefore I do need to protect my scalp from the sun.
Alas it means I have to be very good with my shopping budget until winter.

Nope don't do it! The hat is cute but not cute enough to spend on it. Remember there are other collections coming out!! You will be excited about something else chanel next week.
