I had been thinking of this for a while now, and am thinking it may just be a matter of time before we see the Chanel bags be a thing of the past. Why you might ask? Well one the fact that Coco has been gone for over 30 years almost 40 now, Karl is not getting any younger (he will be turning 80 this year) and the fact that most designers want there own labels. I am wondering who is going to be the next to take over the brand? To me in the next 10 - 20 years I see the Chanel label disappearing at least most of the bag's, I think the clothing line and probably the makeup - Cologne will hang around for a while but, I don't see the bag's being around, why? My feeling is they are either 1. going to be sold to another company or bought out. I don't think the current owners of the Chanel label really care anymore (if you read the history of Chanel you will find there was a huge fight over the name and ownership) Since Madam Chanel didn't have a family the label name went to a German family (they where big on the cologne) I really think Hèrmes is going to over take Chanel in the future as well as Louis Vuitton and Prada will be strong as well as Gucci. I think the big designers are going to branch out on there own, specially if the reality shows such as Project Runway ect are still on TV. The big name's in time I have a feeling are going to start disappearing and you will find newer names come into the picture.
what do you all think? and what are some of your idea's?
