Chanel-legend vs Balenciaga

I own both and see the beauty in both. I used to buy Chanel exclusively and lived and breathed the forum. Once quality began to diminish in 2008, I crossed over to Balenciaga (after having left bbags behind in 2004).

Although I use my bbags more, I do still love my Chanel bags lots. I will never purchase anything new from Chanel again due to the inflated prices and reduced quality (not to mention unflattering new styles) but do peruse the auction sites now and again for oldies.
 
I love both. Each has a unique quality. And chanel can also be dressed down and still look fab, so it doesn't necessarily have to be posh and boring ladies who lunch-esque
 
May be the price of Chanel is ridic. Bbag is such a everyday bag. I use it everyday. I have 2 Chanel and never benn used. But I got 4 Bbag and used them all.
I plan to buy a RH WORK too.
 
I have both and love both. I use my chanel when I'm dressing up a little more and my bbag when I want a little more edge. They are both so different I think it is nice to have both b/c of the different function each one serves.
 
used to own quite few Chanel HG but ended sold all to buy bbags ;)
but i would definately buy a chanel classic medium flap for formal event WHEN i'm done with bbags :graucho::graucho:
