Chanel price increase - Crazy or not

I know right! My mum bought a classic medium flap for around $1200 in the 90s, which would be equivalent to $2400 today to account for inflation. Not only has the quality significantly decreased, but Chanel is now selling the same purse for $6500. It's not worth it for me anymore .

And I bet your mum's bag probably still looks new!

Chanel prices are definitely crazy! Chanel is only interested in making huge profits from animals. Bag Materials made from animal skin and expect it to last?! For how long?

Why not put the money into R&D and come up with really long lasting materials not from the slaughter house? After I sold off all my Chanel bags and left only a fabric one, I have NO regrets.

Crazy. But people (myself included) will continue to buy them.

Crazy but those who love Chanel, will still go back to it. Nothing else will replace a Chanel (not even Hermes because they look and function totally different).

Crazy especially after the recent price increase. I'll still buy every once in a while but probably explore other brands because these prices are hard to justify.
