I have a question about Chanel RTW

Can the same pieces be made in different factories with the tiniest differences?
Different colour Chanel main label, slightly different internal care label etc.

I bought my mum a cardigan from an online consignment shop, and looking at the item codes online i can see there small differences in the piece - black label vs white, care label slightly different, seaming slightly different. Etc. it only strikes me as weird as the fabric of the cardigan is technically hard to produce, and the braided trim even hard to do.


I’m sure Chanel like all other premium brands has different factories around the world making their clothes, taking advantage of labelling laws that mean a small cc badge has to be sewn on in france and thats all to say its ‘made in France”

Pictures of the piece i bought attached, keen to hear people’s thoughts and experiences.
Hi I am afraid that the item shown in your photos looks fake, especially the first photo with the label. I think you probably want to learn more about the brand in the boutique before buying online. I hope that you can still return it.

Thanks a lot for the list of INS. I follow madam arisa as well and notice that her posts are mostly total looks from 2 brands - she always looks wonderful in Chanel (but kind of meh... in the other brand IMO).
For Chanel eye candies, I sometimes check out @Katyackermann

I had a chance to pop in and try things ! :smile:

The infamous joggers came with me. The 5 top was so cute. It’s machine wash ;). I’m waiting for the 5 in green.

The pink cardi I initially was meh about but it’s soft and cozy. This was a 36. The top fit pretty well (I have no chest) but the bottom is snug. It’s so low cut my goodness. I thought the buttons were nice. I can kind of see why it’s expensive. The trim looks “drawn” on but it’s actually stitched in and it’s varying widths. So it’s prob a bit complex to do. I have a pic of me wearing it as a dress but it’s rather revealing so I will stick to wearing it as a cover for my joggers :smile: haha! The buttons are cute and they are very substantial. They make a very nice thunk sound.

@pigleto972001 I absolutely looove the pink cardi on you! I was feeling lukewarm about it, but now I want to give it a go once it hits my store!

On a side note, I wanted to get everyone’s opinion regarding this suit I tried. I liked the colour and cut of it, but I’m not a massive fan of the tweed. It doesn’t feel as interesting as any of my other pieces. I really like how the suit looks on me, but I’m wondering if I only like it because I haven’t liked anything at Chanel for a while.

As a suit lover I think this is so beautiful on you - it’s a lighter tweed and a flattering color. Chanel is doing less suits lately which has been personally disappointing but understand that people’s lifestyles are changing.
Seeing you in this suit is a joy - but YOU have to feel the love.
My rule of thumb is you just don’t want to take it off - that you feel the Chanel Magic.
It fits you like a glove - thank you so much for sharing.
PS you have a beautiful smile - an asset to any outfit !

Looks so nice on you. If you can pull it off cost wise, get the look just like you are wearing.
