I don't recommend Burberry as they're just as guilty of cutting costs to chase margins as the other big houses.
I’ve tried to give extra leeway, but the thread has veered way off topic several times. Please stick to topic as it’s confusing to follow for lots of folks!
Hi Admins and OP is there a way to split the tread and take some of these informative context and put it into new thread? So we can continue to learn and add new information about these brands. I think goal is to know what we are paying for (apart from logo/brand), when these brands don’t disclose some of their “secret sauce”.

I think that's a good idea b/c clearly this is the potluck thread....(or has become that, but I've loved it)Hi Admins and OP is there a way to split the tread and take some of these informative context and put it into new thread?

Trying hard to respond respectfully, but no. We have many off topic threads, no one has time to pull them apart…
Please, like all the other discussions, stick to topic.
Just saw this video on heart bag , and thought of sharing
This is just BAD. I'm not sure I have ever really heard about this one before, chain attachments falling off....I mean not even with minis for years and years? Again ...something shady is happening the last couple of seasons. And that heart bag "everyone wanted" until there are 94 for sale on Fashionphile right now, discounted...(at one point in think there were over 130 on there)...https://www.fashionphile.com/shop?search=chanel+love+heart+bag.
I saw this posted online, recent purchase of a classic flap and there is peeling. 
okkkk this would REALLY piss me off. Has this person asked Chanel what they will do about it? What season is it from? Also whatever is underneath the peeling looks like ....I don't know what it looks like. Not leather. Bag "brains" lol.
TBH, while this thread is extremely enlightening, even when it goes off topic to include history, beauty & fragrance, it seems as though it has zero impact regardless of the facts posted.
I appreciate the OP, who seems to know a lot as well as several other people who have provided great insight. Folks really don’t have all that much interest in that thing we call “facts”.
It’s a terrible shame that we aren’t supported in breaking this great information off into another thread in light of the scolding of going off topic.
Thank you to all who I have learned so much from. This is an amazing group of women or men who have contributed facts and enlightenment.
Please keep in mind that logos don’t demonstrate status or wealth.
Best to you all and once again thank you OP and those who have provided so much information that even I didn’t know. You’re a wonderful group and I hope that people start to realize that logos don’t buy class. Kindness, respect and search of knowledge does.

Given that we can’t sift through the threads to weed out the info,
@TraceySH , Could or should the thread be renamed ?
Something commensurate with the rise and fall of the Roman Empire perhaps; or something like Coco would have been appalled by; or never imagined that …. Lol

I think the information in this thread is def worthy of a new name etc.
