I'd choose Vuitton over Chanel any day, but I can see how the Twist is not the kind of classic that will keeps its magic for 20-30-40 years as a Chanel.
Btw what colours it is, what leather?

oh dear. I hope it can keep its magic though. I love gold hardware. I got this in indigo colour. I love love the epi leather cos it is so durable(I feel)

when I first bought my twist mm, it was in 2018 and the price was also a bit of a pinch for me. but upon using it I realise how versatile it was and how much it fits all my essentials comfortably (without having to play Tetris). I own over 40 bags and this piece became one of my favourites.. I've worn it a lot to work and even off-work to the malls and such. its a great bag and really hardy. no regrets on my end

i wish i bought it in 2018 cos the price increase is also pretty high and now even higher.. I hope I would not regret this either

Twist is a beautiful bag and style is not really new. Several years ago I went to the handbag museum in Amsterdam and displayed in the case were twist bags from the 1980s. I did not know before going to the museum that the twist was actually based upon a vintage Louis Vuitton design. If you love it, that’s all that matters. I personally don’t care what others think about my bags. I buy what I love. But only you can answer if you prefer a Chanel.

The twist is one of my dream bags! I understand that the Chanel CF is an iconic bag, and I would also love to have one. However, I find the current prices absolutely absurd.
The twist is modern and fresh, but also classic in a way.
I’m sorry that you are having these feelings, these bags are supposed to make us happy. I had the same feeling when I bought my (only) Chanel bag (a seasonal flap), but my feelings changed to happiness in a couple of days. Maybe it’s the same with you?

maybe i am just easily affected by others. I actually really do like this bag! But i just get affected when people say it is not worth your money. Why buy it???

Actually, if you think about it very rationally and cold, none of the luxury bags is worth so much money. Sure, you pay the design and some quality, but you mostly pay for the status and the feeling of having a designer item. It’s something intangible.
to me it’s mostly about the design, I rarely find the perfect details to a similar lower-priced item. But that’s me and my perfectionist aspect.
To sum up: these bags aren’t worth so much money, if you see it from a completely financial, cold-hearted point of view. But there is also the subjective, emotional point of view. We all choose what is right for us in a certain moment.
