Made in Italy vs Made in France vs Made in Spain

Are they actually made in france or italy?????? I've always wondered that!

 

[iqaganda]

Yep! Chanels are made from either France or Italy. Check the Reference Library on some more infos.

My Luxe flap and bowler are both made in France, as well as my Cambon bowler. All the rest of my Chanel bags are made in Italy.

My Bronze Luxe Flap says made in Italy - no silver plate.

Aren't Chanel bags suppose to be made in France? I'm eying a cambon ligne pochette but the inside says MADE IN ITALY. Is that possible?

 

[alouette]

Yep, it's possible. They can either have a tag that states made in france or made in italy.

I have never been able to figure out why some bags are made in italy and some in france. Not even the SA's know.

I think the classic ones are made in France, where the trendy ones, not permanent collections are made in Italy. Maybe their factory is not big enough but the way I see it it's better Italy than China.

^^I just checked my PST and it also says Made In Italy...

I do not work in Chanel but what what happens in the manufacturing industry is that factories rent their space for chain production. Sometimes the factory is not big enough or they're simply not interested (because somebody else is willing to pay more for it) so you have to go to another factory. This would explain why some Chanel goods are made in France and others Italy.

my madison also says made in italy and I bought it in a Chanel boutique, so it should be possible.
I also thought there were only factories in France, but maybe it's like steffibp said that only the classic ones are made there..

When I was picking out my new Medallion tote, the boutique had four of them, two made in France and two made in Italy. All the same bag but there were actually subtle differences. I wanted one made in France so the poor SA ended up dragging out all four boxes so DH and I could check all four bags with a fine tooth comb and get one made in France.

I prefer Chanel bag Made in Italy but Made in France for LV.

wow, are there actually differences in quality then? Or is it just the thought?

^^^The handles on the Medallion totes made in Italy were much thinner than the ones made in France. The leather felt different, too. France made was softer.
