New Drag 22: Thoughts?
- Thread starter Meta
- Start date
Honestly I have no idea about Fashionphile, I have never purchased nor sold through them or any secondary market as I purchase directly from H but I see people posting on instagram about them...what I did read was that Chanel filed a lawsuit against Fashionfile for selling fakes...so it could have been by complete human error ( I give everyone the benefit of the doubt) but that is why I stir clear of all secondary resellers. It is always best to save your money and get the items directly for the Designer house themselves so there is never a doubt and IMHO, that kind of peace is something we can never put a price on
read page 3 paragraph 9...https://closetfullofcash.com/wp-content/uploads/Lawsuit-Chanel-Vs-FashionPhile.pdfAbsolutely beautiful! I love how thick the strap is, really made is sportier, hipper and chicer!
It's a gorgeous bag! I do think the lock is a "feature" here where on a lot of other H bags (including Drag 1.0) the lock is more of an option IYKWIM. But the bag itself is lovely and it's nice to see a Drag back.
Since the mini lindy didn't work out for me, I really want to get my hands on the new drag 22 now. Thank you so much @TheMrsoftheHB for sharing all the photos with us, it's a stunning bag and it would be amazing to take it on trips where you want your belongings to be extra secured (with the lock~) and it doesn't scream H like B/K/C. 
Chanel is actually going after the resellers or reselling third parties who do it cheap. I don’t see them going after Farfetch which also sold vintage Chanels at a higher price, but instead Chanel invested in them! Don’t believe in the ‘they are after resellers’ spiel. The authentication process in Farfetch is not any different from the other reputable reselling websites.Honestly I have no idea about Fashionphile, I have never purchased nor sold through them or any secondary market as I purchase directly from H but I see people posting on instagram about them...what I did read was that Chanel filed a lawsuit against Fashionfile for selling fakes...so it could have been by complete human error ( I give everyone the benefit of the doubt) but that is why I stir clear of all secondary resellers.

The main point is that they don’t want resellers to drive their price points down and ‘plebs’ like many of us who buy good vintage bags cheaper than what they like. How dare we !
After all, it isn’t like their classic flaps are so haute maroquinerie or so exclusive. Go to a large shopping mall in Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, a big city in China and a Chanel classic or WoC can be spotted easily.
In those parts of Asia, the Chanel classics are now reduced to “ congrats you are now in the upper middle class tier” and now they want their classics to be “only for the truly wealthy“ hence the recent quota rules like Hermes.
Edit: going to get hammered by Chanel aficionados but thats how my Asian friends explained it to me.
Hermes still retains the general mystique given its legendary ‘journey‘ or ‘quest’ to acquire their bags. However a drag bag will wow me a lot more so than a Himalayan birkin (after living in HK and a stint in Japan) , because it is very rare to see the drag bag around in Asia or even in Australia.
If offered one, I have no qualms buying the drag bag.

I had no idea! You just solved the only draw back to what is otherwise a perfect bag. Just put my bleu nuit togo Kelly strap on my bleu nuit evercolor Drag 2.
Perfect changing the strap
Looks beautiful that way!I use my noir Bolide 31 strap on my noir Evenlyne 29. A thinner strap is so much more comfortable than a wide hard leather strap or the straps that have heavy clumsy buckles to change its length.
