These are pictures of an old Chanel of mine
Notice the different gold hardware & the lamb looks puffier.
I stopped buying Chanel about 6 years ago, moved over to Hermes & use LV coated canvas for inclement weather or situations where I do not feel right wearing my Hermes.
I was truly loyal to Chanel except it changed. Quality, overproduction, & much easier to come by. So yes, something had to give. I believe it was quality. At the prices they are asking for their leather goods, there should be the assurance of a well made bag & great customer service.
Times change. I had to adjust my tastes. Though I am disappointed, it was the right choice for me

I totally feel the same way. The vintage Chanel's are of such a high quality. It sounds strange, but I can almost feel the luxury and pride that went into my luxury Chanel bags. I actually have a 2009 Jumbo Single Flap in caviar with gold hardware and honestly, I don't like it. No kidding, when I opened the package, I thought I'd received a high-quality replica (I'm actually going to post it here to be re-authenticated). The caviar feels like hard plastic, the hardware is nowhere near the deep, golden yellow as the gilded 24K hardware, the strap links are smaller an lighter weight - on a scale from 1 - 10, I'm a solid 4 with happiness for this bag :sad:. I very much prefer my vintage bags.

Remember when department stores had sales three or four times a year, and it was a huge thing to have a sale? So much has changed.. I was talking with a friend who is fifteen years my junior. She was raving about how great the quality of J Crew clothing. I told her “Girl, you just don’t know.” They have nothing to compare and this is all the current generation know; fast fashion, cheap clothing at cheap prices. If the hem is finished it’s considered great quality. Just plain sad.
I appreciate your and Vanana’s insights; very spot on.

So true. I've got a vintage wool coat and it is the best article of clothing I own. It is so durable and nearly indestructible - not to mention its actually WARM. Quality. Built to last. Built with pride in mind.

Do you know how many for the warranty? I don't have any chanel boutique near me :sad: I need to either send it back to France or perhaps drop by the Boutique when I go to Vietnam end of this month.

I know this is an old post, but just FYI: some credit cards double the warranty of purchases you buy using their cards. I think American Express is one of them. I’m not sure if purses are included, but it’s worth finding out. Also, if your item is stolen within 3 months from the date of purchase, many have purchase protection, which will reinburse you for the amount you spent (up to a certain amount and a limited amount of claims, I think), if you can prove the item was purchased legitimately and stolen (police report, etc).
