I have had my love affair with Dior! I do love Dior! I think the only thing I have left of the brand right now is a beautiful gold water snake studded small Lady Dior I bought in Florence last year. I have seen the quality decline there as well, and the designs (IMHO) have become a little redundant. BUT the quality IS much better than Chanel, and the customer service is amazing. MGC as a CD isn't my favorite, but really neither was Raf. There is life in that brand though, and it's still "luxury" I think. If I had to choose, of course I would go with Dior over Chanel right now. I have dipped my feet in most other brands, I was immersed in Dior for awhile. I am not a huge fan of the saddle or the totes, and have been through a ton of Lady Diors, so nowhere for me to go with them right now!
I am doing Hermes and Delvaux. And by Hermes I mean that in the last week I've bought 11 bags. Like , REALLY doing it! And not everyone has Delvaux, they are so original and all handmade, and no logo, so that makes me happy
I do love Chanel but besides the quality decline the collections have been uninspired especially Cruise 2020.i too have a love affair with my lady dior! I was hesitant on the saddle bag also I think I will get the Montaigne 30 in blue oblique. Hermès has two bags I was looking at I really wanted a light pink boy from Chanel. A little worried cause I was looking at a Halzan but I was told Hermès stopping production of Halzan. Maybe a should look into deI have had my love affair with Dior! I do love Dior!

Oh I'm so happy you mentioned Delvaux, I've been looking at them recently! I sold nearly ALL of my Chanels including the classic flaps and am down to three. The first two I ever bought and a mini reissue because I love it as a daily and it's proven to be solid so far considering it's from the recent collection. I made the jump to Hermes, a bit by bit, but I'm full in now. I have some vintage H too and they are incredible looking for being over 20 or so years old, so that solidified the leap!
I looked at Barneys website they are having a sale on some delaux! I might do that and Dior instead of Chanel. Was also considering Hermès Constance 18 but I have no idea what color!
Thank you for this!! You are inspiring me! I am so glad you're happy with making the switch. Did you ever look back??
They are for sure! If you call someone who works in the dept they might give you a bigger discount FYI...
This really looks like a fake chanel bag. It looks so tacky to me, I was shocked.
That’s awesome! Thanks for the suggest. Do you know anyone there? Which styles do you have? What colors? All their styles look very classic which is completely my style. I think that’s why I always liked Chanel. But that cruise the more I see it the more I question what demographic are they trying to capture? Denim?really?♀️
Ahhhhh I need to go look right now, hahaha! I had no idea they have a sale on some, thanks!
Surprisingly, not at all! I think seeing all these quality issues come up has helped push the jump also. I spent a lot of time reading and watching videos on H makes their bags and it really helps justify the pricing. Watching the video from their atelier on making a Kelly was impressive! Seeing how one artisan constructs the bag—amazing.
However, I do still love how the Chanel Reissues look, and I always will because of the heritage of the house. Chanel to me was true haute couture, the first, so that’s why I keep some pieces. I wish they would have kept that quality going because I always wonder what Gabrielle Chanel would think today of how it’s changed.
She IS turning in her grave!
Yes and Yes. Nothing wrong with that - it's just not as elevated IMO. I wonder what the price point on the blazers?
