My biggest Chanel regret is selling all 9 of my Chanel bags in 2019. They are a mix of runway, seasonal classic (reissue, boy), and just straight up seasonal. I didn’t own any quintessential classics at that time because I liked being different.

Anyway, I sold them all at once to fund my b25 special order. So yes, I lost a lot of money on the sale, but the b25 it funded is my most favorite bag of all time and a true head-turner.

Somehow, I am back on the Chanel cycle. Now, I am buying pre-loved quintessential classics. I never owned them before, but it makes sense for me to buy them now. I have a 227 reissue black ghw, and a CF shw on the way.

My only regret is not buying WOC before all the price increases. Now I feel like I can’t buy it because I remember the price from many years ago, but I still want one so bad! And I can’t even fathom preloved bc some of the preloved prices might as well get a new one.
I feel for you! It was expensive 4 years ago when I bought mine. Now it doesn’t even make sense. Just crazy pricey for what it is.

I regretted not buying one in Paris when I had the chance and they were around 1000 Euro. I have gotten a couple here and there since that time and just recently went ahead and purchased a new classic black caviar WOC with gold hardware from the boutique. Did I choke a little over the price? Yup, but, I am already seeing the resale sites charging even more than what I just paid. Now to just use it and make it an everyday piece.

To those with tweed bags - do you ever regret getting one? If so, why? And what’s the current condition of your tweed bags - does your bags have any frays? Or are they still in great condition? Please share! :smile:
I’m curious to hear about this too! I like some tweed bag designs but the prices are high for me to splurge on something that’s not leather. Also wondering about the upkeep?

I regret selling some of my bags 2 years ago. I NEVER ever sell but I was going through a phase where I was updating my wardrobe and style. I really regret selling my 19S pearl flap in particular, my cream pearl deauville (which I later bought back for more :facepalm:) and my pale pink caviar jumbo.

I saw an amazing sequin rectangle mini a few years back. My in-laws were offering to pay for more than half as my birthday present. I couldn’t justify the price and went with a LV instead. I think of that bag often and know I won’t buy it now lol

I have two tweed minis. One is the gold/multi color from the Egypt collection and the other is the black/white/pastel tweed from a bit over a year ago. I don't use them often, but they're still in excellent shape. No regrets on getting them, but I have a fairly extensive collection with lots of classics that get regular use.

I have one m/l tweed CF. It was purchased in March 2020.

It is in excellent shape, but I don’t use it a ton. No regrets on this purchase.

The Chanel bag I really regret is a mini CF in brown leather from 2021 FW collection. Chanel doesn't produce a lot of brown leathers, even less speaking of the CF. I still think about it 2 years later... The regret feeling hurts even more when I remember that the bag was sold for 3800€ : it costs 4800€ nowadays

(I found a picture on the internet)
:doh:
