I regret not buying my CF medium a lot sooner when it was around €5k. By the time I purchased mine last November it was almost €9k… I try not too think about that too often

I have the same regret on CFs and here I am now super late to the game buying them. Ugh!
If there is any consolation, we are not alone in wishing we had bought CFs earlier prior to those aggressive price hikes!
I regret buying the medium coco handle in caramel color. It's a beautiful bag but I only used it twice and it's showing wear on one of the corners. I could have either saved the money or bought something else.
I had a similar situation with a bag, but I waited and waited and finally one appeared in perfect condition on resale market for not much markup!
I regret buying a white mini reissue. No matter what I wear and I’m very careful with my bags, I can still see color transfer on the back of the bag every single time. Luckily I can clean it wip baby wipes, but it makes me afraid to reach for it.
My biggest regret was not purchasing the classic medium flap in turquoise from 17C when I was in NYC. At the time, it was $4900 and I had just purchased a bag and didn't want to pay NYC tax rate, which is higher than my state. Looking back, I never forgot about how beautiful this bag was and that I missed out.
I regret not getting the 21c light pink small classic flap, it was $6,200 at that time. I still think about it all the time and will for a long time.

Exact same boat as OP.
On top of that I had chance to get 18s green and patrol blue minis as well as woc. Passed them all...

Yea, I see some gabrielle backpacks on the resale markup for less than 4000 sometimes, and they look like they're in pretty good shape. I'm probably going to go that route soon! But I recently bought a new thing from Chanel that's eating up funds for this year ;p
If I had known about all the crazy price increases I would have bought so much more years ago
My biggest and only regret (thank goodness!) when it comes to Chanel is selling away my reissue 224. Black and GHW. I didn’t like mini bag then.
But some of my Chanel bags made up for it (got them way before these crazy price hike). Medium/jumbo flaps, reissues.
My single flap jumbo of 2009 is still pristine till this day. It was only I think 2700usd!
