I wanted to ask about buying from that reseller but never bothered to answer me back... must get a lot of business!can you send these pictures to Chanel customer care????
I'm so sick of seeing Luxbuntoutou makes me angry
what are her issues with the bag? Most resellers don’t accept returns. Idk if Chanel does repairs on bags u didn’t order. I know their warranty for bags only lasts the first 5 years I think? And after that they won’t repair
I heard that SAs prefer selling to resellers too, as they are less fussy and buy a lot. That's probably the reason why some bags aren't "perfect", bc resellers won't care. They just want to flip for quick money. These resellers need to be reported
Ladies, good news! Some department store locations are cracking down! A Chanel Saks SA just told me that they have to check profiles before every sale going forward bc of all the resellers that abused 21p. Maybe not at all Saks but at least a few, hopefully this will spread
Sorry for it coming off as shade... totally understand how it did! I should probably have coffee before responding

I understand. I find I need to have coffee first too before basically doing anything. All good here. 
This will not change as long as people buy from resellers
chanel_vintage_sale should just change her IG name, most of the bags she’s selling are not even vintage bags. She has people in Japan help her source all the latest styles especially the pink color ones. Of course these bags are hard to find because her team buys all of them and resell the bags at a ridiculously high price. It’s a shame for her to even show off the bags on IG! People please stop buying from her!
Hmm I think this is just a result of Chanel’s marketing strategy. Sell the idea of exclusivity and build stronger brand loyalty by lowering supply to increase demand, just like Hermes. This was done through aggressive price increases, getting rid of caviar minis, and having less seasonal bags to sell. Thus, making their bags only attainable to a select few like RTW VIPs clientele. Chanel doesn’t want people who saves up to buy 1 bag or just walk in and buy one.
It seems like seasonal pieces are harder and harder to get now, you have to pre-order months ahead without seeing the bag in person and inspecting its quality issues. They’re targetting wealthier clientele who doesn’t bat an eye when spending on $7k+ bags or find little flaws on bags, moving away from clients who would only spend $3k+ on bags. Yeah, Chanel would lose money buying not have more bags available, but I think that’s short term loss over long term wins. It’s a nice problem to have. I think Chanel will probably max out their bags at 10k a piece in the next few years.
As for resellers, I’m skeptical that Chanel will care enough to fix this issue because resellers market will buy in bulk, guaranteed business and an example of how much people are willing to buy classic flaps 2nd hand (future projection). Next thing you know, you’d probably have to buy their RTW pieces before being offered their classic flaps and buy directly from them instead of through resellers. At least if you buy directly from Chanel, you are receiving other RTW pieces and not giving money to resellers to keep their day job/side gigs.
In the next couple of years, only way to circumvent this is continue to establish good relationships with SAs by buying their RTW pieces and you get a slot to purchase their classic flaps.

I had bought from personal shoppers before and my chanel boutique accepts to fix whatever I brought in . I fixed two pairs of earrings (not bought at the store directly myself) also two handbags (not bought under my name as well.
Her pieces are not from japan . I bought from her once and her items are from mainland China . She didn’t give me receipts but I found out because China has a tag sticker inside the box . She told me it was from japan but actually it’s not . but item is all good so I didn’t complain
