I dont see any scratches on mine. On the other hand my Friend lamb mini has a lot of wears and tears for a month used. Never happens to my patent mini.Patent is so pretty. I can look and drool vicariously. Personally, I'd scratch it easily so I can't buy
WheN I am carrying my lamb skin mini, never receive any compliments but my mini patent is the opposite. “ What Chanel store you got this bag and when, so beautiful I want one” she is standing out. I dont like lady dior in any leather, not my cup of tea.
Aren’t you on the other thread, where you embraced minimalism and sold off all your bags?

Yes , I sold everything the previous collection of mine. And Covid attacked , I have a lot of free time to browse anD trying to make my collection workable again. Limited items to classic and long term wearing.
Mini often resales more than it's retail price and extremely hard to get from the boutique, it's the only classic looking flap can be worn perfect length crossbody and shoulder bag unless go for reissue. The mini has the highest percentage price incase in the last Chanel price increase that's just shows you how high the demand is and it is going to be in Chanel's lineup for a foreseeable future. Right now Fashionphile's mini rectangular is around $4,000, the black patent with gold or silver hardware are more than $4,500, holds better value more than any other Chanel bags
First of all I don’t care about the “resale value” I buy bags to enjoy not to make money. I’d invest in stocks if I wanted to make money. Also the price you see on fashionphile is definitely NOT the price you would get as an individual! You will get usually 30% less than what you see on consignment stores listings. Maybe you will get a bit more if you try places like eBay or Facebook, but then you also have the risk of losing everything to fraud, not mentioning the amount of time and energy you’ll have to put into the selling process...I used to have two mini both in classic color, kept in good condition, sold both and lost quite a bit of money. Now I have a small and medium, they’re so much better than the minis, both in terms of the quality and the looks. My lambskin square mini started to lose structure after less than a year, and the rectangular mini just has an awkward chain length imo, unless you’re very tall. The classic is called a classic for a reason. I do think the price difference between mini and small/medium makes sense.
You bought high and sold low that's why you would lose money, I bought a brand new full set classic medium flap black for 2,800ish, how much do you think I will lose if I to sell it someday? I have bought and sold some Chanels by myself and to consignments, all but 1 made great profits.
I personally don’t have time for this kinda stuff, I only want to enjoy my bags, which means buying from boutique and selling to fashionphile, otherwise they’re not called “luxury”.
yeah right, enjoy the bags and losing the money when selling them is luxury
The style is classic no matter what kind of material and color.
To Enjoy luxury Doesn’t mean at the end you lose money.
you must be very wealthy. A regular person like myself who cherishes Chanel style ,gotta think a lot where to sell and fund for new handbags because money doesn't grow on trees. I always manage time for that. It’s part of luxury and I am not tired.
