Def not replacement..I think chanel will lose a lot of customers and also go against its roots as a brand....def not something even a mildy sane person would decide on...must say never liked the new chain
I think the new chain gives the bags a new edge that attract a younger generation to discover Chanel. The new chain can however never replace the old one, but it does make a good complement.
i prefer the old BUT saw the black caviar jumbo with the new, at NM, and it is absolutely gorgeous...perfect blend of traditional and edgy..............i loved it
