No worries. We all mis-speak at times. Be well!
What are some of your unpopular Chanel opinions?

- Caviar Leather which is durable is also feels like plastic
- Medium flap chain length is too short
- lack of decent crossbody bags for anybody over 5'4"
- the price is to high versus the quality of the leather and materials
- the lack of understated bags, everything screams Chanel with the double c logo
I still want a Chanel bag though and probably in Caviar so really I guess I am falling for the hype despite the points above

You may find the right one! I prefer lamb in a big way, but none of my caviar looks or
feels plastic-y

I try so hard to like the Reissue, it looks so nice on everyone but it's just not for me.
I sold my mini rectangular flap as I bought into the hype and I didn't like it on me in the end. Prefer my WOC as I'm tall.
Not a fan of the Gabrielle hobo and 19 bag unless it's the tweed version.
I do have a thing for the cc logo though. I can't help it

I like the understatement of the Reissue and Gabrielle. And I love Chanel quality and chicness, yet not a big fan of the big CCs for me.
Same sentiment. There’s a Chanel in San Francisco (which is 1.5-2 hours away). But, some of the wealthiest tech people live in and around the South Bay (Palo Alto, San Jose, Morgan Hill). And we don’t have a Chanel here. We have all other brands even Hermès (no Goyard either, boo).
Seattle also has a Chanel boutique in Nordstrom- Downtown Seattle. Honestly, luxury shopping in Seattle/Bellevue sucks. We have the Bravren but not that many people even go there. Shopping in general sucks in Seattle.
Well, it’s seems many of us share clusters of the same “unpopular” opinions. 
Here are mine:
• I hate the Gabrielle bag. Seriously. That hard bottom and the multiple straps...ugh
• The 19 looks like someone took one of the worn out, soft, shapeless Chanels on eBay and did a craft project putting pearls and doodads on it. I want to like it. I just absolutely can’t.
• The double flap makes no sense. Chanel can (and does) design a bag that holds its shape without the extra fussiness.
• I don’t understand having lots and lots of black Chanel bags because I don’t see that as variety. But, to each his or her own.
• I think Chanel jewelry is overpriced and looks tacky.
• Chanel has yet to design a good looking shoe that feels fresh and modern.
• I’ve always liked the Boy and still do.
• I would like to see the brand innovate beyond quilting and chains. Don’t know how they would do it but I’m game!

I thought that until I saw one in this blue grey color from Paris. Loved it on my outfits. I would say depends on the color haha
you mean the Rebecca Minkoff's look like the Chanel Reissue tehhehe jk I got you
I kinda agree, even tho I own a few. They are so heavy and gives me a headache.Chanel sunglasses are trashy
There's a Chanel in neiman marcus at Stanford but they never have anything good.
I hate the 19 and Gabrielle bags...but I also can’t stand gold hardware so that doesn’t help their cause 
i feel so bad typing this but i'm just gna say it ... some people recently make Chanel look trashy/cheap .... i'm having a hard time recognizing the brand sometimes are true luxury .. seems everyone can get their hands on it which would be cool but sometimes the styling is terrible and it's blasted in your face everywhere ... sorry 4 ranting ;P
