Are you serious? Many wealthy people who can afford many bags, among other things, don’t live near the all mighty CHANEL store. This is one of the most uneducated statements ever stated on this forum. Get out more when this quarantine is over. Many places you should visit with many interesting, educated, successful people out there.
What are some of your unpopular Chanel opinions?

Unfortunately, some seasonal pieces are rather cheaply made.
Super Dacob had one (extra mini multicolore) that had to be sent to the boutique more than once to repair poor workmanship while it was still new...finally, Chanel did a hack job by shortening the chain without telling him, but he had measured it on an unboxing and got fed up and asked for a refund/store credit.Other seasonal items are like, "ooh, I want that." "What?? All the boutiques here have already sold out??? And we're not getting any more?!
" and are certainly well-made. There are a few seasonal bags I feel like I missed out on and I keep checking resale sites to see if anyone is selling (and they aren't...)...they are seasonal variants of classics, though (2 WOCs, 2 Reissues.)
All the people panic buying Chanel before the price increase will be in for a rude shock when they realize that they’ve either settle and bought the wrong bag or the financial situation changed that it’s actually reckless to spend...
There will be a large influx of selling in the next couple of months

That persons post just made me laugh. It’s the words of someone who really doesn’t live in the ‘exclusive’ world they think they do but is desperate to advertise themselves as such. The wealthiest people I know do have a sort of pied a terre in London - but they spend most of their time in the deep countryside in massive houses etc. They also probably don’t give two tosses about buying designer goods. They just buy what they buy, when they buy it
Yes this. I’ve listed a few bags for sale prior to the price increase. Not many were keen on the price point which I’ve listed the bags at. And now after the price increase news came out, I’ve received an influx of inquiries and offers. Sigh
I hate the crocodile stitch (actually, I just hate any kind of treatment of a leather that is supposed to make it look like croc/python/whatever exotic).
My grandmas were incredibly stylish and well-dressed, so if a Chanel item is “grandma-ish,” that’s a selling point for me!
I very much dislike Karl Lagerfeld, for a variety of reasons, but design-wise I wish he hadn’t pivoted the brand to be so logo-centric. A perfectly lovely boot is ruined because “CHANEL” is stamped in gigantic letters down the side.

I just can not justify under any circumstances why someone would make a statement like this, so sad....
Mini reissue >>>>>>>>>>>>> classic mini
it’s just so much better.
it’s just so much better.
Price increase, plenty of complaints = consumers still purchasing.
I love Chanel, own 2 m/l, 3jumbos, 1 226 & 1 Trendy CC, has 7 more items on my wishlist but this is just me being picky:
1. Sometimes the sound of the chain is annoying.
2. Chain’s weight heavier than the body of the bag.
3. Distressed leather on the reissue is not flattering at all, it should be smooth calf & shiny hardware.
4. Minis & WOC are useless for me personally & although a starter “bag”, not worth it. Exception of the 19s pearl mini, it’s on my list.
5. CC can be overwhelmingly lazy, slap it on earrings, t-shirt, belt, bracelets, shoes... I mean... makes me want to puke.
6. Quilting on everything, it starts to look like diaper bag and same like no.5, want to puke.
7. Same as no.5, makes me wonder what’s the deal with the CC earings, brooch etc, costume jewellery is waste of money.
8. SLG, they’re like, scraps of leftovers leather from making bags, am I right? Then they just make it into small little pouches & wallets for money grab. Especially when I see people who need a card case, coin purse, key pouch, a pouch to put more pouches in lol just get a wallet that fits everything! Don’t even get started on them putting organisers into pouch into organisers into bags!!! Drove me crazy.
9. Chanel 19 will end up like the Celine lugguage bag.
10. Gabrielle bag seems cumbersome... though 19s croc embossed is on my list.
11. Chevron only looks good on the boy. On anything else it’s like very granny, old and boring sorry.
12. Single flap jumbo > Double flap
13. Please let the really beat up, tired looking vintage flaps take a rest, look so pitiful, fragile.
14. Diana flap over priced.
15. So black are depressed goth bags. Just kidding.
16. Coco handle is cute but ugly af, like the handle is thicc.
17. Larger caviar grain look better imo the 20c grey looks a little plasticky.
18. I miss silver hardware... it’s been all light gold lately...
Lastly; Why oh why did they pick Kristin Stewart as a Chanel girl??

Exactly the problem I have. I see nice bags, shirts, what have you, but then they're ruined (to me) by having logomania. I especially hate when a really beautiful bag, in wonderful leather, in a great shape, so lush and luxurious looking, then has the designer name stamped in gold on it. It never fails to ruin it for me because I'm paying for a beautiful piece of work. Not to be the designer's hype-man. And the "CC" logo, for me, can be cute sometimes, like on jewelry but distracting and even tacky looking when on a bag. I understand why Lagerfeld did it: It SELLS. A lot of of people aren't like me and more power to them! It's just not for me. Let the design, details, and leather shine through. That should be enough if it's any good.
I love boy bag
I love jumbo and maxi bags over minis
I don't like gabrielle
I like 19 only if they make chain one color, too busy looking

So I have a silk top from several seasons ago and it has a rhinestone cc logo in the bottom corner. It’s quite small so it doesn’t bother me too much but one day when I wore it while shopping a sales lady at Sephora asked me if I had sewn it on myself.
Sadly that’s how tacked-on they look sometimes!I love the Chanel north/south boy and think I'm going to buy it as my first Chanel bag! I know a lot of people hate it but I think it's young, fun, and unique. I also think it looks a lot better on than the east/west boy, which looks weirdly boxy to me
