What are some of your unpopular Chanel opinions?

[Samantha S]

- Jumbo caviar is a heavy bag at least to me.
- Reissue is a bag that takes time to grow on me and I've came to love it to bits.
- costume jewellery is overpriced considering the fact that it's not even the real thing.

 

[agnesman1996]

-19 Chanel bag is ugly and will wear quickly
-Jumbo is not an elegant size for a classic flap
-Mini flaps are overrated due to the current small bag trend

19 chanel bag looks like a flattened saggy pancake version of a folded quilt

Gabrielle line, they definitely tried to push that like it was going to become the next “boy bag” aka long term sensation.

I think I just have one :

-Buying a bag and returning it bc a stitch that you can only see with a NASA microscope seems off by .0987 of a centimeter seems crazy to me. Chanel is crazy expensive and there shouldn’t be defects on the bag but I think the definition of “defect” has become insanely overinflated over the years (maybe going along with the pricing! Lol)

I hate caviar leather, sorry!! I think it feels super plasticy and even for insistent "durablilty" excuses, something about it feels un-luxurious. Lambskin, in my opinion, is just so much more sumptuous to the touch, but to each their own.

Chanel 19 bag, to me, looks like a folded duvet with a cc on it

ridiculous price increases but I don't think that that is too unpopular...

SORRY CHANEL, I LOVE YOU REALLY !

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??

any unpopular opinion on your trendy cc?

 

[OCMomof3]

A new unpopular opinion that I just realized I had: I don't care for the 19 bag in Maxi, and sometimes even in the large size. It looks like a pillow and the slouch is too exaggerated. However....I own this bag in the small size and think it looks perfect. Large enough to store a day's essentials, small enough not to look saggy.

 

[sparklywacky]

Costume jewelry and accessories are not worth it. I’d rather get jewelry made of true gold and has real gems.

 

[jwoe]

The 19 bag is a horrible looking bag (to me)

I don't get the hype over Coco handle, it's just not pretty. (Except the mini ivory pearly chevron, I'm so getting that one)

I'm not getting any more minis, it's just not "enough bag". They are cute but the feeling of a small or m/l is just so much "more". (Would never sell the ones I own though)

I don't mind the price increases (soooorry) I like how it keeps the brand exclusive and my pieces keep their value.

 

[J_L33]

Things I dislike about Chanel:

-That price
-How a lot of bags with sequins and embellishments or appliques look super home-crafty, like an elementary or high-school project
-Caviar leather feels like plastic or fake to the touch

 

[phishfan]

Unpopular opinion: bags are meant to be used and if they start showing wear after a while, that’s normal. Lol.

 

[jsscxx]

I don't understand the hype around the 19 and coco handle

Mini bags now seem overpriced

Costume jewellery is a waste of money for the quality you are paying

 

[tinyturtle]

This thread is so entertaining!!! lol. Here's mine:

-The jumbo double flap in caviar is NOT HEAVY. It's just annoying to get in and out of.
-Chanel makes ugly shoes (except for the ballerina flats and espadrilles).
-Chanel classic flaps are not everyday bags. If i'm going to spend that much money on a piece, it will definitely not be a workhorse bag. That's what LV and Balenciaga are for.

OMG. I feel the exact opposite! I tried carrying the jumbo for a day and the weight nearly took off my shoulder. As for the classic flaps being an everyday bag, I feel like if I'm going to spend that much money on a bag I might as well enjoy it as much as I can.

 

[tinyturtle]

I think the coco handle is really ugly. The handle looks like a bent iron rod to me. I'd probably love the bag if it weren't for the handle.

Omg finally someone else who feels this way! The handle looks like a stiff piece of plastic the designer forgot to replace with a nicer plush leather handle. I hate it! But I agree I would love it if it had a better handle.
