What are some of your unpopular Chanel opinions?

[Mairaculi]

- what’s up with the costume jewelry

I can't get it either. I'm not paying 500+€ for a pair of earrings that are made of fake pearls and with the material description “color gold“. Is it even gold plated? I guess not, otherwise they would put it in the item descriptions I guess...
For this amount of money you can get really good quality jewelry. Some designs are quite cute, but I'd say you pay 90% of the price just for the brand name.

• My unpopular opinion is not with handbag but with their RTW. Their aesthetic is old and dated - sue me
• People admire who they admire. I don't admire Coco Chanel but I wouldn't go out of my way to criticize people who admire her either. To each their own

I swear it adds 10 years to my age. I love how some women pull it off so beautifully! Not me...

The thing that gave color transfer on my pink WOC was the chanel coat I was wearing. Definitely a very expensive garment.

Clothing can be super expensive and low quality or not well made, sadly.

I've seen enough pics of you on PF over the years to know that you could definitely pull of the RTW, Rami. You would carry the look beautifully!

How sweet, thank you so much

I AGREE!!! It's a nice bag, but no longer into this type of metallic.

My unpopular opinion is that the 20A reissue mini in rainbow/unicorn/iridescent whatever you call it is not pretty. It looks like foil sheet to me.
I also do not like the trendy CC especially the metal plate that says “chanel” on top. I think the design looks old too.
Just IMO

It’s not the bag that causes the color transfer, it’s the clothes. Low quality fabric is what causes the transfer. I don’t think the luxury houses can do anything about that.

Totally agree with you that it’s the clothes and not the bags. I still think there should be some technology to prevent color transfer or really quick wear on bags. For example, my light taupe Celine belt bag shows 0 signs of wear or color transfer after I’ve worn it a ton and have also worn it with dark/new denim. Not saying this house and bag don’t have other issues, I’m just saying I think it’s possible to alter the material/design of a bag to limit wear or color transfer while maintaining a luxurious feel, especially if I’m paying $7k for a bag. I just don’t think Chanel has any intention of addressing it.

I do agree that it’s the clothes that cause the colour transfer. Sometimes dry cleaning can be very toxic and make the problem worse with dark coats and that sort of thing. None of my Cashmere coats have ever caused transfer.

i agree it looks like a bag from claire's or accessorize children's section.

I love the reissue (not an unpopular opinion I think), but can't stand the distressed leather. It looks much, much more worn than vintage lambskin Chanel classic flap from the 80s-90s. It would otherwise be the perfect Chanel bag in my opinion.

The reissues I have, chevron style from 2016 and 2018 seasons, are not as distressed, look beautiful and not "worn out". They still have a vintage and some level of distressed look, but it's not as intense as some other reissue styles. Also love the reissue! I think you just have to find the right collection and piece for you.

Oh, that really makes me hopeful! The reissue just made it to my wishlist... Hoping that I can either find one like yours pre-loved or that Chanel will make them in a less distressed leather again.

No worries. We all mis-speak at times. Be well!

I understand you completely sometimes people love to see others flaws and they don’t see their own. Nobody’s perfect, sometimes we all make mistakes and people nowadays easily voice out their opinions even if they don’t know what really happened. I just got bullied myself. Take care!!!

I'm a big fan of the 19 bag, and own it in black myself. I just can't get excited about all of the "candy" pastel colors....I feel they cheapen the look of the bag. Black, white, and beige would be my only choices with this bag. However, I love pastels on Classic flaps and on other styles....doesn't make sense, but it's where I'm at.

Chanel flap bags are not meant to be worn crossbody. The strap isn't "too short" and the strap doesn't need to be longer. It's a shoulder bag, not a crossbody bag.

Amen

You are so right.
