What are some of your unpopular Chanel opinions?

[YummyLuxe]

-Gabrielle bag looks ugly
-Chains of all flap bags are so heavy it’s annoying how the bags topple over when you’re trying to put them away and restuffing with tissue paper
-For the ever increasing price I wish they still used real gold
-I love the look of the coco handle but the stitching of the handle digs into your arm and when you open the bag with it on it jabs you in the side

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.

The NM in Bellevue also has a small Chanel boutique.

I really wish Chanel would just combine the downtown Seattle Nordstrom and Bellevue NM mini boutiques into one, standalone, and bigger boutique somewhere in Seattle.

I thought the NM in Bellevue closed...pretty sure I saw it on list of NM closings in an article

Ah, you're right!

I was just in there last December (live hundreds of miles away).

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.

Agree. Even though I’m guilty of wearing it crossbody myself!

Another unpopular opinion is that I think Chanel 19 will go out of style once YSL puffer bags, BV clutch with chunky chain, and BV cassette with overinflated woven leather and massive chain strap are no longer popular. I am glad to be wrong as I like Chanel 19.

I am not a fan of Chanel 19, but I believe it started (or restarted) the trend of dangly massive chunky chains and puffy big quilts. Bottega and YSL just followed suit. I do agree that this look on bags will not last and will be over soon. It's so dated!

The mermaid bag is a terrible investment since Chanel will not repair damages after 5 years.

The Bottega clutch came out before 19. I would say Chanel copied Bottega.

Not sure at all but i think YSL did too?

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

This is what I feel about Reissue bag!

Chanel is not worth the money - when they replaced the interior of the BA with fabric instead of leather, they alienated me completely. Cheapened the look A LOT -

Chanel doesn't care about what its customers want - them discontinuing the ever so popular chanel caviar mini speaks to that

 

[britnyspears]

Mini flaps look like something from Primark to me. Sorry!

Those Christmas beauty gift sets every single person and their dog seem to be rushing out to buy are not worth the money or trouble unless you were going to buy those specific products already.

Also, converting the pouch into a crossbody looks cheap and tacky. If VIP bags aren’t “true” Chanel, this is even lower than that.

(The struggle is real and my FOMO runs deep.)

What is going on with converting the pouch?! I just....wouldn't do that.

I see nothing wrong with buying the cosmetic gift set pouches and converting them to a crossbody bag as long as you're not presenting it as a legitimate bag. If you're actually using the items in the set, the pouch is a bonus.
