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.
Clearly it's not "wrong". People can do whatever they want with it, since they paid for it. I just don't understand doing that, myself. To each his or her own. :)
 
I agree! Why are so many people making YouTube videos of this, and why are so many people thinking this is a good idea?

Not that I am against people doing it...I just don’t think it looks good and doesn’t pass as a Chanel bag at all??

There are a lot of YT videos of it. They think it's a good idea for several reasons, mostly because it's cost effective. For some, it's a way to make the unattainable, attainable. Others are rough with their bags. This is something they can trash and not feel guilty they spent thousands of dollars. Some want to gift it to children. I have the moisture must haves set and I'm looking at the pouch right now and I know it's not a Chanel bag, nor would I pass it as one.

All great points. Gifting it to children is a wonderful idea!
 
Why Kristen Stewart...

Maybe a punk rock style needed to represent some Chanel bag like Gabrielle, but still far from elegance and stylish for my taste. BTW just IMO.
Omg! You hit the nail on the head with this. I never got why they chose Kristen Stewart. I always thought they should select someone who’s French or at least has more class/elegance, but maybe they want someone to be more mainstream.. I don’t even think Kristen is THAT popular. At least in the states.
 
I apologize in advance if this offends anyone, here is my unpopular opinion: I would never buy pre-loved. I love the feel of a pristine bag, shoe or RTW item that has not been worn by someone before me. Goodness, I even have trouble lending items to my daughters, can’t bear the though of strangers having worn it before me.
 
The chase, the hunt of a popular item, texting multiple Sa to locate that popular item to find out oh by the way this boutique is fulfilling orders off a list from over a year. Not knowing where your at on a list, different rules between department stores and boutiques to fulfill your order not a guarantee even if you prepay. At this point for me once I went through all of this and obtained the holy grail popular item the thrill is gone or maybe I have lost interest. Like most people have expressed in various threads this whole process seems like an unpaid job for Chanel.
 
I agree the jewelry prices are ridiculously high. For that matter, so is the RTW (uber ridiculous, IMO). I like the Boy Bag style, but the small size is completely impractical for real life. I have a black double flap that I bought in 1991 or so, and it is my favorite of all the Chanel bags I've had since.
