1. I really dislike 99% of Chanel’s RTW and the 1% that I do like, I wouldn’t pay that price. I also find that if I do buy it, how am I going to care for it? I am not the best person when it comes to taking care of my clothes :noworry:
2. I am not crazy about the CF or the Boy or anything that is too rigid. I don’t like rigid bags because they are hard to work with and don’t give a lot of room to budge. I like my items to be easily accessible and find the flap to be annoying.
3. I don’t like the Gabrielle because there are way too many chains on it. I tried it out and my SA was trying to help me configure the chains...but it was all over the place and too much work:doh:
4. What is so great about tweed bags?!?! They look like cotton bags to me lol and if I had to pay a premium price, I would rather go with leather :biggrin:
5. and finally...Chanel sneakers are just...terrible lol. Give me my Pumas!

I so agree with your 3rd statement. I also tried on the Gabrielle once and felt like I was fighting with the bag to wear it. Decided in the first 15 seconds that it was not for me. I don't like anything, accessories or clothes, that isn't easy to get on and off.
 
- I don’t understand Chanel prices compared to their quality nowadays (and the fact that people still buy them)! I’d pick any vintage Chanel from the 90s over their current offering!

- Not feeling the Chanel 19 bag at all, looks quite cheap to me especially the interior!

- Hate the double flap as it takes up spaces. The M/L would be perfect for me if it doesn’t have that inner flap.
 
So many steep price increases that I have been buying more Hermes and a few LVs. My jumbo came with several glue spots a slightly off centered CC, my small coco handle had a loose stitich, both brand new from the Chanel Boutique. Sadly, it was a complete turn off about the quality and price increases. I might revisit it someday if they have a release that I just cannot resist, but for now I will not be adding any.
 
- I don't like the Gabrielle and the 19 (and probably never will) because of the hardware mix - I want ONLY silver or ONLY Gold or ONLY ruthenium, but not all in one
- Gabrielle and 19 are totally overhyped and not worth the price (the 19 looks too chunky imo, and I wouldn't know how to wear the Gabrielle the right way)
- Reissue is boring
- I don't fancy the caramel color at all that everybody is going bonkers at the moment
 
1)Chanel classics look cheap and tacky when paired with formal attire and even dressier cocktail dresses. A clutch is much more elegant. Nothing is worse than seeing someone toting a jumbo cf to a wedding
2)Beige Clair is a terrible color and doesn’t go with any outfit despite you-tubers saying it goes with every outfit
I cometely agree with the Jumbo / Medium CF / WOC at formal events. One bag does not suit all needs.
