What are some of your unpopular Chanel opinions?

[ashin121]

1) Chanel RTW is for the Vips, not for povos like us who take months to save for a Chanel bag.

2) After building a sizeable collection of Chanel bags (I have 8+), I think I rather spend my next US$3500 on the stock market than save up for a new Chanel bag of a different colour/size.

i did that in October 20 when the prices were low, and the share I picked has gone up 20%. Another Chanel bag won’t give me the same amount of happiness

My husband said the same thing about investing in stock vs a chanel bag!

- I believe Chanel is way over-priced just like any other well known brand.
- I find most classic chanel bags like the flap to be boring.
- The graffiti collection is hideous.
- Leather interior is a bad way to go.
- Re-dying your bag could be one of the worse decisions you can make.
- Vintage over New School on pretty much most bags.
-The iridescent collection can be an annoyance over time.
- Chanel has been lacking creativity these past few years in most of the handbags.
-The Chanel 19 CC...no.

These are just my personal opinions

1. Carrying a Chanel bag does not necessarily elevate one‘s look. You have to have a sense of style to begin with.
2. I prefer the look of the smaller Chanel bags on most people. The large ccs look tacky on a lot of people (though I’ve seen a few who can pull it off).

I'm not sure if this is considered unpopular but by the amount of unboxings and etc that I see, it very well may be....

I don't think that the new prices of the classic flaps are worth it. As much as I love a classic, the bag itself, and the house...the prices are just outrageous and quite unfortunate for those that truly love the brand.

I think quite a few would agree with you here!

I feel gold hardware is much nicer than the silver hardware

What is a povo?

What is a povo?

Haha oops that’s Australian slang. Povo is the short form of poverty. Just a slang word to describe that I’m poor and can’t afford RTW unlike the Chanel VIPs. Take months to save up for a new bag.

Chanel (including those who resell Chanel) have such aggressively annoying selling techniques.

I am new to Chanel having always been an LV girl and TOTALLY agree with this! I’m astounded at how sellers (particularly resellers) act like I should be grateful for giving them my money. I will never pay over RRP for anything when then are alternative options. I didn’t realise how hard this ’buying Chanel’ game was. At least it might mean I don’t spend so much lol.

My unpopular thoughts.

1. The recent quality issues with Chanel (likely due to mass production) has me doubting the brand’s luxury status.

2. Due to #1, I do not want Chanel to engage in e-commerce. It would only worsen this issue.

3. I hate aged/brushed GHW. I like the 19A mini reissue in shiny GHW.

I am waiting for the next shiny mini reissue...

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.

This right here

The pink bag with yellow inside or the yellow bag with pink inside, it's quirky but I'm on the fence between it being cute or cheap looking.

Jumbo flaps are tacky and ugly (the size is unflattering on all body types).
C19 bag is really terrible design, looks cheap.

 

[jennwang]

-The small cf looks the best. The medium is overrated, and the other bigger sizes are horrendous.
-I actually like wearing the cf crossbody even if people find it awkward/weird
-I like the small Gabrielle bag
-Vintage cf reminds me of a deflated air bubble wrap
-Chanel 19 is so ugly; the bigger it is, the uglier. The same goes for the boy bag and CoCo handle.
-Don't get why people get the same bag in different colors, im talking about 5-6 different colors
-Some Chanel jewellery look tacky and cheap.

I took a hiatus for 5 years for Chanel (read: kids). Bags were never hard to come by before. You go in, you buy bags. Of course that was before IG and personal shoppers and all that stuff. In 2005, a medium flap was $1500. And I thought so much money! I am also kind of turned off by the recent shopping experience. But I do wonder if the low inventory is just an effect of covid- related supply chain issues.
