What are some of your unpopular Chanel opinions?

[Jereni]

I'm really tired of the black and ghw. I get that it goes with everything, but not everyone needs a black chanel.

Sigh, agreed. I did just get a north-south boy bag with gold hw. But that is likely to be my only black Chanel bag.

Every time I see a post with someone’s new CF in black with gold hw I just want to bang my head against the wall. Chanel makes such a huge variety of bags every year and I’d love to see more posts of the misc, seasonal designs (and not just CFs in seasonal colors).

When I first saw the North South bag, my first thought was “Why?!”

I find the metallic/iridescent Chanel bags beautiful, but a bit tacky. Probably quite an unpopular opinion given that those are considered unicorn bags for many!

The 21P caramel brown also reminds me of poo...but I will admit that I’ve thought about buying it with all the hype around the colour

It looks like a Nintendo Gameboy Color Case to me.

Better a Gameboy console than the coloring pencils I was imagining these bags to come with!

I can only see poo too! I don’t get it at all.

Most especially if they do a version in this colorway!

Not a fan of boy bags, was never drawn to them from the very beginning when they were first released. Too bulky & boxy & structured for my taste.

Also agree w above, don’t like the North South/vertical wocs. The proportion of the woc just isn’t aesthetically pleasing to my eyes, too long & thin.

And lastly, don’t like Gabby bags at all.

I totally forgot to add...
I hate the dad sandals so much.
I broke my foot many years ago & the Velcro medical“shoe” they gave me to wear looks pretty darn Similar to the dad sandals.

Ok here goes mine:
1. The chanel 19 looks cheap and I don't think it will be a proper classic in time. It is saggy and for the price at least have a leather interior.
2. Dior makes better quality bags and feel more luxurious; the boutique experience also being much better than chanel boutiques.
3. I lost interest in cc classic flaps. I used to think that a classic flap is something that can be handed down the generations but in my opinion, the market is saturated and we may be the last generation to really appreciate these flaps.
4. The prices of the bags don't match the quality. The mini flaps always look wonky on the side.
5. Agree that resellers are taking over.

This is my totally favorite thread. I absolutely hate the beige Claire Chanel flap. It reminds me of a Manila folder. Just so wrong. I adore the Camel color top handle currently out now but the prices increases have me not wanting to spend.

yup yup, im a believer.

This is the Chanel Manila Folder in Silver Hardware:

You can find it at your nearest Staples Boutique. This is a seasonal bag so it will be going fast and you will find counterfeits online or resellers selling it for over $9000.

That’s exactly how it looks.

I just hate their customer service and arrogance of not fixing old bags. On top of that, the snobbish sales associates think they own Chanel as a company just because they work there.

I've found Hermes stores friendlier than Chanel.
