Bags are way overpriced, if they were handmade it would be a different story.

time to add another one 
I find the way some people keep buying new bags by calling them "unicorns" is just a tad absurd... sorry.
My local boutique seems to always have these so called "unicorns" cause nobody where I live seems to want them

Yeah... I can see why people like the 19 right now, but honestly in less than 3 years I think it will look so outdated and the people who bought it will be wondering what they were thinking.
The chanel 19 has always looked like a new and improved version of the Chanel Bubble Quilt bag from 2007-2009. It was quite popular back then. They even had a thread for it. This as you mentioned above, is what happened a few years later. However, who knows, it was Karl's last final design so it may stay. It is growing on me and i think it's pretty now but I don't think I'd ever get it because it reminds me of the bubble bag and the sagging would bother me.

not chanel specific but i hate it when people do "what fits" videos/stories/igtvs on bags and only show weird items. i don't need to carry an egg-shaped chanel hand cream and ten lipglosses with me, i need keys and cards and money! show me if it fits a key holder, show me how you fit cards and cash, show me if you can fit a small pack of tissues. if you get a runny nose, you are for sure not using one of the six lipsticks you have with you to blow it! you need keys to get back into your house, hand cream is not going to open that door for you! we are not living in an ally mcbeal world (women in ally mcbeal never had bags with them when they were out and about, the whole woman-child narrative that grates on my feminist nerves), we need practicality people!!! - end rant sorry
All this plus I don’t get stacking stuff on top of stuff. How much of that has to be removed to get to their cash, cards, keys and numerous lipsticks.
1. Top handle on the bags - just fugly
2. Only resellers gets the bags. no minis anywhere.
3. Chanel 19 - just no no no no. looks so cheap.
4. Chanel Classic double flap - overrated. 10 years down the road, bag is out of shape, tired and boring.
5. Quality - hardware flaks after less than 3 times usage.
With the annoying price increases and resellers getting all the bags, time to bid goodbye to Chanel and go for other brands.

I don’t get the people going crazy over the caramel colours at the moment. I found it hilarious that some refer to it as the poo poo colour! Also the different variations of light shades of pink, which all look the same? Or irridescents, the lambskin will not hold up, quality is shocking for 21s. I wish they still did irridescent caviar in the minis. 2018 was a golden year for those.
Seriously!!! It's so cumbersome to rummage through you bag when you have stuff on top of stuff!
Machine made
Never stitched by hand.
I love this thread lol.
- I think the bags being machine made is kind of a trade-off. The demand for the bags (especially classic flaps) is so high, and they do this to keep up. In a way I‘m glad that I don‘t have to go on a month long waiting list to get a classic (Europe), with the price increases it would only increase the stress of purchasing a bag even more.
- I don‘t think that the quality per se has necessarily gotten worse, i think the issue lies in the quality control, which is up to the customer at this point lol. I think that when I pick a bag that has no qc issues, it tends to hold up pretty well.
Also, with the crazy prices, we have gotten more picky (and rightfully so), but I think i.e. a crease in a new lambskin bag wouldn‘t have been such a big issue a couple of years ago, since it‘s not a production fault per se, it‘s just the leather.
- Chanel is trolling customers at this point i.e. limited seasonal „hot“ items, resellers, refusing to release caviar minis, the price increases, actions like dcing the GST because it‘s too cheap for the amount of bag you get etc. Like why do all this?

I don’t like the large Coco handle bags, they look like a briefcase. The 19 bag already looks dated to me. I hate the large quilts, the lack of structure, the way the sides stick out, how the bottom sags, the chain handle and the mix of metal colors. Several on FP show they don’t hold up very well. I also hate those large gold plates they put on some bags. That’s all I see when I look at them. A piece of metal that large will scratch and pit easily.
