Chanel tweed bags are totally underrated
I know! Buying Chanel for reselling is another bad idea. Forgot about profit, only a very few bags even get you the money back.
- I feel like a lot of Chanel bag designs are lazy, just the same rehashing of the quilted leather/CC lock/flap/chain strap combo, and sometimes it looks out of place on some bags as if they just stuck it on there so people will recognize it's supposed to be from the brand.
- I don't like anything with "CHANEL" spelt out on it, that's just too obvious that it loses any elegance. I rather Chanel not be a Gucci or a Balenciaga when they're trying to be another Hermes.
- The polyester/acrylic in that red CC pullover was disappointing. For $5k+? No way. Max Mara makes full wool teddy coats, you can make a sweater.
- The best Chanel 19 is a tweed Chanel 19
- Classic flap prices no longer make any sense, but I would still buy it brand new from the boutique. There's something about the whole experience of picking it out in a boutique then unwrapping a brand spanking new classic flap at home. I don't care if I'm a big fool for it!
Just my opinion but I think way too many people buy these bags to show the world they’re fancy and rich cause they can afford Chanel while they’re probably up to their elbows in debt.
I also don’t understand the people who come on these boards, mainly Chanel board more than anything, to be asking strangers what bag they should get and if they should get gold or silver hardware, what color, etc. Get the one you like & that’s it. I don’t even ask my husband what he thinks, even if he’s buying it for me.

Sure. I'm just not personally one to buy a bag and then start looking for what's wrong with it. I'm sure almost every bag has a tiny flaw somewhere.
Same here. I just don’t have the time to be checking minor things that others can’t even see.
The brass plate is exactly what is making me drag my heels over the Trendy.
I don't mind logos, but can't stand big ones -- on any brand. For that reason alone, the Deauville looks tacky to me. It's an otherwise beautiful and super useful bag, the logo just ruins it.
Ha, I like it but it’s a beach bag, so when I see people or say very popular bloggers who live in cold climates wearing their Chanel beach bag to dinner it drives me nuts!
Lambskin is more durable than caviar.
Jumbo is the worst possible size for the classic flap.
A quintessential Chanel bag is made of tweed. Or denim.
Carrying a Chanel classic flap doesn’t elevate a cheap or bad outfit.
I’d add, the Boy is awkward and clunky, but that seems to be a popular opinion.

Okay your first point goes against everything I have read about the different types of leather. Please elaborate.
I hate that they don't sell online in Canada. I'm 1.5-2 hours from a boutique and it's so inconvenient for me to go there. I'd buy more if I could get it online. Especially now that the stores are closed!
