The sandals that every influencer seems to be obsessed with are just a huge NO NO NO for me. I really don't get the hype. They do look like recovery shoes.
Yeah, not Chanel specific, I don’t get this idea that you should go for small bags just because you are petite. You need a bag for the amount of stuff you like carrying about and at different times you might prefer a small or a big bag.
They are so behind the trend as well. Bal brought out the ugly dad sneaker nearly 5 years ago now.
1. I think that Chanel should embrace their mature aesthetic and stop trying to make insta- trendy meme things happen like the dad sandals. There’s just too much competition from the likes of off white and bal and they are always way behind the zeitgeist.
Theres no shame in being ‘classic,’ IMHO, I don’t see Hermes worrying about not being ‘on trend’ and that seems to be who they want to compare to price-wise anyway.
2. They could stand to increase their colour palette on the bags.
3. They could also afford to use cultured pearls over fakes. Decent small pearls aren’t even expensive!
4. The 19 is far too busy.
5. Making Chanel no 22 an exclusif after it was in department stores for years is shameless.
6. they show no respect at all for their classic fragrances and they are so difficult to find in department stores! I’ve been to so many Chanel counters that don’t have 19- it’s crazy!
7. While I’m being mean to their exclusifs range... misia has no right being there either. It’s a very obvious riff on ‘lipstick rose’. While I have no problem with their take on a big trend being in the main line (I love coco one of a glut of 80s big orientals) it in no way represents the creative originality of the house and shouldn’t be there.
8. Why has Chanel gone off orris? It’s their signature scent note. Iris notes are the reason I fell for Chanel in the first place.

Not agreeing or disagreeing. I think they continue to use fake pearls because of Coco legacy of costume jewelry, they quote her saying something about it should not be about the carats but the illusion. It's like how one of their head seamstresses said the chain inside the jacket isn't necessary anymore because there is better technology these days, but continue to do it because it's the legacy. I also kind of think pricing fake pearls at that price point allows them to charge even more extortionately when they do use real pearls.
Allegedly they're making bank from trying to appeal to a younger clientele.
I love the lucky charm bags as well they’re adorable....most of the time.

The lucky charms bags are very expensive. I have a 2007 lucky charm bag that was around 5k. I think they are around 8k right now. I think Chanel embellished bags are more expensive.

Chanel should offer Special Orders! If they want to be on Hermes Level, than they should also offer the Hermes Service. However i would be afraid of the downside: I don't want the "You can't sit with us - Attitude".
Ok mine is a long list and please note that these are my opinions only. Nothing against people who like the bags or the trends.
1. Unlike many of you, I actually like the classic bags. Not many of my relatives and friends own this bag so I think it is exclusive for me at least.
2. Chanel Costume jewelry is very cheap, tacky looking. I cant believe people are actually willing to spend almost 2K for a necklace when you can get fine jewelry in real gold, pearls, etc from a local fine jewelry store.
3. The 19 is too over hyped mostly because of social media. Chanel wanted to do a huge publicity and they were quite successful. I also noticed SAs pushing the 19 on me when I was looking into buying my first Chanel bag. I am so glad I didn't cave in. I still do think it is very pretty and the chain is very interesting but it keeps falling off my shoulder which is very annoying.
4. I also don’t like the trendy, coco handle, the boy bag, Gabrielle, totes. I don’t like the look and I am not into them at all.
5. Mini bags are waste to me except for evening wear and I cannot justify spending almost 4K on a mini bag which can barely hold my essentials. I do think they are super cute and can be a good first Chanel bag but if someone wants to eventually own a CF then they should rather save their money for CF.
6. The new sweet flap bags are weird and crooked looking bags.
7. Absolutely no to using those glasses case as a bag!
8. I think some seasonal bags are the most under rated bags. Some of them are very beautiful and a fun spin off from the classic bags and I am surprised a lot of people don’t like them because they don’t have good return value. This brings me to the next point.
9. I don’t think Chanel bags are investments pieces which I know most of you agree. They are meant to be enjoyed, used, and passed down. They are not meant to be flipped after buying in just a few days. It is different when you sell it later down the line after using it for whatever reason but to sell a brand new bag within its return policy for an exorbitant amount is just offensive to me. This is my personal opinion. I am sure many will disagree. I do have huge respect for people who will gladly give their SA's numbers after they return the bag.
10. My sister and I were horrified and also laughed when we saw the dad sandals. We just couldn't believe Chanel even made them these!

My unpopular opinion is that I loved the Dad sandals when they launched in the Chanel tweed BUT now they just look hideous.
I recently tried the Silver ones on to see how they looked and they were UGH! the shade of silver, the leather, it all looked so wrong and just ugly.

Every point you made in your post.......100% agree! I couldn't have said it better myself.
200% agree with your points ! cannot agree more on costume jewellery !
For a bag that is touted as timeless and long lasting, I have sure see a lot of deflated and sad looking black and beige classic flaps on the resale websites.
there goes another unpopular opinion of mine:
Some of those vintage bags are yikes.

I agree! And they are charged an upward of $4K ...like seriously
