What are some of your unpopular Chanel opinions?

[GeorgiaGirl67]

I don't like the flap bags or the big CC logo.

My pet peeve has been.. if you are spending a sizeable amount of money buying pre-loved chanel from FB groups or from resellers.. just pay for the authentication service. I never understand why potential buyers would post on FB groups n ask random strangers who most likely can’t perform authentication services on Chanel and ask for people opinion if it’s authentic chanel bag or not ‍♀️

No Chanel 19.
Don't think it has longevity (in style); similar to Leboy and Gabrielle hobo.
Just my personal view.

I am so loving reading this post!
- I would never buy chanel costume jewelry. Everyone I know who Owns it complains about the crystals/pearls falling out. No thank you.
- I would only only ever buy vintage Chanel classics where they use actual gold plating on the logo. Prefer the 2.55 to the classic flap. Love a good whimsical tweed classic flap!
- I just can’t with the Chanel price increases. They are moving up toward Hermes prices without the H quality and dedication to the history and craft. In general, it feels like so much luxury fashion today is just very expensive fast fashion - created to have a moment in the limelight. There is less commitment to the art, history, craft and design, in my humble opinion.
- agree about the Chanel 19. I like it but I don’t think it’s a classic and I think it will look dated very soon.

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

Omg. Thank you so much for bringing this up. This is literally my first thought every time I watch a "what's in my bag" (WIMB) video on youtube and no one bothers to fit in the actual essentials (e.g. wallet, KEYS, lip balm, tissues, etc)... Maybe it's because a lot of the WIMB videos I've been watching are more than a year old, but what I really want to know is if it fits my essentials plus a mini sized purell hand sanitizer...

LOL, I almost choked on my glass of wine when I read this. Amazing

I don't think Karl lagerfeld actually designed the Chanel 19 like pieole say. He may have approved it for production lol

Love when people are jamming a small umbrella in there too.

It's not a mini camera bag when you gut out a classic case bag toss a chain on and add a pocket on the back. And then to insult the buying public you triple the price. But the measurements are the exact same size. Chanel if you're going to recycle some products please be a little more creative.

I don’t like the top handle classic mini. I think it looks odd and like it doesn’t belong on the bag. Also I don’t like the card holders, cosmetic pouches with chains, the price on these are horrendous!

 

[fadeout]

Oh this is fun...

4. Rectangular minis - the sides always look like they extend out from the flap by a small bit and it bothers me

This is why I got rid of my minis. My ocd couldn’t stand the sides sticking out past the flap

The only Chanel bags I like are flap bags. Maybe I would consider Boy but that's it.

Am I the only one who thinks that the metallic and iridescent lines are not pretty? I could not ever purchase one as it would not go with anything in my wardrobe. Honestly, I don’t think I’d ever use it and it would be a waste of money to just have in its dust bag. I dont know why people go ga-ga over these bags…
