Just because you think it is is right Does not make others Silly ! Internet is not real world but for people looking for exclusivity i think hermes is more exclusive well Chanel is not - you can still walk in and buy a classic flap if it is availabe .. you cannot deny that people buy classic flaps just to collect ..

Few of my friends have over 10 classic flaps .. it is common in that aspect not based on how many you see on street

This is the unpopular thread. I am not here to argue about my opinion.

I feel like I see it more online than actually in person. So many "influencers" have Chanel bags. It's overwhelming. This whole social media influencer thing is interesting to me (YouTube, Instagram, Pinterest, etc.). People love to follow and rely on these influencers for knowing what's hot. But crazy thing is that millions of other people are also following the same influencers too. People all rush out to get whatever the person they follow says is hot. And before long that whatever becomes "common" in some people's eyes and therefore less exclusive. To me it's a vicious cycle.

I agree! It is a vicious cycle, which is why

She never called you silly. She said “people’s claims are silly.” There’s a difference. No reason to take offense. I’m baffled by how easily some are offended by others expressing their opinions.

I'm not sure if this is the right thread to even post this to but I'm certain this will be an unpopular opinion/post. I've read many threads and comments on this topic and wanted to add my 2 cent's worth to it. Take it with a grain of salt or leave it. No judgment just my thoughts. I can't seem to wrap my head around this notion of moving away from Chanel or selling off CFs because they are too "common". What is this notion of common? Is there some magic formula that makes something common based on the number of items produced/purchased? There are around 7.8 billion people on this planet. I'd be shocked if 1% of the population had a Chanel bag or CF. It's more likely that the car you're driving (unless you're uber wealthy rocking a Rolls-Royce Phantom) or the jeans or shoes you're wearing are more "common" than a Chanel. Do people feel the same way about the vehicles they purchase or their clothes/shoes? That they are too common? Many things are common. I buy what I like and what appeals to me and fits my style and lifestyle. I couldn't care less about who else has it or how many people on this planet have it. I don't have the time nor energy. If I saw 4 people out and about with a Chanel bag I'd think "those 4 have great taste". I'm not thinking "4 of the 4 00 people I came into contact with today have a Chanel bag. It doesn't feel special anymore".

I couldn’t agree more. I have hard fast rule that I never sell my Jumbo flaps. These are classics and always will be.

I totally agree ! The last time I saw someone with a Black CF was over a month ago and I was on vacation, I actually saw more Hermes bags than Chanel during this vacation.lol. I personally don't see a lot of people with Chanel bags in general and I live in a big city. I mostly see LV and Gucci bags (and there is nothing wrong with that).

I am yet to see a CF. I live in a big city too and I saw Birkins, LVs, YSLs, and Gucci in a mall which has some luxury brands. I may have seen a mini Chanel and a back pack but haven't seen a CF yet. Oh I also saw a boy. Maybe it depends on the location? I believe in using what you enjoy to wear. I also enjoy using my LV NF, nothing wrong with that!

Agree I’m actually seeing a lot more ysl these days. Also live in a big city and in our luxury mall there are definitely days I’ll see more Hermès than Chanel.

There's a neighbourhood mall that I go at least once a week. I take that as reference and I'd say I see more Hermes than Chanel (and I have sharp eye on bags :p ).

Kelly, Birkin, Picotin, Evie. Typically these. And they are generally being worn very casually. I think it comes a point where you can wear any bag any where any occasion.
