hee hee I dont either. I mean it's not ugly but I cannot understand the hype around that colour at all that is causing such premium pricing. I also don't like the 18s emerald green colour that people are paying premium for.

I don't understand the constant 'chanel's quality going down - time to stop buying?' questions/rants/monologues. If you don't like the quality, don't buy it. If you find a brand you like better with better quality, go ahead and buy that brand. Why the constant slogging? It makes people new to the brand utterly insecure and unable to enjoy the process. 90% of the pictures here asking if their bag is defective don't show anything - most are 'exactly as they should be'. Stop robbing people of their enjoyment of their bags.

I had a defective chanel bag - legitimately defective. Chanel made it right. I have my own OCD issues where certain things, like uneven flaps, bother me. I don't buy that bag. It does not make it a defective bag though. If you are so paranoid that you need to go over every single stich with a magnifying glass, Chanel is probably not the brand for you. And that is OK! Move on and stop whining about nothing. Find your bliss elsewhere.

There, it's unpopular, I know.

I completely agree I’ve been buying Chanel for almost 20 years and understand if you’re spending a large amount of money you want a perfect piece but to be honest with you most pieces I’ve seen are perfect and they are not defective whatsoever I do think sometimes people get paranoid with every single little stitch or crooked flap but in my personal experience the quality is fine and we shouldn’t be looking for Issues when there are none

I completely agree. I've been buying chanel for 10 years now but on the purseforum for chanel much longer (while i was a student and couldn't afford it but loved reading about it ).

I honestly don't think the quality has gone down. Most of the posts saying it's gone down are from people who are purchasing their first chanel bag. I have a collection now dating back to 2010 to more current pieces from 2021. I agree there was a dip in quality in 2013-2017 (e.g., the iridescent suede like caviar that color transfered and wore like nubuck , peeling caviar, flat dented caviar) but since then, the quality had been much better. I don't see any of those issues being consistent. I think the quality has improved.
I agree with you. If you're complaining about the quality, move onto a different brand. However, even in the other forums, there's a quality thread of people complaining about declined quality there too.

I think maybe I'm the minority here, but I love the look of C19s in the caramel and light beige for a casual look with jeans. Buuut I don't think I'd ever pay that much for a slouchy purse to be casual. Strangely caramel/brown is the only color I don't like it for CFs. I haven't pull the trigger on the C19s because I have mixed feelings about the sides bulging out.
