What should I buy?

[CPA]

Came home with this, should I keep? I like it but some my friends do not like the chain around the bag. But I think it’s unique. Let me know your thoughts.

There is definitely something about Chanel

I do find that the items I get the most out of in terms of cost per wear are jewlery items, they are also very portable and take up very little storage space, unlike bags. I heard Cartier prices are going up by 10% in mid March so might as well do it now.

The Loewe Puzzle was only $4250AUD last year and it's now $4750! I tried it on last year, I liked it but not as much as I did when I tried it on this week, it might've something to do with my outfit. If I do get it, it'll replace my current work bag - a Marc by Marc Jacobs Hillier bag (I still can't believe they discontinued the M by M Jacobs line!), and it'll make the perfect travel bag when I go to Thailand and Singapore next month.

I'm really scared of buying pre-loved especially a bag in the price range of Chanel. I mean, it's a hard pill to swallow paying $15k (AUD) for a bag but it would be just heart breaking to pay pay $9k and find out later that it's a fake This is one reason I never buy pre-loved, I'd rather pay more for peace of mind.

Having said that, I've spotted a pre-loved baby blue rectangular mini and I'm tempted......

I can’t even think of a pre-loved bag, Hermes or Chanel, that I haven’t paid significantly more for than if I had been able to purchase retail.

The point i was trying to make is, when you purchase from a reseller, regardless of the price, there is no guarantee that it's authentic until you get it authenticated.
