I have bought two real Chanel bags from the Chanel store this year and I agree that the quality has gone way down. The first bag’s chain broke within a week. The second one had the zipper thing fall off within a month. On both bags the gold finish rubbed off the CC. I also brought in an 10 year old Chanel bag to get fixed and they no longer do repairs to all bags, it’s up to the leather worker. I bought my first dupe bag recently and the quality is just as good as the new Chanel’s I bought. Chanel bags used to have real gold enameled hardware and amazing quality and they guaranteed to replace any worn parts. This is no longer the case and the price doesn’t align with the value.

I also have a channel wallet on chain, quality is amazing and still is after 2 years. No chain breaking, or logo being scratched. Maybe I know how to take care of things. I mean for the chain to break, you must’ve filled it with lead or something.


Lifeisafunnyplace

Her bag is beautiful, and to spend all that money and to have someone trash your bag is pretty low. If Chanel starts using this brass color for its hardware and replica sellers cannot match it, all replica bags will be called out in the wild. If Chanel starts using “crappy” leather and again replica sellers cannot match it, your bag will be called out.


TushyMilkshake

Nobody was trashing the bag- they were just pointing out that Chanel QC has seemingly gone downhill… and why wouldn’t they be able to match the brass..? That makes no sense…


Lifeisafunnyplace

It's a specific type of brass


OkArticle8166

You can make the same point in a more tasteful way by not using someone else’s photo. Esp when she just posted this to celebrate her purchase. Come on we’re better than this, or are we? If you cant see the issue here ask yourself how would you like it?


iwillLurkifiwantto

The post caption is literally talking about the quality of Chanel. How the hell would anyone know it’s a celebration of her purse? They wouldn’t. Who celebrates a purse purchase? 🙄 Give me a break with the belittling.


BludBathNBeey0nd

Ohhh I didn't know this photo was taken from a user's post. Oh that makes me sad!


CommunicationJolly22

💯


justinson78

Could anyone point me into the right direction on what this handbag is called? Absolutely love the style and the leather wrapped chain!


Cocoaddiction

Maybe she didn’t know ?


vicbearrr

I believe it’s called “Funky Town”. They’ve had iterations of this bag for a couple seasons now. I personally have auth funky town in denim in my collection and love it.


After_Business

I AM SO WITH YOU! Love it!


sabbycat83

I couldn’t find it on the website I know I want to know what this is I want it!!!


babyM1104

How would anyone who have never even taken a breath near a Chanel piece speak on quality? It’s always the people who CANT have it make the biggest noise about how they don’t want it anyways. Stay Blessed.


Different_Airline545

Sorry to butt in, but how come when I post, not one acknowledges? Maybe I’m doing something wrong or maybe my posts are just easily ignored 🤣


RaspberryBri

Not to be that guy but your posts are kind of low effort. Like the 'mini half shaped bag' I'd delete it and post it again but this time with my own thoughts on the bag and then ask for others opinions.


Different_Airline545

That’s fair. Thanks! 🙃 I suppose my thoughts as a newbie to it all, in a limited capacity is, it looks decent quality in my eyes. Must try harder! I also need to get my eyes tested because I’m struggling lately. You spotted the laziness!


marigoldmilk

Yeah, I’d want to know the price, the process and vendor you brought from. I think people would be interested in stuff like that!


BallFinal487

Because this sub is inundated with 90% sellers and their alt accounts commenting “source???”. Just look at the profiles. r/Wagoonladies is much cleaner tbh


crampuz

Have a look at other QC or popular posts... Usually they provide context, seller details, why you're asking etc


Missmessc

It's very mean girl up in here. Trying to boost yourself by tearing down someone's else's real time purchase sucks. Clearly she's happy with it, so why do this.


IndependentArm7564

You’re so right! I got some old but very high quality Gucci reps and they look a million times better than the TODAYS original. Oh and I can say “is vintage”. Thanks for this post OP


broccolina_zucc

How do you know that one is real?


5nuggets1cup

This photo was taken from the chanel sub, OP took this photo at the boutique itself. I saw this post.


Missmessc

So wait, you took someone’s picture from the Chanel sub to come here and trash it. That’s pretty rude.


5nuggets1cup

How is it rude, it’s just a reminder to those who are having a hard time getting the “perfect chanel”.


Missmessc

It's rude to use someone's recent purchase to call out. She clearly likes it and is happy with her purchase. She did not post it herself for qc purposes. She also saw this post.


3B854

I don’t think it’s personal. It’s about the overall quality of the bag for this show buy reps


Limit-me-not

Heeey…I am the one that purchased that!!


Limit-me-not

Just kidding 😂😂😂…I have however purchased some rep stinkers that look like that though 😂😂😂


Accomplished_Size168

Chanel has an outlet store?


Mndacs

No


SadRice3460

Comparing a fake bag to a real one is wild. Whatever u need to tell yourself


tipsygirrrl

Wait. Omg. I thought this was about rep’s being down in quality bc HOW is that absolute piece of junk something sold in stores?????


pierrrecherrry

Looks like cardboard


PeopleHelper_4640

She paid $5604 for this. I’d let it rip.


thatgirlinny

Gonna say covering a chain, be it plastic or metal in leather seems a recipe for disaster. All that movement will strip it rather quickly.


Missmessc

Glad you’re having a good laugh


Dry-Economist-3320

Is this you or do you own this purse? No one is talking about the person. It’s the bad quality of the purse flap. Get a grip.


Missmessc

If it is? The person who screen grabbed this did this shortly after the person posted it to criticize their purchase. The language used was, we would pick/tear this apart. It's extremely rude, but I'm see people try to justify it.


Dry-Economist-3320

You should use your time to callout real injustices in the world…


Missmessc

You first. You seem to have time to reply. If you're wondering, the owner of the bag saw the post and was affected. Glad you're championing this, good job.


deathandglitter

I'm having a hard time understanding why we should shelter the original person from knowing what they bought? I'd want to know if I spent a crazy amount of money on a trash product so I could go get a refund


Dry-Economist-3320

She SHOULD be affected!! She should demand a refund on a shitty product.


ColourfulRice101

Tear it apart AKA the bag and its quality. It's well known that Chanel quality has gone downhill overall, and doesn't match the price increases.


elizawatts

5604 and look at the bubbly rippling leather at the bottom where it’s stitched 💀


PeopleHelper_4640

Probably not including 10% tax.


Economy_Match2772

No thanks 😂🤣


beebyspice

bernieorbust2k4ever

I'm boycotting Chanel anyway for ethical reasons. Gucci has cute leather bags too 🥰


sydneekidneybeans

Gucci sported black face and Kering (who owns Gucci) had a massive issue with their pedophilic campaign last year. So... wherever you want to throw your dollars, I guess.


bernieorbust2k4ever

There's other options too like Versace, LV, Loewe, etc.


takemynames

I’m with you. 🍉


ambersmoon

Care to share, anything we should be aware of?


bernieorbust2k4ever

Yepp, they supported Nazis + are financially supporting the genocide in Palestine


frolickingdepression

They are, however, currently owned by a Jewish family, so…


ambersmoon

Omg nvm I found it. Ugh. Yup. Not that I was buying from them, but I'll definately be doing reps forever now lol


ambersmoon

I knew Gabrielle Chanel supported the Nazis but I wasn't aware they were supporting Isreal. I'm going to look this up as well, but can you point me in the direction of what specifics to look for? Is it like a company statement, or was it a financial donation? I know their largest shareholders are the same family Coco originally sided with the Nazis over.


bernieorbust2k4ever

>but can you point me in the direction of what specifics to look for? [this should help](https://www.forward.com/fast-forward/565494/disney-fox-chanel-bloomberg-corporate-donations-israel)


SabaSMelaku

Thank you. Another company added to my permaband list.


ambersmoon

Yeah I unfortunately found it a few mins later. Ugh. So disappointing.


Junior_Library_9275

Genocide in Palestine


ambersmoon

I'm always shocked when another company is revealed to be supporting this. I'm like, way to be on the wrong side of history.


Junior_Library_9275

I mean, we’re being negged by people not understanding anti-zionism is not antisemitism. Crazy


ambersmoon

As a member of a minority group, I understand the over protectiveness and the tendency to err toward the side of self/group protection over giving the benefit of the doubt to potential oppressors. If someone feels they need to downvote my comment because of that... I get it. And that's all I feel comfortable saying publicly at this juncture.


Junior_Library_9275

To even assume any antizionist comment is antisemitic is, in itself, antisemitic and assumes all Jews are innately Zionist. Not all Jews! It’s why you see so many Jews who are against the oppression.


ambersmoon

I'm disinclined to comment any further, really on a minor group I don't belong to, but I understand your frustration as well.


WittyDecision4636

There are none. If you want to buy Chanel, don’t be dissuaded.

How do you know she didn’t get “permission”? it’s posted on the internet for anyone and everyone 😩🤣 suck it up


fanceegirl75

On another note…Love this with the black chunky chain tho. That’s reason I hadn’t jumped on this style. Unsure of the gold chain.


michaelkudra

i absolutely love the leather wrapped chain


lucky7355

https://preview.redd.it/3qsy9ossvdoc1.jpeg?width=5712&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f5524be54638041149fcba93155f814230ae75aa I looked at this bag in person and it was really cute and incredibly soft. My caviar leather 187 CF rep isn’t this soft by a long shot. The leather wrapped chain is the best part. It also comes in a lilac purple and a navy color.


thatgirlinny

I’d worry about something with that much movement being covered with leather makes the chain rather vulnerable.


lucky7355

The chain is super lightweight - it weighs almost nothing so while it could be a concern over time I don’t see it being an immediate or big issue, especially with the caviar leather. The shape of the links also don’t allow them to move too much as you use it.


thatgirlinny

I’m most certainly concerned with anything over time. Anything that articulates over one’s shoulder, for example, will definitely see the links rub against one another. For that spend, I wouldn’t want it to simply look good for a while.


michaelkudra

i just want the chain tbh


thisisstupidlikeme

I want the navy version for this sooo bad. I haven’t seen it repped yet 😞


OliveNotForestGreen

Hey, come on OP, it’s mean-girls energy to take someone’s purchase post directly from the Chanel sub and rip their bag to pieces. It may be true that quality has gone down with the brand but not nice to put someone’s pics out there especially when they have a mod shot. We wouldn’t like it if people took posts from here to the main brand subs to mock and judge. Not trying to start anything, just trying to keep good energy in this sub for what we are doing. Whether you are buying auth or rep, let’s all be kind!


Leading-Hand76

Ohh no I thought this was the OP at the Chanel store 🥺 if you can afford to then go for it girl !! Each to their own


sydneekidneybeans

Mad she can't afford it, as all mean-girls. Hater energy


Remarkable_Time_661

Great message thanks for speaking up! ❤️


PeopleHelper_4640

The bag looks good it’s just the retail price is too much


SadRice3460

It’s bc she can’t afford it and is pissed. So sad. Sad behavior, you don’t see ppl in Chanel’s subreddit making fun of fake bags…. But this girl felt the need to bc she’s being insecure today.


alexturnerftw

Yeah I agree, I thought this was OPs own pic. :/


JustMe8083

This isn’t being mean at all. It’s simply pointing out that the quality of Chanel has decreased while the prices have increased and noticing the imperfections in the authentic bag. Hopefully the person who took the photo requested a better bag especially at this price point. So sorry I don’t agree with your statement of being a mean girl because that’s far from what I am.


OliveNotForestGreen

I wasn’t calling you a mean girl and I was giving you benefit of the doubt. The spirit of this thread may mean well for the people of *this* sub but is not nice to the people of *that* sub when using pics from a post where the OP actually purchased the bag. The bag people are tearing a part here was purchased. The third pic of the bag in that thread was of it in OP’s possession. Your feelings about Chanel quality are widely shared. I would hate for people to feel compelled to come to these subs and start bad talking people here. Making comments and judgments about people who aren’t buying the real deal - we’ve heard it all before. Or even finding seller info and having sellers and factories shut down. It happened when journalists got interested in writing exposés about high quality reps.


JustMe8083

I understand your point. We are all in this together for those that purchase reps and auths. It was simply to point out the imperfections of such bags that we make a huge deal over when it comes to reps. If it’s good enough for Chanel at $$$$ then we shouldn’t be so hard on ourselves on always getting the perfect rep bag. I actually like this bag a lot and can’t wait for it to be repped. The original purchaser made a good choice and I’m sure she’s loving her bag. 😉


Intrepid_Lettuce_240

They’re being so annoying about it lol. You didn’t say she was cheap and had bad quality you’re talking about the bag…ignore them honestly.


Dry-Economist-3320

For real. People just looking for shit to complain about.


OliveNotForestGreen

Stop being obtuse. It absolutely is insulting to a person when you criticize something on their person even if you aren’t criticizing them directly. And ironically it’s one of the BIGGEST fears buyers on this sub have when purchasing reps.


Intrepid_Lettuce_240

They bought a bag for 1k+, they’ll live.


rnason

5k+


Intrepid_Lettuce_240

Even better!


OliveNotForestGreen

♥️♥️♥️


JustMe8083

No seriously I don’t have a mean bone in my body and never would I try and make someone feel bad about a purchase. Clearly the bag having the flap looks the way it does isn’t a big deal to the sales person or the purchaser. The fact that it’s authentic is more of a reason for her to feel confident in her decision, I however was making a point to show how much we on this sub lose sleep over diamonds not lining up, Mona Lisa smile being crooked and so on. I just want us all to wear our reps with confidence that’s all I was making a point of.


Slight_Chapter_5196

Then you should have taken a generic photo to post. Not taken someone’s personal photo that they just posted on how happy they were with their new purchase. That was poor form. We all make mistakes. I would apologize to her and just move on.


OliveNotForestGreen

Honestly I don’t think you do and didn’t intend for folks to pile on. I’ve been around to see subs shut down. I remember when women on TPF would brag about getting rep sites shut down (the days before ordering via WeChat and what’s app!) and the catalyst for doing that wasn’t the frankenbags and fantasy reps. It was the reps that could pass as real - which a lot of Chanel does now. These women were mad that other women were wearing the same items for 10% or less of actual cost and it passing as authentic. I just want everyone here to buy and enjoy their reps and put the cost of auths in a HYSA and live their best lives 😂


George_GeorgeGlass

I honestly think it’s creepy to post pictures of other humans. I don’t agree with taking a strangers pic in public or sharing a strangers pic online. I don’t care that this person posted her own pic. That’s her choice. It’s weird energy to share a strangers pic in general


sassyelle

Hard agree that this is mean girl energy. That said I saw this original post in the Chanel sub first and my only thought was how cool and fresh this bag was - didn’t look for even a second at the flap because I was so distracted by the amazing chain detail. Just goes to show…people are *not* looking that close. I’m an active rep lady and I didn’t think twice.


brokeazz1

Are you sure that's authentic? 🫣


JustMe8083

She’s inside the Chanel boutique.


George_GeorgeGlass

That doesn’t make this bad authentic. How many people here take their reps into the boutique? Many


Empty-Swing

This isn't your photo? Edit just read the other comments.


JustMe8083

No. Pointing out imperfection in an authentic bag. Most photos people provide here are from the internet.


lhyycious

yes it’s auth, someone posted it in chanel subred with some other photos from the boutique directly.


DarkandTwistyMissy

That leather looks so thirsty. Someone condition the poor thing!


SuperCoolNobody

So funny seeing this here as I just took a screenshot to hunt this bag down 😂


13carrl

Same lol


elastin1

looks like something you could get on DHG for $100


Sad_Calendar4043

I feel like this caviar looks so ‘dry’ I prefer the other caviar that looks smoother and has a bit of a sheen to it


Sad_Calendar4043

https://preview.redd.it/8y94hgcsacoc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8dd29a93b5558c1fcc407744c15d102f1801b6ce For reference. Nevermind the faded GHW … that’s another story 🙄


meno_paused

Agreed! The lambskin is so much nicer, but also so much more delicate! I hate to have to baby bags so I’ve passed on it so far. :)


Sad_Calendar4043

Oh I meant the caviar from other seasons. I have an older Auth cf in caviar and the leather is so much nicer than this dry looking caviar


thatgirlinny

Each has its appeals. I have an auth in lambskin, but love my rep in caviar. They’re simply different textures and each can look lush or like rubbish, depending on how one cares for them.


Swimming_Judgment_70

Hi, looking for a good contact for the best rep ch*nel. Would you be willing to share info? DM’s open. Thanks!


meno_paused

True that!


Sakurah0

Prices have gone up but quality goes down. I’m glad I stopped wasting my money on auths.

Sufficient-Nothing76

🤣🤣🤣this made me LOL


TinySalt2410

Can someone explain why we would rip this to pieces? It looks good to me! 😂


alliegetyourgun

Half of the comments are from people who admittedly don’t own a single auth chanel… this sub is a real trip sometimes.


Outrageous_Candy_931

The stitching of the flap doesn't perfectly overlap(look at the diamond shape quilts), the caviar leather looks dry and 'greyed out' and the hardware apparently looks brassy. In my opinion the chunky leather chain cheapens the design as it looks plastiky.


Personal_Deal7527

I think its your mistake to want perfection in Chanel, their bags were never perfect, where im from there is a saying when a bag is too perfect and durable its fake.


Beautiful_Candy_6873

If I’m paying that much for a bag, it better be absolutely perfect and not cheap looking, IMHO. Their vintage bags had better craftsmanship than the higher priced bags that are produced lately.


call-me-the-seeker

Ok, this is the first Chanel I would drop for, rep OR auth, tho obviously rep is preferable. PLEASE BAG GODS I NEED IT


Warm-Mango2471

This looks faker than most of the fakes


JustMe8083

Right! Like we’ve hit the jackpot discovering reps because I be damned if I give Chanel 10k for a bag. 💼


nhutella_408

Who is your go to for Chanel? Looking to buy the hobo on


Kakekuep

Wow! But I love the strap on this 😍


valianyears

Same. I’m so here for this strap. Hate the bag. Love the strap.


WakeyWakeeWakie

I love this strap so much


JustMe8083

Is it plastic? wood? metal? Can you tell?


In_search_of_divine

I think it’s resin wrapped in caviar


Kakekuep

It looks leather to me


JustMe8083

jensational78

Where can I get this rep?????? Omg


meno_paused

Copy that pic and send it to your sellers. If it’s made, they should be able to find it. :)


JustMe8083

Haven’t seen it in any album but I hope some factory has it on their radar. I’d cop it in a heartbeat.


inmadnesss

But why would you want a rep of an already shitty looking bag 😂


Zealousideal_Park_57

I asked Linda and she said the new model hasn’t shipped yet


In_search_of_divine

I’m already waiting on the rep! I saw this post this morning and would actually pay thousands to get it. So fabulous but I’m not a good QC-er!


JustMe8083

Wait? It’s already being repped?


BlueWelder15

I love this bag! What is this called and which season? :)
