Am i the only one watching every vid you make eventhough i dont collect handbags? Much less buy luxury handbags. I just watch all your vids because listening to you talk about anything makes me calm and happy. And as usual, your hair and makeup are goals! 💕

[@Laurenloveslaughter]

Kristine K I’m the same!! I just love listening to Aime talk about them and seeing the beautiful bags! One day I might buy a really special one, but for now I just love seeing all the details about them and her amazing styling ☺️

[@mariah8400]

Me too lol

I don't need 5 reasons not to buy Chanel bags, just 1, too expensive!

[@veronica945]

The price is fine honestly but I just don’t see myself buying it

[@Serena_9]

That is what Chanel is trying to do. Eliminate those plain Jane clientele and keep those wealthy clients who never say this bag is too expensive!

[@AyeshaKhan-dx6et]

😂😂

[@kawaiikoibito3268]

@@Serena_9 plain jane and wealthy aren't mutually exclusive moron

[@pallafox]

Luxury brands are not for everyone, its geared towards people who have huge disposable income who has an affinity towards signature/private brands. If you're reasoning is that a bag is too expensive just for regular use, you're not the target and people who are the target consumer have every right to tell you to SHUT THE FUCK UP! LMAO

[@yolandaponkers1581]

I think that everybody buys luxury brands for the hype to at least a small degree. After all, if we only wanted the particular style of the bag, there are countless cheaper alternatives we could get. We are all slaves to marketing and the prestige of designer labels. That said, I loved this video! It was a very unique and welcomed departure from most glowing reviews. Thanks for being so fabulous!

[@ChaseAmie]

Very true! :)

[@lornalegaspi1647]

Matt C true

[@angeladobine145]

I totally agree with you. Its all about the hype of Society. I give a hoot about it, l will Dupe my way to whatever bag l want, and still have monies left over. I Dont see myself spending 1000's of dollars for a damn bag. That money can go farther on constructive things. So, l have plenty of Dupe bags, and they are gorgeous, and lm not BROKE!! hahahaha.!!

[@vivianto5337]

There are but i have to say the older Chanel's hold the test of time. I have a hand me down from my mom and its over 20years old. Another one is about 30yo now. And in very good condition

[@nora4981]

I personally decided to buy a luxury brand bag (preloved, like new) as soon as I paid off my debts. Years of buying cheap bags that only last 3 months, tops, add up to saving for a bag that will last me years.

[@heyimcortney]

Amie! Your public speaking skills are phenomenal. You never say “um” or trail off. How do you do it?

[@susanlee7824]

I think it's called "natural talent" 😁

[@emmafergusonhribar]

Yes I agree. Most youtubers have to go through their vids and edit all the 'aahs' and 'ums' out making the video very disjointed and speedy.

[@daniellehidalgo6644]

hi!!! try taking a public speaking class, this helps a ton also

[@emmaphilo4049]

She is talented. And just very articulate :)

[@catherinet1756]

Few takes, I believe.

[@ShaizaShamim]

I wholeheartedly agree with your points, especially about the Hermes Birkin, I love it on other people but it is not my personal style at all, yet even still I almost talked myself into getting one! I will only add three things to consider when deciding whether a Chanel is for you, or which Chanel is for you: 1) Do you have a car? I live in Los Angeles, where a car is a necessity. Because of that, I don't have to carry my life in my bag (like I did when I lived in New York) so I get a lot more use out of my Chanel medium classic flap. 2) What is your physical stature? I am short and small so the jumbo is much too big for me but the medium classic flap I can wear every which way. 3) What do people around you wear? In LA, I've seen Chanel bags at the gym, the grocery store, wherever. Seeing them worn so casually affects how I wear mine. Anyway, just my two cents, hope it helps!

[@para966]

Shaiza Shamim Great points! I also live in the LA area, short and small 😂. I see LV, Chanel and Hermes on a daily basis. People in SoCal dress causally and wear luxury handbags casually as well.

[@ChaseAmie]

Such great points!

[@lemonforever]

I live in a small town where rarely see people wear luxury bags, my friends don't wear luxuries except one single friend doesn't need to invest in her family. Your comments make sense to me not to buy luxury bags.

[@ErikaBardere]

many of those bags are fake, which is why you see it casual so often

[@CL-yt8kc]

Couldn’t agree more. so interesting to know someone else wears her medium flap for the exact same reasons as me. And thanks to Amie creating this platform for us to talk about things we like here.

[@MeetPenelope]

I love your remarks about buying into the hype. Thinking I need a specific bag because it is trendy or a status symbol usually leads to regrets. Thanks for sharing your thoughts💕💜

[@ChaseAmie]

Same! I think once the practicalities of a bag sink in, it's difficult to still focus on the 'hype' haha :)

[@NB-sm2ou]

I’ve learnt now to try and control my urges - I wait for a few months and more often than not I find I don’t want the bag anymore 🙄

[@missy1607]

I'm so dead when you said you have to sit yourself down and have a talking about getting a bag, like that is so relatable lol. Like, do I really neeeeeeed it or just want it? Decisions decisions lol

[@misspellings]

I wear my Chanel flap bags casually by wearing it crossbody. Nobody notices. I say if you spent $5,000k, you better be wearing it because then what’s the point? Enjoy yourself. Any day can be your last day.

[@MK-jq8xl]

I second that!

[@Minnow37]

To me these price increases are showing Chanel’s incredible arrogance and that really turns me off the entire brand as a whole. I know it’s logical profit maximising, but given that they’re so huge and so frequent it reeks of price gouging which I detest. I used to like the brand but I was never in love the way others are, these past few years have only sealed that it’s a hard pass from me now to any Chanel.

[@kham9578]

JMin37 totally agree , I also feel they look like older women bags & i am 50 🤷‍♀️or maybe they are just to dressy for my style ,,,, great comment !

[@jlee8]

Totally! 10 years ago the price increase was minimal and occurred twice a year. Now it’s just a joke. I feel the increase occurs quarterly!

[@parisrousseau9561]

K Ham No Honey, hey are old ladies bags and you’re not old so why age yourself with a Granny bag just because social media promotes that anyone worth their salt should own a Granny bag😘

[@AyeshaKhan-dx6et]

Same! I feel the same and ironically it's made chanel undesirable to the 'normal' humans now

[@zalness]

Then dont buy the bag if its too expensive for u. The company intentionally does this to continue to make the brand exclusive.

[@sylly654]

#9 you may catch Chanel Fever. You may think you will just add one classic Chanel bag to your collection. And at first the price tag is quite a shock, but the beauty of the bag erases the price tag out of your mind. Then you want another Chanel, and then another... 😍 Chanel Fever is REAL, and I’ve got it!

[@chalee6843]

Sylly yep, I got the fever myself 🤣

[@lynnguyen7010]

I recently bought my first chanel jumbo, 14-15 years in the making. I'm so in love with my bag. And I know understand why they say, once you have one. You'll want more. I think my next one will be a lambskin or another classic flap but in beige.

[@sylly654]

To quote another favorite youtuber, Cassie Thorpe: “When are we going to rehab?... NEVER!” 😊😬😎

[@controversyqueen8951]

I wouldn’t ever get pre loved bags because I am crazy OCD and thinking about what has been in there and how the other person cared for it and what kind of home it came from would just drive me insane so I prefer brand new bags.

[@MsTYouTube]

Controversy Queen same here

[@FafiLPDoll]

Most people take good care of their bags. However you can just clean them. I usually pass an alcohol wipe over them.

[@talinawinston5505]

I remember one time I bought a used purse and it was awful. It was dingy and battered and smelled on the inside. Just awful. Never again. I like buying my handbags new also.

[@poisonedchalice]

[@jjenae629]

Same. I don’t trust other ppl upkeep on the bags.

[@audreychen5210]

Very amazing and well analyzed speech Amie.... I'm impressed as always. Well done!!

[@darialovette8604]

Thank you for showing the other side of Chanel. I have a classic flap and enjoy using it on the occasions that I can, but these points are absolutely true. Very informative. Ps love your channel. 😊

[@CarolCreates]

High-end bags such as Hermés, Louis Vuitton, Chanel are for people who have the lifestyle to carry them off - ie the people who don’t complain about price increases because they can afford and/or live the lifestyle 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@helena3631]

Exactly I just want one Chanel and a Hermès...Gucci and LV are a waste of time and don’t hold thier value

[@michellep1555]

Agree. Its for people who see 5-6k as pocket money. If not u r better of using ur money on things that matters.

[@truthserum5855]

Exactly. Cracks me up to see people complaining about prices as if they could afford them to begin with.

[@doegamer8964]

Anyone would complain tho, when price keeps going up, but the quality keeps going down

[@diodaon4898]

Truth Serum ive seen many people with a lot of 💰 complaining and waving chanel goodbye. and LV is still not as pricey as chanel and more people could afford it.

[@cheloshomolalie]

Great video - you always have the best content! Interesting thoughts and I agree wholeheartedly. I have been debating on a Chanel for a while but I have to be honest with myself that cost per wear wouldn't be what I hope. I'll put the money I've been saving toward a fabulous holiday instead! 👌👌💕

[@ChaseAmie]

Thank you so much Chelsea! I'm so happy you enjoyed it :)

[@lalaland8185]

You are so articulate and pleasant to listen to! I love watching your videos even if I'm not that interested in the particular topic.

[@justinesoucy]

I always told myself that if I buy Chanel it's a WOC or SLG. I agree that the sizes of the bags are awkward. The square mini wouldn't fit my phone, the jumbo is too big for my frame, etc! Great Video Amie!

[@rscool997]

Thank you for sharing these ideas!! I totally agree, if you buy into the hype and not end up using the bag or even enjoying its display in your closet, then it might be a waste.

[@SandraSkaar]

This was such a good video!! So true on every point, especially 6. and 8. There is so much hype on this bag I feel sometimes people get to a point where they believe they "should" have one to have style, or a really great "valid" bag collection, and "it's always a safe bet". It's so important to think about why we want something, to realise whether it's just hype or something that we really love and would work great for our lifestyle. 💖

[@ekazandjieva]

Thank you for being so sensible! I really appreciate your thoughts on Chanel bags. I am glad that I am not the only one who thinks that the prices are just so high. I agree with you that the hype is definitely driving the prices up! And yes, there are so many things that one can do for that kind of money that will bring more happiness. It is great to see an influencer still living in the real world! Keep up the great work. I value your advice very much.

[@ratgirl669]

Agree agree agree! You’re one of the best luxury bag channels here and even though you’re in this luxury bag sector you still give off such down to earth vibes that makes me love watching ur content :) + honestly Chanel price hikes now are crazy they’re beyond reasonable tbh lol yesteryears were a better time to collect Chanel’s but now...gott think twice before breaking the bank

[@huizhen123]

Super love the curls 😍 .Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us !

[@jenniferblue4972]

I appreciate you doing this video because i was starting to feel a little weird for not living Chanel!!!! I have been collecting handbags for quite some time and I just sold my one and only Chanel bag. I know I should love them because everyone seems to. I mean they are gorgeous! But the chain would constantly fall off my shoulders and and getting in and out of a flap bag was just annoying. And the prices are OUTRAGEOUS for the jumbo which is the size I prefer. I couldn’t fit anything into a small flap! I had to face the cold hard truth that I just don’t love the bags! I much prefer LV and Gucci and Fendi with more reasonable prices for my lifestyle and i can’t help it, i love logos with top zips and top handles! I’m a basic speedy girl I guess!

[@elizabethh9591]

I agree -- my number one thing I would tell someone considering buying a flap bag - it is ANNOYING AF to close that bag when you are in a hurry. Number two - that chain constantly slips off your shoulder. However, I also have a Chanel WOC, and I love that one so much more than my flap bag, and it was about 2/3 the price. Go figure.

[@miterca]

Love what you said about having to say do you really want one, or do u want it to just stunt with...love this vid!

[@snow77707]

Hi Amie ....everything so true!!! Chanel is so drastic with their price increases, almost seems like they don't want us to buy them. I luv the Hermes, BUT I won't spend 13 15k on a bag. That's serious right there. 😳😳🙄

[@ErikaBardere]

I think the goal is only to cater to the wealthy & prevent regular people from saving up for it, especially people who buy them to create fakes & Chanel has a ton of knockoffs

[@olivera1859]

I think Chanel increase the prices because they get away with it. Even though the bags are expensive, people still buy them

[@lilyyy5292]

I like chanel bag...

[@lilyyy5292]

[@dayle5101]

I bought my Jumbo watching your videos, this was a great video to really test the consumer in terms of the payoff, thanks!

[@rubamahasneh5965]

I needed that talk cz that's exactly the debate going in my head for my jumbo .. smartly put :) XOXXOO

[@lindawentzel9261]

Another great video, Aimee! I admire you for possibly influencing viewers to NOT buy Chanel! I have one Chanel bag; the classic medium flap in caviar, and love it! It has satisfied my need/want for the brand. Although I have considered saving for another, all of the reasons you just went over... especially cost, hype, sizing, functionality reminded me why NOT to buy Chanel. Thank-you!

[@Karen-bh2ju]

Great video. I thought I was the only handbag lover that didn’t care about the birkin. I can appreciate the bag and understand why so many love it, but it’s just not my style. I just recently purchased a jumbo and I love it!

[@blessedbythebest1003]

I truly appreciate the timing of this video. I been doing my homework in seeing why I SHOULD by the m/l or small. 🙄 ty

[@DivineStyle08]

Such great insights babe !! Always fun watching you 😘

[@Will_of_D_ssert]

Omg you deserve so many more subscribers! You are one of my TOP to watch for luxury information, and I've found so many of your videos to have inpsired me to purchase some of the bags I have today. I'm also a recent member of your FB group, Bag Chat and it's been such an great community to be apart of!! I'm going to thumbs up every video you have, you deserve so many more people watching your channel :D

[@cherrytung]

*Love this approach how you took regarding the Chanel craze!! Fresh perspective!!!*

[@soniva1252]

I love the Chanel that I have, but as prices increase I don’t see myself purchasing any more in the future. There are too many beautiful designs out there by other brands for a fraction of the price

[@bethjensen]

Fantastic and very informative video about Chanel. I love your style, and candid thoughts!

[@zerenamafdet]

Today I bought the dupe of the jumbo flap bag for myself today, and I absolutely love it for the size and the same versatile color (black). I could NEVER spend the $$$$ but I'm ecstatic that you are happy about your purchase. Loved your review and as a bag lover I say as long as you look fabulous in whatever you purchase then rock on!

[@silverflipflop4622]

Thanks for this video Amie, has been so helpful to me. I’ve been considering a classic flap for years & am now in a position to buy one but you’ve really made me think again. I’m not entirely sure I’d use it as often as I should, maybe I’ll go down the preloved market but again it’s such a mine field when spending so much x

[@roserf5755]

Very informative, thanks☺️not that I can afford one but I love your Chanel collection and watching your video..

[@DustyRose11]

Love this video because it's so different from all the other luxury videos on the internet! This was very insightful and helpful, and it's great to hear things from a different perspective. Definitely makes me rethink my wishlist :) but in a good way!

[@blackbarbei7429]

Completely agree!!

[@skeetermegia]

This is so informative! I have been lusting over these bags and the only reason is #8. Will definitely give it more thought. Thanks!

[@aokiQ]

Great video! Thank you 💕 I must say the quality issues more happens to the mini bags, that’s most ppl buying these days. They are still good for classic bags. And since Karl passed away, they are trying to do another price increase, if you want to buy one from the store, I suggest you do it ASAP :/

[@phackdaphish]

Thank you for the video!!! You really had me thinking about the factors to consider when buying a Chanel bag. Last year, I went to a Chanel boutique in Las Vegas and tried the classic flag bag in jumbo and small...it looked gorgeous and looked more gorgeous on me! It really is a beautiful bag yet so expensive! Buying the bag is a serious purchase like buying house or a car especially when you don't have cash to burn. For now, I'm giving myself time to save money and think about all factors such as financial situation, cost per wear, and lifestyle when it comes to buying a classic flag bag.

[@jenntruong6023]

Great video! I was considering getting a classic flap bag but now might not. I might just get a Chanel wallet or card holder now! Thanks for helping me in my decision because the price is way expensive even through second-hand

[@ladysusanjane2682]

Everything you’ve said is true. I have 2 jumbos and a WOC and none of them are really the perfect bag for various reasons. I love them but they aren’t perfect 🤣 good video x

[@hisforever1359]

Great video! I’ve never bought into the Chanel hype. So many brands out there at a fraction of the price.

[@alexandradolezelova2347]

I also don’t understand what is the hype about Hermes . I genuinely don’t like any of their bags , I have them associated with old French ladies with a little dog on their arm, strolling along the sea on the Côte d’Azur . Not my vibe . 😁

[@Lizzy823]

[@MadamMMStyleIcon]

I love these but jumbo is too heavy for me. So I have the jumbo easy flap instead. It’s very light. Thanks for sharing.

[@Dangerusdiva]

OK... I'm glad I didn't watch this video before I purchased my bag a few days ago.... you had good arguments ! Probably woulda talked me out of it great vid!

[@AlinaMcleod]

This was so well done. Thank you!

[@LuxCat]

Honestly, Chanel has the worst customer service. My bag has been with them since Aug Sep 2018 and upto now April 2019 Chanel has not fixed the discoloration issue on pink rectangular mini flap. I was informed they cannot do anything to restore or fix it. So it's not value for money. And yes I experienced so many quality issues with Chanel bags which makes me not want to buy and add any more Chanel bags in my handbag collection...

[@GracefulKnots]

That is why I am planning to get a vintage one. The quality of those ones is much better. Xupes has some really good ones that look almost new 😊

[@michelletsf]

that's unfortunate. my hardware on my jumbo flap had some normal wear & tear first the first time after 7 years. when i brought to the store, the repair specialist said that's normal wear & tear and chanel can certainly fix/replace it at a cost (i think ~$120) but she waived it without even me asking. She told me it would take 6-8 weeks but it was ready for pick up after 3-4 weeks. They were so nice to me even though I wasn't even buying anything.

[@Brit943]

Omg they had a bag of mine for over a year for repair. I only got it back because I started calling everyday complaining.

[@glamgoddess9]

As with LV, since 2005, the quality of the construction has gone downhill. I have only authentic bags in my collection until last week and now I am the proud owner of a 1:1 mirror image replica. The authentic brands I love have cheapened to the point where they are just not worth the money anymore. $6K? Nope.

[@sushiii5717]

This is why I love your content.

[@cindyloowho9371]

Wow as someone considering a purchase I loved this video!!! I was surprised to hear that you do not not consider it an everyday bag. Can you talk more about this? What occasions do you use it for? How do you think they would hold up for daily use?

[@littlemom2070]

What a thoughtful and informative video. It’s so easy to get sucked into the hype. I know I would never use the Birkin.

[@mistycho7294]

Such great perspective! Thank you!!!

[@elishevafreedman]

Chanel doesn't incorporate real gold?? I figured for that price, they would incorporate more real gold!

[@alliefu7499]

Elisheva Freedman most of the price went to the brand mark up. The actual unit cost of producing a bag is not that high

[@limitlessbianca]

I believe they used to, back in the day... but not anymore. I read/heard somewhere they stopped doing that since around 90's..

[@elena0928]

they were doing it, 24k gold plated ..until 2008

[@elishevafreedman]

Thank you everyone!

[@alethealim]

Soo honest with your reviews and thoughts💕🌟

[@karenellis1031]

I love the look of the Chanel flaps but they aren’t for me. I bought a Kate Spade bag before Christmas to try the style. It is similar to the small or medium flap and I haven’t used it. I’ve gone to use it several times but it never feels right for me. I will just admire from afar!🛍

[@caterinaiona6397]

How absolutely right you are about everything you said. Wonderful video, well done. I own the Jumbo just like yours (only single flap since it is from 2008 I think), the Medium and a WOC. I wouldn't say that I use them so often, not at all often come to think of it, but I really did want to buy them (the two first were preloved the WOC new) and even if I would get probably much more than I spent for them if I sold them I cannot do it. I love these bags even if I don't use them as they should but I love having them. However, even though I also love the Gabrielle bag I would never allow myself to buy it as I know it would just stay in the dustbag, box and wardrobe most of the time like the others. Anyway, thank you for another wonderful video.

[@sandrarobinson1692]

Great video but I’m still saving for a jumbo though! 😍

[@betsywicks6291]

Great video! You speak so clearly and don’t distract your viewers by playing with your hair or other displaying other distracting habits. I always look forward to your next video.

[@rosalindjaffe9336]

Another great video! Would you consider doing a video on the Hermes vs. the YSL leather flat sandals? Thank you! :)

[@bbarr4377]

Dearest Amie, fantastic content! Thank you for being brutally honest about purchasing Chanel!! Some of the things you mentioned I wasn’t aware of and I truly appreciate your insight! You are the true Chanel authority on Utube 🤗🥰 A Chanel handbag is on my wish list, however, it’s got to fit into by wardrobe and style. I’m taking my time finding the right bag for me and your video have been very insightful. I do think the history of Chanel is very special and would much rather buy a Chanel as my one big purchase. I’d never and I mean never buy a Berken! Lol to me the style is a big stodgy and old lady looking 😆 in my opinion. Keep these great videos coming!!! 🤗❤️💕😉👍🏻

[@raquelc.3791]

This is one of the smartest and best-made videos I've seen in the world of bag lovers. Thanks for all your thoughts.

[@ChaseAmie]

Thank you so much Raquel!

[@merrywalsh2809]

I feel like my two CHANEL bags can be worn with casual outfits. It makes a good counterpoint, like the I.M.Pei glass pyramid in the courtyard of the Louvre. Mixing it up!

[@lvhandan]

That's a great share. I cannot agree with you any more. Every time I set off I just want to change another bag even I already put everything in the coco handle. I think you are quite right. Before you purchase it, consider the strap length and the capacity of the Chanel bag.

[@noorallawati5390]

I got myself a preloved medium business affinity bag .. i always dreamed of the classic but when i saw the BA .. i knew it was the it bag of Chanel for me & immediately got it without doubts. I use it regularly almost everywhere .. its perfect for cross body but i use it on shoulder & u can wrap the chain to reduce the length of it .. perfect option of a bag really

[@xacasil]

I totally agree!! Not going to lie, I absolutely adore Chanel and would love to buy their whole classic and boy collection but there are definitely other brands out there that don't charge a ridiculous amount. I mean sure it's a luxury brand but there's no need for a selection of different colors of the same styled bag. Thank you so much for your advice! :) Much appreciated and I absolutely love you! you are definitely goals 😍

[@michellep1555]

I am still gonna get one. Love the bags u got

[@Bbbbbbcd]

Thank you for being so honest - I think people that love Chanel will still love it- and I agree about the Birkin bag x

[@kiraelli190]

Great video.. Just a tip the jumbo chain if it falls too long clip it inside to shorten it, either with a chain clip or a Chanel ribbon tied between the links. For reference I'm 5"6 and love cross-bodying mine to the length that works for me by this method.

[@DionneWard]

Really great video and I love the look of it but I feel I would have to dress up to match the bag as I am more relaxed in what I wear. But I have tried the smaller bags but again I feel I drown them. Interesting video 🌸

[@pv7296]

Loved this video! I bought a jumbo because of all the hype, but only used it a couple of times since it was overwhelming on my petite frame. I replaced it with a m/l thinking I would use it more, but ultimately the mini is my favourite size!

[@LuxCat]

Me too

[@pbrd4695]

I agree with social media spreading quality issues. Also believe that about Louis Vuitton...

Great video! I started purchasing Chanel bags many years ago. They were expensive but not outrageous. The price increases have just been too much. They aren't worth it to me. I'm glad I have the ones I do though. xoxo

It has been always a fun and nice way to start the morning to watch your videos while dressing and getting ready to work . I agree totally despite the fact I have jumbo, medium and CC trendy ( before couple of days ) By the way what is your opinion about CC trendy , please make a video about your thought about it and wether you think it will be classic

Hi Amie, thanks for the insightful video. I do agree with u that Chanel bags are very pretty and dainty which the cost per use may be an issue. I only have a Chanel boy which is kept in my closet most of the time. The chain is a killer... Like what u have mentioned, the Chanel chain/strap length is a bit tricky. My friend could have her Chanel boy crossbody and it sits very nicely on her. But for me, it’s a bit high to my liking

I definitely wish a video like this went up two years ago when I bought my m/l. There are only a handful of occasions where I have used it, and the last time was almost a year ago. It will be a relief to sell it on to someone who will actually use it.

I'll purchase it from you!
