Tips for Buying a Vintage Chanel Bag | My Experience Using Xupes

[@anneturner1245]

I love vintage too! Absolutely agree that quality is fantastic. I have been collecting for 25 plus years my first bag was 25$ for a lambskin black belted bag with gold hardware it was early 1990’s . My journey and love for Chanel began with the feel of that bag..I too dream about Chanel and have many pre loved but so so loved bags for myself and my girls and their girls one day! Thank you for this amazing utube ….. You inspired me ! Maybe one day I will share my journey and love for Chanel too…… Thank you thank you

Congrats! this is so monumental!!! This is how I feel about buying my very first vintage chanel bag and having to pay a lil. more is 10x better as long as they're in very good condition! I laughed so hard about the phrase "burry me with this bag" because it's exactly how I feel about mine LOL

hahah thank you! I 100% agree, so worth the extra money xxx

Love the vid! Definitely helped me in my search for a vintage Chanel myself. I wanted to know your thought process on opting for the small instead of the medium as I am a bit torn at the moment! Thank you!!

[@AdelineLoke]

So glad this helped you! I tried on both and went for the small as I just prefer how the size looks on my frame (I'm only 5'2!), especially when worn crossbody. I thought that the medium just jutted out a tad too much. I would also use this as more of an occasion bag, so small works as I wouldn't be carrying too much in it. xx

Chanced upon your video while thinking of buying the same vintage bag. It’s my dream bag too and I just loved how you compare yourself to Penn Badgley’s character in you. 😂 I hope I get to buy mine!!!

[@AdelineLoke]

Hahaha. Minus the murder, it's all true. I hope you get yours soon! x

Is it 24k gold plating or solid 24k gold

[@anneturner1245]

I believe it’s plated and I have a 1995 that I found that was re plated and wow was that beautiful.. I would buy vintage again and again it shines

[@thewanderingglider]

Great content 🖤 I had a similar idea. I wanted to get a vintage Chanel from my birth year but I didn’t have much luck finding one in a very good condition. So, now I got one from my brother’s instead. 😂

[@bbeatrice]

I came here as I am currently contemplating to get a classic flap in lambskin from 2000-2002. And I have been seeing everyone's comments that vintage chanel bags' quality is better. 😁To add on, my birth year is also 1992. Hi-5! 🥰

[@AdelineLoke]

Hello fellow '92! I hope you find your bag xxx

[@lolabradshaw3197]

You are the ONLY other person I’ve heard wanting a chanel from their birth year. I’m still searching for mine. #1991

[@AdelineLoke]

Love that! It’s such a nice idea if I do say so myself 😌 your perfect vintage is out there waiting for you xxx

[@classified773]

Same here - on the hunt for a 1993 classic flap! Or even a Hermes Kelly or Birkin from 1993

Hey Adeline, lovely video as always! I was wondering, it's not visible in this video but you usually wear a necklace with the letter A on it. Which brand is the necklace from?

[@AdelineLoke]

Hey Hannah, it's from Mejuri! I have a 10% off link here if you are a new customer - mejurifinecrew.sjv.io/Jrdn5a

Is that the sézane Betty cardigan? 😅

[@AdelineLoke]

Yes! I love it. I have a sezane review video from a few months ago with it x

[@ya-lingm1812]

I thought it looks very familiar to me as I got them in 5 different colours so I love them too. I’ll check that video out. Thank you ☺️. Btw, great video about vintage Chanel bags. I’m currently looking to purchase one but I’d like the one either from very early 90s or 80s. This one in London don’t have many “old” one but AMORE in Tokyo got loads. The trouble is I can’t just fly to Tokyo to buy the bag 😭

[@breadandbutter5512]

I love this review I still prefer lambskin even though it scratches easily. 😂

[@AdelineLoke]

Me too. I protect mine like a baby!

[@GracefulKnots]

Lovely bag. Congratulations. Oh I bought a Chanel bag from vestiaire collective and was able to return it. I think if you buy from a private seller on vestiaire you can't return it

[@AdelineLoke]

Yes you're right, they need to be a professional seller in order to be able to return!
