[@lpngjas]

I have stopped purchasing from Chanel for a few years now. Their aesthetics no longer strike me as classic, and I can’t be bothered to worry about their quality issues… happy with my four flap bags. I do wish they would deliver better quality products across the board.. luxury is all in the quality details, IMO. I feel sometimes consumers make excuses to accept the faulty details just to own a Chanel. However, for me the brand doesn’t carry the same weight as before, no matter how high the price tag may be.

[@bascoaful]

I have to say, there are a few things I really think are classics, that I would love to have, but generally though I think the stuff is quite lackluster

[@JenMakeupDollxo]

Agreed!

[@victoriagonzales5164]

Well said! Sounds like the people who is buying these bags have literally no taste as they are emerging class and just to get a Chanel item, they buy whatever …

[@elizabethnunez3797]

@@victoriagonzales5164wow. Just wow on your comment.

[@chrissymoss514]

I'm so pleased to hear that your bag isn't showing any adverse signs of either wear or bad workmanship. I do believe that the high quality standards Chanel were renowned for, has slipped a little. My grandma had two Chanel purses that, had you felt/held, are very different to today's purses - even down to the hardware! But, I suppose, everything was much different back then. Much love 🧡💜🧡

[@jmah9766]

I have the small in black and since watching Romina and Dacob’s videos, I took mine out of the closet and began using her every day just to see how it would wear. Like yours, I have no issues thus far. My stitches also run over the edge to where the chains rub over them but there’s no wear whatsoever yet. Like you said, I have enjoyed using mine everyday as it really is super easy! Thank you for sharing your update.

[@alisasepe6098]

Yours is the best color I’ve seen! It’s so sad that there are issues and that completely steered me from these bags!

[@archanajayaraman9928]

Your video brings such a mental relief to me 🙏 I have the same bag, haven’t used mine and past the 30 day. The videos fret me as mine has the edge stitching. After watching the videos I took the effort to wrap the chain inside and near the corners with tissue paper. Probably the size makes a difference like you noted and the weight also.

[@afafcaptan6856]

I enjoy watching your video even I cannot buy any of your product but I love it

[@KC-kf6vh]

Thank you Michelle for your video. I bought the metallic blue 22 bag, and I have no issues. I love using it. I have to say it’s heartbreaking to hear much negativity about the 22 bag, especially if you own it... this is why I found your video refreshing.... thank you again....

Beautiful bag!

Splurged on a Louis Vuitton bag last year. FWIW the quality is fantastic. It still makes me giddy! Highly recommend.

I have the small navy 22 and I haven’t had any issues either! We’re lucky. It makes me nervous because I want another color eventually.

[@yokorivers5320]

It must be so upsetting if your high end bag falls apart in short period of time. On the other hand, your Chanel bag looks so pretty and love the color which is so versatile❤️

[@lluvbagel9875]

I nearly bought one in caramel as well but changed my mind after I saw so many videos about issues with this bag. Somehow, I didn’t regret either not getting it considering Chanel’s quality has gone downhill. But glad to see yours hold up nicely. It’s a nice colour 😍

[@hopekatz2725]

Ronina Rose Mae has come to peace with her bag. She’s keeping it and still lives it

[@taraalston8697]

🤎 your bag!

[@tayd.7373]

The wearing may come from using close to the body, rubbing…Chanel’s quality is not good despite their rapid price increases…

[@RobinKules]

Sorry to hear this type of Chanel bag is not wearing well. I bought a white Chanel 19 bag in May and absolutely loving it. No unusual wearing. I’m going to stay away from the metallic leather. Thank you for such a great informative video.

[@justinejustice_league1857]

It's essentially a drawstring bag and drawstring do have weak points due to its function. The constant weight, pulling and rubbing of that chain will eventually cause the leather to wear. It's too soft a material to be a drawstring I'm suprised Chanel released this style of handbag, seeing as how they are a classic brand..its giving very moschino, which I do LOVE but Chanel and Moschino are two very different tastes. I really dont think Chanel will be keeping her as a staple and I see this one flooding the resell markets.

[@danielle2661]

That's what I've been saying. It's just a bad design for the type of materials and price. The drawstring design with the heavy chains and heavy leather is bound to wear the bag no matter how little you carry in it. And it's a handbag, you should be able to carry a decent amount and not have to worry. I don't want to yuck anyone's yum, but this bag design is terrible. I don't get what people see in it. It reminds me of a dust bag that an actual bag come in. Just a drawstring sack. It's a big ol' shrug from me.

[@tjacegem]

Michele, I have also found that the way bags are treated with colors makes a difference. If bags are drum dyed with color, they tend to not wear as badly as opposed to spray painted. Hopefully the Chanel bags are drum dyed. I own both types and the spray painted bags do not hold up as well. I have donated all of my spray-painted bags.

[@ralphandleosmom9075]

I don’t buy Chanel bags as they’ve rarely appealed to me but I have had quality issues with high end bags. First a Chloe that became discolored unused! Net-a-porter gave me credit for it almost a year after I bought it. I also had 2 Valentino bags where the handles peeled apart. The Valentinos were due to the soft thin leather. I have too many Valentino bags and the others are all beautifully made. Valentino replaced the first bag but the replacement also ended up having the same issue. They seem to have discontinued the style now.

[@weir_family]

Hello Michele!

[@olene184]

I have the small 22 in metallic blue from the 22A collection and it's been completely fine thus far. No wear and tear. :)

[@LesiavanderWoman]

I bought this bag today, looked to KZbin and now I am horrified about my bag might be faulty. It is little relief that not all people have drama with the bag. Hope mine will be good

[@OlesyaBagStory]

Hi! I have metallic bronze, wear it very often and no issues as well

[@sharifreiman4213]

Glad to hear! I just got the metallic rose gold & am hoping it will hold up

[@cielo_ciel_]

Chanel’s recent craftsmanship is ridiculous

[@patr70]

The worse the quality gets.. the more they raise the prices. 😨 FENDI and DIOR has better quality and craftsmenship.

[@LizLyonsPhD]

Hmmm. Quality control issues maybe? Yours does seem well made and you are not loading it up and stressing it. My designer bags seem to last forever but mostly because I have so many purses, no one purse is over-used, who knows.

[@annauman5270]

Hi Michele! Love your videos a lot! Can you tell what camera and lens do you use for filming? ❤

[@TheMicheleWang]

For this video it’s the Canon R5 with the 50mm f/1.8 lens.

[@ElisaGz]

Please tell us what lip liner are you wearing 🙏🏻😍

[@cathhl2440]

There are a few other factors: like the way the bag is carried, weather and humidity and weight of load. Even if both owners carry the bag on the shoulder, the angle of the straps may be different. Eg I have a habit of pushing my shoulder bag towards my back at a diagonal angle. Generally, this design is not going to he kind to the material. I was a little shocked they designed something like this.

[@sunitad592]

Maybe I am wrong but 5.39 minutes the leather woven through the chain looks a little scuffed or frayed, great video thank you XX

[@Momoko4ever1]

Can you do a bag update on this?

[@808spicysushi]

Your 22 is the color I want! Yeah, the issue is in the dye process. I wouldn't get the bag in the saturated color that Dacob had and I would never get a metallic or patent bag. But that gal that wore the black 22, ruined her dress from the horrendous paint rubbing on her shoulder... I was shocked!

[@Born1986]

I have the same color bag in a size Medium, is starting to show wear after one use. It’s a beautiful bag, but be wary.

[@dawndouglas922]

Some people have made commentts on different ways they dye leather depending on the colour the bag is.

[@koreansarah]

Hi, can I ask how the bottom corners are holding up? Mine has been fading and wanted to know if thats normal

[@hhueter]

I suspect that the drawstring design really doesn’t work for more treated leathers (metallized on seems less malleable than yours). Super Dacobs might be painted differently since it does have a much brighter color and is shinier so it’s more treated than the black or beige. I’ve heard it’s happening on the original models, but it seems to be the more treated leathers that are having the most problems. I do wonder if it would have been better to have some kinda of cloth in the loop to protect the leather more.

[@tesspalmer992]

To me, the small looks like it holds a lot!

[@suew3216]

does that chain weighs down hard on your shoulder if the stuff u carry inside is heavy?

[@ll650]

I think it depends on whether the person carries heavy stuff. The heavier the bag, the more pressure against the leather when the chain is rubbing against it as the person moves and walks. For most bags, the strap is attached to a ring which is affixed to the bag, that helps distribute the weight. For this bag, it’s just the chain pulling against the leather to support the bag. I think you can tighten/loosen the bag a little, like a drawstring mechanism. If you constantly tighten or loosen the chain drawstring, the chain rubs more against the leather, scratching or misshaping it.

[@accesstotheredcarpet]

Not necessarily true though. Super Dacob wore his for not more than 30 minutes to the supermarket with very minimal stuff in his bag and it was falling apart on him. And the paint on the leather rubbed off on his shirt. He was just making a quick trip to the store. Not to the beach with all the junk to carry. And It was a less than a week when he purchased his bag. Keep in mind, we’re talking about $5,000 to $7,000 dollar bag. Not some cheap bag you guy at Forever 21. The leather bag is thick and sturdy with strength consistency and quality. They are designed to withstand good amount of weight and wear. That being said, If you’re going to splurge an arm and leg, and people that are buying luxury for that price should expect high quality. Not some BS quality with bags falling apart in matter of hours and days after purchase. It’s Chanel hello!

[@ll650]

@@accesstotheredcarpet Then it may be a quality and design issue. I’m thinking of their Holiday set which was thoroughly ridiculed for being expensive (about $900) but having poor quality.

[@kidslovetoystv1650]

Hi Michelle, just stumbled on your post today and can I just say I love how you're rocking your salt and pepper hair. That's bold and refreshing to see but also that you actually look good and still youthful! I haven't coloured my hair since pregnant with my first baby over a dozen years ago and was wondering if I should continue to stick to my mildly grey hair and then found you! Inspiring! 😙

[@TheMicheleWang]

Wonderful - thank you!

[@ellensirat3000]

May i know what is your bag colour called?

[@MariaRodriguez-om1yi]

Can you tell me how much your bag was at the time you bought it and this small size?

[@therealshakeen]

Great video! I’m so glad yours is ok! I’ve had a mixed bag of reports from people who own this bag -some have had issues while some haven’t. Mine is not too bad. I do have some tiny spots of scuffing. But, it’s exactly what I suspected and what you’ve explained - anything treated or coated will perhaps peel or scuff. Versus leathers that are dyed through. I think it’s great that we post our updates so that people can make an informed decision. The caramel 22 is so nice! I got to try it on and was tempted. But I’ve already got a medium coral pink and I love it for summer! There is speculation that perhaps this may not be full leather, but I hope that isn’t the case. I’m still tempted by the black 🫣

[@vanessalauren1033]

Great video! However, I don’t believe your bag is the small size, according to the alignment, it definitely looks like the medium. I have the same one🥰🥰🥰

[@TheMicheleWang]

It's definitely the small. The small is only about an inch shorter and less wide. It's very very close to the medium size.

[@janmarchand7294]

You should check out Fashion Influencer Sophie Shohet's channel. She's been very discouraged with Chanel, claiming they are upping the prices but not the quality we used to enjoy. Quite thought provoking actually. I have several vintage Chanel bags and they still look brand new, extremely well made and I don't think I'll bother purchasing any new ones.

[@dazereigh]

Quality of designer items is no where near what it should be for the price. I bought a Chanel wallet about 15 years ago and within the first few weeks it buckled and Chanel exchanged it and it happened again and they would not change it or get it fixed for me at all. I get a Prada one soon after and it has never been an issue and I’ve been using it since.

[@fahmeeda5716]

What 's the name of the lipstick you're wearing......

[@SueK2001]

It’s such a shame that Chanel produced a bag that doesn’t wear well for some. I don’t use designer bags anymore because I’m pretty rough with my purses. The last one I bought was maybe 15 years ago (Coach) which has broken in nicely due to thick leather. Glad your Chanel 22 bag isn’t showing signs of wear!

[@d.v.stuyvesant6944]

My workhorse bag is a black Coach that I bought in 1995. This was when Coach bags were simply designed with high quality leather.

[@billiecomeaux]

I wonder if the issue is also about the bag's treatment and possible over filling?

[@TheCiamarie]

The two people she mentioned had keys and glasses only in it. It's really sad, Forever 21 fast fashion bags hold up better than some of these bags.

[@kathrynimhoff344]

I think that the pink and purple versions were highly metallic. Yours was less so and probably safe from the issue.

[@TheMicheleWang]

Yes I agree! Thank you Kathryn ❤️

[@cwynn1547]

Chanel has some sales savvy with this bag. This bag is a one-season bag, looking it’s best new. I could see that the first time I saw the bag, it’s not a workhorse staple. The one-season look is the real status aspect of it, who can afford to buy a Chanel that looks good for one year? That’s the financial distinction between people who save and save to buy one classic flap, versus a person who can just go buy a new one every few months.

[@kateaye3506]

You are on to something. Good analysis.

[@PolarBear-mj9wt]

Chanel's price tag vs quality is ridiculous & disgust hiding behind 'sustainability'

[@louisesharpy]

The chain pulls it too hard where you are talking about. It will wear it down, and Pull. also it will crack. It’s to play around with leather (way back my friend made purses, shoes ) she worked with Italian leather and some other brand. I know it will wear. Just fun Even the corners on the bottom

Returned. Same issues. Wearing away of leather. Discoloration. Etc. they dont care at all. Suggested I spend more on a different kind of leather bag they had. Nope! I know stick to more basic sturdy styles from moderately priced brands. Its sad that even luxury companies have this problem and it keeps me from considering their products. I hope they make it right for those w problem bags.

this shows that some time designers even high end are not much better quality than a marc jacobs or ted baker you pay alot for the brand the logo. to me then it is not worth the money. some companies are doing much better i recently got a prada bag and love it but chanel is probably being made in china shipped back to italy or paris where they stamp the logo and hardware and then sell it after that saying being made in italy. common sence but i guess if you are not rich you can tell these things.

No , not really into super-branded luxury handbags that cost the earth . I prefer less known, very well made bags, that have style but don't break the bank. Have worked in fashion all my life, and appreciate the smaller vintage Chanel classic bags but one is enough. A lot of the Chanel bags look matronly (to me of course) and when paired with a fun COS dress...eeeeehhh...not so fun anymore... just .very. luxury. Mall. ladies. who. shop. Michele , I love to watch your videos for your smart, savvy, stylish, intelligent self with a great sense of humour Just love the lifestyle Mich-mas series and the "best of" videos...But lately there's a feeling of makeup over-over-consumption, having to have each and every colour in a line when you won't use them. and have to throw them away in a year or 2...The makeup info on new products coming out is priceless and done in an intelligent, informative way that I very much appreciate..but you don't need to keep or buy everything...life is too just too dam* short..... my personal feeling only of course
