I'm Devastated - My New CHANEL 22 Bag Is Breaking After ONE Use! Is It Really Made Out Of Leather?

[@itsjuliescottyay]

Real leather doesn’t peel. The high-quality new vegan leathers like mushroom, corn, and apple, also do not peel. The only bags I have ever had in my life that did peel were inexpensive PVC beach bags, and those took longer than 20 minutes before they peeled. This is disgraceful. It’s time to find a new fashion house to love. You can still love Coco and the history of the house, but this isn’t Chanel anymore.

exactly!! it's shocking to learn when leather gets peeled off?? that's just funny at this point. I never had any luxury items but I have multiple leather goods. I had them for almost 10 years and never peel! can't justify luxury item's quality anymore

[@antoa5825]

[@kimpalmer3586]

Hi Dacob, I work with leather. It's not the leather that is peeling, it's whatever they used to color the leather. A dye doesn't peel but a leather paint will. Paints are used to give vibrant colors.

[@SuperDacob]

Thank you so much Kim for your input 😍🙏🏻💖 and by the looks of the close up photo you see in my video, would you say that what is underneath the peeled paint coat, is a full grain type of leather texture or what do you think that is under the peeled coat? Thank you 🙏🏻🥰💖

[@kimpalmer3586]

@@SuperDacob It's hard to tell from a macro image but I would think that Chanel only uses genuine leather. Leather like human skin has pores, so I assume that's what you are seeing, Leather needs to be treated with some type of acetone solution before painting to make the paint stick. If it's not done properly you will see peeling. (Been there done that.) I hope this helps.

[@nikkiadams6828]

Thank you for this comment. I knew that leathers can be treated with some kind of coating, and the coating peel. I didn't know what it was, paint or what. Sorry to ask you a question outside of Chanel, do you know if that's how Brahmin does their colors, or is there also some kind of film that can be applied?

[@mpacia8295]

Hi Dacob. You’re so well informed and a huge Chanel fan, I’m so surprised you bought this bag in this style with a metallic sheen. Before I go on, I’m shocked Chanel would even make this style bag with metallic anything. It’s why so many people are having quality issues with this particular style. Maybe they were very hopeful. Firstly, Chanel bags with metallic colors are EXTREMELY sensitive, even when they’re structured. It’s the nature of the paint/color/ whatever the process they use to create the metallic layer/leather on top. I personally would never buy metallic colored bags from Chanel for that reason. The 22 Bag has no business having this type of coating because of the hobo, slouchy wrinkled shape. I would go back to Chanel because this is unacceptable. I’ve been a huge Chanel fan and buying their bags for several years now. I admit I’ve seen plenty of quality issues with their bags (crooked flaps, cc’s) which is why I’d always search for a perfect version of whatever bag it was I wanted. And I’ve never had issues with any of the bags I have because of that. However, with the exception of the 22 Bag in metallic colors, I will say that I, along with many other Chanel lovers and SA’s, have noticed that the quality of the bags has definitely increased noticeably the past year or two. The bags I’ve purchased in the past couple years are particularly outstanding in quality. The leather is so thick and supple, I haven’t noticed crooked flaps, etc.

[@CogMarks]

The leather used on the Coach boutique bags has quality as good as anything I’ve seen from LV and Gucci.

[@erickanew]

True I found an old coach wallet in my closet from years and years ago, wallet looked so new & better than my lv wallet I bought 2 years ago

[@socobbb]

27:27 yes, Hermes clearly states in their website that ALL of their leathers are full grain leather , You will get veins and stretch marks that make the object unique. If this 22 was an Hermes bag, it would be made in swift leather, with suade interior. That's a leather bag.

[@SuperDacob]

[@styleiteverywhere114]

Exactly and swift leather has a good characteristic which if u had a scratch on it,just massage it gently and the leather will look great again.

[@GigiHoly]

There is a new 'Pilo' line at Hermès. It is super soft to the touch, has 2 D rings to attach any bag strap. It is made of Milo lambskin inside and outside with leather drawstrings. It is a fantastic bag/pouch in my opinion but time will tell on the durability.

[@heatherpoulson5407]

I watched a documentary years ago about the stringent requirements each seamstress needed to achieve prior to producing Chanel merchandise.

Did they remove their stringent experience requirement to fulfill low employee headcount? Hmmm.

My two cents? It shouldn't matter what you put in the bag, groceries or water bottles or whatever. It is a BAG, that's what it's for. This is unbelievable!

[@JPD999]

It’s like patent leather. It has a synthetic rubber coating to give it that glossy look.. The edges of the flat part of the chain will inevitably rub & carve that coating off. If they use a heavier coating then it won’t have the soft subtle supple look & feel. It just comes with the territory,so to speak.

[@camiq1245]

Sadly unsurprising there is another alleged quality issue. I cannot pay so much for an item and worry about quality. This would deter me from buying there again until things improve. However until people stop buying it will probably remain. Genuine question - Why do people still purchase leather goods at such high prices with the quality challenges?

[@patriciawatkins9539]

This is why vintage Chanel bags are highly sought after. The leather and workmanship we're so much better. I have a vintage Chanel backpack that I bought in the 90's and paid just over a $1000 (possibly less, don't remember) That same backpack is selling on designer resale sites for $6000. If I knew then what I know now I would've bought several as investments.

Nowhere in the universe of Chanel is stated that their leather is full grain. We just expect that to be the reality, since we want to excuse ourselves for paying the prices. This is a type of leather coated with pvc. Caviar leather is a highly treated leather . There is no way to know what level of leather was used before stamping the grains on it. Chanel is ver vague on its website. Chanel does give refunds if the item is purchased on a department store.

[@SuperDacob]

Oh Dacob, it’s such a beautiful colour!

There are some helpful, constructive comments on here. But also some unnecessarily judgmental ones like 'told you so'. (Although I may be mistaken in the tone I am reading into them). Could we remember that Dacob has an eye for design and a time honoured love of this brand. So it is understandable that this bag would appeal. He loved it when he first wore it. I'm prob too emotional, but when you buy a luxury bag, there is also a certain je ne sais quoi about how it feels on you. Yes the quality should be better but I can understand the appeal and the dilemma he now faces

Also just putting it out there that this bag is not the sort of bag one would wear to a formal event. It's made to be a casual, everyday sort of bag. I'm not saying it has to hold up in a war zone, but you should be able to use it at the mofo'n grocery store. Ugh this really has me feeling things.

[@monimarz]

Absolutely dynamite and the colour is fabulous. Honestly the second fail at Chanel would be enough for me to say, goodbye. For the money that is unacceptable. I am not sure why they are placing synthetic materials on their bags. Friction would produce a wearing down of leather not flaking or peeling. How has quality control not tested the material out for durability? I think Chanel is at a point in which they believe their customers are willing to buy anything from them so they produce low grade items for the general public and anything worth having is kept for a specific clientele. If you want to match the likes of Hermes stay in one lane and stop pumping out bags. Stick to what you know as a brand and stop trying to clutter the environment with broken down jalopies and remain true to the art of Chanel. This company needs a new direction and fast.

I had a Saint Laurent tote I got from Harrods in London & one of the carry straps cracked & snapped in half only a couple of months of me having it. I was very careful with it too. It looked like there was leather coating over some white material stuff. It was advertised as a leather bag too, but it clearly wasn’t 100% leather. Harrods gave me a full refund in the end but it was shocking to find it was a leather coated strap. It was about 2 yrs ago. Ive got a few pics of it on my insta.

I have zero issue with luxury. But it is crazy to me to so much money on a bag and have to go through so many measure to try not to “mess” it up. Like you don’t wear it often or long, don’t put a lot of stuff in it, don’t fold it … to me it doesn’t seem like you get to enjoy using it but more admire it. And I’m truly sorry this happened to you. That absolutely is devastating.

[@joanna4658]

Oh chanel how disgusting it is.. 😒 I wanted to buy this bag but after ur n Romina story… NO WAY. Maybe if they fix the quality issue in the future. Thank u Dacob for this video!! 🙏🏽

Thank you Joanna 🙏🏻💖

Happy Birthday! You are the best!

[@SuperDacob]

Thank you Sheila 🙏🏻💖

[@sunshinemama9143]

Happy Birthday! And I get what you're saying about wanting to keep this bag. After all, high price doesn't necessarily mean high quality, especially with certain designer goods. One pays a lot of money for the right vibe and look, IMO. So whether you keep it or not, I support your decision!

[@SuperDacob]

Thank you dear and I am happy that you understand my point. I agree that expensive foes not always mean durable and resistant but the problem is that chanel advertise this bag as being durable and resistant so its very counterproductive of them. 💖

[@howtobeautylauren]

Hi 💛! Dacob, Rich people don't care. They wear it for the season.

[@SuperDacob]

Yeah, it does feel like that and maybe luxury brands just use that to make cheaper bags at are good for one selfie and thats that

[@christines2352]

Happiest birthday wishes Dacob. I'm so sorry your beautiful bag is not holding up as it should, love Chanel but this is inexcusable and shocking after 20 minutes of use! Thank you for being you and sharing your love of fashion with the world

[@lauriekoenig9187]

I’ve had a super cute Walmart bag for over 2 years and it’s holding up great. Was $15

[@CCNewbold]

I'm so sorry that happened to your beautiful bag! It being a birthday gift to yourself is ultra tragic. I hope the defective state of this "leather" will be acknowledged by Chanel, and they can rectify it somehow. Anyway, happy belated birthday, Dacob! xx

[@Tommaso_Squarzoni]

Canel’s Quality is dropping like crazy ong

[@Broompilot-qr9bt]

Wait until your letters start to s..l....i.....d.....e... off... Was a hot day having a beverage noticed nothing was in alignment with the letters....the glue literally was letting go....time for this bag to go too

[@dawnlovescouture2644]

I am so sorry, Dacob! I really was I teeested in this bag, but no way would I think of one now. I think the leather is coated with something to create any crinkled or glazed calfskin. It looks like this might not have been cured correctly. That’s what I am thinking.

[@Skyebright1]

Good idea

[@thegardenofeve]

Dacob, you should have just bought a Stella McCartney bag. Similar idea; everyday bag you can just throw all your shit in. It lasts for ages, is cruelty free and a lot cheaper 😅. I know you love Chanel, but it's time to have higher standards.

[@CogMarks]

Really cheap leather that is coated with acrylic or latex will peel like the 22 is peeling. At a motorcycle show I bought a very soft leather shiny backpack that did that. I paid $30 for it.

[@missb1097]

So sorry u had to feel this way on your birthday Dacob. I hope u find something else that makes your heart sing💗 - have a beautiful weekend 💕

[@mamad5686]

I wondered why you would go ahead and get one despite Romina's warning? 🤔 Resistant means repells water. How did they achieve that? They stripped the leather down and coated it!

[@SuperDacob]

Romina’s bag has issues with the metallic coating. My bag does not have the metallic coating and it does not have the same issues as the metallic 22 bags. My bag has a peeling issue. 💖

[@mamad5686]

@@SuperDacob you're right. But the real issue is metal against soft calfskin leather regardless of whichever coating is on the bag. Clearly it is not protecting the leather underneath. It's flawed but my question is do they not test out the bags before offering it. All this would have been evident within 24hrs smh.

[@JasonLuxLover]

Love the video there was a lot of items that, I guess I think you should have gotten a couple items at the last shop! The tortoiseshell accented Chanel bag you should’ve got that that is gorgeous one-of-a-kind also the hombre Dior bag that is right up your alley! They had really good prices on all their Chanel bags I could not believe it! America up charges everything! 😢

[@SuperDacob]

Oh yes, prices un the US are insane

[@sunitad592]

OMG this is terrible, I have the Big bang hobo in silver 2017 which is a very similar design and I have hammered it and it is still perfect.

[@rachaelm6882]

Happy Birthday!

[@annagetsfunky2462]

Oh no... That looks bad! But it's not only ChaneI! I don't know what's happening with the production of luxury goods lately: I have discovered the same issue on one of my newer Gucci bags (Mini Dionysus) and the last Balenciaga bag I've ordered showed the same problem... It almost looked like a cheap fake bag 😬

[@xiinieais5401]

Dacob!!! Classicswithaquirk is talking live about Chanel leather right now. She mentions you and your 22 bag!

[@lynnie4365]

Between the jacket and the bag this is starting to seem like an abusive relationship. 😕

[@SuperDacob]

Hahah, ya think?! Hahah…. Its been that way forever … 😭😭😭

[@juliee888]

I hope on Monday you get another bag that makes your heart sings. This shade of pink is gorgeous but not up to par.

[@SuperDacob]

Thank you Julie 🙏🏻💖🥹

[@KhoiNguyen-gh2ck]

OMG after Romina, you make me scare. I have this in black, I check mine when I saw what you showed. Oh no, I don’t want a $5000 bag like this and I also don’t want to get stressed whenever I wear it and always care that what happens next. Thank you for sharing ❤️. What would you do with this problem?

[@SuperDacob]

If your bag cracked or peeled, I would take it back to the chanel boutique where you bought it and would ask them for assistance

[@KhoiNguyen-gh2ck]

@@SuperDacob thank you Dacob, please have an updated video about this situation!

[@Lifeisapartydresslikeit]

This is shocking! I have all vintage Chanel - pre 2008 and I don’t have problems! But this is terrible. I never could understand why people are willing to buy fakes - now I understand! Think about it. Chanel should do better. This is unacceptable 😢 Happy Birthday Dacob! Give us an update on when the bag is fixed/replaced Good luck 🤞🏾

[@Kim-rz4lc]

The weird thing is I still lust for this bag, warts and all.

[@SuperDacob]

Me too 😭😭😭😭💖💖💖🤦🏻‍♂️

[@anieratched3648]

Dacob you're idea of getting an non Chanel leather worker(or Smith? Is that a thing? U know what I mean) to look at it first is ideal. Search your area, you should be able to find one. I agree 100 on the cobbler suggestion, those guys know their stuff. I would LOVE for someone to do that... I'm shook enough to comment post live. Anyway happy birthday! Don't let it get you down. Everything happens for a reason, there could be something awesome down the line that a voucher would come in handy for. Positive vibes to your dear!!!

[@SuperDacob]

Thank you so much Anie 🙏🏻🙏🏻💖💖💖

[@Dannyjude94]

I feel Chanel is cutting cost on their bags, I went into Chanel last week held and touched the double flap the lambskin felt cheap and very plastic

[@tracygarner5912]

Very sad. It is a pretty bag. Best of luck with an outcome that you feel you can live with. Can they discount the price for the defect? Partial credit?

[@Justme-x4h]

Happy Birthday! This bag is really to look at from afar. I would get anxiety getting it with all the bad reviews.

[@SuperDacob]

It does scare me too 😭😭😭💖🍓

[@agbaby7757]

So sorry that happened, very disappointing. This is why i can’t with Chanel anymore, cost is not matching the quality👀 that’s why for my recent handbag purchase, i took myself right over to Delvaux and the leather is leathering for me

[@SuperDacob]

🙏🏻💖

[@Skyebright1]

Yeah I can see Faure la page and Moynat becoming more popular as well
