Congratulations on you new vintage Chanel bag! 🎉❤ I have collected about 20 Chanel bags. Some were sold to fund others. After these years, I still won’t spend the money on a new Chanel bag. According to the vintage Chanel owner’s booklet that came with a couple of my bags, the hardwares are gilded with an alloy containing 24K gold. Since it’s NOT pure 24K gold plated, (as many KZbinrs mistakenly clam), the other metals in the alloy, such as copper, will be tarnished. Therefore, in the booklet, it suggests, to avoid salted air and water. Also, I avoid hand sanitizer. Hope I have helped.

I think you made the right decision! I’m in the same boat I purchased a classic flap new in 2019 and within the past few years I’ve jumped head first into vintage and vintage is GIVING!!!!! You just can’t beat the quality. I’m considering selling mine to get a vintage as well. Congratulations on your beautiful bag!

Aww thank you!! I know the new ones are still beautiful but even the butter soft leather of the vintage ones is insane plus the 24k gold plated can't be beat. I would suggest taking your time on your search so you find a perfect vintage one you will looooove

Your bag is lovely and I understand why you preferred the vintage. Honestly they are nicer. I have this same bag in pink and it is 27 years old and still very lovely. My other one is 28 years old and lovely too. That 24 carat gold plating is so beautiful😍

W❤❤❤W 😍 Amazing review!!! You made me love my vintage MORE. I connected with you for the love of Chanel egabrense you said you drool!❤ if you KNOW you know lol. The 24k. Changes the GAME for me! Especially knowing they make them without great quality anymore. Something about the broken in feel of the vintage. I respect you made the trade 😍 because it shows the true passion and love for the Coco. Red looks gorgeous on you btw.

I love vintage Chanel bags as well! It makes my heart sing in a different tune Vs the current ones 😊 which bag did you exchange?
@reelinton2 жыл бұрын
I know right, my heart is still singing all the songs haha. I originally had a 2018 classic double flap from in store because I always dreamt of having the in store experience but realized shortly after it didn't matter at all

This is the video i am looking for! I have my eyes on a vintage caviar 2002 medium cf. Can you give me tips what to check on the bag? This weekend i will visit the store to see the bag in person and check it thoroughly☺️ im excited and scared at the same time.. it comes almost full set complete.
@reelinton Жыл бұрын
OMG I'm so excited for you, I hope it went well. After of course confirming the authenticity it is good to check the corners for wear, the leather on the chain strap to make sure the leather is still in tact and also the hardware to see how much scratching it has. Lastly,I think it's good to do a thorough check of the interior to see what condition it is in :)!
