Chanel Will Never Be Hermès: New Prices Are Ridiculous!

[@SSkye7]

Last year I was duped, sold a fake Chanel caviar quilted double flap by a reputable pre-loved market retailer. It was so flawless that the authenticator I consulted had a difficult time identifying it as a dupe. She said it was one of the highest quality dupes she'd come across & advised me to keep it. In her words: "I'd like to see Chanel match this quality & craftsmanship. But those days are behind us now." She even attempted to find the 'artisan' for "personal future reference." I kept the bag & even after a year of weekly non-precious use, it still looks spanking new. No scratches, no sign of wear, quilting as quilt-y as the day I bought it. Best pre-loved bargain ever. Literally blows my authentic Chanels out of their murky waters! 👜🌟

[@perspectiveofme]

Omg that just proves how well-developed the dupe market has become. I'm glad you kept the bag!

[@afihaileywibowo1095]

Where did you buy it? May I know? 😂🙏 Of course you can't say it here; how will it work then?

[@NelumboNelumbo]

Lol

[@pinklover1160]

Huh???

[@Katie_Woo]

That's amazing! Especially given the slip in quality the genuine article is going through

[@AthenaAphrodite1973]

The irony is the market Chanel wants to cater to rarely buys their handbags and especially for that price. In fact, there are rumors going around that wealthy women are buying copy bags of designer bags. I believe that to be true because wealthy people tend to spend their money wisely. I HOPE Chanel’s ridiculous price increases backfire!

[@rockyhrndz]

I hope it doesn’t backfire and you should think about your comment and see what it says about yourself.

[@kalinnaslay]

And, wealthy people tend to pass down their high luxe items unto their kids/grandkids etc.

[@jirou6228]

If Chanel ridiculous price range backfire why would people still buy Hermes bag ? this is all just multi level marketing... from the start all this luxury brand is just a big mlm... at least Hermes bag is some what like a stock market where you could resell it

[@wearethenewmalearmy1399]

oh please...wealthy women can afford Chanel. people who make videos complaining that they cant afford a Chanel bag anymore are the last people Chanel wants to carry their bags i i only just saw Gorlock The Destroyer (look her up) in a video today bragging about her Chanel bag. what brand in their right mind want to see their bags on ugly transvestites? why not stop complaining and either earn more or get more realistic aspirations.

[@kalinnaslay]

It's mind-boggling how this fashion house can blatantly jack up the prices on their bags while the quality dwindles each day and cater to the wealthy, all because they want to be like or surpass Hermes? This just makes me sick. Hermes may not be an angel, but at least the quality is there. Not just Chanel, but shame on all these luxury brands that are making a vicious habit of delivering subpar products (quality wise) while raising the prices. It's ridiculous 😒

[@perspectiveofme]

Ridiculous, indeed!

[@Dropthesoapto]

The quality dwindles bc they are mass producing and might be just that issue they want to stop. Besides, they might feel that for the masses low quality my be suffice but for the very wealthy costumer it won’t. They don’t want to loose the prestige. They can ditch the low quality artisans working for the brand, lower fixed costs and the hassles associated to bigger productions of handbags and sell fewer but keeping the profits.

[@barbthegreat586]

They don't affect me at all. As a principle, I don't buy ridiculously overpriced mediocre staff.

[@cocolove9916]

well Chanel isn't mediocre and there are people who are unaffected by the price increase. just buy a fake then

[@barbthegreat586]

@@cocolove9916 Errr, yes, it is, at least newer products. I have no doubts there're plenty of buyers and I don't find the bags imaginative enough to buy fakes.

[@evelin2019]

Congrats to your 10k subscribers 🥰

[@ninawestlake5005]

I would not even bother getting worked up over anything that has a big prize and low quality. I'd simply not buy it and move on. Same thing goes for all the stress customers are expected to endure just to get the almighty hermes bag. Pas pour moi. Merci!

[@betsyavallone4314]

This is going to backfire on Chanel. The wealthy people they are trying to cater to, will just spend their money at Hermes instead.

[@NelumboNelumbo]

Yes i never saw Chanel in Buses/public transfer before, now its everywhere.

[@Dropthesoapto]

@@NelumboNelumboor maybe replicas.

[@duchess_of_petty9323]

You have got to be kidding me. Mine was ridiculously overpriced when I bought it in 2022 so a bag that I’ve had for a year and a half is now going to be $3000 more than what I paid for it then there is no way in hell I would buy a Chanel now.

[@cocolove9916]

don't buy what you can't afford then lol the increase wont affect everyone people will still be able to afford it and buy it no mater the price. 😂

[@Klingonmastr]

With some YSL and Armani fragrances the retail price for a 3.4 ounce or 4.2 ounce bottle is now $180. L'Oreal thinks they charge Tom Ford and Channel prices for their luxury beauty products and people won't mind paying these inflated prices. I already know Chanel like Luis Vuitton doesn't offer any discounts on their handbags. So these price increases are pretty ridiculous. How much are people willing to spend for a Chanel Handbag?

[@Dropthesoapto]

There's always a crook for every fool. At this point walking with a channel (if I would have one ) in the street would make me feel like the fool on call. So ridiculous!

[@brendaf1033]

Agree. So not worth the price

[@simonecomtesse2772]

I still like the Chanel vintage bags and I think this is a good way to go if you love Chanel bags in general. The quality of the Vintage bags is so much better than the new ones and they are much more affordable.

[@design4nyone793]

If the quality of the fake bag is better than the real bag. Then I will buy a fake bag and use it for a long time. This is not an Iphone, you need to buy a real iPhone to be able to use real applications and ensure data security for yourself. It's just a bag.

[@jammasterjay4298]

Chanel products have gone way down since they went corporate the products are not made with quality materials! A lot of the leather products are made in a Spanish town the corporate people don’t want you to know about!!!OVER PRICED AND BAD QUALITY =profit disaster?!! For the money I would always go for Hermes

[@yothiga]

I kinda see why they increased the price since the classics flap is everywhere. I associate that specific bag with gold digger actually 😅

[@ohthankg-dforthebourgeoisi9800]

😂 I knew one and she would carry THAT very bag on dates so the fellow would know she was high maintenance.

[@Keep-on-ok]

I prefer Chanel over Hermes.

[@graciegrapes2437]

me too.

Me three

[@gigicat7043]

Chanel paper shopping bags are made in china. 🤣🤣🤣 let’s hope that the ‘legit’ chanel one is going to put their items in the ones made in France.

[@RayNLA]

China makes incredible quality bags!

[@gigicat7043]

@@RayNLA they also make incredible quality wine.

[@deborahmurray6500]

I have a classic double flap in black lambskin from 1998. Thank goodness because the probability of my purchasing ANYTHING from CHANEL ever again is highly unlikely. These price increases are GREED for a $200 to manufacture handbag. The whole situation is obscene and outrageous!

[@perspectiveofme]

Greed sums it up!

[@user-by2sx9qk1e]

Chanel is more contemporary and relatable than Hermes. We are in a different age where nobility that attend equestrian events isn’t really a thing. Women have ascended to executive positions, and more modern brands that represent this ascension will obviously gain more public acclaim and recognition. As Shakira beautifully said: « Women don’t cry anymore, women cash in » (exactly like Coco Chanel did not so long ago).

[@svetlanaklammler1451]

Chanel is Chanel and Hermes is Hermes.. just two different beautiful Bags ! It’s not clever to compare them Both of them are high quality and precious

[@Teurtles]

Thank God I find Chanel bags plain awful the bags remind me of a mattress. So many other beautiful bags out there I would forget Chanel bags

[@perspectiveofme]

I agree there are definitely better bags out there with much cheaper prices

[@shirleycantoni3152]

Sorry. Chanel bags or their flaps do not turn me on. Cannot even compare to Hermes. They can up their price 10 fold, and it will never be on par with Hermes. It’s like comparing Beluga caviar with red fish roe eggs 😉

[@DemureDarlings]

I’m in the market for 2-3 new Chanel bags then I am DONE after 2024!!!!

[@amaliag718]

I find their products to be kitch

[@wittingchic]

1000% agree… new video on my channel too on this topic! It’s insane. 🙅🏼‍♀️

[@Foxie635]

Hermes large Birkin are hideous.

[@Mythoughtonpoliticaltopics]

Chanel has a very bad history and as for me I would not not buy. I love hermes I guess because of Grace Kelly. But yall can have Chanel. making so the middls class can not buy what is that telling you all. its gooing to come a time none of these stores are going to be able to do anything. This makes me pure sick I mean for real
