Why I don't buy CHANEL bags anymore

[@fatimamriv869]

Quality has decreased but prices are increasing... my mother bought a Chanel bag in 1995 and it is amazing to realise how the quality has decreased so badly. Shame on Chanel cuz they keep on increasing their prices. At the end people will pay just for a logo CC. 🥺😭

[@SuperDacob]

Oh yes, bag quality was a different category back in the day.

[@maggiechang9956]

Agree with Dacob. The quality of those big brands bag nowadays doesn’t goes parallel with the price tags. I seen my country’s local brand leather bags serve better than those big brands with reasonable price. Buy local and support local business

[@SuperDacob]

Yes, in most cases the prices are just way off the charts unaligned with the quality of the products.

[@AbbyliciouzChannel]

Dacob!!! You are soo articulate!! I always write down 3 or 4 new words from your video! It helps because English is my third language.

[@SuperDacob]

Thank you so much Abbylicious! More videos are on the way and I will be livestreaming on my channel tomorrow too. Everybody is invited to join the party!

[@ejm6460]

Well listen to the words and look them up but you shouldn't take his application as appropriate. He knows words but not necessarily their usage

[@lindzexposure9347]

I cannot WAIT to see what Mom gifted you for the holiday! Also, love, love, love! the way you’ve formatted your videos with the audience participation.

[@SuperDacob]

Hey Lindz, I shot this video a bit before New Years, so the gifts arrived and have already been unboxed by me in other two videos, to which I posted the links to in the card section in this video ;)

[@lindzexposure9347]

@@SuperDacob oh geez, I’m behind! Lol! Usually YT is pretty good at keeping your videos current in my feed, and I watch as soon as I see them (you’re in my Top 5 ;) but I’ve missed 2?! Unacceptable! But at the same time.... what a treat! I’m going to watch them over coffee and breakfast. ❤️

[@SuperDacob]

Have you turned on notifications for my channel? Perhaps thats the reason why KZbin doesn''t notify each time properly?

[@cathyle-roux9648]

I got my first Chanel 30 years ago. Lately I have been looking for a classic and can’t understand the price increase twice within a few months. Might as well save it a bit more for an Hermès. New subscriber to you 😍

[@SuperDacob]

Thank you for subscribing to my channel Cathy and welcome to the fashion bunker!

[@TheAgeTraveller]

Congrats for your insight about how Virginie is turning Chanel more "Chanel". Zeitgeist after all, Karl was needed to bring brand back to heights, Virginie is now needed to keep it relevant and save it from diluting in empty growth. In eras of confusion time is of the essence.

[@SuperDacob]

Your comment is very well written and extremely well put! Thank you for that! Could not have said it better myself.

[@caleb.b.t]

Happy Friday and a nice notification to receive as I do morning YT binge... 🙂 Dacob, I’m quite excited for you to be purchasing more of Chanel’s ready-to-wear! It truly is the most special part of the brand and the service is amazing. I do really love seeing fellow Chanel boy lovers with their Chanel clothes.. And I love to see you styling it as we are different sizes so it’s nice to see variety!! if was not so shy I’d love to display my collection out there but I prefer to watch people like you with the charisma 😍

[@SuperDacob]

Thank you Caleb! Yes, since Virginie started designing for CHANEL, I am more interested in their clothes. See you in tomorrow's livestream! A lot of topics to cover! ;)

[@mk1642]

Well said Caleb! You literally took the words out of my mouth since I was going to leave the exact same comment! I am also thrilled each time I find out a fellow Chanel dude lover in social medias. Just like you, I am too shy to show myself in there. I am also fascinated to see we all have a different appropriation of their prêt à porter. And I am so excited to have the livestream earlier this Saturday, coz it is always a struggle for me as for the other European viewers, to stay awake all night long and focused on what Dacob says.

[@caleb.b.t]

@@mk1642 well I am shy to orate on KZbin or something 😅 I post some of my goodies on my Instagram sometimes, though 🙂 Do you have any pieces of ready-to-wear from the 2000s? That decade is some of my favorite collections from Karl for Chanel (plus 2010 collection shown in Shanghai for a non proper “2000s” year) but unfortunately being just a kid during those times I didn’t have any business at Chanel 😂

[@mk1642]

@@caleb.b.t yes, I do own some pieces from the 2000s such as a men’s cardigan from métiers d’art Paris Monte Carlo, some pieces from Paris Moscou, a jacket from the Shanghai collection, a duffle coat from the mid 2000s... Yes, KL’s designs were interesting in the 2000s though not his very best. I indeed find he had really upped his game starting from Paris Moscow collection. I happen to like all the métiers d’art collections since then, Mumbai/ Édimbourg/ byzance being my absolute favorites. But I am totally biased since I’ve always been a huge fan of historical/ on stage costumes and ethnical fashion. So, those two categories mixed with Chanel’s codes= absolute dream for me!!!

[@P0SHED]

Im looking forward to the new items Dacob!!!

[@SuperDacob]

I posted the link to their unboxings in the card sections of this video dear.

[@jordanestrada8817]

Karl Lagerfeld’s 90’s era for Chanel will always be my absolute favorite. It is definitely still iconic even today, especially since the 90’s fashion has returned. However, I really love what Virginie Viard has done with Chanel. It feels very timeless much like Coco herself. I do believe this is a new beginning for Chanel and I am looking forward to seeing what else Virginie Viard brings to Chanel.

[@maramananua9686]

Hi Dacob!great job👍👍

[@SuperDacob]

Thank you!

Same my fav Chanel Reissue so beautiful luxurious unique one of kind.

[@micheledavis3735]

I cannot tell you how much I enjoy and appreciate your videos, style, personality, kindness, sense of humour…to name a few things! Lol. I’ll admit, I love bags too but my extravagant bags are much less impressive than yours…I saved to get my Coaches, Mulberry’s, Alexander Wang…(now that I know he’s a bad guy, I rethink that bag!) but it’s ok. I still love mine as I save for a Chanel or a Louis but not the original leather Louis, a newer version or an MCM backpack or Mille bag…in pink! Lol. Im happy with my baby bags because I have you and the other amazing handbaggers to live vicariously through! Thank you, Dakob. It’s embarrassing to tell you my brands, knowing the bags you collect, but I feel you’re a safe person to tell! Never lose sight of your bliss... 💗💗💗

[@SuperDacob]

Thank you so much Michele. And yes, we all share our passions here on my channel with no fear. Coach has some fantastic leather and many of my friends love Coach and especially vintage Coach bags where the leather is very robust. I need to look into what Wang did exactly. I am out of the loop on that story...

[@micheledavis3735]

@@SuperDacob from the things I heard, it’s much like the things Harvey Weinstein and so many other repulsive wretches have done…like the “Me Too” victims but I don’t ow the whole story yet. Peace to you, in all you do...

[@josiegomz2350]

My first perfume fragrance was Chanel Coco EDP I purchased in Duane Reade in NYC it was kept locked up. I still have it & the scent smells identical to the ones now but better in longevity the bottle is made of crystal I saved up & paid my hard earn money @ the time I think it was $80 or $90 for a tiny beautiful bottle. Happy New Year! 🎊

[@themssalt]

Hi Dacob, love your videos and your passion to Chanel is infectious. I was very disappointed in the brand for multiple reasons, many of which you touched upon in this video. But your videos revived my love and interest in the brand. I bought a 2.55 after watching your video and I love it. I also love Chanel 19, but couldn’t justify the price. Any thoughts on Chanel 19?

[@besma2627]

Honestly I’d rather get a nice quality leather bag in the same style at this point.The classic flap in medium is not worth more than two grand for me. You’re really not getting a lot of bag for your money. Ysl is the best quality for your money you can get in the market. Depends on what you’re willing to compromise I guess.

[@sonyastambaugh5781]

I so agree with you.i just bought chanel classic bag so disappointed decreased quality comparing increasing the price.recently I bought SAINT LAURANT bag.quality are better look so polished than chanel.i am returning chanel and i am happy with my decision

[@luxebeauty5706]

I've always been that way about clothes. Give me one designer coat over 4 from the knock offs. The Trendy bag hasn't gone up in price, and they just released an all silver, so I am adding that one. All I wear is silver and black.

[@MoniqueSinha]

Yesss, quality over quantity. I’m also focusing more on rtw and other departments because how many bags can someone have anyway. It’s more special to get rtw from Chanel instead of 100 Zara crap. And chanel does have sales which helps. I can’t watch so many youtubers that buy so many designer bags and slg, and then buys clothes at H&M of ASOS.

[@SuperDacob]

Thats a really good point: "how many bags can someone have anyway". At a certain point you cannot wear them all anymore because there is not enough time even if they are all on rotation. LOL.

[@admenocal]

I feel the same way. The bag prices are extortionate especially considering the quality. Once the flap bag went above 6k test was it for me, I will purchase used or maybe something very special.

[@katereading7824]

nice video! my daughter and i love listening to you. and she’s 7. haha ☺️

[@SuperDacob]

Thank you so much Kate! Lots of love to you and your daughter!

[@Expatinmymotherland]

Both quality and service are appalling. I bought the 21p rose pink caviar medium classic flap, the bag I received direct from the boutique had GLUE on the back of it, stitching was uneven, huge scratch on the hardware. Cannot believe the audacity they had to send such a poor quality bag out to a customer or how it passed quality control. When I emailed Chanel with the pictures, no acknowledgement of their fault or error, just a sorry to hear about your experience, and offer to pick the bag up 3 days later. Not to mention the follow up email to say the bag will be inspected upon return before they can issue the refund :(

[@Dwightinho56]

Your jacket is great. If it’s end of Chanel it must be because they price themselves out of the market!

[@SuperDacob]

Thank you. Its a Versace jacket from the nineties 🥰🙏🏻🌈

[@petar0016]

I think that if Chanel continues to take care of the dna-heritage of the brand it will always be an evergreen, I don't doubt about that. Virginie is just great in fact she had an incredible master. What today I wonder is that N°5 is turning 100 this year, some gossip about it maybe? Special editions or something?

[@victoriae9837]

I love to listen to this precious man and I wish I had purchased a LV BAG WHEN I HAD THE MONEY BEFORE I HAD MY TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY IN 2003 and died 5 minutes. I did have Chanel loafers and their quality was nice I purchased in 2000. I gave them to my daughter in law in 2014 ugh she still does not like me. I do not have Chanel clothes nor a bag. Now it’s too late being on disability but I still wear high end cosmetics and I love that YSL BY TERRY CHARLOTTE TILBURY I LOVE THEY DO PUT THEIR COSMETICS ON SALE AND I AM HAPPY THESE HIGH END COSMETICS DUE PUT THEIR COSMETICS ON SALE. I always adored Chanel way too much. But I am ok without Chanel but I would love a BIG HANDBAG I NEED A BEAUTIFUL BIG HANDBAG AND I LOVE TED BAKER LONDON I WONDER WHAT YOU THINK OF TED BAKER?
