The Chanel 2.55 Reissue, Classic Flap and the Lady Dior - these are all pretty “classic” and “safe” bags to buy, along with Hermes of course! But there are a few things that I think you should WAIT and evaluate/be aware of before you make your purchase. This is especially for those of you who want a ‘once in a lifetime’ bag (where you only want to buy and own one). Or even those of you who want to own just a small collection of safe, long-term investment items (financial and wearability)

I was definitely one of those living it up in the 80s. And yes, we were all about the logos. Unfortunately I was a Gucci girl and my bags did not stand the test of time. I thought that all Chanel was a bit "grannyish" back then, oh if only I had been wiser I could have had a vintage Chanel bag in my wardrobe!! By the way I checked my bags after your storage advice video and can happily report back they are all ok.

Sophie I was young, working at my first grown up job, and newly married in the 80s. Everything was possible. It was the era of the working girl. Women wore suits that came from male clothing lines like Brooks Brothers but worn with silk blouses.Handbags were just becoming a status item. You were trying to look successful but also serious. Logos were discreet compared to now.

I much prefer Dior, the experience is so different to that of Chanel. Dior boutiques are gorgeous, the experience screams luxury, and their bags are so much more chic imo. Chanel puts out the same things over and over again and the quality of their bags and constant price increases are insane. I don’t purchase my bags with the intention to sell, so resale value isn’t top of mind to me.

I started working full time in 1981 so I was out of school, really glad to see the back of that, and on the loose in the world for the first time and I had an absolute ball. The world was a very different place back then, a lot more secure. You could always be sure of getting a job because there were more jobs than people and you could walk in and out of them whenever you chose. I bought my first car and traveled a lot. It was a really fun time to be young. I loved the fashions too. Of course some were over the top and too out there for me, but I loved the pastel coloured suits, floral dresses and silk blouses. I was a teenager in the 70s which was a truely ugly era. Younger people now who say they love the 70s fashions would think very differently if they had had to live through them. Fashion as a matter of personal choice and finding your own style like people do today was completely unacceptable.back then. It was totally dictatorial. You wore what was in and if you didn’t you were labeled a dag and punished for it. Individuality was definitely not encouraged. I remember being addicted to classic movies and constantly complaining to my mother, why aren’t we allowed to wear pretty, feminine clothes anymore? Then along came Princess Diana and everything suddenly changed. People now have no idea how powerful her influence was. Pretty and feminine were back in and I really made the most of it. I became totally addicted to Laura Ashley floral dresses. They were very similar to the sort that Dolce And Gabana make now. Lilysilk make very 80s inspired blouses, they were everywhere back then. And money went so much further. I used to fill up the petrol tank in my first car for $5 and gold was worth around $100 an ounce, so most of my friends and family, and of course myself, travelled to South East Asia every year for what was a very cheap holiday and bought heaps of fine jewellery. I suppose you can tell I really loved living in the 80s.

Hello, it was interesting to read what you wrote 🙂. Can you be more specific about what exactly did you not like about the 70's fashion? I love some 70's light and flowy boho dresses, colours and florals. It has a romantic style, which is feminine. I suppose you are referring to clothes that were more hippie, out there and all over the place? Also a lot more jeans? I guess it also depends on where one lived, because styles were slightly different, unlike it is today with the internet everyone ends up being more or less the same. As for what everyone should wear and not have their own personality shown through style, I'd argue that it was like that throughout in every decade and century (I studied fashion history, this is why I'd say it's a fact). Even today, yes we can have more say about it, but overall it's still "dictated". What's interesting is that most people don't even want to find their own style 🤷🏼♀️
@suzannehall52003 жыл бұрын
Hi Karina. What I didn’t like was pretty much all of it. The huge bell bottom pants, polyester body shirts, clunky platform shoes and clogs, super mini skirts worn with knee high boots, shapeless smocks, and don’t even get me started on menswear. Watch and episode of Benny Hill or the beginning of No Sex Please We’re British on KZbin and you will get the picture. Everyone really looked that bizarre. I was so over jeans after the 70s that it’s taken until now for me to want to wear them again. I used to watch classic movies on tv and long to be allowed to wear pretty clothes but pretty was not tolerated. That would get you a beating at recess at school. Home decor was a whole education in hideousness that people wouldn’t believe now unless you had been there. It was an era that I didn’t enjoy one bit and the 80s couldn’t come soon enough.

Dior is not good with service. They basically asked me to throw my Patent Dior lady away when the handles left a mark on the patent side after a few months of storage. Was shocking as I had bought it from the very boutique I brought the bag to. Meanwhile , Chanel has repaired my accessories and replaced the hardware of some of the old 255s countless times. Damage to Chanel items was more due to rough handling ( young kids etc ) and yet, I get no questions asked when I take them back again and again. I would think the Dior issue was a manufacturer quality issue but Dior told me to throw the bag away instead 😵

You brought up some brilliant points that personally really hit home, Sophie. Love that you’re genuinely encouraging people to wait, really think about their purchase habits, and giving everyone an incredible history lesson in the process! I also don’t think that self-preserving voice in my head (when it comes to saving for a rainy day) will ever really go away b/c of how I was brought up. The ‘investment and longevity aspect’ of buying bags will inevitably influence my purchases b/c of that. Also, I do love that the 2.55 reissue in particular reads to me as understated luxury. As someone who gravitates towards utilitarian bags like Celine’s classic, Fendi’s peekaboo, and Loewe’s puzzle... I think either the 2.55 or Classic Flap feels like my jam. Adore the utilitarian compartments too!

I really agree about Chanel. I tried the Classic flap. I thought it would be a gorgeous quality piece. The leather, the quilt, ... it just looked basic. No wow factor. I also thought that you would feel special wearing such an iconic and pricey piece. Nope. Didn't happen. Definitely overrated^^ unfortunately it has become somehow tacky as "everyone" has it, including reality TV stars... On the other hand, I have a Chloe mini Marcie and every time I reach for it, I am like "this is such a beautiful piece". I love touching it because you can feel this is a quality piece.

Well said Sophie. I love both Dior and Chanel but if just for 1 in my lifetime, i will get a Chanel. But in real life i want both. Thanks for sharing.

Great video! I prefer Chanel, but have an appreciation for Dior. Chanel, LV and Hermès just have excellent resale value, particularly the classics!

The trinity are legendary for their resale value but I question the real quality of Chanel apart from the heritage and prestige of the brand.

The 255 is my favorite Chanel. I like the straight across cut on the flap, and the all chain strap.

The Chanel bag is just so much more useful and flexible - cross body, on the shoulder and tie the chain up with a ribbon, becomes a top handle bag. TheLady D is lovely as a top handle bag, but I'd only use top handle bag for church events - weddings funerals baptisms. Maybe for a graduation.

This is really random and not related to the video but the music you have on in the background sounds the same as my favorite posh restaurant we go to for special occasions. It’s made this video feel like a special girls night out...so thank you....in the weirdest way 😂❤️

I have a WOC, mini, medium double classic flap, and large classic flap all in black. Love them all, but I find I only pickup the Chanel Boy. I look at photos of myself with the large and I think it over powers me. I only own Dior earrings, and sneakers - no Dior bag. If I do, I will get preowned.

I have the Dior saddle bag and strap,. I was very hesitant to buy, trendy but I love it .
@anitarana31893 жыл бұрын
what do you think about the WOC by the way? I'm leaning towards it because I want to use it more for one thats more discrete and i'd feel more comfortable wearing it in public transport

good morning, i was thinking of buying my first chanel bag, and i would like to buy it in pre loved, but i'm afraid of being deceived, because this is not an area that i dominate. You are not thinking of selling any, I trust you, I have been following you for a long time and I see that you are honest. When you thinking off selling , remember me please.if you have any suggestions for buying that are reliable in your opinion, please tell me. this way helps your videos a lot

I eventually would love to buy a Chanel classic flap bag. I hope I can keep up with the price increases however. I'm limiting myself to 1 designer bag a year and I just purchased my lady Dior! I went into Dior just wanting to look and ended up buying a black my lady dior with a mitzah. My SA was so sweet and gave me lots of information about the brand and bag that it made me fall in love and finally pull the trigger on buying one. I love it!
