Hello beauties! Yo date! After filming this video I found out that the descendants of the Jewish family might still own a portion of Chanel since they were able to get it back through the Christian French man who helped them during ww2! I am not sure how much of the company they still own, and it appears that it might only be part of the fragrance line, not the entire brand, but it’s something I still have to look into! There is also some dark history in regards to Carl Lagerfield, and other people who have tried to build back the Chanel brand. Just wanted to keep everyone updated and if you have more information with sources, please cite them and let me know!
Btw it makes no sense that they would only test things on men wouldn’t u test on men and women to make sure the product works for anyone? Lol I find that very interesting
GREAT VIDEO!
Great video. Karl is with a K lol.
Keep deep diving!💖
I don’t think it would have much on an impact on the company. Look at Disney! Walt was a virulent anti-semi and races and Nazi sympathizer. Disney is just fine.
That notwithstanding, I was today years old when I found out Chanel was a Nazi. Nope
I’m middle class and ain’t no way I’m paying $800 for skin care. I already think my CeraVe and my foundation are expensive enough. Lol
Exactly. It’s not the brands fault if people are stupid with their money. Lol
Ha! I'm with you on that!
maybe you aren't middle class, I'd say middle class is 40,000+ wage from just you alone not combined with a spouse.
@@ElkahJones Yes but depending on your other expenses (maybe they got a nice place with pricier rent) an $800 skincare line is gonna be expensive. If your choice place to splurge is skincare it's still expensive but that's where you're deciding to spend that extra income. Just because you can afford smthg doesn't mean it isn't expensive lol, at least the way I view it expensive is relative to what the baseline price for products of similar quality.
I feel like the middle class is disappearing. It’s more lower class then jumps to higher class
The Wertheimer family owns all of Chanel, not just the fragrance line.
Chanel has been managed by Gerard and Alain, Pierre Wertheimer's grandsons, since 1974. They were also the ones who decided to hire the late Karl Lagerfeld as designer/creative director.
I live in Paris and I just want to point out that most people don't carry Chanel bags or walk around in Louboutin shoes :) These luxury brands sell mostly to tourists who think they're going to look Parisian and chic.
What brands do yall wear then. Please spill! Want to know where to buy true well designed high quality, artisan goods 👍
F
True.....and in France we don't use Chanel skincare either...there are some many good pharmacy brands like Avène and Vichy.
@@eps3154 Delvaux and Moynat offer better quality than Chanel and are cheaper (still expensive though).
@@bethje30 ah... but Vichy is L'Orèal....another scandal ...ingredients in Vichy are not fabulous...I think even microplastic....not sure about Avene if belongs to Loreal.
Just a note that I believe the Breakfast at Tiffany’s dress was actually by Givenchy, not Chanel. On Chanel, I cannot believe they are putting the prices up for their bags when their gold hardware is only gold plated and no longer solid gold. So it’ll just chip off eventually meaning that you could spend 4 grand on a bag that doesn’t even have solid gold…
Exact, it was Givenchy! Inspired by the black dress that Chanel popularized
It was from Hubert de Givenchy back then designed by her friend Audrey Hepburn.
It was never solid gold it was actually heavily 24k Gold plated but now is only gold tone metals that rust off very quick . I own several 90s Chanel pieces from bags to ready to wear the quality than was out of this world compared to today is not even close for all those insane prices and bad qualities😌
All the costume for the film was Givenchy
Ahh yes… Chanel. That is one brand I would not waste money on. I remember being gifted a beautiful Chanel wallet as a birthday gift, I returned it to the Chanel store, received a gift card and gifted that card to one of friends who is obsessed with EVERYTHING Chanel.
I started doing research on top designers and Chanel has a terrible history.
Thanks for covering this Cass
The CEO of Chanel now is an Indian woman
@@ameliarose9519 did you watch the video
@@ameliarose9519 Good for her but how it changes the nature of luxury brands?
@@ameliarose9519 it changes absolutely nothing of their terrible history. I also hate the fact that these designers to everything in their power to try and erase history, it’s horrible
But someone had gifted it to you for your birthday:'(
Tea facts 🍵: Black tea is oxidized, not fermented. Pu’reh tea is fermented.
Oolong tea is partially oxidized and lies somewhere between black and green tea in flavor.
Matcha tea leaves are stone ground into a fine powder.
White tea is harvested early in the growing process and minimally oxidized - that is what I’d call baby tea.
Thank you fellow tea nerd! I knew most of this but you've laid it out super clearly for me to explain for others!
Didn't know that about Pu'erh, so thank you, but how would you classify Lapsang Souchong?
I know it's the final pick of the season, and is dried over a fire of pine, which gives it the smokey flavour. I just can't figure if I should class it as green or black tea.
And all these are made from the same camelia sinensis plant?
Thank you for this. 😊
A lot of brands have a dark history. I worked for Audi for several years and during a company training class. a colleague from another dealership mentioned that a client brought up the company’s history of Nazi collaboration, and unlike BMW, Audi has never publicly apologized . The Audi instructor just shrugged it off and said “own it” True story.
Even Disney has its dark side....
@@AkademiKorolev yeah. I was just shocked at the “own it” Audi has its own in house instructors, they don’t hire consultants to teach their corporate ethos…so I was honestly put off and glad to leave the company.
Because they’re made of people and people are not perfect.
@@CarriedAwayChannel of course not but “owning” a Nazi history…when my great grandmother was a Jew…no thanks.
I find the "own it" comment a tad inappropriate. But if the brand is no longer the way it was let's say 100 years ago and their owners/workers don't adhere to some questionable idiology (i.e. the founder is very possibly dead now🙃), then I honestly don't see why anyone would have to actually apologize for someone who is either already dead or doesn't own the company anymore. Some of these brands' history is unfortunate for sure, but as long as they aren't like that anymore then I don't see the big deal. Mistakes were made, they moved on, learned from them, and became better. That's what matters.
I'm glad you're calling out these "luxury" brands. Keep exposing them for what they are, money-grabbing scams. Brand names are just to show off, companies know this and make a profit selling cheap product. I myself have wasted over $1000 every year on luxury brands just for the name when I could have gotten something less expensive that was just as great, if not better.
I took some French classes back in college a few years ago, and we spent a while discussing the morality of French fashion - my professor was actually French - and used media and documented evidence from France as a basis for the discussions. As an American it's really interesting to hear the exact same information being told from an American perspective/tone of history and actually hearing the difference in delivery. Honestly wild. I'd really like to see more of this
You could be a special guest telling this story on bailey sarian’s dark history podcast
I was using Chanel skincare in the early 2000’s. It wasn’t worth the money. But, it’s nothing new.
I’m going to start with I worked for Chanel Beauty for almost 3 years, which is where I am getting a lot of my info. First, I am not saying none of this is true, or that I condone anything that the woman did, I haven’t bought any of the product since I left two years ago actually for a lot of the reasons brought up in this video. BUT!! Chanel didn’t just decide to start making skincare! They’ve been doing it for almost 100 years. Yes, some luxury fashion houses have only done lines lately…….Chanel just isn’t one of them. 1927 was when the first skincare came out. They have three large labs where they employ hundreds of scientists to work on their skincare brand that have been around for decades. Do they over fragrance and over price most of the products, for sure. But, they aren’t just starting out all of a sudden. Okay, thank you I just needed to get that misinformation out of the way or I was going to explode lol.
Edit:Spelling
I wish she wouldn't make vids on things she doesn't know about lol...
@@Momo-oz4ek or just do better research, I would take either lol
@@Momo-oz4ek She is biased, about everything she talks about. Why would she do research? She has an agenda and research will just ruin it. I HATE HOW SKINFLUENCERS THINK that they started skincare.
@@lerdidizi Dude if you're that upset about not having correct information, just do the research yourself. Always fact-check things you hear on any platform. Why you gotta be hating? She got about almost everything right besides the fact that the company has been selling skin care products for a while. Even so, I don't see how knowing that makes anything better. I still wouldn't buy anything from them, the price of their products isn't worth it when you can find an even better product FOR LESS and it actually does something good :/
Yes, Thank you! This video is too biased. I don't really care about what Coco Chanel did. She's dead so I don't care. The WWII has its share of "crusty" stories. Nevertheless, we are now in 2022 and I will not judge a brand based on what someone did more than 50 years ago. Today's owners should be respected for what they are and what they did themselves. Today's Chanel bags are beautiful but so overpriced for their quality. Same with their line of clothing. Their skincare though is great if you don't have many skin problems.
Also Chanel is NOT for those who want to look rich. It's for those who want to look rich AND are rich. Have you seen the prices? I mean several K for a dress?
If Cassandra or others bought a Chanel bag on credit, they're just crazy. You don't look rich when you buy Chanel and wear, let's say Zara clothes. You just look stupid. That's not any brand's fault!
Chanel seems like a horrible person and I wouldn't buy anything of her brand ever. But as a European I would like to just remind everyone that it's hard to find a brand that wasn't involved with the nazis or soviets during ww2. People didn't have any choice, they did what they had to do to survive and said things that the higher ups wanted to hear. History isn't so black and white. Also, corsets or stays were not the devil, they were very comfortable because they were custom made to each person (as were all clothes) and not tightlaced in everyday wear. It was a supportive garment like a bra. And if you say that the bra is also really uncomfortable then you might be wearing the wrong size and shape bra (A Bra That Fits on Reddit really helps).
Yup totally
Cassandra please do a video about why luxury brands are aimed at us poor scrubs! I had no idea. Love this channel (and now not so much Chanel!)
She talks about it in the video
A fancy evening gown may not be affordable. But a perfume with the logo "coveted" by wo many? An overpriced compact? That is available to white a few people.
I've read every available biography of Coco Chanel. This should be interesting. If I recall correctly, one of the reasons for Churchill's interests in Chanel is that she shared a Nazi acquaintance with Wallis Simpson and King Edward the Eighth.
I don't buy luxury designer beauty products because I've always found it insulting and cynical that these designers are coming for the pennies of the lower income people who can't afford their clothing designs.
One correction: Coco did not create perfume herself. Her talent lied with fashion, as you said. Perfumes Ernest Beaux was the one who created Chanel no.5.
Correct. And the bottle was yes inspired by the whiskey bottle but not the reason to create the perfume.
Women were still wearing shape wear with those straight shaped, looser dresses. Corsets and shape wear shouldn’t be uncomfortable. Modern (men’s) interpretations of shape wear has misrepresented what it is and was.
Just a note that the camélia has been a symbol for the house of Chanel for a long time, so that's likely the choice for making it their star ingredient in the revamped skincare line. In any case, thanks for talking about the dark history of Chanel and also continuing to share information about needlessly inflated costs in the skincare industry
I think it is very interesting to see different perspectives of generations.
See-
My grandma was a poor village girl in Mexico and at her prime she had 4 businesses all by herself raising my mom when she was 50.
When I was a kid, I always saw her wearing Chanel #5 perfume and powder. She told me she dreamt of wearing Chanel's products as a young lady in her 20s, and could never afford.
She never knew of the history since she was always working and of course back at in 1950s Mexico, she didnt have a TV until age 25 and rarely read newspapers.
Now as her granddaughter, I remember Chanel as my grandma's go-to brand, but I am personally not a fan. I knew of Chanel''s dark past since 2 years ago, and that has turned me off naturally, but the leftover chanel products used by my grandma are in the ofrenda when Day of the Death comes around. :) te quiero mi abuelita
What about your countrys dark side?! Were you angels? How did the Aztecs worship? Oh wait... making human sacrifice in honor of Gods... ooops. You are so right. I am never going to buy anything from Mexico, too negative... Because of your dark past, it turns me off big time...
@@frederika3013 You cannot compare the past of one my ancestors' to Coco Chanel's brand. For your information, a very few people in the Aztec Empire performed human sacrifice- the highest shamans only because they were trained. The rest of the population had their own trades and jobs. Hence, I respectfully disagree with your statement.
Now, I find it very unfair for you to compare a AN ENTIRE CULTURE against ONE person.
I never said anything about culture. All I am saying its this specific one INDIVIDUAL, the Coco Chanel is the one I wont. Please, this isn't a country vs country argument. YOU brought my ancestors into this.
I will not lower myself for you. If you dont like my culture, no need to comment negativity on it.
@@frederika3013 Ah yes, the mature and appropriate rebuttal to criticisms towards a specific person: factually inaccurate and presumptive racism. 👍
@@taopanda98 not really. You are judging people today that have absolutely nothing to do with what happened almost hundred years ago. So I was just giving you an example. I could also give many other examples regarding how your treating your own people in your country.
@@frederika3013 how do you go from the dark history of a DESIGNER to a whole ass culture? How INSULTING!
That would be like me bringing America into this for destroying Indigenous people, to stealing slaves and bringing them here to work for free, to forcing a civil war. But alas, we are not talking about other countries’ dark histories, we are talking about DESIGNER brands and their dark histories 🙄🙄🙄
Chanel has had skin care for a long time. I remember trying a sample of a night serum. It was so heavily fragranced that I had to wash it off after 5 minutes and I usually don’t have an issue.
Chanel has had skincare since 1927
And tons of alcohol
I used to be a makeup artist for Chanel and even though it was glamorous, I knew the products were overpriced and didn't live up to the hype. I loved the lipsticks and the eyeshadows were beautiful. We were supposed to put everything on the client and then assume they were going to buy it all and have it rung up without even asking if they wanted to buy it. I couldn't railroad people into buying g products I didn't believe in so I was eventually fired.
If you’re going to talk about tea…please get your facts straight.
Your info is wrong, wrong, wrong.
If you’re wondering who’s buying the Chanel advent calendars, I work in the entertainment industry & I saw those routinely given as gifts - sent out or distributed at certain industry parties & events (and likely written off as business expenses). Now, who the heck is buying Chanel skincare? Please investigate, Cassandra! 😀
Cassandra, i love your videos...i've been meaning to try some Natura Bisse products, are they really worth the price?
Chanel said every woman should remove one item from her outfit before going out of home. Schiapparelli said a woman should always add an item to her outfit! W Schiapparelli, a very interesting, free, and better person. Chanel was the brand of 'good, clean-looking girls', on the surface. Schiapparelli was disruptive, shockingly free self-expression.
I’m sorry when Chanel make fashion it’s very innovative and provocative
Your best video yet, Cassie. I found out about Coco’s background about 5 years ago. I was heartbroken. Though I never had any of her fashion, I love Chanel #5. Once I learned about her, I put my what remained of my perfume bottle in a drawer, where it will stay. My father liberated Dachau during WWII. Even though Coco is long gone, there is no way I would support a company founded by her, especially a company that has done its best to bury her past. Thanks again for the great content.
The nazis killed 16 members of my family ages 8 months to 74 yo... just shot all of them. And this is not counting those who perished at the frontline. Thank you to your father...
This was fascinating I would love more videos with history and psychology themes. Love your channel xx
Ohhh ok, skincare and dark history, let's go! Let's make this a series cause it's super interesting to know the histroy behind these brands. I know Cass has done other videos on other brands but I would love a part series on these brands.
This is very well done! Awesome! This type of content is where you distinguish your channel and really shine a head and shoulders above the other skinfluencers that i watch. This is the day when I went from subscriber to fan. Thank you for this!
This video is breathtaking and so in depth!
Thank you for educating us with this knowledge and history, and for reminding us once again, that luxury brands are just luxury brands, with a fancy name slapped on our day to day items!
It’s hard to avoid the luxury pull sometimes. I don’t think many of these luxury brands treat their customers right especially Chanel and Hermes.
Nice to know Coco Chanel was one of the reasons people started tanning. That’s how my dad died. That’s interesting though. Like I’ve thought about that before like why and when and who started this tanning thing. It’s funny how in previous eras that we wanted to pale and they’d powder their faces silly.
it's been around before her- she cannot take credit for that in the least.
Being pale was the beauty standard cause it means you were rich living inside your house and didn’t had to work in the field like the “poor” people. Now, if you are tan it means you have the money and a lot of time to go on vacation and do nothing on the beach instead of work in a office. (Sorry about my English :( )
@@p.8053 Exactly
The tanning era happened after world war 2 when taking a plane for vacation became accessible.
@@p.8053 Did not HAVE to* (second verb is always in the base form). You need to correct that mistake or you will make it forever. 👍👍😊
Wow, this was so interesting!! And it starts a really important conversation about putting your money where your morals are. I love these long form vids, this was such a good one! Thank you
Totally agree! I've never been one for designer brands. Now i know I'm really not missing anything. That Chanel calendar was the pits!
The Little Black Dress was just the uniform weared by the girls on the "poor side" of the orphanage where her mom left her after her father disappeared. Also the short hair they were forced to get cut. The "rich side" of Auvergne was an upper class lady' s school with beautiful outfit and looooong braids. The poor girls did all the house work for the rich ones. *All the iconography and symbols can be founded there, from the logo till the jewellery designs* She just projected her trauma as a psychological defense and made the childhood aesthetics she hated become a trend as a inner revenge*
Gabrielle NEVER put a finger on that angelic creature called Audrey Hepburn. Givenchy was her designer and more than a friend, a brother, a father who stayed with her literally till the last second💖 The level or true pure love that Gabrielle never experienced...
Im French and even in France not many people are aware of the nazi connection of Coco Chanel. They recently made a documentary about the life of 2 women who chose diferent path: coco and josephine baker, who is a resistant icon in France, and just entered in the Pantheon:a cementery for national heroes. Thanks for exposing this story.
I Would LOVE to watch a deep dive on Chanel as a brand
What a truthful video ❤ loved every minute of it. Thank you so much for your wisdom and every information
can we edit out the audrey hepburn stuff? that dress was not chanel. it was hubert de givenchy
Miss it's midnight here, but that's not gonna stop me from watching this video
Cassandra, thank you very much for this excellent video. It is so informative. Turn and learn!🧡
Loved the video! One thing I wanted to add because you mentioned that it's not made for rich/aristocrats anymore. Chanel is raising their handbags prices by an insane amount each year in an attempt to become unaffordable for the average consumer. Also, they have a limit to how many designs you can buy.
That's definitely a clear attempt to keep this as exclusive as possible.
Your work on you tube is outstanding. Give your enlightenment, it is needed!!
This video ist the most educational and well done makeup video than i've saw in a long time...i would like to see this kind of video turning into a series!!!
I love the videos you do that show the history behind brands. Looking forward to more!☺️
Yes!! I love these deep dives into brands, thank-you so much for all your hard work to make these informative videos for skintolections to learn
I’m glad you talked about this in full because I saw this on your Instagram and was intrigued about the story I’m so glad we have you to be a big sister so thanks.
Fun fact: in Japan they use the oil of Camelia japonica for maintaining knives and weapons. It's a good oil against corrosion.
Maybe another option for using the Chanel products is polishing your good kitchen knives😂😂
Savage!!!! The shade😄😄😄
In east asian cultures in general camelia oil was used to moisturize the hair and in their lip tints too you know
Thank you for covering this! It’s shocks me how many people don’t know this dark history behind Chanel! A lot of Parisians will not wear Chanel and it was very unpopular there after WWII.
I love how you told the story of Gabrielle. But I have one critique. Victorian corsets and dresses were quite comfortable, only the most fashionable had the idea to tightlace, and that is definitely uncomfortable.
You are right ! It's a big misconception that people still think
Thank you! I cringed a little at that, corset bashing still runs rampant unfortunately.
Lol
I was looking for this comment. I don't understand the misinformation surrounding corsets, they were simply undergarments used to achieve the silhouette in fashion at tbe time, they were custom made for good fit and comfort, otherwise why would women want to wear them for so long?
Agreed. If worn correctly, Victorian era corsets were quite comfortable.
I loved this video! Thank you for always being spontaneous and straight forward Cassandra! I had no idea there was such a dark side in Gabrielle Chanel's life story...
This was no fascinating, i had no idea about any of this! Pls continue doing exposes like this Cass! you're amazing
Thank you for sharing such a powerful insight into a brand who is exploiting insecurity to gain its fortune. Many influencers would promote a brand for gain. But Cassandra continuously uses her platform to promote empowerment of the individual. Her work gives all people, regardless of their income, access to affordable and genuine skincare. Much respect and gratitude!
This was soooo interesting! I hopw you do more history videos in the future!
You're amazing Cassandra...I love your no BS channel. Thanks for thi video
YES! Thank you for bringing so much light over this very dark topic. PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW WHAT THEY’RE SUPPORTING
I absolutely love videos like this so much and when I saw that you made one I was so excited to watch it and I'm not disappointed. This was so informative and entertaining and it would be so fun if you did more.
Would love to see videos on "luxury" brands! This was super informative!
This is the first I’m hearing about this. Thank you so much for sharing! It’s what people should know!
Love that you break down the ingredients and explain why it is not worth it!❤️
I am so happy you mentioned @Alexandria Ryan and her incredibly funny advent calendar video’s!
Wow ty Cassandra, I really enjoyed and loved your incredible research, hope to see more of it!😍❤️
🖕 You're among the luckiest winner for my giveaway kindly Dm 🖕
I'm living for the hitler w the Chanel bag 😭🤌
We all are!!!🖤
Chanel is owned by a Jewish family. Many were forced to do collab with Nazis at that time. She most probably didn't want to lose her business, so she most probably did everything possible to play both sided. We don't know what really happened do we?
Cassandra! I am a huge fan. I just discovered your channel few weeks ago and I have learned so much! You have great knowledge -your research is incredible & You deliver info quickly & I appreciate that & you ! Thank you. I absolutely love this video & the history. I would love to see more history on brands. Although history can sometimes be painful, it IS part of history. It is part of evolving, learning, and where we take it from here. I have traveled all over the world and explored many different skin products; from India (where I learned -the hard way- through experience not to mix certain products together (ouch!) To Korea, Japan , London, Paris- and so on. Maybe 30 years ago in Japan I recall going to the 100 Yen ($1)store and finding a product that was amazing!! To this day I don't recall what it was but I wasn't as in tune to ingredients as I am now! It's just appalling when I see brands that rake you over the coal for the 'Brand name' . Ugh.
I believe you hit the nail on the head in a previous video- Japan is going to Deliver this year or next.
I would like to ask if you could do research on Moringa Oleifera ( not sure if you have touched on it yet in any videos , if so maybe you can direct me to it). I discovered it in Manilla 3 or 4 years ago in a product I purchased and I love it. But I would like your perspective & opinion on it. Thanks for all you do . :)
LOL. Chanel made it appear that they were the ones who discovered camellia but Japan has been using tsubaki (camellia japonica) for skin and hair care for hundreds of years.
Yessss I loved this so much! Please do more videos on these bizarre histories hahaha ♥️
Thank you Cassandra for always spreading truths out there and exposing the beauty industry, I love your videos because I always learn something new, keep up your amazing work
This is so well done! Good job Cassandra!
Such a great video. I've watched through and through without break. I didn't know all of that about Miss Coco Chanel. You know do a brand history I love learning about it!
Cass I'd love a deep dive into the Chanel Sublimage line. It's their most expensive line and I have no idea why some serums are 700 USD+++
I did not expect an actual history lesson but I'm 100% here for it!
Hey Cassandra! I actually use many of the Chanel premium skincare line. Could you actually do a video if these are worth the price tag based on their ingredients 🤔 I'm very curious now if I'm wasting my money lol :
- SUBLIMAGE L'EXTRAIT Intensive Restoring Treatment
-SUBLIMAGE LES GRAINS DE VANILLE
Purifying and Radiance-Revealing Vanilla Seed Face Scrub
-SUBLIMAGE MASQUE
Essential Regenerating Mask
I would love to see a video about luxury brands, and how they're really made and marketed to the middle and lower classes! I find consumer psychology and marketing absolutely fascinating, and you do such great research and education, in a really engaging and entertaining way; it'd be a wonderful video coming from you!
Absolutely fascinating to hear Cass!
Thank you. For this information. I look forward to more. Love your channel.
Thank you Cassandra for this very informative video!
Love this! I never knew this about the brand, and it is educational and really shows what CoCo is made of. Also puts all their items in perspective. Really thankful for your video 🥰❤️🥰
Your way of explaining really burns the information into my brain I wish you were my chemistry teacher
I have to add that glass really is better for the environment🙃 not every brand that packages things in glass is fishing for costumers
Wow 😮 thanks for sharing that great info I had no idea about … and I love the fact that you keep it real 😘
I would love to see more content like this delving in to the dark origins of various (especially luxury) brands.
Same!!
More skincare and beauty history please! ❤
Yay 👏 Thank you, Thank you for this review 😁 love you!
I LOVE these deep dive videos so much!
This was an informative, excellent video. Thank you, Cassandra ❤
Definitely would like you to dive in into more history of Chanel and consumerism.. that’s 👌🏼 Thanks for the video! Was looking into it ... now ❌
Excellent video Cassandra, love it! Eye opener 😳
Wow so happy you did this video, I had no clue!
Loved this style of video! Please do more like this!!! ❤
Loved this, more history of brand videos please 🤍
It's ironic to me now that you said Chanel likes to sell to the middle class, bc when I saw this line in Ulta I was thinking that it's weird that it's there and not Sephora. And now it makes sense lol
Has absolutely nothing to do with the it….
Thanks for putting together this video, I've never been a fan of Chanel (I don't even like their fragrances) but I learned a lot. A couple things about the video did bug me though. 1) The focus on Chanel's affairs to "get what she wanted" sounds a lot like the tired stereotype of women sleeping their way to the top, and portraying it that way seemed really off-brand for Cass. The evidence seems pretty clear, but I think it could have been shared in a better way. 2) Saying a designer house doesn't know anything about skincare seems kind of hollow since we all know they've had to team up with cosmetic chemists etc to make all this stuff. That being said, I still appreciate the video and I've been waiting for someone to shit on this overly expensive launch so that you for that lol
i also didn't like the way she talked about her affairs. being a sexual person is not evil
Rick astley is the “never going to give you up” guy 🤣🤣🤣 chuck Norris 🙃🤣🙃
You bring up a point that sticks in my mind every time I see an ad for beauty or skin products. Anymore, the first thing every brand does is tout how environmentally friendly, sustainable, responsible, cruelty free etc. that their product is. They say this while fresh faced young men and women smile and laugh. But then they say very little about how well the product works, or just use buzz words for what it is supposed to do. While responsible research and production is a must, the product still has to work. Too many brands are trying to sell solely on virtue. I could run sea salt through my blender, mix it with organic coconut oil, and put it in a glass jar I bought at a thrift store, call it a scrub and label my company as women owned, hand crafted, 100%recycled packaging, all natural, cruelty free etc. and I wouldn’t be lying.
Please do more of these! DW has a video on TH-cam called ‘behind the mirror of high end fashion’ and you will be shocked at how the poor are exploited to create the leather for these brands :( There are so many brands that are doing amazing things and who’s prices are worth it but are being overshadowed buy these (I hate the word luxury… because they are not luxury, there are just designer!) brands. Thank you so much for this video
I was waiting for this video so badly!
Great video! Very informative. Agreed, nothing wrong with Luxury, just be mindful of why you get it. Do it for you and not to impress those you hate. As long as it makes you feel happy and enjoy your life routine.
Love you Cassandra!!!🥰💕💕💕
Thank you for the information. You learn something new every day!
I believe a phrase you were describing in this video is Aspirational Marketing" ! Absolutely agree that this is the angle so many luxury brands take.
Wow!!!! I had no idea! Thank you for this video!
Lol Cassandra, you crack me up. Rick Astley sings "Never Gonna Give You Up". Chuck Norris is an actor who is known for his martial arts skills. In no way are they connected or on the same plain.
to me, the upshot here is that "natural" skincare and concern for the environment are SO POPULAR that even chanel is trying to cash in on that.
cass! which are the best caffeine products to treat dark circles??
