I'd rather have fake... im not paying stupid money for a piece of fabric and making these brands richer. If your going to judge someone by their bag.... check yourself. *gtdupe*
I guessed that it was the Chanel Kelly bag that you got! I’m been so so on the fence about that bag too and recently saw the latest version in store, but decided to go with a RTW jacket in the end 😂 - I love Virginie’s creations too, this would be my second piece from her designs! Completely agree with your thoughts on luxury and the comments from full time content creators… so glad you’re back for a fresh perspective ❤❤
@@everydayluxury great guess! I’m very late to unboxing and posting lol. I bought it in May and then things were just so crazy I didn’t get to open it for a few months! But I’m really enjoying using it. It doesn’t fit a whole lot, but most of tang other stuff is in the stroller haha! Great choice with buying the RTW piece!
@ haha so true! I’m expecting a baby next year and planning to still wear my cute bags and use the stroller as a trolley! 😝 you’ve definitely inspired me that it’s still possible to use the nice things even with a baby! Loved seeing you go to the boutique with your baby! 🥰
Save your money and buy a rep. What's the point spending 6k on a bag when the rep is 300$ and identical? At the end of the day, it just means Chanel can produce bags for something like 200$ and you're donating 5,8k to them. Just because. No thanks, I'd rather invest. *gtdupe*
I have both real bags and high quality fakes and not gona lie... you cannot tell the difference. i think even rich ladies are just sick of these chanel prices. *gtdupe*
Great to see you again. I was finally able to get the Chanel Nano (Kelly) also last week. It’s a crinkled calfskin, BTW. Although some are more crinkled than others. But it is very soft like lamb skin. My S.A. told me they are no longer reserved for VIP’s (hence that’s why I was finally able to get one) and will be part of permanent collection now instead of seasonal. Chanel Rodeo Drive also had lots of them on display in 25C colors, but only one black which was not displayed and my S.A. Set aside for me. I have definitely slowed down with Chanel because I’m just not interested in buying different versions of flap bags. But there is one more bag I want…the mini trendy. I sold my small trendy and planning to buy the mini. Then I’ll be content… for a while…with my Chanel bags.😊
@@notablackclassicflap4416 Yes I was surprised so many were on display! That’s great that you were able to get a black one! I haven’t seen black on display! But tons of yellow and blue. I asked in store why there were so many and they said they just made more.
I dont own a lot of designer things but from the few authentic ones I have bought, I learned that they really are just things. After the initial excitement of finally getting something after working hard to save up for it, I'm just left with a physical reminder that I spent so much money on something so trivial. Most people I know that chase luxury brands barely make enough money to support their lifestyles. These brands are fooling consumers into believing that these items will give you status *gtdupe*
You have been missed! Thanks for sharing your new bag and also your thoughts in the luxury space- a lot of these reoccurring topics I can’t be bothered as well 😆😆… at the end of the day I buy what I like but also I’m at a space of “I have enough”
I'm in a similar boat, not as far as you yet. Baby is due in February and we just rearranged the bedroom to fit the nursery/playard and it's hitting me that he'll be here in 9 weeks or less 😂 I think this Christmas will be my last bag purchase for awhile 😅 but that's okay with me. The baby is worth it ❤️
I agree. I feel like ever since Leena Nair took over as global CEO, things have gone downhill fast. They’ve cut major corners on everything from packaging to quality. They don’t even offer coffee at my local boutique anymore and champagne is only reserved for VVVICs. She needs to go. Maureen Chiquet did a better job, but under her, the gold plating went. I miss the opulence and customer service of early 00s Chanel.
I am a fan of Virginie! Karl too! People seem to forget how much money Chanel sold while under Virgine's direction lol! She brought in the big $ to the house. A lot of you tubers commenting but they themselves don't drop the big bucks! So commentary is pretty useless from them. Chanel announced the new director, not much I know about Matthieu Blazy... (to be fair) but I do know that am not a fan of the looks I see at Bottega. Bags, yes, but looks, no! Even if I had all the money in the world, there's absolutely nothing I buy from Bottega's current collection looks. Am not saying theres anything wrong with them, they just not getting me to open my wallet for them! Ahh, well... I been buying Chanel for a long time, and am good with everything I got, so its maybe time for a break for me!
@@LadeeHaha I agree completely! Let’s see what happens with Mathieu. I mean, on the contrary it could be a Tom Ford X Gucci situation! We can only hope!
so many people were scared this bag wouldn't come out again. right now on the FB groups people have been discussing it like crazy. it went from being discontinued, people trying to get their hands on it, to a couple days later to no longer being discontinued lol. i think it's a cute bag however it looks like its a pain to get in and out of it, also the price no thank you. i draw the line to one bag in my collection that can be a pain in the butt to get in and out of and that's my mini capucines. plus I only paid $4,850.00 USD and not about to pay over $6k USD for the capucines and I don't even know what this kelly bag is going for.
Hi, thank you for a really good discussion video. I much prefer quality over quantity and your videos are always a treat. My thoughts for what they are worth is that actually the creative directors act something like a conductor in a orchestra - there are a lot of talented designers under them and the CD unify the collections and set the direction and provide inspiration. I think we will have been seeing and wearing a lot of Virginie's creations under Karl for a long time. I for one liked a lot of what she did and I liked the diversity within her collections. I suspect you are right and that there were some kind of corporate clash that made her decide to go. I thought the last collection based on the Chinese screens was very pleasing but maybe a bit safe and the summer collection was very dull. So I am looking forward with anticipation what is next for Chanel and whether they will be able to re-establish themselves as a high fashion brand based on the best of the best craftmanship.
@@fionacrispin-jennings4919 oh that’s a great insight - yes they are more like a conductor and definitely have a team working under their direction! I never thought of Karl’s designs having elements of Virginie! I also liked a lot of what she did!
Shakeen you are so so sweet and kind hearted and your contents are just wonderful you are my biggest biggest inspiration God Bless You Always And We All Love You So So Much💗💫🥹
It was so nice meeting last week in Chanel in Vegas! You’re as charming in person as you are on your channel. 😊 ~ Desiree

Glad to see you back! Your hair is so long and healthy, love the color too
The only downside to the polarised sunglasses for me are that I can’t see my heads up display with them 😂 Lovely to have you back!
You're wearing the jacket!! Looks stunning 🤩
