Omg so glad you got the caramel bag back, she’s stunning. And I agree with you if not always liking the worn out vintage look. I took bought a classic flap that had a lot of wear and tear and send it to the spa but after I feel like I didn’t like the feel and look of the leather anymore so I sold it , no regrets
I totally get it. As far as vintage, especially Louis Vuitton I'm over the slouching, smells, and repairs. I finally got my hands on a Cerises Pouchette for only $395 and still feel like I'm settling cause the cherries are so worn. I don't feel "proud" carrying it. The preloved market can be challenging.
I have made the shift away from vintage bags too. Now that I’ve learned how to take care of my bags, I find that many vintage bags have not been treated well. Like you mentioned, the misshapen issues are common. It also hard to clean them unless they are leather lined.
I don’t have any Chanel but a couple years ago I bought a vintage small single flap bag, which was soo small and more worn than I imagined. It was very soft leather but it was still OLD and it was $2200. I sent it back and I think I’ve learned my lesson.
Agreed the vintage bags are really going up in price; that deters me a bit from buying them; it would have to be a special piece. Your collection has changed for the better 🥰
I love your colourful collection. I have just purchased a vintage navy small double flap 😊 do you use all your bags like match them to every day outfits or are they collectables? 💙
i knooooow it really depends! Some styles you can only buy preloved (like a caviar mini for example) but even if it is preloved for me it needs to be very very good condition
You might not notice the chipping on the hardware of the newer bags because they're newer, it's to be expected that it'll be more noticeable on older bags.
I like your reasoning and decision on pre-loved Chanel bags, I also enjoy your total Chanel collection new and otherwise :) Thanks for sharing your knowledge on luxury purchases.
Unfortunately for picky me, I don't enjoy vintage anything. I only buy pre owned when the condition is excellent or as new. I wish I wasn't this way because it would be cheaper but I don't fight the feeling bc it just causes regret and resale. Loved your video Jess.
Hi Jess! I love vintage bags and I enjoy restoring them. I definitely understand the appeal of a newer bag though. I have vintage and newer classic flaps and I go back and forth on which I prefer. I wish I had known u were selling that brown vintage classic flap 🥺
I love ❤️ your collection. I prefer to bug my bags new. I have purchased 3 pre owned bags. I live the fact that you sell and buy often. Enjoyed watching
Hmm I only wish Chanel was more transparent about their restoration policy. I bought my white classic flap and black reissue from the boutique, and they told me the 5 year warranty applies to all classic/reissue bags regardless of color. They said they would restore/clean the leather of the my white bag and replace the hardware if needed. I know in writing it only mentions black bags, and I find that so odd... so it means we never have a guarantee...
@@Jessiestyle I think they will (but it may vary by boutique which is frustrating). I can't see why they would tell me they can if they can't. They would be setting people up for disappointment.
Hi Jessie I enjoy watching your videos and your love for luxury handbags. I think you should open a preloved little shop (from home) to start .. you would do well because of your passion.. that is key to success! You are young this is the time to start.
Great idea!! I dont know if i would want to be a reseller but if i had enough money i would probably start a consignmnet business. Right now Im still learning!
Vintage is not for me either. I prefer buying new from the boutique, although I’ve scored a few preloved new/excellent condition Chanel bags recently. My collection has changed so much in the last year as well. 😉
@@Jessiestyle I’ve bought and sold so much in the last 4/5 years. I’ve really tried to find what works for me and reduce my collection. So now I feel like I missed the boat on a channel. It would probably be boring now. 😉
It’s so hard to make the choice to have a bag spa’d and the. To buy a bag that’s been to the spa.. in my experience I’d have to be keeping the bag to get it spa’d in the future - I’ve had the same experience as you!
@@Jessiestyle yes same, I got my Speedy repainted and same thing about the leather texture… it’s something a lot of resellers don’t disclose either about a bag having been restored… unless you specifically ask.
I also do not like the worn out vintage look. That’s why when I buy vintage Chanel bags I only buy then in caviar. It wears so much better than the Lambskin.
Yay! Thank you for the caramel flap update! It’s such a gorgeous bag! I love my 21A caramel and wear mine all the time. I’d miss it if it was gone too :)
Omg I think I just bought your Brown classic flap on facebook haha!! Not through you obvs but another seller- it has that distinct scratch on the front
OMG Shreeya I hope you love it!!! It is an amazing classic and the hardware is on point! If i didnt have my pondicherry bag i would have kept it myslelf! You must have purchased it from my friend who sells bags as a side business!
Agreed! I don’t see the hype of the vintage bags. I understand it’s cool to know SOME bags still look great given it’s time but I’d rather wear it out myself not by someone else haha. Wondering, would you be willing to sell your yellow classic flap? If you do PLEASE CONTACT ME FIRST :)
Oh wow I’m secretly happy you got rid of those what took you so long! ☺️😂😂👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🎉🎉🎉 Your collection is so elevatedly perfect that those were beneath you daaaaaarling 💅👑🌟🕶🌹🥂💎 haha😆😆😆😆I’m cracking up! 😘😘
I think its a smart move. Yes these old bags lived through 20, 30 years but can they survive another 20? I don't like the look either they look so sad imho.. Its just a silly hype now
I also really like to sell & replace it with something new!! My favorites from your collection is the reddish/pinkish small classic flap and the yellow one (i loooove classic flaps 😂😂😂) oh and that tiny pink/blue camera bag - sooo adorable !!!
I am in love with that Caramel bag!!! If you ever sell it, sell it to me LOL I would be scared to spa a bag to be honest. I love your Chanel collection!

Right?! sometimes its worth paying a but more for one that does not need a spa

i knowwww i have been there! love the cherry pochette! I used to have one too!!!

So true! some of the cotton lined bags just get so dirty! like my pST!
@@Jessiestyle It has made me really think about lining in my bags.

Glad you have the caramel classic back. I have that bag in the jumbo size and that color in caviar is really special.
oooo!!! I love the jumbo version! looks super duarable

thanks so much kathy!
I love your colourful collection. I have just purchased a vintage navy small double flap 😊 do you use all your bags like match them to every day outfits or are they collectables? 💙
I agree with you about selling vintage Chanel’s. I would much rather buy new and sell it later and have gotten the enjoyment of a new bag myself

i can totally relate! thanks for watching!
That caramel flap is really pretty glad you got it back❤️
The vintage, preloved market is quite difficult to navigate!
it is risky!
I love chanel quilts when its puffy but when its old and flat,its not my cup of tea.
me too :(!
The carmel bag is gorgeous. Great video.
Hi Jess! I love vintage bags and I enjoy restoring them. I definitely understand the appeal of a newer bag though. I have vintage and newer classic flaps and I go back and forth on which I prefer. I wish I had known u were selling that brown vintage classic flap 🥺
im sorry sandra!! lately i have been selling things on my instagram so ill probably do that from now on if i ever sell another bag
I do prefer things to look new🌈🤗
I prefer your updated collection of 🛍 😍 ♥
Yay, thank you!
I love ❤️ your collection.

really!!! yes for now they only restore black classic bags! WHo knows what they will do in future though...hopefully they can restore more colours!

yessss i always wanted a vintage caviar mini sqaure! the dream

I totally agree! It's a great colour! Yours is defs a kepper
You have a great collection. Great taste, beautiful colors, wise choice!
Do you have a video with your yellow chanel bag? 😅💛
Hi Jess! This is Lisa who bought your balloon bag charm.
HI LISA!!!! hope you get it soon ^_^!!!
Omg I think I just bought your Brown classic flap on facebook haha!! Not through you obvs but another seller- it has that distinct scratch on the front
OMG…That is incredible….we are such a small community 🤪💙
OMG Shreeya I hope you love it!!! It is an amazing classic and the hardware is on point! If i didnt have my pondicherry bag i would have kept it myslelf! You must have purchased it from my friend who sells bags as a side business!
I did realize how long your hair is. You look really pretty with your hair down. Have a wonderful weekend!
thanks so much! Cant wait to get a hair cut ^_^
Hi Jessie ! Thank you for sharing and have a wonderful week-end 👍😉❤

For many is not about hype
Is about wanting the best quality and unique designs 😊

Yes I don’t like vintage at all. Barely watch the vintage channels.
I am in love with that Caramel bag!!! If you ever sell it, sell it to me LOL I would be scared to spa a bag to be honest. I love your Chanel collection!
