They didn’t want the “aspiring customers”, now we don’t want them. I think we have all opened our eyes to corporate greed and corruption and we deserve better than that.
After luxury brands being exposed for sweatshop factory practices, it really made me realized that they are not as special or different as those dupes and Zara.
If these brands weren’t VASTLY overpriced with mediocre quality, superfakes of very equivalent quality and materials could never be a thing; they just wouldn’t be profitable. Yet they are. 🤔
They’re so expensive I feel like a walking target when I carry mine. They priced themselves out of the market.
This really is a significant consideration. I have a cute older bag and I think yikes! What attention will I attract?
i look homeless most of the time now wearing grey sweat pants and tshirt - people wouldnt have any idea. If get dresse with my bags people comment non-stop.

Went to 31 rue cambon 3 weeks ago…..the boutique was empty…..the SA at the entrance ( he was the intermediate and greater) was lovely and eager to help me ….a bit to much …because i was planning to look around by myself before going to the parfumerie ….he was always at my back and it was intimidating….the SA at the exclusive was very friendly and he was impressed with my knowledge of the brand ( thanks to you Dacob )…..finally i choose Bois des Îles and a few compact mirrors ( for gifts)….and up with nice samples and extra bags for the gifts…oh! And a took a picture in the iconic mirrors stare’s….❤
Every time I get close, I wake up the next day, & think... I'd rather do to Thailand, like, 3 times... instead of have that purse. 🤷♀️
Congratulations on reaching your subscriber milestone, Dacob! 🥳🥳🥳
What allegedly is going on with Chanel is like your tried and true favorite restaurant where you can always get delicious and delightful food has changed. The go-to dishes don’t taste the same because the restaurant has been sold and is under new management. They’re using margarine instead of butter, they changed suppliers who provide subpar products and the original staff has been replaced with inexperienced employees that don’t give a crap about customer service. It’s very sad.
It’s giving those mall kiosk sales associates who beg you to come over and buy something and then as you don’t show interest they magically pull out discounts to get you to buy
Dacob, you are right, for me, the spark is gone. I just returned from Mexico and visited the Chanel, LV, and Hermes boutiques, me and my husband were the only customers. This echoes what I've been seeing in my local boutiques. Earlier this year I visited my local boutique in Boca Raton, FL, inside Saks, we were the only customers among about 5-6 SA's; I was looking for an SLG, and told the SA that SLG's are my weakness as I was about to leave since they didn't have the item I was looking for. His eyes lit up and put the rope across the entrance in an effort to keep me in the store. He returned to the counter and started to pull out trays upon trays of SLGs. I was so shocked to see that many SLGs available. I left without buying anything. I momentarily felt bad for the SA because they too are feeling the brunt of Chanel's greed and carelessness with how they treat their customers....anyway, I enjoyed your video, per usual 😊
My parents recently went to Italy and brought back for my sister and I, the most beautiful leather handbags with impeccable stitching and craftsmanship straight out of the street marketplace! They are unbranded and made in Italy and the quality is absolutely beautiful. Designer brands do not carry the glitz or reputation they used to, now it's all about quality and value which is no longer associated with these fashion houses.
I went to Italy, last year and this year, brought such gorgeous bags there in the shops. I have my Chanel I brought in the 90’s still fabulous today. Older viewer, would not purchase now, and no why would I cow tail to a company to buy something. Great Channel thank you .
That doesn't surprise me. Most people are obsessed with labels not quality. I found a gorgeous made in Italy bag at a thrift store one year. It had initials on it and I was googling to find out how do I 'erase' someone else's initials. So, a light bulb went off in my head and I contacted the company direct. They wanted me to send the bag back to them and they would 'erase' them and redo the gold trim on the bag! The bag was made in the late 50s to early 60s and everything on that bag was stellar! Such high quality. So, I sent them the bag and they sent it back minus the initials and new gold trim. It's so gorgeous! Better than that, no one else has one.
@@esterdrass4964please share the name of the company…I would love to go to the store.
And the shoes in Italy 😍 the unbranded shoes are phenomenal … the leather the workmanship and comfort better than and high designer shoes I own and I own a lot!
Here in Munich too, I observed the Luxury Stores are empty… Even me I’m not excited anymore to buy luxury bags😅 I’d had enough luxury bags and new prices are not exciting anymore.
For the prices going for these bags I would rather invest in gold jewellery honestly
I agree. I prefer vintage Chanel, I’m at peace with my collection the way it is right now. They haven’t come out with anything that made me want to run to Chanel and buy it. And the prices are outrageous when you compare it to the quality. Alot of people are just over it and I am one of them
You’re right Dacob. And the (lack of) quality is real. I returned a pair of ballet flats with the turn locks because of two concerns: 1) wouldn’t break in 2) the hardware would be faulty. And the next time I get a Chanel bag, it will be preloved.
And congrats on your subscriber milestone! 🎉❤
Awww! Did you get the correct size? I’ve worn their ballet flats for decades (though I usually go with some version of their classic without hardware) I’ve never had an issue. Fortunately I have an excellent cobbler who resolves them for me (that’s how long they last). Good luck on your next pair. They truly are the mot comfortable shoes I wear, plus they dress up nicely. Cheers!
It's the end of corporate luxury - mass produced with cheap labor, bad quality, sold at exorbitant prices, because we think the famous brand means quality. It used to, before the corporate owners betrayed us. Now, luxury I think its small independent brands, I know one in Singapore called Thomaswee, where every garment is made by the designer himself and 2 assistants and the pieces produced are so small in number, because they just don't have the ability to make more. I'm sure such designers/brands exist in many countries, where's there's just one shop and not available on line. Exclusivity, actual rarity and not mass produced is the new luxury. And the prices are realistic, based partly on how much it actually cost to make, because their not charging for international advertising, celebrities, magazine covers, rental space etc like corporate fashion.
Yes, that fast fashion luxury looks like the end of these big luxury labels, especially those under LVMH.
Thomas Wee is a legend in the Singapore fashion industry. He used to be more prolific but has slowed down in the last 20 years or so. I think he's also a lecturer in one of the fashion schools here.
In the late 80s my female boss did a big Far Eastern/Oceania trip of a lifetime for her 60th birthday and high on her list was to have two corporate skirt suits hand made in Singapore. They were colourful, one royal blue, the other a beautiful bright green and fitted to perfection. Her tiny 5ft frame filled the room when she wore them, she said they made her feel ten feet tall and like she could take on the world. 😊
Vintage Chanel all the way and the only way now🎉
Exactly❤️
I absolutely adore vintage fashion. It’s something that is special, and durable. It’s pretty and gives off that classy look to it. I am also looking into artisanal pieces from smaller luxury brands, making my own perfumes, and going to pre loved vintage stores. It’s the charm that has a hold on me, and I’m a sucker for pretty tchotchkes
My Chanel Sa just randomly sent me a picture of a small vanity with a handle trying to push a sale. 3400.00 for a damn slg that was 1500.00 four years ago. I just sent her back this emoji 😂😂😂 years ago these small vanity bags were sold out before hitting the selling floor. Now you can walk into any Chanel store and these slgs are sitting on display shelves. Where is all of this unsold stock going? 🤔
ooof! i love it when the haughty & arrogant are brought down low.
Maybe this Chanel story is why Chanel bought into The Row? Need a new income stream? A new shipafter the old one finally sinks?
Dacob, another fabulous vid! Love your work and congratulations on 70K 🎉❤🎉❤
I think this is also happening with LV. They keep raising their prices, quality has taken a nosedive, and the new designs they are coming out with are not anything innovative or special. Like you said same old thing all the time!
Beautiful !!!! I am happy Chanel is going down , i remember 4 years ago the hype was huge , everybody was buying trash thinking its luxury 😂😂 what a joke ! What a beautiful turnaround ! 😂
My Chanel shopping bag was unravelling after just a bit of rain, never happened before smh
If LV did the same bag over and over for years and only changed the color, everyone would have an issue with it, but because its "Chanel" its ok? Girl, They do the same old style bags every year. The only thing that changes is the price (higher) and the quality (going down) but the same old bag. This is one brand that seriously needs to innovate.
There used to be something exciting about luxury goods - now it is too oversaturated to be special (and the high prices do not make it special).
My friends that are into luxury wont buy also and told me to stop buying luxury and to save for my facelift in the future🤣
Went to Chanel a few times in the past few months on Rodeo Dr. Yes they have dozens of bags lingering around in the cabinet that are not selling. Also there was a bag that I liked a lot however the material liner inside the bag looked cheap, the clasp was weird and the pull through and looked tarnished and leaned to one side. Looked sewn incorrectly. Staff was weird about letting you look around upstairs and and the sales associate kept trying to push bags on me that I had no interest in yet the bag I liked he didn't want to give me information on ( a display 22 on the upper level in Flamingo Pink). Weird vibes in that store. I bought a Chanel 22, a Cruise tote a continental wallet, Chanel loafers and 4 pairs of sunglasses last year probably around 25K-30K last year. I am not buying any more Chanel. Quality and exclusivity is no longer there.
The prices are sooo high and these brand take away of the passion to buy their products as the prices are
unacceptable , I used to buy but there is no mojo any more as also the quality is not as before
Chanel did this to themselves so I have zero empathy. I will keep the bags I have but def not buying more. Not even pre loved. Prices are way too high. I mean a WOC 3500plus??? NEVER
$10k on a big is a dumb move with your money. No thanks.
I lost interest in luxury brands because of the oversaturated Instagram fake rich/models "influencers" who only embody vulgarity. Chanel was a sign of elegance but since social medias are flooded with fake models, fake rich, Onlyfans girls, porn rappers, overbotoxed life coaches who wear these brands I now associate them with vulgarity. I find more elegance in vintage and well-cut goods without any logos on.
The Baconator aka joykiller/people repeller has done her job a bit too well....LOL!
I’ve been feeling Chanel sadness 😞 I use to get good priced Chanel handbags in the early 2000
Customers eventually opened their eyes and saw how luxury brands con us with huge prices and poor quality…
We are more educated and don’t go just for the Label anymore…
it was Karl Lagerfeld that keep chanel somewhat interesting .they died when Karl died.
I would never want a Chanel flap bag - way too may people have them plus a gazillion fakes out there - zero exclusivity. NO OFFENSE TO ANYONE WHO HAS ONE - JMO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What sustainability when they go on to burn every single hand bag and clothes not sold at those crazy high prices. The high end luxury industry is one of the biggest pollutants out there. Next!!!
Ditto! Chanel along with other luxury bags that don’t match price with quality!
You know, we used to live in Seattle and I walked places and I saw people and I sat in cafés and I dressed up a bit. we left because the city just wasn’t safe anymore. And that’s how a lot of cities have become. We moved out to the boonies and everyone here dresses very casually, and I wouldn’t be caught dead with a pricey purse.
The way this is going soon perfume and beauty products will become unusable as well. This is very sad. Chanel was a hold out for quality, at least in terms of Les Exclusifs.
The perfume thing is real. I went to Sephora and smelled Dior Sauvage EDP, and it was nothing like I remembered. It was extremely light, and almost impossible to smell.
Moreover, my clone made by Afnan "Modest Une" smells identical, yet extremely strong and long lasting.
Two hours tops for so many fragrances these days… they disappear into the ether so quickly.
Maybe uncommon opinion but Hermès is giving me the same vibes lately. Quality is going down and nobody wants to play their games anymore. The prices on Mini Kelly’s etc on the preloved market are relly getting down and for me carrying one of their quota bags nowadays is like carrying a LV Speedy. The magic is gone 🤷🏼♀️😵💫
Losing passion for a brand is normal , it happens a lot , specially if said brand hasn’t evolved in terms on quality or innovation , or at least maintaining quality ( something that is non existent nowadays ). I believe we as consumer should be loyal only to quality , not the brand itself, sure you can love a fashion house because of its history heritage etc but one thing is what that fashion brand used to be, and what it is now in the present.
Love the colors ❤
I sold my last Chanel flap at a consignment store and it was lying in the shelves for months. Nobody wants this anymore. Too much on the market and it’s nothing special anymore with all the super fakes and vintage on the markets. I rather invest in the stock market and travel. Luxury is dead 💀
I subscribe to a psychology magazine and they always send it packed in a biodegradable super soft bag. If they can achieve this for a few quid magazine, surely luxury brands can get a nice material for their products.
Oh Dacob!! Chanel really thought they were gonna be Hermes in these luxurious streets! I have my 2 Chanel bags and multiple pairs of Chanel shoes. I'm good.
It's not just Chanel. I haven't been sent in a "must have frenzy" by any designer lately. I was watching some of the Balenciaga show. I was like....Not another wannabe Hermes bag 🤦🏾♀️ I'm so over designer anything right now 😏 I have plenty of designer goods to hold me right now.
I have been bathing myself in jewelry 😄 My last few big purchases have been jewelry. I'm one of those older ladies you see out with the big gaudy rings on every finger 😄 I adore a gaudy diamond ring darling 💁🏾♀️ Have a great rest of the week Dacob 🙋🏾♀️
The new season show was very not wonderful...the worst was the front double slit skirts and the bunched up (because of poor tailoring" waists in the jackets.....and the cheap looking sheer fabric on some of the summer casual "shorts" outfit...quiet a mess all along the show
For the Hollywood reference, it reminds me of Joan Crawford being called black office poison in the 30s. I agree with new products being meh, its reflective to most brands, no point buying these items new anymore. But pre loved/second hand have problems with authenticity, we consumers can never win
"In 2023, the Wertheimer brothers, the owners of Chanel, received a $5.7 billion dividend from the luxury brand, which was the largest annual payout in the company's history. This was part of a total of $12.4 billion in payouts over the previous three years." They cashed out and now that Karl is gone, some magic has been lost, and they don't care.
Dacob, keep coming with these stories, and congratulations on your new landmark subscription number. Thank you.
I find the luxury shops super calm at the moment i definitely notice a difference!
For the customer though its a nice change as you become welcomed/catered to again
Even their perfumes, theirs Christian Dior and so on there’re reports out there saying that they’ve been changing the formula on it so that when you put it on the smell doesn’t last it which prompts you to then spray on more in order to keep the smell long lasting alongside major increase in prices as my favorite fragrance every time I buy it now has an increase of at least 20%. Really a big NEXT to all those high luxury brands!
Even VCA feels common and boring now due to the “influencers” over exposing the brand. It’s sad, VCA used to feel exclusive.
I never was into Chanel until Karl Lagerfeld became the designer. When he passed away, I lost interest again. I’m not surprised their quality is not there. There are other designers that provide the style, design, and quality. Some are up and coming designers.
Once Karl Lagerfeld had died it was only a matter of time...
2:10 $10,000 USD for a leather bag with brass hardware.....
18:25 Has anyone seen the Alexander McQueen line? They are stuck on the Alessandro Michelle era (Goodwill/Thriftstore look). Even the comment section on there short videos is non-existent.
The whole fashion industry peaked on the 2000s-2021; Tom Ford, Alexander McQueen, Galliano, Viktor and Rolf, Prada.
The Prada Spring/Summer 2010 line was magnificent. Simple, yet refined, tailored and beautiful.
Now, the whole fashion industry destroyed itself bringing back BAGGY, plain, drab, monotone, and plain boring clothes that look like they can't straight from Goodwill.
The new show today… horrible
All Brands are Names so in many ways they are empty vessels whose meaning can change from time to time. For me Chanel is now a clothes maker favored by tourists from a certain nation and that’s about it…
I was wondering why the Chanel SA in Vegas was so exceptionally friendly and helpful a few weeks ago. On the other hand, Hermes was not and even made sure I knew at the very beginning that they had no bags available period. (Not an Hermes fan anyway)
i agree. i lost all interest in designer bags. it goes beyond sweatshop factory practices. its the rich get richer and all the increase hikes, inflation. hearing one to many times people getting robbed for having these bags once they get out their car to the grocery stores. No thanks. those that own it will still rock it but won't be buying new ones. I say Chanel and the rest of the luxury brands will just spend their money marketing towards aspiring customers (technically they've been doing it all along, particularly the middle class). gold diggers i mean sugar daddy's will still be buying them to reel them in, that will not change LOL. Otherwise, we are in trying times and have basic priorities to deal with.
Dacob, 40% off is still over priced IMO. Especially since Chanel staff get 95% off at the sales. I know this because a friend of mine works at one of Chanel’s beauty boutiques. The Chanel magic died when Karl lagerfeld died. Prices skyrocketed, what for? They’re still overpriced even if the CF went back to $3,000 price point. Now it’s 4x!! I mean really, they’re just f-king with us. Not me! Even the Beauty products have failed for me this year, I have all this spare money now. It’s a good feeling 😊
They keep reformulation everything. I stopped using chanel makeup for years after they changed the blushes
Brand death is indifference and apathy. Disney has been doing the same with their price increases while offering less and cheaper made merchandise. The entertainment industry and luxury brands copying each other down into the downward spiral abyss. Most people buy for the logo or name not the quality. It's always better to price compare quality than to buy for items for its name. Businesses get greedy as investors demand higher return on investment, its unsustainable. It's causes all these legacy businesses to go bankruptcy because it's mainly the working to middle class spending money on those items but no longer can afford it nor support the company.
Before Bernard Arnault and all those business men took over these luxury houses, they were not making billions. The families that held onto their houses Guccis for example, they were rich, but they were not billionaires.
Its impossible to maintain such high quality and try keep manufacturing costs low - also if you are opening luxury stores all around the world, how can you feed the demand/supply and still maintain the craftmanshp that these old families like the Guccis maintained.
Its all about making money now and its sad reading books about how these houses, founders and designers like Yves Saint Laurent, Christian Dior, Coco Chanel, Guccio Gucci cared about quality. It was always about how the fashion was made, the passion is now gone and its all about money. Chasing profits every year leads to cutting corners in order to satisfy investors 🤮
Sounds like Alice in Wonderland 😂😂😂😂😂
I am so glad I bought the bags, sunglasses, glasses, makeup, perfumes etc I desired before Virginie left. They will last the rest of my life. When she and the Ladies left I left with them. As someone said in the comments, only vintage will do the job from now on. No 5 is like a good wine and luckily I filled my cellar with some xtra bottles just before 5/6 2024.
You Dacob are like a therapist in a difficult divorcesituation. It hurts but the truth will set us free❤️🙏❤️a brand like Chanel is more than a brand, it can be a fairy godmother waving her wand, this one lost her wand middle in the act, nomore glass shoes, the prince will have to look for plastics, or a naked foot , or a fallen star without the promise of a wish fulfilled.
However, the fashion show today was fabulous…. Loved the clothes…. But not in my budget.
For me the magic of Chanel is in the history of the brand , that amazing story is still there , so I chose to believe in the dream a little more .. and I still want a bag
“ I want to believe”
It's sad what happened to Chanel but at least we have the perfumes. Their classics and their Les Exclusifs are probably the best you can buy among "mainstream" fragrances today. They're even better than most niche brands in terms of quality of materials.
14:10will smith😂
Current owners of Chanel are greedy *! They did this to themselves. 🙄
they have been greedy for a long time
They’re billionaires and still it’s not enough!
To me I find that yes I would buy a couple of luxury bags for when I want to dress up but I wouldn’t buy collections of 5 and six bags at the end of the day these are leather goods and so many other regular brands at lower price great quality beautiful leather and workmanship and that I can style …. I would rather invest in gold pieces
I came to this video after watching the Chanel 2025 spring summer show. Chanel, if you're reading this, please hire a creative director a little faster;a real, human one. That was the most boring runway ever.
Hollywood is going down. Celebrities are going down, luxurious goods and fashion houses and top models (read Naomi) hahaha going down so.ppl are finally waking up that they have been ripped ioff!!!!
Yes- I've felt taken advantage of- taken for granted. EXPLOITED.
(Re: Lux paper, what abt bamboo? Hemp? They can make wonderful things more sustainable, w/ a bit of creativity & innovation. But maybe not in Bangladesh or Vietnam or wherever they outsource things to. 🙄
I can't tell you how much I appreciate you pondering, & then warning us... SO long ago, abt the leather quality issues (& FAR before anyone else whispered criticism abt any/ALL the products). I got a big inheritance a while back & still couldn't bring myself to buy one... just wasn't worth it.
Do you have any accts or sites you like to look at for preloved Chanel? Or notice seems like a legit retailer? Or do I just go to Japan? Would rather get a Vacay out of my money too, than just buy a new/crappy quality bag. Plus, I like the vintage bags more anyways❤️👍🏻
Chanel has become a very boring brand.
Chanel had one too many price increases to fast.........
One?
I left chanel 2 years ago! Not intention to come back! My last Chanel bag looks cheap! I felt that they abused my loyalty! I rather spend my time and money in other stores where they respect me!
I understand what you mean. Just like an imbecile who doesn't reply to every message, it's no wonder that the brand kills the excitement of the customers by making bad designs.
Of course the spell is broken because Karl is gone. He was a true bookworm, spending his money like crazy on books. He wasn't someone who would fake poses on LinkedIn to impress others. He was someone who was excited enough to go to San Vitale for a Byzantine Empire themed fashion show.
At one time, they told Karl "don't go to Chanel fashion house as the head designer, it's finished". But he didn't listen to the others and achieved great success. In other words, it was Karl who resurrected Chanel.
If someone like Karl who is down-to-earth doesn't come, Chanel fashion house will decline. I don't know what will happen in the end of the story, but everything depends on Alain and Gerard's wise choice. And stupid Arthur should NEVER BE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION in this process !!
Soggy Bacon. Too much fat!
I will still buy Chanel if there is something in particular that I want. More than likely it’ll be shoes since I wear those out so will need to replace them. I have handbags enough and a collection of their accessories, and now that I’m retired I don’t need any more designer clothing - but if something hits just right and I have use for it then.. I think this demonizing of the brand is a bit targeted considering that their prices have risen the same as other designers have - not really more.
The only thing in the fashion industry that still has any value is Paris Haute Couture.
I think we.are.all.sick.of.the.corporate. greed.and.insults.from.Chanel.and.other companies,,,not.just luxury.but companies.we.work.for...Insulting the aspirational. Buyers is.the most.short.sighted.poisonous.idea..They have.insulted.and.turned off.their Asian.clients! Plus.their bags are.dowdy in my.opinion..
Just bought Chanel shoes yesterday. So this video is nonsense.
The recent show at the palais was a big indication.Unfinished building site,no groundbreaking set design,freezing cold and a huge “bird cage” in the middle!!!Karl is turning in the crypt.💙🩵
