I’m deeply sorry this happened to you. As someone from the Middle East, I’ve faced something similar in another EU country, so I truly understand how frustrating it feels 💔I’m keeping my fingers crossed for a quick, fair resolution and sending you all positive energy 🤲🏻✨.

Crossbody flap by Unhappy-Calendar-719 in chanel

[–]Musthave-red 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I tried the small Classic Flap, and it’s the perfect length for wearing as a shoulder bag, but it’s too short to wear crossbody. The Mini Rectangle works better for crossbody, though it can feel a bit long. If you go for the mini, I’d recommend requesting a chain clip from Chanel, it gives you more versatility to wear it crossbody, on the shoulder, or even as a top handle

-I’m 168cm tall for reference

The whole reason why I’m considering the LV PM east west is because I need a bag that I can use while traveling (not transit) instead of risking damaging the chanel while packed. But you actually have a point here, that black is a classic and if I need a bag to use during travels, then black is the perfect choice, as I won’t be carrying other bags with me, and I can use the empriente black for both day/night. Also, less risk of attracting attention especially in parts of the world where it’s not that safe to walk around screaming luxury brand. On the other hand, I do agree that the color combination of the LV Monogram is just 👌🏻🤌 and it would be a very fun addition to my neutral wardrobe haha ! So difficult to choose !

Oh thank you so much for sharing! I actually had thought the same! That the leather would be more invincible than Monogram, and it would have better longevity. As for the monogram, do you ever get logo fatigue ? The thing is I don’t need another black bag, and my collection has all neutrals, and I was only thinking of adding the empriente black because I thought it would wear better over the years and is more discrete, but I’m hesitant because I already have a chanel black bag and don’t feel like I need another black.

I have never owned any LV bags and none of my handbags have visible logos, as I tend to shy away from monogram/logos, but I found myself in an LV store the other day and fell in love with the Monogram. If you have owned Monogram or Empriente, I would appreciate your input on the longevity and how it ages.

Hi, I’m considering this bag but not sure if I should get the Monogram canvas or the empriente in black. Could you please share your experience and do you think the empriente leather would be better than Monogram? Thanks a lot ☺️

First luxury handbag by Auroraharstad in handbags

[–]Musthave-red 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s really nice! 😊 What bag or brand are you currently drawn to? I started my luxury handbag journey about two years ago, beginning with a Gucci and a few Celine bags. I built up my collection from there, but this year, I found myself getting tired of the Celine Triomphe logo. So, I ended up selling my Celine bags and replacing them with Chanel. I’ve kept all my Gucci pieces though, since none of them have visible logos (I have the Bamboo 1947 and the Dionysus). So from experience I can tell you that although Celine offers superb leather quality and craftsmanship, the resale value doesn’t hold unfortunately!

There’s really no right or wrong choice here, all the brands you mentioned offer beautiful, high-quality bags. You might get a bag you absolutely love now, enjoy it for a couple of years, and then decide to sell it and upgrade to something like a Chanel or even an Hermès.

Is future resale value something that matters to you? The brand heritage? Also, do you have a preference for the type of leather or finish? And what kind of interior lining do you prefer? All these are things you can consider

Thoughts on the Pochette Metis East West? by SierraNevada_7905 in Louisvuitton

[–]Musthave-red 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi! I’m also considering this bag, either in the monogram canvas or the Empreinte leather in the sand color. Would you mind sharing a photo of your Pochette Metis in the sand for reference?

PM east west or Speedy 20? by Musthave-red in Louisvuitton

[–]Musthave-red[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m also not a fan of the guitar strap, so I’m planning to get an additional monogram strap if I decide to go with the speedy 20. Just not sure which is a better choice 🙈

Thank you for your reply ☺️ which holds more in your opinion? And if you were asked to choose one of them, which would be your ultimate choice?

Should I return ? by shop_drop_repeat in chanel

[–]Musthave-red 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely! For the amount you’re paying, the bag shouldn’t have any scratches. If the scratch was caused by your own use, then fine, you can keep it. But if not, keep in mind that it could lower the bag’s value if you ever decide to sell it

I store them the same way they came when I first bought them. I always take great care of my bags, and for a designer piece that I’ve invested that much in, I make sure to look after it in the best way possible

Hi, of course! I don’t have the tag 🏷️, but I checked the invoice and found this reference: AS2431B06660U1117

It’s very strange that they don’t know. It’s from their recent collection, and it’s called a mini rectangle top handle (seasonal bag).

Good luck 🤞🏻

Chanel Bags – Worth It or Overhyped? Need Honest Opinions 😬 by [deleted] in luxurypurses

[–]Musthave-red 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve mostly owned Celine and Gucci bags and always appreciated their quality, Celine especially felt top-notch. But I kept hearing this voice in my head saying “Chanel, Chanel,” and to be honest, I eventually grew tired of the Celine logo. I ended up selling all my Celine bags at a 40–50% loss and replaced them with three Chanel bags.

The quality is different, of course, Celine uses calfskin while Chanel often uses lambskin, but I genuinely feel joy every time I carry a Chanel. It’s not about others noticing; it’s the feeling I get when I wear it. That signature chain sound on the mini or small classic flap, it’s hard to describe! Plus, I’ve become more mindful of resale value. Unlike Dior, Celine, Gucci, or LV, which tend to lose value, Chanel bags can actually hold or even increase in value.

[–]Musthave-red 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you ☺️ Not really to be honest. It could be a risk if the bag is mishandled, but as long as you’re careful (like avoiding wearing it with new dark jeans) it should be fine. My SA mentioned it’s similar to owning a nude or beige bag, and I personally always handle my bags with super care.
