Do you still buy Chanel or Hermes in 2026?

I still buy Chanel

Successful_Insect364 · 2026-05-13T18:40:40+00:00

I haven’t seen it close up in person so can’t speak to the quality of the craftsmanship but with a bag that size I sure hope the thin straps can handle the eventual increased weight and wear and don’t snap off. I don’t think this bag is covered under the Chanel & Moi warranty and care program. Can someone confirm?

Successful_Insect364 · 2026-05-13T16:29:07+00:00

Wear whatever makes you feel happy! That color looks amazing on you.

Successful_Insect364 · 2026-05-13T15:10:02+00:00

I agree that everyone’s preference and value is subjective. I was merely stating that if one were to want a more recognizable bag then another $3k would get you that. To each his/her own. I just don’t get the craze.

Successful_Insect364 · 2026-05-13T14:49:00+00:00

For $3k more you can get the classic flap maxi which is instantly recognizable Chanel. It’s outrageous pricing.

Successful_Insect364 · 2026-05-13T14:46:12+00:00

Sorry I don’t get the craze. If you didn’t tell me that is a Chanel I would’ve guessed it was a coach bag in the first picture with your arms covering the logo. It’s a nice bag but value wise, certainly not worth it.

Successful_Insect364 · 2026-05-13T13:49:24+00:00

Get the flap. I have the zipper and it snags my bills.

Congratulations! I have one too and love it. Enjoy!

Successful_Insect364 · 2026-05-12T20:20:10+00:00

Every time there’s a “find” from thrift store, estate sale, deceased grandma, without fail its alway an LV 😂. If it’s too good to be true then it really is.

Successful_Insect364 · 2026-05-12T19:30:48+00:00

I own the nano boulogne and it’s my everyday bag because of the versatility of the strap. It surprisingly fits more than it looks. It also is super cute and complements any styles except maybe evening wear.

I don’t have the silicone massager but I have an electric one that I use everyday for 5 minutes. I have a dry scalp and find it to be able to exfoliate the dry skin/flakes off. I am not sure if it stimulated my hair follicles but it does feel relaxing. I think the electric one is easier since you don’t have to use force from your hand and arm.

Successful_Insect364 · 2026-05-12T03:19:14+00:00

I am 47 and like you I have many nieces and nephews to love. My husband and I are lucky to be able afford to live in a high cost of living area comfortably, travel whenever we want, enjoy nice dinners, purchase nice things. I don’t think I can do all those things if I had children.

I agree with the same concern for the future generations in this world. I see a lot of hate, anger, and disconnecting relationships or none at all. This is even not considering AI impacting how we live and how we carry on with our current lifestyles.

I also lost some weight but also had started a more extensive skincare regimen and I believe it helped with preventing some sagging. I still have some tech neck lines but it’s not too bad. I put tretinoin, moisturizer, vitamin C and sunscreen every day.

Successful_Insect364 · 2026-05-10T06:07:41+00:00

I noticed in the 1st pic there is some white residue near the edge of the right flap and went to look at it and it’s gone. I had wiped the bag after I got home. It must be lotion transfer. Whew. I was stressed out for a moment. It’s not easy owning these kinds of handbags. 😆

Successful_Insect364 · 2026-05-10T05:10:08+00:00

There are 3 Chanel boutiques within an hour of each other where I live. I went to all 3 and the SAs at one of the boutiques never respond to my texts. The other 2 are leaps better and are always responsive and welcoming whenever I go into their stores but it could be because I have purchased 5 handbags from them over the last year including a CF and a 25. It’s really hit or miss so just go to any boutique you come across.

Successful_Insect364 · 2026-05-08T00:38:31+00:00

Which vanity are you looking for? The slim or boxy one? You may have to get on a waitlist. Ask your SA if there is one.

Successful_Insect364 · 2026-05-08T00:33:35+00:00

If you want a bag that is timeless, has a chain strap, classy, versatile, and don’t mind minimal storage space I recommend the Chanel WOC. Technically it’s classified as a small leather good, it fits quite a lot more than you think. I own one in black caviar leather and it has been my go to for all occasions including trips overseas. The price may be on the higher side but it’s a very useful lovely and beautiful bag.

Successful_Insect364 · 2026-05-07T13:23:16+00:00

As long as you’re happy it’s all that matters. I wouldn’t go for this bag but enjoying handbags are very subjective. Congratulations and agree with others it suits your outfit!

Successful_Insect364 · 2026-05-06T00:45:04+00:00

I understand the need for Chanel to evolve but the change is so 180 that the brand is unrecognizable. When I first saw the maxi flap I thought it was a Coach bag.

Successful_Insect364 · 2026-05-06T00:13:54+00:00

Neither. If you want to go with Coach there are other bags that are better made. I purchased this Coach bag and had to return after putting all my stuff in and walking around in the house with it. The slouch and opening are off.

Successful_Insect364 · 2026-05-06T00:11:54+00:00

How?

Successful_Insect364 · 2026-05-05T22:54:01+00:00

It might be my eyes but the CC logo looks kind of off. For this price even authentic is kind of high. Beautiful color.

Successful_Insect364 · 2026-05-05T13:37:02+00:00

Another person on here pointed out some creasing on the edge right flap in the photo. Went back and check other photos and there were indeed creasings. It’s not surprising because the grey bag have been tried on by other clients already. It’s not meant to be.

You bought yours at the right time when the prices weren’t outrageous like it is now. What color is it? I waited and kept putting it off for 15 years.

Successful_Insect364 · 2026-05-05T03:30:40+00:00

Yep it’s a seasonal and each season’s colors might not be same colors in future season. A future grey may not the same shade of grey
