CHANEL Lovers (Thread 2)

@lesters_gal it's so hard lang to maintain the bags, especially the patented leathers.  At some point it becomes malagkit.

Chanel WOC at Mischka GH is 108k, blue colour

good deal na ba ang 180t for maxi caviar flap?

[mrscreamsoda]

hi everyone!!! has anyone tried buying a second hand chanel? is it worth it or better nalang to buy the new ones from the store? cuz I noticed parang mas type ko yung mga vintage chanel bag designs 

It's a matter of preference sis. Meron talagang ang hanap talaga is vintage Chanel. Pero heads up lang, some aunthenticators no longer aunthenticate Chanel classics and reissue single(?) flaps with 15XXXXXX serial numbers. Start ka siguro sa 13XXXXXX.

I've never been a fan of Chanel pero I had been eyeing a Classic Single flap Jumbo until I saw Chanel Le Boy. My jaw dropped. Ang gandaaaa! Ang gastos nga lang! Haha

[mama squeak!]

^I tried the Chanel Boy bag in new medium and I loved it! Tama lang yung size for a smartphone, wallet and a small cosmetic pouch. Too bad they didn't have the color that I liked available.

I like the Le Boy nga but how's the leather kaya? My Chanel jumbo double flap in lambskin kasi nagbakbak yung leather because of humidity huhuhu. The caviar leather naman so far so good.

[mrscreamsoda]

^ hindi ko pa natanong kung okay yung caviar leather pero parang sabi ng friend ko na she prefers the Boy in caviar dahil mas durable daw and less maintenance. Napacheck mo na sa Chanel yung bakbak?

mama squeak, napansin ko sa Neiman Marcus pa isa isang kulay lang nirerelease nila. Same goes for Saks. I have yet to check my Chanel store for them Boys lol Last time I checked, they were very well-stocked with Classics. Sana sa Boy din.

When we went to HK last year to celebrate our daughter's bday, hubby bought a classic chanel flap bag for me.  It became my favorite bag.  But recently, in Japan, I chose the orange flap bag.  Love it more.

[foxymom]

^nakaka tempt!!!

[m_lim]

^super! imagine.. 175t nalang ang Jumbo.. ang resellers dito, 245t parin ang price.

[little_princess]

I am thinking VERY hard if I should get a flap. Small lang gusto ko kasi I have WOC na. Ang baba ng GBP now plus I have a lot of rewards points to use 

[googoo]

^ You can't go wrong with chanel.  Sabi nga nila cheaper na ngayon.  I just got a GST.  I super love it, kaya lang not advisable for daily use since ang bigat   

What do you guys use to maintain the leather?

[kho_leen]

Hubby just bought me a chanel bag in London. My first chanel.

He described it as malaki daw.  I'm guessing it's GST or the seasonal tote bag.

He was surprised na ang smaller flap bags pa ang pricey.

I told him it's "chanel".

[googoo]

^ It must be the gold chains that makes it more expensive.  I was surprised nga that the GST was more affordable. 

[pretinnes]

If in the US, saan okay bumili? I am really eyeing the maxi flap bag. Good choice ba?

[orangepulp]

^My cousin has a Chanel maxi and madalas niyang gamit because very spacious but I find it too big so I got a medium flap instead. I'm thinking of getting a jumbo because I find the medium a bit small for my everyday essentials.
