    Thanks for another great video ♥️. Speaking to a friend who worked in Hermès for 10 years, she told me that Chanel bags are made, on the outside, with the same quality leathers that Hermès uses for the inside of their bags. Hermès would never use for the outside of the bags the same leather that Chanel uses, because it wouldn’t resist a regular usage without getting truly damaged. That opened my eyes, Chanel is now selling a status symbol but not giving the quality customers should be getting for their money 🤷🏻‍♀️

    In all honesty, after I bought my medium classic flap in black caviar SHW earlier this year I kept criticizing myself about how dumb I was. Of course I kept it because I couldn’t return it but it’s like once the hype dies down you see things for what they are. From the bottom of my heart to whoever is reading this feeling bummed about the price increase and not being able to afford the bag… girl just save your money. Saint Laurent is just as pretty and luxurious for much less. I spent the money and yes I’m happy that I have the bag but you can rest assured I wouldn’t buy again if I could go back in time.

      Can’t agree more. I bought several Chanel bags in recent years that has gone up in 30%+, I only felt the purchases are justified after insane price increases that surely can’t be sustainable. Still it’s not really worth that price tag (even before the increases) comparing with the quality of leather in other brands like Celine/BV which I bought at discounted price during the same period.

    This also would explain why the SLGs are allegedly increasing in price for the first time in a long while. IMO a lot more people are going to turn away from Chanel entirely.

    What an absolute waste of money. They're not handmade like the Birkin. They're factory bags. The quality isn't great. You're paying essentially 8,800 for brand alone. YSL has a much more stylish and updated look and better quality imho. Plus you're not bankrupting yourself to afford it.

Also I don't think it's fair to compare Birkin and Chanel, the style is very different and to acquire a Birkin is also different to a Chanel experience.

I made sure my kids never went without a thing and now that they’re all grown up and I can finally splurge have something for me Chanel has shattered that dream. There is no way I will hand over that much money for a bag. It’s not my responsibility to keep the business of Chanel alive. Especially since they have such disregard for the dreams of the average person. I’m tired of all the excuses to increase prices, first it was COVID, then it was because power went up blah blah blah! Chanel is just greedy! They want to make a certain percentage of profit so that the fat cats in the ivory tower of Chanel will continue to rake in obscene amounts of salary, that’s all! I’m so angry 😠 Other businesses have adapted, re-evaluated and changed during COVID but still provide the highest value, customer service, satisfaction. Chanel has not and they will not be getting any of my money for bags. I will continue to love my excellent quality YSL bags, a third of the price of Chanel and I’m sure YSL are getting their hides from the same supplier 🤷🏼‍♀️ Sorry to get so emotional.

And since then I kinda lost track of their collections and their ridiculous price increases so I had no idea they now have 10 collections! Omg that IS fast fashion! Anyway, I’m actually surprised to see how many ppl keep buying in the past few years when the prices are insane while the quality just isn’t there. Their bags just look so tacky and cheap now. So not worth it. Nowadays I’m obsessed with vintage, the quality is like day and night.

So by the time I travel to a place where there’s a Chanel, price increases ($2000-3000 more than it cost in 2019) means I probably won’t walk in, when before I would have been happy to go in and buy a few pieces. They’re not going to get new legitimate customers.

I know from the history when during the War World 2 the farm workers in USSR were raising animals like sables or minks and were literally starving themselves, but fed those animals with the freshest eggs and any other best foods available. Fed them like that on daily basis, while were just surviving on bread and water themselves. At that time their fur was equal to gold and it meant more Lend-lease supplies from USA.

    I always stated that the preloved market would start to damage not only Chanel, but many other Fashion Houses bottom line. However, I do not buy the argument that scalpers are selling handbags for more on preloved markets. It is over-saturated and currently it is a buyer's market not a seller's. I think Chanel is full of BS and perhaps is in more financial trouble then they are leading on. A price increase is not going to deter a scalper from buying the product. They pumped out too many bags to quickly and need to scale back. In 2021, textiles went up in price. I have a feeling something deeper is happening.
    The only reason Hermes sells anything beyond the Birkin and Kelly is because they force clients to buy other items, items no one would probably spend money on if it did not lead to the "journey". I agree with Dacob, it feels dirty and sneaky and makes me not want to support this brand at all.

    Yes, Chanel‘s price is so crazy now. I started buying Chanel bags over 30+ yrs ago and I had most of the classic bags. I also like to buy their show bags, but not anymore. Earlier, I wanted to order a show bag from Cruise 2022 and I was told that it cost $5,900. I was so surprised that they sell it so expensive and out of reality. I won’t spend over 4k on a bag.

    Sad for prospective clients who have been dreaming and saving up for the classics…with their continuous price increase new clients will just have to keep on saving until they can catch up. Eventually they might get turned off and just go somewhere else… or still go to the secondhand/vintage route. :(

      The problem of the reseller issue is not that there is a resell market but rather that said market is FLOODED with CHANEL bags. Way too many available and that is what the brand dreads. They don't want to see as many on the second hand market. They want people to buy their bags and keep them for themselves (in a brand's vision of a perfect world).

    This video blew my mind tbh. Such a good video Dacob!! Although I find that the resale market has changed SO much in recent years, and that prices tend to not even make sense because they are not significantly lower than buying new. I’d rather pay a bit more and not have to worry about authenticity. I also just feel really bad for people who have been saving up for a long time for a Chanel flap. Anyway, love the video and hope you’re well. I used to post handbag videos too and remember interacting with you sometimes! I watch your content, but I’ve just become a silent watcher lol.

    "The highest end hides are very limited"=THIS. People don't consider this when they talk about the price increases, availability of premium bags, etc. Like hello-the top brands aren't just going to any old tannery. There is much to be considered when you talk about what goes into a luxury bag- other than the name (people always focus on the name lol- like "you're paying for the name" etc.- you are in part- but you are also paying for those other components).

    Great video, Dacob! You are absolutely right, these bags are not financial investments just because their prices go up. I never thought about how difficult it is to source superior hides - there is a lot that goes into that itself when raising the animal. It’s very hard to maintain consistency in a natural material. I too take screenshots of bags from the site (can you tell I’m a millennial? Lol) and have noticed sneaky price increases for certain bags. I’ve been told they are currency adjustments - apparently! Price increase or not, Chanel was always expensive when I started buying. The price increases end up desensitizing us to how expensive they really are in the sense that we end up thinking that a $5k bag is “affordable.”

    The love of my life bought me the reissue 255 in black and gold at the alarming rate increase but that’s because I really don’t trust ourselves buying second hand.
    Some days I am kicking myself in the foot over it because he could have put the funds towards the flap. Lol but then I remember why I fell in love with the OG bag (that Coco herself wore) in the first place. I def learned a valuable lesson though not to be so damn impulsive for next time and not buy anything after the price increases.

    Here I am in my 30s, will never own classic Chanel. I’ve always wanted the classic flap, but in my case, I feel that my priority is my house. My goal once was to pay off at least half of my mortgage before I buy one. Now I don’t think it’s happening. I’m looking to pay off my house next year (way sooner than I expected), but the price that went up the past few years was insane. Like a lot of other people say, they don’t want our money, the new customer. I’ll bring my money elsewhere.

      My personal opinion is if we need to “budget“ or ”prioritize“ spending , then we should not spend on the luxury goods being Chanel or Hermès. These are truly just extra to our life. They should not in any way cause us any stress or compromise our lifestyle. We should only spend on luxuries if you do not feel a thing, once that monies are gone from your bank account.

    I bought a Bvlgari bracelet instead of a classic flap. That bracelet is 18k rose gold. Granted it was more expensive than the flap but I actually liked it more than just a bag.

      Each leather is processed and treated chemically, some more and some less. Doesn't stop one from getting higher or lower quality leathers for their caviar, unless they want to cut costs, as they did also for their lambskins. Chanel decided to equal their price of the caviar to their lambskin prices which in the past were not the same. That also tells you a lot.

Then if those customers pass them they will go down the list.
    Example I am on a reservation list and am the 2nd in line. If the 10 person in this list has the highest RTW sales. They will be offered the item first and if I have 0 RTW sales.. I might not ever get this item.

      They don't ask for down-payments ever. They do not accept them in part because the products keep going up in price so they cannot accept a certain amount of money which would potentially be lower than the amount they would demand upon the product's arrival to the boutique.

On top of that, resellers will be still fine, at Hermes there are all those difficulties to get the bag, plus price, and there are plenty of mini-Kellys for over 20k euros each on resale market🤷🏻‍♀️ It just drives the image of extremely expensive and desirable brand, which I am sure Chanel has nothing against
