OMG! When are people going to stop buying these bags. I just don’t understand. I really feel bad for you Dacob because I know how much you love Chanel,but they are just laughing at you guys.
It looks like Chanel is trying to teach people to have some self-respect ✊ by selling this poorly made bags for thousands of dollars. But people aren’t getting it.🤔
I’m so sorry Dacob. It is like an abusive relationship where things get better for a little bit and then you get let down again. My Chanel relationship was short and quick and I’ve grown to love Fendi. I can’t wait to see what the future has in store for you. ❤️
Dacob, use this bag as an experiment to see just how bad a Chanel bag can get from light use. Then, every time you get tempted to buy a new Chanel bag, look at this one and you will surely change your mind. You need the reminder of what a rip off Chanel has become because you’re still (understandably) in love with the brand.
Letting go is really difficult - because we do end up having a relationship of sorts with our luxury brands. For me, the addiction comes in always expecting the next bag to give me some sort of happiness that I am forever seeking. We end up in seriously messy toxic relationships with these brands! I'm so sorry this is happening with this bag. If you can't get a reasonable resolution, maybe longer term you can replace the chain with a non-Chanel one or remove the strap and have it as more of a card holder. If you bought this on a credit card, I'd definitely consider taking it up with the card company, if Chanel aren't helpful - since this item is not fit for the purpose intended, given it's already cracking etc.
I got a Chanel Classic flap years ago in France wore it 3 times and the chain went all weird they accused me of misusing it. I wore it to a restaurant in a cab 3 times, they wanted to charge me to fix it, I said no way, they gave me a new strap and gave me the old strap back too. They really suck so much.
Breaking up with Chanel is difficult as a Chanel lover for many years. I still remember the excitement and joy buying my first Chanel (CF) more than a decade ago. However, its quality issue has become more and more apparent since 2021. I made my last Chanel purchase last year. Like Dacob, I won't be buying anymore Chanel leather goods or some RTW. Lately I have been very interested in Balenciaga and bought an Hourglasss bag. I love it!
I’m so sorry Dacob! I feel like I know how you feel. I think they are laughing at us for sure. I agreed with you and your recent videos regarding the relationship. It’s HARDDDD to end that relationship. Your love for Chanel made me happy for many years. I’m sad to see you no longer enjoying your chanel leather bags!!! I really hope they do something grand and sweet for you to mend the relationship. Because it would be a big loss for Chanel to lose you as their loyal client. ♥️♥️♥️
Is there some sort of lab you can send this to so they can figure out exactly what that leather is made of? I have lots of vintage leather bags, some of them are 30+ years old and have cracks, and the cracking on this looks so weird. I definitely don't feel like this is 100% leather.
not even my 20y old bag does that, and it’s lambskin not caviar…this gets more and more insane and im sure that wouldnt had happen if karl would still be there. he would never release such a bad quality item!
My Palm Springs mini (new model) started peeling and I didn’t even want to reach out to my SA out of fear. It’s ridiculous to feel this way with any luxury house brand. They’re billion dollar companies, and them replacing a $3000 bag is like pennies to them. I’m taking it to repairs! I don’t care, customer service for lower brands that are not even luxury deal with customers better!
I hope my LV items will hold bec I just started buying last year so they're newly made and I have the same fear😨! I bought a multi pochette last week(made in Spain) it was looking good bec I actually checked then after 5days a stitch popped even though I haven't used it yet. I think that part of the thread was compromised and was just held by the glue(it was sewed well though that's why I was surprised). I brought it to the store and I'm glad the CA gave me no fuss and gave me a new one. My other items are all looking good so I think sometimes some items are defective just have them change or repair it but yeah the dread and trouble 😢, not a nice feeling at all!
Yes, it’s ridiculous. I just bought a bag from Senreve, for 800$ , that I wanted to use as a diaper bag. When a problem occurred, they immediately took care of it and even send me a gift, a nice one. I am also a person, that’s too afraid to speak of with Chanel if there’s an issue. I need to change that.
The damage on your bag after three days of using it is shocking. Thankfully I haven't bought a Chanel bag this year, and now I probably will not. This quality issue is so disappointing. The problem with the ready to wear is also disappointing.
So sorry, Dacob. When I saw your reveal I mosied on over to my boutique and nearly picked one up but it was just a day after our big EU price increase so I was already annoyed plus the flap was VERY noticeably crooked. I walked out without it and after seeing this I’m so glad I didn’t get it. Heartbreaking for us by this brand we all want to love so dearly.
Haven’t bought any CC handbags since 2019 after Lagerfeld’s passing. Sticking to some rtw, shoes and some cj for now til I see improvement on qc in all dept.
Dear Dacob, I‘ m so sorry for you. But I think KL knew that grave robbers are coming , hence his gorgeous egypt show. End of an era of preserving everything CC stands for. Allegedly…😔
I have my 2 chanel bags. Both purchased in 2021. Now I am I'm the process of buying an alligator rogue bags from cosch,and I am super exited. It is one of a kind .
I have a little caviar vanity baby (i have been collecting these slgs primarily because these are the ones that i find cute and are in my budget. But a few uses in, some stiches are popped and the edges are getting rubbed. To think i have been babying this item. I think imma hold off on buying Chanel for now.
Break ups are never easy. It takes a while of going back and forth. I understand you still feeling attracted to your old love. We all get to where we're going in our own time.
Thought you might be interested in seeing what the gouged leather looks like on a vintage (05 series) bag. It looks quite different to the gouge/peeling on your 22. The bag is in a Fellows U.K. auction house designer bags auction on 5 Sept, lot 49 - a blue Double Flap. (Can’t add the link here as YT will delete the comment). But the peeling looks very different (somehow more “natural”) to that on both your ex-22 and this scarlet baby.
Even cheap leather goods from H&M don’t crack/peel like that… and what’s underneath?? This can’t be real leather! 😱 SHOCKING! I’m a Gucci girl myself, and all my Gucci bags have really high quality, durable leather. Never had an issue.
Ugh heartbroken for you, Dacob. I have no idea who is dyeing this leather but they need to get it together. I just bought the Balenciaga Le Cagole in croc embossed leather with rhinestone hardware, and I am completely obsessed. No defects whatsoever. Branch out and find something else that makes your heart song. This strap, along with the 22 photos, do not look like 100% leather, and it is totally unacceptable.
I completely understand you. I love Chanel, it's like seeing someone you love go down a bad path like.... Listen, I've dreamed about Chanel since I was a boy. I remember buying Vogue Brazil with my first salary and just seeing those amazing ads, reading about Coco's life story, I remember as the videos for Inside Chanel were just coming out and boy what happy few minutes those were for me. I remember the first time I smelled number 5. I just travelled and had the opportunity to go to a boutique for the first time last month and I was so truly... Happy. And now I see these dreams being destroyed in front on my eyes, all this amazing work and history are being used as a bank for spoiled rich old men who want as much money as they can get and have no respect for Coco's legacy. I can't imagine how devastated she must be with this travesty. I feel her pain inside my heart, and I feel yours too because it is just sad. And is hard to let go, of course!! For me is like beautiful art, is just there to be beautiful and make you dream. Is completely useless one might argue, but as Oscar Wilde suggested, beauty by itself is enough. It makes life worth it. It brings happiness to your heart, and only the ones who can relate to that experience will understand why we try so deeply to hold to something like a brand. For us is more than a brand. For me Chanel was my beauty. Chanel gave me life even though I never bought anything other than perfumes from the boutique, that I just visited for the first time last month that's how powerful it was, I didn't need to buy anything the desire was delicious. I was in the middle of my fantasy and then ..they decide that they see themselves as a brand now, and want to rip us off at the cost of this dream and for this we'll not settle. Not for this disrespect with the histories we love so much. So sorry Dacob.... P.s. but I think we a bit crazy too tho....
Omg! That close-up of the leather in the chain strap was shocking! I love Chanel, and hope to one day add to my slg collection with a beautiful bag, but this is off-putting, to say the least.
This is so sad, I know you have a genuine affection for the brand and it’s history and founder, it’s not that easy. Like my recent challenges with Fendi, I’ve learned it’s only one way and, like you say, many critics and outside commentators have an opinion on how smart or stupid we are. I’m sorry about your bag and I hope you get a better solution than those you’ve named x
Oh no this is terrible. I am feeling your pain Dacob. You have beautiful pieces in your collection to cherish. Keep your love alive for old school Chanel from iconic Coco and Karl days. Sadly those days seem to be gone from quality perspective but we can still love and admire pieces of that era. Like works of art lol 😭 I love Chanel perfume too I have two fragrances… hopefully they will never change the formula!
Thank you for sharing this Dacob this is an important public service. I know you are broken hearted due to your long love for the brand. My heart goes out to you.
I'm so sorry Dacob! I know how much you love Chanel so the fact that you, of all people, are having this issue. No one that spends this amount of money should have to deal with what are basically defective products. The fact that Chanel can't seem to get this right, yet I have friends that buy the 1:1 replicas and their replicas look like better quality than my newest real bag is really depressing.
When that picture popped up on the screen I literally shouted “OH H*ELL NO!” I was actually really interested in getting this bag after seeing it on your channel and thought it would be a safe bet. I will be keeping my money and my sanity now.
My 0 series classic flap has ONE Slightly pulled stitched… one. The bag is 40 years old and otherwise in perfect condition. These quality issues with new bags are absolutely ridiculous!
I own vintage Chanel, but refuse to purchase anything new from the brand. I simply do not like the way they do business. I feel so bad when people say they are scared to complain about a purchase gone wrong. If the relationship is toxic you simple leave. Which is why Chanel don’t deserve me or my money. We deserve better!
Oh that’s really bad shame on Chanel.I’m so sorry for you and too hear this.I know they’re gonna hear from you let them have it.Enjoy the rest of your trip❤️
Chanel is like a girlfriend who keeps cheating on you - after the 2nd or 3rd time, you kick them out and you don’t have them back - it’s your time to say bye bye to them
Omg I'm so sorry Dacob! It seems like loving them isn't enough, because we have to accept its huge flaws in quality and make now. And that's just simply unacceptable!
I’m so sad for you. It really sucks. And it’s awful you can already predict what’s going to happen when you return it. That it’s going to suck too! The repair is going to suck. Ahhhh I get so pissed off thinking about it. I currently only have two Chanel bags and sold some others but I’m glad none of them ever had issues. There is no way I’m buying anything ever again hearing all this. 😡😡 love ya Dacob.
Omg I can relate!!! I recently bought a Chanel bag from their 22A collection & the leather strap between the chains is cracking too. So disappointed with Chanel.
It’s not just the quality of the “leather” is bad. The workmanship is also bad (regardless of made in Italy or made in France). I have wanted a square mini forever, but they were never in stock. The other day I finally saw one in stock, and it is made in France. But the shape is just not regular and seams are visibly off. It doesn’t even feel like a “luxury” bag. I couldn’t bring myself to pay $4000+ for the piece of crap
Oh Dacob, my heart is breaking for you. It’s devastating when yr beloved brand has quality issues & I agree, stay away fr the bag section. Could you possibly ask for a “credit note” rather than what may be a “sub-par” repair fr yr S/A? On a positive note absolutely love yr VW brooch. Keep smiling life’s too short to worry about material items. My late Mum used to say “don’t worry about if”if’s & an’s, pots & pans whatever will be, will be”. Really hope you get “Spring” sorted out ASAP too. Cyber hugs my friend. 🏳️🌈😘
I'm so sorry this happened to you, Dacob. I don't think these issues have anything to do with where the bags are made, and everything to do with the raw materials the artisans are given. And I still say this is split leather vs composite, but who knows, really.
Sorry to hear about the issue you have with your SLG. I had the exact same issue back in 2020 with a seasonal red caviar bucket bag and I used it once. It was such a nightmare to get a voucher but I did it in the end (post return period). I hope you manage to get a resolution from Chanel. It saddens me because I love the designs but the quality does not seem to be up to standard anymore.
Instead of a lengthy Chanel repair (I really hope they offer you different options!) you had issues with before you could always have a third party artisan replace the leather in the chain.
Oh no! I am so sorry you had to experience this Dacob. I want to say I am disappointed but why am I not?Disappointment has set in for a while now. I am disheartened. I think I have stopped living in the fantasy that Chanel is still Chanel… With all these defects coming out, the price increases, and the implementation of purchase limits to regular Chanel lovers I have definitely been turned off. Letting go is hard…the struggle is definitely real. I confronted my SA so much from all the defects I got… my SA has been good about it but sometimes I feel that more and more I get reasons like oh that’s how the leather is. Yes! Stand up for what is right, say something if it is wrong, this is what I always tell my children. We all need to stand together and STOP buying. So far my contribution is not purchasing from 22 A and on… I know it’s just a few collections but hey it is a beginning! I was hoping to score one more last one (words of a chanel addict) from 22A but that didn’t happen so I really told myself, NOT MEANT TO BE!! Move ON…. So where shall we move on to Dacob!? This is a great topic that I have seen others discuss but have not listened or read about since I wasn’t completely ready. I would love to see a video on Moving on from Chanel! As always great content. Love you! 😘🤗♥️
This is so awful. I hope Chanel sees this and takes care of you! Can talk about vintage Chanel and if you might go that route? I wish you the best of luck with resolving this! ❤ xoxo
Hi Dacob, which brand do you think it's worth buying after moving on from Chanel? Btw, support support on your decision from not buying Chanel leather goods, they really need to improve their quality before asking consumers to pay tons of money. This is unfair to the amount of money spent in return.
That is just heartbreaking. I'm so sorry. I agree, spending so much money and getting such low quality time after time, it's time to move on. Great video, but such a terrible reason. 💔
Everyone is saying Bvlgari serpenti bags have leather like old chanel. Just bought my 2nd Bvlgari bag (cabochon with the snake head and grained leather not the smooth archived serpenti head) thier quality is true luxury. I have my chanel 19 and I'm completely done with chanel bags. The quality and prices of chanel is a shame, i can't believe they care so little about their customers.
ahh Dacob im so sorry. I totally understand its not that easy, it takes a few hits before you finally come to realisation. Ferragamo is my favourite brand, and if I imagine quality going down and being treated poorly there would break my heart. enjoy the pieces of Lagerfeld...and stay hopeful for the future...
Hi, I am new to your channel. Very interesting ! I recently went to a Chanel store and I wanted to purchase a 2.55. The flap was not aligned: higher on one side than on the other. I told the SA I could not buy it with that! Then I tried a lambskin timeless and I was also disapointed with the lambskin leather quality. It wasn‘t smooth like butter. I wanted a „made in France“ 2.55 and now I think I will go for a pre-loved altough „made in Italy“. What do you think about this? Lambskin is supposed to feel like butter ?
I'm sorry it happened again to you, knowing how much you love the house. I was about to buy my first Chanel bag this year and after all the horror stories, I've decided to buy Hermes, instead.
Coco's legacy is dead and gone. The constant price increases, the severe decline in quality, the terrible customer service, and don't think we didn't forget about them taking down your instagram. The higher ups at Chanel know there is no such thing as bad PR, so that gives them the freedom to do anything they want, and any criticism of them only increases their popularity. It's very much the Kardashian™ effect. The only real way to voice your dissatisfaction is to stop giving them your time and attention. Personally, I would love to see you featuring other designers and houses. I would love to see other brands like Moynat, Bvlgari, Celine, *WESTWOOD*, coperni, courrèges, instead of the typical chanel, LV, hermes. I think it's more important to give the spotlight to more deserving and better quality brands.
This is so sad.. better to just go vintage or preloved because you know the quality was better before if it survived years already of being used or even stored :(
Wow it doesn’t look like leather! I have the 22C pink CF & there’s a mark on the inside of the flap because the hardware is tarnishing & staining the bag. I’d have to send it back to Paris to have it serviced but they don’t know if the discoloured leather can be fixed🙄
Hi Dacob. I have made the difficult decision of not buying any leather SLGs nor bags anymore until they fix their quality. I will stick with shoewear, jewelry, sunglasses and any earrings or necklaces that catch my eye in the fashion jewelry department.
I think i understand why its Hard to leave a brand you have Loves so much. Its like living in a bad relation. There is Good thing you hang in to and Then you have THE bad things in THE other Bowl. But i am not sure you cant leave THE bags so easy from Chanel. There Will come a bag that you Will Love to grab your paws on.
Hasn’t happened to me ever since last year with this tiny red bag from this video. So its been almost a year and a half now that I have not bought another cc leather bag. And was also not tempted really.
My friend is like you. She can’t move on fr Chanel . She been telling us all Chanel quality is bad and after sale customer service is shiiity . Last mth she was at rue cambon and she bought a 22 bag 😂 I showed her your videos on the bad quality and now she is trying to sell it 😂
I stopped buying brand new chanel already.i saw the green mini square brand new from a seller with a scuff on the corners already.brand new from store.
Oh Dacob!! Oh WOW!! I just purchased a few test pieces on pre- loved. I was so geared up to go all the way with Chanel until I've seen what's happened to you! I just hate it!! And from what I've seen with Chanel leather looking @ pre - loved with all of the crackly leather & deflated yaaazzzz deflated quilting but omg!!! WTW?!! On a brand new piece? No, I don't care how long you've had or how much you've used it you are still due quality equal to the price!!! Take note Chanel!! My dollars won't b coming your way anytime soon!!
OMG! When are people going to stop buying these bags. I just don’t understand. I really feel bad for you Dacob because I know how much you love Chanel,but they are just laughing at you guys.
I feel the same. These brands raise prices and reduce quality because we accept it.
Exactly.
Yep! Please STOP
buying these overpriced crappy bags!!!
@@totesgene Totally agree!
That feeling when your 300 eur bag is better quality than 3-4k one 😅
God bless indie brands
It looks like Chanel is trying to teach people to have some self-respect ✊ by selling this poorly made bags for thousands of dollars. But people aren’t getting it.🤔
I’m so sorry Dacob. It is like an abusive relationship where things get better for a little bit and then you get let down again. My Chanel relationship was short and quick and I’ve grown to love Fendi. I can’t wait to see what the future has in store for you. ❤️
That is exact! So well described its an abusive relationship indeed!
Chanel says they love me and they’ll change!

Wow, Jacob, I'm excited to see where your Luxury Journey takes you!! Thnx for the enlightenment!! You're doing a great job!! You are loved!! 🥰😍
I just bought 2 bags fr Chanel this mth. One is lambskin and one is caviar . I’ll be keeping u all posted on its condition after a few wears .
I’m so sorry Dacob! I feel like I know how you feel. I think they are laughing at us for sure. I agreed with you and your recent videos regarding the relationship.

I had the same one with the little top handle... The Leather came completely out of the chain!
Sounds horrible 😰😰😰😰😱😱
WOW!! I literally gasped TWICE. Such a shame....
so so sorry for you
not even my 20y old bag does that, and it’s lambskin not caviar…this gets more and more insane and im sure that wouldnt had happen if karl would still be there. he would never release such a bad quality item!
It’s not the same without Karl 😔
Lambskin from the 90s does not have to be babied. It gets better with age.
@@catnip4587 its also better, thicker and sturdier in general than it is nowdays
Yeah Karl would never put his name to subpar products, nor would Coco, they had more pride in their creations
My Palm Springs mini (new model) started peeling and I didn’t even want to reach out to my SA out of fear. It’s ridiculous to feel this way with any luxury house brand. They’re billion dollar companies, and them replacing a $3000 bag is like pennies to them. I’m taking it to repairs! I don’t care, customer service for lower brands that are not even luxury deal with customers better!
What have they done with quality control if any at all? I don't get how Chanel is allowing this to happen 😱
I hope my LV items will hold bec I just started buying last year so they're newly made and I have the same fear😨!

I wouldn’t be afraid of an SA, LV at least did a product recall on a whole bag, I don’t see Chanel doing it for the 22
The damage on your bag after three days of using it is shocking. Thankfully I haven't bought a Chanel bag this year, and now I probably will not. This quality issue is so disappointing. The problem with the ready to wear is also disappointing.
Can’t believe people pay that kind of money for such a tiny tiny bag!!
Channel don’t care because you are still spending money on other channel items.

Haven’t bought any CC handbags since 2019 after Lagerfeld’s passing. Sticking to some rtw, shoes and some cj for now til I see improvement on qc in all dept.
Unbelievable 😱. It seems to be the coating but, I agree, what kind of leather is underneath?
Dear Dacob,
I‘ m so sorry for you. But I think KL knew that grave robbers are coming , hence his gorgeous egypt show. End of an era of preserving everything CC stands for. Allegedly…😔

Wow that cracking is so real….even my 30 year old vintage Chanel don’t hv such crack…but sure they will replace the strap for you for free
Even cheap leather goods from H&M don’t crack/peel like that… and what’s underneath?? This can’t be real leather! 😱 SHOCKING! I’m a Gucci girl myself, and all my Gucci bags have really high quality, durable leather. Never had an issue.
EXACTLY!!!!!!!!!! even leather H&M bags don't crack like that and YES Gucci's quality is better!!

Yeah there are other luxury brands that don’t have quality issues

I’d maybe look into vintage bags?

As far as ppl still buy those low quality items HQ won't address and work to fix the major issue 💔💔💔
It could be "Genuine Leather" you know like on Chinese bags.
This is so sad, I know you have a genuine affection for the brand and it’s history and founder, it’s not that easy. Like my recent challenges with Fendi, I’ve learned it’s only one way and, like you say, many critics and outside commentators have an opinion on how smart or stupid we are.
I’m sorry about your bag and I hope you get a better solution than those you’ve named x
Yeah Dacob genuinely loves Chanel and Coco, but the brand isn’t what it was, and people have to wake up to it
Totally sucks that happened but look forward to seeing what new bags you are venturing out to buy
Oh no this is terrible. I am feeling your pain Dacob. You have beautiful pieces in your collection to cherish. Keep your love alive for old school Chanel from iconic Coco and Karl days. Sadly those days seem to be gone from quality perspective but we can still love and admire pieces of that era. Like works of art lol 😭 I love Chanel perfume too I have two fragrances… hopefully they will never change the formula!
So sorry Dacob, I know you have to be heart broken. We put so much love and money in our purchases and collections. It’s so sad that this happens :(
Dacob. Stop buying bags from a brand with obvious quality issues. They don't deserve your money at this point. They really don't.
Thank you for sharing this Dacob this is an important public service. I know you are broken hearted due to your long love for the brand. My heart goes out to you.
I'm so sorry Dacob! I know how much you love Chanel so the fact that you, of all people, are having this issue. No one that spends this amount of money should have to deal with what are basically defective products.
The fact that Chanel can't seem to get this right, yet I have friends that buy the 1:1 replicas and their replicas look like better quality than my newest real bag is really depressing.
When that picture popped up on the screen I literally shouted “OH H*ELL NO!” I was actually really interested in getting this bag after seeing it on your channel and thought it would be a safe bet. I will be keeping my money and my sanity now.
My 0 series classic flap has ONE Slightly pulled stitched… one. The bag is 40 years old and otherwise in perfect condition. These quality issues with new bags are absolutely ridiculous!
I'm so sorry about this. The cracking and peeling is shocking
I own vintage Chanel, but refuse to purchase anything new from the brand. I simply do not like the way they do business. I feel so bad when people say they are scared to complain about a purchase gone wrong. If the relationship is toxic you simple leave. Which is why Chanel don’t deserve me or my money. We deserve better!
Yeah I’d stay with vintage Chanel, the quality is better
That blows Dacob. They should either replace it or give you a credit. All of these luxury brands qualify control issues is just terrible.
The fact that a sales assistant (and they are sales assistants) are so rude to there customers. There customers keeping them in business.
Oh that’s really bad shame on Chanel.I’m so sorry for you and too hear this.I know they’re gonna hear from you let them have it.Enjoy the rest of your trip❤️
Chanel is like a girlfriend who keeps cheating on you - after the 2nd or 3rd time, you kick them out and you don’t have them back - it’s your time to say bye bye to them
Oh, No, Jacob...The Chanel Dream is Shattering right before our eyes on your channel!! 😥😢😭
Dacob, the close up!! Terrible. My heart breaks. I’m so sorry.
Omg I'm so sorry Dacob! It seems like loving them isn't enough, because we have to accept its huge flaws in quality and make now. And that's just simply unacceptable!
I’m so sad for you. It really sucks. And it’s awful you can already predict what’s going to happen when you return it. That it’s going to suck too! The repair is going to suck. Ahhhh I get so pissed off thinking about it. I currently only have two Chanel bags and sold some others but I’m glad none of them ever had issues. There is no way I’m buying anything ever again hearing all this. 😡😡 love ya Dacob.
Omg I can relate!!! I recently bought a Chanel bag from their 22A collection & the leather strap between the chains is cracking too. So disappointed with Chanel.
It’s not just the quality of the “leather” is bad. The workmanship is also bad (regardless of made in Italy or made in France). I have wanted a square mini forever, but they were never in stock. The other day I finally saw one in stock, and it is made in France. But the shape is just not regular and seams are visibly off. It doesn’t even feel like a “luxury” bag. I couldn’t bring myself to pay $4000+ for the piece of crap
Yeah maybe look preloved?
Oh my heart is so broken with this 💔 We are to pay and buy our happiness and not to get devastated. Ohhh Dacob, I feel you. 😒 Sending love 💕
Oh Dacob, my heart is breaking for you. It’s devastating when yr beloved brand has quality issues & I agree, stay away fr the bag section. Could you possibly ask for a “credit note” rather than what may be a “sub-par” repair fr yr S/A? On a positive note absolutely love yr VW brooch. Keep smiling life’s too short to worry about material items. My late Mum used to say “don’t worry about if”if’s & an’s, pots & pans whatever will be, will be”. Really hope you get “Spring” sorted out ASAP too. Cyber hugs my friend. 🏳️🌈😘
I'm so sorry this happened to you, Dacob. I don't think these issues have anything to do with where the bags are made, and everything to do with the raw materials the artisans are given. And I still say this is split leather vs composite, but who knows, really.
Sorry to hear about the issue you have with your SLG. I had the exact same issue back in 2020 with a seasonal red caviar bucket bag and I used it once. It was such a nightmare to get a voucher but I did it in the end (post return period). I hope you manage to get a resolution from Chanel. It saddens me because I love the designs but the quality does not seem to be up to standard anymore.
Yes be kind, we loved this brand for so long.
Instead of a lengthy Chanel repair (I really hope they offer you different options!) you had issues with before you could always have a third party artisan replace the leather in the chain.
Oh no! I am so sorry you had to experience this Dacob. I want to say I am disappointed but why am I not?Disappointment has set in for a while now. I am disheartened. I think I have stopped living in the fantasy that Chanel is still Chanel… With all these defects coming out, the price increases, and the implementation of purchase limits to regular Chanel lovers I have definitely been turned off. Letting go is hard…the struggle is definitely real. I confronted my SA so much from all the defects I got… my SA has been good about it but sometimes I feel that more and more I get reasons like oh that’s how the leather is. Yes! Stand up for what is right, say something if it is wrong, this is what I always tell my children. We all need to stand together and STOP buying. So far my contribution is not purchasing from 22 A and on… I know it’s just a few collections but hey it is a beginning! I was hoping to score one more last one (words of a chanel addict) from 22A but that didn’t happen so I really told myself, NOT MEANT TO BE!! Move ON…. So where shall we move on to Dacob!? This is a great topic that I have seen others discuss but have not listened or read about since I wasn’t completely ready. I would love to see a video on Moving on from Chanel! As always great content. Love you! 😘🤗♥️
So sorry for you. Think even the pumpkin in the back has better quality
This is so awful. I hope Chanel sees this and takes care of you! Can talk about vintage Chanel and if you might go that route? I wish you the best of luck with resolving this! ❤ xoxo
Thank you so much 🙏🏻💖
My Goood, Dacob….I just saw the close up…despicable..that must not be even leather… there are fumes coming out if Coco’s grave…
Hi Dacob, which brand do you think it's worth buying after moving on from Chanel? Btw, support support on your decision from not buying Chanel leather goods, they really need to improve their quality before asking consumers to pay tons of money. This is unfair to the amount of money spent in return.
That is just heartbreaking. I'm so sorry. I agree, spending so much money and getting such low quality time after time, it's time to move on. Great video, but such a terrible reason. 💔
Everyone is saying Bvlgari serpenti bags have leather like old chanel. Just bought my 2nd Bvlgari bag (cabochon with the snake head and grained leather not the smooth archived serpenti head) thier quality is true luxury. I have my chanel 19 and I'm completely done with chanel bags. The quality and prices of chanel is a shame, i can't believe they care so little about their customers.
I'm sorry this has happened. I know you really loved this bag!
OMG, I was thinking of getting a WOC, I am afraid of getting it now.
ahh Dacob im so sorry. I totally understand its not that easy, it takes a few hits before you finally come to realisation. Ferragamo is my favourite brand, and if I imagine quality going down and being treated poorly there would break my heart.
enjoy the pieces of Lagerfeld...and stay hopeful for the future...
Oh nooooo, sorry to hear this my love. 🤯😢😘😘😘Sandy
Omg I'm so shocked!!!! The last bags i have from them are from 2021... and i haven't even been in the boutique since then... but WTH!!!! 🤯🤯🤯
Its a mess
Ooooooo! Message from “The universe…!” Looks like this relationship is not working.
Hi, I am new to your channel. Very interesting ! I recently went to a Chanel store and I wanted to purchase a 2.55. The flap was not aligned: higher on one side than on the other. I told the SA I could not buy it with that! Then I tried a lambskin timeless and I was also disapointed with the lambskin leather quality. It wasn‘t smooth like butter. I wanted a „made in France“ 2.55 and now I think I will go for a pre-loved altough „made in Italy“. What do you think about this? Lambskin is supposed to feel like butter ?
Im so sorry my dear Dacob this sucks
It all looks like a scary movie with name Chronicles of Broken Chanel bags 🙈 so sorry. Thank you for your videos ❤️
welcome to Melbourne Dacob! Enjoy your stay!
Thank you dear 🙏🏻💖
I'm sorry it happened again to you, knowing how much you love the house. I was about to buy my first Chanel bag this year and after all the horror stories, I've decided to buy Hermes, instead.
Yeah Hermes doesn’t have quality issues
I'm so sorry Dacob. This is unbelievable!
Thank you 🙏🏻😭
Coco's legacy is dead and gone. The constant price increases, the severe decline in quality, the terrible customer service, and don't think we didn't forget about them taking down your instagram. The higher ups at Chanel know there is no such thing as bad PR, so that gives them the freedom to do anything they want, and any criticism of them only increases their popularity. It's very much the Kardashian™ effect. The only real way to voice your dissatisfaction is to stop giving them your time and attention.
Personally, I would love to see you featuring other designers and houses. I would love to see other brands like Moynat, Bvlgari, Celine, *WESTWOOD*, coperni, courrèges, instead of the typical chanel, LV, hermes. I think it's more important to give the spotlight to more deserving and better quality brands.
A little variety in bands would be nice for a change.
Great comment
Bulgari bags are fantastic
I’m so sorry! I was already done but now I’m extra done done and don’t even care to look at their new stuff. Shameful
Ohh no , i am so sorry 😏 now i will check all of mine chains 🤔. Also the earrings are a Problem too 😥😥😥.
Greetings from Germany 😚.
😘💖🌈 greetings dear
My God. Three days? That is absolutely terrible. I'm sorry. At least, Tabatha is still treating you well.
This is so sad.. better to just go vintage or preloved because you know the quality was better before if it survived years already of being used or even stored :(
Wow it doesn’t look like leather! I have the 22C pink CF & there’s a mark on the inside of the flap because the hardware is tarnishing & staining the bag. I’d have to send it back to Paris to have it serviced but they don’t know if the discoloured leather can be fixed🙄
Welcome to 🇦🇺 I have not purchased a bag or small leather goods since Karl died. So sorry to hear this
Thank you Susie 🙏🏻💖🌸
I can’t believe it!! So sad! Do you think this will become widely known and will the brand lose its clients and credibility???
Such a shame, especially when you love the brand!! Heartbreaking 💔 Really hope the quality improves soon!!
Ugh so sorry to hear about this. So not buying any handbags from that house :(
I’m so sorry, Dacob. As someone who loves luxury I absolutely sympathize, this is so wrong.
Ugh Chanel is cutting corners and turning into fast fashion. How are they not embarrassed by their quality👎
Hi Dacob. I have made the difficult decision of not buying any leather SLGs nor bags anymore until they fix their quality. I will stick with shoewear, jewelry, sunglasses and any earrings or necklaces that catch my eye in the fashion jewelry department.
I think i understand why its Hard to leave a brand you have Loves so much. Its like living in a bad relation. There is Good thing you hang in to and Then you have THE bad things in THE other Bowl. But i am not sure you cant leave THE bags so easy from Chanel. There Will come a bag that you Will Love to grab your paws on.
Hasn’t happened to me ever since last year with this tiny red bag from this video. So its been almost a year and a half now that I have not bought another cc leather bag. And was also not tempted really.
My friend is like you. She can’t move on fr Chanel . She been telling us all Chanel quality is bad and after sale customer service is shiiity . Last mth she was at rue cambon and she bought a 22 bag 😂 I showed her your videos on the bad quality and now she is trying to sell it 😂
Cant you claim against Chanel with your credit card??
I stopped buying brand new chanel already.i saw the green mini square brand new from a seller with a scuff on the corners already.brand new from store.
Oh Dacob!! Oh WOW!! I just purchased a few test pieces on pre- loved. I was so geared up to go all the way with Chanel until I've seen what's happened to you! I just hate it!! And from what I've seen with Chanel leather looking @ pre - loved with all of the crackly leather & deflated yaaazzzz deflated quilting but omg!!! WTW?!! On a brand new piece? No, I don't care how long you've had or how much you've used it you are still due quality equal to the price!!! Take note Chanel!! My dollars won't b coming your way anytime soon!!
