    I have stopped purchasing from Chanel for a few years now. Their aesthetics no longer strike me as classic, and I can’t be bothered to worry about their quality issues… happy with my four flap bags. I do wish they would deliver better quality products across the board.. luxury is all in the quality details, IMO. I feel sometimes consumers make excuses to accept the faulty details just to own a Chanel. However, for me the brand doesn’t carry the same weight as before, no matter how high the price tag may be.

    I have the small in black and since watching Romina and Dacob’s videos, I took mine out of the closet and began using her every day just to see how it would wear. Like yours, I have no issues thus far. My stitches also run over the edge to where the chains rub over them but there’s no wear whatsoever yet. Like you said, I have enjoyed using mine everyday as it really is super easy! Thank you for sharing your update.

    I'm so pleased to hear that your bag isn't showing any adverse signs of either wear or bad workmanship.
    I do believe that the high quality standards Chanel were renowned for, has slipped a little. My grandma had two Chanel purses that, had you felt/held, are very different to today's purses - even down to the hardware! But, I suppose, everything was much different back then.
    Much love 🧡💜🧡

    Michele, I have also found that the way bags are treated with colors makes a difference. If bags are drum dyed with color, they tend to not wear as badly as opposed to spray painted. Hopefully the Chanel bags are drum dyed. I own both types and the spray painted bags do not hold up as well. I have donated all of my spray-painted bags.

    It's essentially a drawstring bag and drawstring do have weak points due to its function. The constant weight, pulling and rubbing of that chain will eventually cause the leather to wear. It's too soft a material to be a drawstring
    I'm suprised Chanel released this style of handbag, seeing as how they are a classic brand..its giving very moschino, which I do LOVE but Chanel and Moschino are two very different tastes. I really dont think Chanel will be keeping her as a staple and I see this one flooding the resell markets.

    • @danielle2661
      @danielle2661 2 роки тому +1

      That's what I've been saying. It's just a bad design for the type of materials and price. The drawstring design with the heavy chains and heavy leather is bound to wear the bag no matter how little you carry in it. And it's a handbag, you should be able to carry a decent amount and not have to worry. I don't want to yuck anyone's yum, but this bag design is terrible. I don't get what people see in it. It reminds me of a dust bag that an actual bag come in. Just a drawstring sack. It's a big ol' shrug from me.

    I don’t buy Chanel bags as they’ve rarely appealed to me but I have had quality issues with high end bags. First a Chloe that became discolored unused! Net-a-porter gave me credit for it almost a year after I bought it. I also had 2 Valentino bags where the handles peeled apart. The Valentinos were due to the soft thin leather. I have too many Valentino bags and the others are all beautifully made. Valentino replaced the first bag but the replacement also ended up having the same issue. They seem to have discontinued the style now.

    I think it depends on whether the person carries heavy stuff. The heavier the bag, the more pressure against the leather when the chain is rubbing against it as the person moves and walks. For most bags, the strap is attached to a ring which is affixed to the bag, that helps distribute the weight. For this bag, it’s just the chain pulling against the leather to support the bag. I think you can tighten/loosen the bag a little, like a drawstring mechanism. If you constantly tighten or loosen the chain drawstring, the chain rubs more against the leather, scratching or misshaping it.

    • @accesstotheredcarpet

      Not necessarily true though. Super Dacob wore his for not more than 30 minutes to the supermarket with very minimal stuff in his bag and it was falling apart on him. And the paint on the leather rubbed off on his shirt. He was just making a quick trip to the store. Not to the beach with all the junk to carry. And It was a less than a week when he purchased his bag. Keep in mind, we’re talking about $5,000 to $7,000 dollar bag. Not some cheap bag you guy at Forever 21. The leather bag is thick and sturdy with strength consistency and quality. They are designed to withstand good amount of weight and wear. That being said, If you’re going to splurge an arm and leg, and people that are buying luxury for that price should expect high quality. Not some BS quality with bags falling apart in matter of hours and days after purchase. It’s Chanel hello!

    I suspect that the drawstring design really doesn’t work for more treated leathers (metallized on seems less malleable than yours). Super Dacobs might be painted differently since it does have a much brighter color and is shinier so it’s more treated than the black or beige. I’ve heard it’s happening on the original models, but it seems to be the more treated leathers that are having the most problems.
    I do wonder if it would have been better to have some kinda of cloth in the loop to protect the leather more.

After watching the videos I took the effort to wrap the chain inside and near the corners with tissue paper. Probably the size makes a difference like you noted and the weight also.

    Quality of designer items is no where near what it should be for the price. I bought a Chanel wallet about 15 years ago and within the first few weeks it buckled and Chanel exchanged it and it happened again and they would not change it or get it fixed for me at all. I get a Prada one soon after and it has never been an issue and I’ve been using it since.

    No , not really into super-branded luxury handbags that cost the earth . I prefer less known, very well made bags, that have style but don't break the bank. Have worked in fashion all my life, and appreciate the smaller vintage Chanel classic bags but one is enough. A lot of the Chanel bags look matronly (to me of course) and when paired with a fun COS dress...eeeeehhh...not so fun anymore... just .very. luxury. Mall. ladies. who. shop.
    Michele , I love to watch your videos for your smart, savvy, stylish, intelligent self with a great sense of humour Just love the lifestyle Mich-mas series and the "best of" videos...But lately there's a feeling of makeup over-over-consumption, having to have each and every colour in a line when you won't use them. and have to throw them away in a year or 2...The makeup info on new products coming out is priceless and done in an intelligent, informative way that I very much appreciate..but you don't need to keep or buy everything...life is too just too dam* short..... my personal feeling only of course

    Chanel has some sales savvy with this bag. This bag is a one-season bag, looking it’s best new. I could see that the first time I saw the bag, it’s not a workhorse staple. The one-season look is the real status aspect of it, who can afford to buy a Chanel that looks good for one year? That’s the financial distinction between people who save and save to buy one classic flap, versus a person who can just go buy a new one every few months.

I think it’s great that we post our updates so that people can make an informed decision. The caramel 22 is so nice! I got to try it on and was tempted. But I’ve already got a medium coral pink and I love it for summer! There is speculation that perhaps this may not be full leather, but I hope that isn’t the case. I’m still tempted by the black 🫣

Returned. Same issues. Wearing away of leather. Discoloration. Etc. they dont care at all. Suggested I spend more on a different kind of leather bag they had. Nope! I know stick to more basic sturdy styles from moderately priced brands. Its sad that even luxury companies have this problem and it keeps me from considering their products. I hope they make it right for those w problem bags.

    Chanel 22 looks like a garbage bag to me! I couldn’t believe that Chanel would come out with such a ugly bag, I owe some Chanel bags and I love them. Over the years Chanel’s craftsmanship and quality has changed dramatically in a bad way.

    Every review I’ve heard on this bag has awful you’re the first to go a positive review. Enjoy your bag, I’m going to pass.

    Go to Super Dacob UA-cam if y’all haven’t already. He covered a lot about this. He had the same bag that was falling apart and on his UA-cam he invited 3 panelists in the discussions about Chanel 22 bag. One girl is a larger specialist expert. Go check it out please.
