CHANEL UNBOXING (ALL OF IT'S FAULTY!!) | Chanel Bag Collection & SS21 Unboxing
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 лют 2025
- Chanel SS21 collection unboxing (ended-up being really disappointing). Due to lockdowns in the UK since Nov 2020 now, we've been having to do mail order on everything. I'd never have bought these two items if I'd seen them in the boutique, the quality is so, so, so poor. They look like bad replicas.
I also include here a Chanel handbag collection including Trendy CC, Coco Top Handle, Boy and Classic Flap.

I absolutely love that you’re one of the few that demand high quality in luxury. We cannot be blinded by brand name. Luxury is about exclusivity, craftsmanship/quality and design.
I absolutely agree with you! This is why I would never buy any handbag at this price. There are way to many other exclusive, extremely well made and designed products out there, for which I do not have to pay these ridiculous prices. No need for this brand stamp especially if the quality is not as one would expect!
The sad thing is that these brands used to represent these things. I have bags from 20 years ago that still look amazing. They were made for life. Now, I am shocked at the horrible quality. No new bags for me. I'm into the vintage market. ☺️
@@quorrakai I will only shop vintage luxury because these pieces are made for consumption now, not for durability and life long wear anymore and it's sad. They want you to buy more trying to keep up.😒
Ahh, it’s unreal this terrible quality. Both items are being returned today and I am expecting the “it’s handmade, that’s why” gag 😂😂😂😂xx
@@SophieShohetOfficial yes! I've just seen a youtuber coming up with this exact excuse. And her silver micro vanity was even worse then yours.
The bags you opened that were defective looked like the bags you get for free when you purchase a certain amount of makeup at the department store
They look like cheap toy bags...
I just said the same. Wow. Just shameful!
Like the VIP items!
You're right hahaha 😂 😂
Facts
And they have the audacity to increase the prices 😂 How can you increase the prices without justifying it with exclusive quality? It‘s a luxury brand, this is embarrassing. 🙈
Exactly the price on the bags is usually higher in price do the brand name and the craftsmanship!
That's appauling quality's. Which Chanel shop did you buy it from?
They justify it because no matter the shoddy quality or ridiculous price increases, people keep buying whatever they sell. That's the sad part. Label-hungry people with fear of missing out.
10 years rest for Chanel bag for
Me too for these new ones insane sadness
Agreed - the prices are on ridiculous scales now. The unboxed items in this video I was shocked by!xx
“It looks counterfeit.” 🤣 The truth is savage.
😂 true 🤣
I agree lol, it does look like it!
You probably get much better quality counterfeits. Maybe that's how we'll spot fakes in the future, the stitching is straight so it can't be real!
I’ve seen better quality fakes advertised on Instagram! 😂😂😅xxx
@@amyr8526 OMG! That’s what my friend told me about Prada many years ago 😅😅 if your bag broke after few uses, congrats your bag is real 🤣🤣🤣
I am astonished! Please report back as to what the SA says when you return those pieces.
Agree, this is unacceptable for the brand and is the insult for consumers
Awful quality! Seriously, I’d be returning them as well.
Yes please do. Ty
Here's what they will say: "it's all handmade, it's normal"
I’ve been saying this for ages. I was in the Chanel store on Sloane street before the lockdown in November and honestly half the bags look like fakes because of bad stitching, unsymmetrical lines and stitching, scratches on bags. It’s absurd. Don’t know why anyone would spend money on Chanel.
And that awful brass hardware? Saw that on a cream mini-flap in London Heathrow. Couldn't bring myself to buy it. Looked cheap honestly. And I felt stupid and shallow if I bought it feeling that way.
lots of people also buy on second hand market and the quality is amazing when you got the right sellers/consignment store
Vintage with 24K gold hardware is so much better than the current hardware they have
Definitely vintage is the way to go I think. Those 80s/90s bags (even all these years later) look beautiful quality xxx
Completely agree with the above. Chanel is not what it used to be, neither are a lot of designer brands, in terms of quality. I think this has been exacerbated by the social media times we live in and these high end designers have basically become fast fashion in quality which continuously upping their prices. They’re completely taking advantage of this insane psychological state people are in, largely due to social media, of constantly needing new and “flexing”.
I think Chanel will lose desirability over the next decade if they don’t sort out the quality issues
Exactly! How much are you willing to pay for something that lacks quality? Just because some people think they buy a ‘status’ the prices goes up madly. Nobody needs 20 Chanel bags or Hermes.. Now if they accuse you of carrying a fake after you’ve spent like £4000 plus 😂😂😂👍👍👍 Money should be spent on a quality else its a fake even if it comes from ‘Chanel’ due to its poor quality and stitching noone is gonna know you’ve spent £4k on a bag as it doesn’t look like!!
I’m male and never shopped there but I heard their customer service leaves a lot to be desired too
and their snobbery issues!
Absolutely!! It's disgusting how they have cheapened the quality yet raised prices.
100% they will. I find especially annoying that they try to get to Hermès level but honestly, how? How with that horrible quality.
Sophie I was floored by the blatant imperfections, I cannot believe chanel is letting these bags pass thru to sales. Unbelievable, they need to revamp their quality control
Seems like there’s no quality control lol
@@ZigZigAh ya probably not lol
I nearly didn’t show the unboxing due to embarrassment 😭 but then I thought.... hang on, why am I embarrassed, it’s not like I made the stuff 😂xxx
@@SophieShohetOfficial that's right Sophie, im glad you showed us because now I will keep my eye out everytime I shop any designer brands
Chanel is really taking the piss out of those small bags/SLGs. If I were you I would return them if possible. Love your videos, as always. Have a lovely Sunday everyone!🥰
Hey Frida! It’s going back today after work, I’m expecting the “it’s handmade and that’s why” line 😂😂😂xxx
Omg I am completely star struck that you answered my comment, thank you! 😍
@@SophieShohetOfficial they always have an explanation!! Instead of them trying to come up with excuses they should sell PERFECT items. If something looks like that don’t try to sell it!
Omg... Im so sorry hun.. Thats so disappointing coming from Chanel.. Im glad you showed us this though, it really shows how far down the quality of the bags have gone..
Thank you for your honest and real revieuw! I see alot of youtubers praising this bag! And what one of the influencers side is that the SA told her is that because of that the bag is so tiny they cant have the stitching right and they are ‘imperfect flaws’! I really thought OMG!! People believe this nonsense and buy the mini bags because they are from Chanel.. Chanel should be ashamed of themselves to even sell them to begin with!
Yep Chanel and LV like to say garbage like "oh all the bags are handmade so there's going to be variation, that's a feature, not a flaw."
Sophie that Chanel wrist thing looks like an ankle bracelet for people on day release. You have dinky little wrists and that thing is just massive. Take a look at the Vuitton one which seems less hefty.
😆🤣😂
OH NO not the monitor cuff 🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣
@Phia - OMG that’s hilarious!😂😂😂😂 Chanel X Asbo collab 🤣xxx
This is why I’m buying vintage more and more, the quality was so much better back in the day!
Agree!
Exactly what I do and many people I know (and it is not about the price!). But I‘m not a huge Chanel fan when it comes to the bags, clothes is a different matter.
Absolutely! Showing my age but I have bags from 15 to 20 years ago from LV, Gucci, Fendi etc. They still look amazing. They were made to last back then. My LV wallet I bought in 1999 looks new and I use it everyday. I've heard quality horror stories from the new stuff. It's really sad. The powers that be at these brands are destroying the names and legacies.
@@quorrakai yes!! Vintage Louis Vuitton and new Louis Vuitton are nothing alike... I’ve bought many new Louis products and the canvas is so thin, never holds its shape, the stitching is awful but my older ones are some of the best items I own.
@@cianbrennan1146 Totally!! I am loving the hunt of finding vintage pieces that I had and gave away ( really dumb lol) or bags I never bought! It's so sad about the new products. It doesn't seem special anymore. And the fact they are so cheap when it comes to quality. The founders would be rolling in their graves! And is it just me, or are the new collections really tacky and kinda empty? I miss Gucci when they had Tom Ford. And Chanel will never be the same without Karl.
Sewing zippers can be pretty difficult, especially on small bags, but sheesh, you’d expect they’d employ very high skilled folks that can manage to do this without issues. These look like my first few attempts at sewing! Unbelievable 😕
Yeah, a seasoned person ought to have mastered the skill. I sew very infrequently but even then after a few attempts I get the hang of whatever I’m making or doing. What’s up with Chanel? Yikes!
@Carolin That’s hilarious! 😂xx
Chanel quality is now below that of the high quality counterfeits.
Totally agree. I have real bags but I also have fakes. And honestly, my faux Chanel looks WAYYYY better than those! I'm buying vintage these days for this very reason 👍
In the past you could tell fakes because their quality was bad....
Now you can tell fakes because they are superior to the real thing 🤣🤣xx
😂😂😂👏🏼
@@SophieShohetOfficial looool so true
@@garnwalkerstables hi, where do you buy your fakes from?
Has anyone seen a baby shoe or clothing item executed so well you wonder how they managed to put those little parts together? It can be done, pay the right people to do it. Those two items look like they were made in a sweatshop somewhere.
Yes, my daughter’s Christening gown, sewn by my mother (20 years ago). It’s perfect. My mother is no longer with us, sadly, so it holds a lot of sentimental value. By the way she wouldn’t accept any money for it.
@@Karen-ve6ds Oh that's both terribly sweet and heartbreaking 😭
Or doll sized things!!! Astonishing craftsmanship on those tiny miniature items
Great points!!!xx
I enjoyed watching this video cause you can tell when an accomplished person of integrity has an objective approach throughout unboxing. It takes some honesty and courage also, for posting this video. Thank you Sophie! ❤💎
That’s lovely feedback, thank you my friend! Xx
As someone who has sewn for years, what happened to that silver bag is an amateur mistake. Happened to me at the beginning when I didn't care about straight lines.😔 Really no care was put into the quality of the item.
Honestly, after 1 year of sewing, I made better quality items than that.
This is great info, thank you for sharing. I definitely think this one was a practice one or something and should t have gone on sale 😂xxx
Totally agree, I would nevertheless anyone psy for something I made if it looks like that. That is seriously poor
I haven’t bought their bags in years from a store. The vintage bags or just even 10yrs ago, are so much better.
That quality is really poor, however it will still sell because of the brand... unfortunately some heritage brands can let standards slip and die hard fans will carry on buying because they won't call them out ..well done Sophie ,they can't get away with it.
I'm just going to say it... Chanel has become a fast fashion. Gabriel Chanel would have been ashamed 😕😪😐
Chanel with shein quality.
She is definitely rolling in her grave rn
Agreed! It's so bad. Now it's just a name. I've only bought from the vintage collections, where they used to gold plate the chain and when I compare my 20yr old bag, to that of other's my friends have bought more recently, the wear quality is so surprising.
@@sleepysartorialist With the nazis she supported.
@@saraheeeeeee4552 I was going to say the same exact thing!
That happened to me in 2020 and when I brought it back they’re acting like they don’t see it but I’m sure they just sell it to someone that doesn’t pay attention to the details but when I buy luxury everything has to be perfect because you’re spending a lot of money.
I’m expecting that today Marsha!!! I’m fully prepped for the “can’t see the problem” convo 😅xx
Sorry Sophie is too much I don’t see issues with some of what Sophie shows
@@zuzanna1456 I mean, wonky zips and sides that don’t line up are kind of not right though! Xx
Sophie always tells the truth! I think she's the only one, who makes honest luxury videos, so if anyone will tell me again, that an unboxing video or fashion video is boring, I will highly recommend her videos! Thank you Sophie again! :)
Oh that’s lovely feedback! Thank you Alexandra, and for watching!🙏🏽xx
Chanel doesn't care because plenty of people still buy regardless. Also its main competitor for handbangs and SLGs is probably LV, who has also had quality issues, so they don't need an urgent need to improve.
Hi just had to comment ... I'm a straight guy who is not into bags but there is something so satisfying in watching you present and talk so well and with such insight into your subject. The points you make regards practicality, design and actual finish quality against expectation for price are again bang on the button. Sadly your findings and criticisms are to true across the many areas of luxury high end finishing .. Tailoring, shoe making etc. Really enjoy your points and presentations. Thank you.
Thank you for this very true representation of what one can expect from Chanel these days! They have jacked up their prices and lowered, in some cases, dramatically, the quality of what you’re purchasing! The last Chanel I bought was the 2020 cruise exactly like your 2019 with the beautiful chunky handle. I do not anticipate buying any new products from Chanel in the foreseeable future!
Finally there have a blogger to review Chanel truthfully.....thanks! I used to be Chanel fans. There is no denying that their quality started to go downhill. However I don’t think they will improve as their sales record is still keeping a peak. I already stopped buying their bags for (more than) 2 years....
WOW 😳 another reason why I'll stick with vintage Coach and Hermes. Chanel seem to think they're in the same league as Hermes while vintage Coach bags are even better in quality! I've stopped purchasing "luxury" bags a few years ago when quality left and prices kept rising. Now if I want a luxury brand which I don't but if I did I would definitely purchase it pre-loved vintage. So sorry this happened to you Sophia, return and get your money! Thanks for sharing this!
Believe or not, I have seen fakes are better made, bc they know ppl are looking for straight stitching, patterns alignment etc… they are more careful to make their fakes than chanel 🙃 I’m so sorry you have to experience this , what a let down, but I’m glad you speak the truth here💕
Right?! Me too.
That's exactly what I said. The counterfeiters care more!
£1300 for something that looks like it was made for Primark? (worse actually it would probably get reduced in there!) return it girl 😬
I have a small bag from primark the Stitching is perfect cost me £4 hahah
omg I was thinking the same lol
I got an LV pochette matis with stitching at the folds was off, i took it in, they looked at it and took it back right away and gave me full credit.
That's mildly infuriating. I agree, I can't believe someone thought it's okay to sell these bags. It's noticeable too. On another note, I love your outfit 💜
If I were the S.A, I personally wouldn’t want to be the person that sold this item to a customer 😂😂xx
The vibe/ambiance in your videos is just so relaxing Sophie, its really nice to watch😊
Wow. That’s disgusting. All the $$ goes to top management and social media influencers/celebrities/ambassadors
The classic flap does actually come in plain flat leather, however they’re INCREDIBLY rare and they usually only get a release every 5 or so years, and they’re VERY limited when they are released! They’re called the Pure Classic Flap and the last release was 2017, so they should be coming up again in the next couple years!😊
And yet many influencers are gonna be like “oh my goooosh I love it so muuuuch” when they are basically scammed.
I jumped on pre-loved with chanel while ago. They just lost it.
Most Influencer doesn't care about quality and don't look into detail like Sophie, they just want the brand.
I was soooo embarrassed when I opened it 😂 I’m not spending my hard earned on this stuff, if it looked like the pics on the website it wouldn’t have been so bad, but seriously this stuff is junk!xx
I don't know why the algorithm suggested this for me but I live: so many related issues, so much drama, so much study towards critics... lol I am over turning on the news and watching covid19 drama, I will watch this for a change! Thank you Sophie! Seriously: thank you.
Oh my goodness that is shocking! Interested to see what their response is. That should never have passed quality control.
Love seeing all your bags and honest reviews. Enjoy the rest of your weekend Sophie x
I love the honesty in your videos!
Omg those two Chanels at the end that you unboxed really look like gifts with purchase that you get when you buy perfume at Christmas. I was properly shocked.
I have seen perfectly straight stitching on fast fashion bags from Winners or Marshall’s. The stitching on Coach bags that I have is flawless. Considering Chanel prices, this low quality of workmanship should never have left the factory. So disappointing! Another great video. You look fabulous!
It's hard enough trying to get someone to answer queries at Chanel and to see them sending out these items is disappointing!
Chanel customer service is ridiculous. dior is much much better in this.
@@katarina5651 chanel are not allowing new customers :L they don't want my money
Same happening at LV. I just assume keep my money. It's insulting to beg people to allow you buy shabby quality material all for the logo on it.
@@stephaniebarbour2315 consider yourself lucky! Shoddy craftsmanship! I would save until you can afford Hermes!
They haven’t been answering the phones since I’ve been trying in early March 😂xx
Hi Sophie,
LOVE YOU IN PASTEL VIOLET! Looks so great with the pastel banana bag!!!
....LOVE the trendy (the Chanel bag I'll buy one day, as I feel its edgy but classic) but also love your bag at 6.50 (didn't catch the name) and the spring summer play on the mini in white - just adorable!!!! I am buying my first first-hand chanel purchase tomorrow!!!! I will show you when I pick it up, I can't wait xxxxx have a fab weekend you lovely lady.
Monica

Hearing why the bucket bag was created makes me want one way more than I did before. A bag to carry my champagne?! Yes, please! 🍾
Me too, what a life!😅xx
I've had the SAME experience when I purchased a lambskin wallet where the stitching was not straight and did not match the other side. When I returned it the sales associate said "all of these items are handmade so you should expect slight imperfections" - *eye roll*. I'm glad I'm not the only one who has had this experience.
Honestly couldn’t take my eyes off what looked like a massive scratch on the wrist bag... goodness me! I hope you get your money back Sophie! :)
I know, I hope they don’t think I did it! 😂😅xx
You shouldn’t do! Honestly over the lockdown its changed the way we are all shopping, they should give you a refund as it’s unacceptable to send an item out... with a massive scratch! 😂 coming from an SA... if they don’t help, they need help! Xx
appreciated the chanel boy bag review - i've had this bag on my wishlist for years, but all the things you pointed out as issues are the same things that have stopped me from purchasing!
You get better stitching on small bags in Primark, frankly.
When I like something from Chanel these days, I stop myself and go look at YSL to see what they have that is similar. Honestly the quality of YSL is better in my opinion, and the prices far more reasonable.
Damn, I’ve got $15 makeup cases from the drugstore and a small travel jewelry case (both w the same structure as the silver one, the latter being way tinier) that have better structure and craftsmanship than this! I just went to look at a few and none are sewn crooked or even nearly uneven as these 😕
fabulous video Sophie. As usual you tell it like it is and we appreciate it so much.
When you said that it looked like someone was practicing when they made that bag 😂😂😂
It’s like when you make pancakes, the first one always goes in the bin 😂xx
Having a second thought 💭 with brands like Chanel !
I love your honest review
Thanks 🙏🏼
This is so sad. Thank you Sophie for this video. We should all demand the best when we’re spending our hard earned money. I emailed them about the little silver bag 3x. No response. I’m not sure what chanel thinks of themselves these days, but they attitude to peoples money is absolutely appalling. They don’t deserve it.
Im glad youre posting these types of videos, keeps me from wasting a dime on these extra pricey brands 🤷🏽♀️
😲 Eeek! That's pretty bad quality, if we can even call it that. I can't believe Chanel would send that to you. It looks like something one would find in an outdoor market in Asia. So sorry Sophie. You must've been so looking forward to these. 😧
The “wow” after mentioning why Louis Vuitton created the bucket bag got me 😂❤️
Love your videos! Your voice is absolutely soothing to me. Can’t wait to see more!
Champagne bag 😂 he was living the dream lol xx
Good Afternoon Sophie ♥️ oof quality control fail 😬
Hello my friend!!xx
Great video! Thank you for showing us how you inspect your bags and what kind of quality you expect. I'm sorry that the bags are disappointing, but so grateful that you shared with us.
Omg they’ve done it. They’ve proven their own brand is unworthy of its price tag😂 I wanna know if other people have had malfunctions in their products from that collection. Great video!
Great video Sophie! My two teens even sat and watched with me:) Can not believe the quality of those two pieces you unboxed! It was shocking. Always enjoy your videos- you have such a calm, pleasant voice to listen to.
Demand has gotten so high for items that they no longer have the time nor the care to put into their items. I noticed this on several items when I was last at Saks. I would expect those kind of bags at an outlet not shipping out and that said I've gotten absolute beautiful Coach bags at their outlet that were full leather and gorgeous.
And the coach bags dont cost multiple months of mortgage! I've always liked the plain leather bags at coach, with not much branding on it!
@@sail253 I have an original tartan Poppy back before they sent the line to outlet. She is now 15 years old and is a beast. I used to use it as a bag for school so it's even had text books shoved inside. Not one crack in any leather, or zipper issues. Patricia Nash, Lucky, Fossil and Rebecca Minkoff have some of the best leather bags I've ever owned. The leather on my Patricia Nash tote is almost a 1/4 inch thick and built like my Tods leather bag and just keeps looking better with age, the same with the others yet I have Gucci, and Burberry that look far worse. For bags like Chanel, Dior, LV, etc... you are paying for the name, and design not necessarily for higher quality materials like you believe.
Sophie I am on my second WoC from 21S. It’s going back again for peeling. Out of 3 I’ve seen all were scuffed on the corners from their warehouse. I am not surprised you’ve had these issues and glad I am not the only one. I am glad you made a video on this cause people need to know that Chanel’s quality is going down hill.
I got a mini coco top handle for Christmas and I’m looking forward to being able to use it soon! Also, my classic flap is 30 plus years old and is a beauty 😍 x
These just need to be returned, they do look like cheap knock-offs!
I love high fashion and editorial, but I’m not really a luxury brand or even handbag lover. Within three minutes you’ve convinced me that the trendy cc is the kind of bag to splurge on that’s still an investment because of the sheer quality, utility, and well as timeless style of the bag…
And then I googled the price tag lmao. It’s worth more than I’ve ever spent on a car, I think I’ll stick to my Kmart bags and living vicariously through you all lol
Definately return them! Especially for the execution at that price range
Hello Sophie, great video as always. Just a comment. At the classic flap, the pocket behind the flap is not supposed to be used. The flap is fixed only with two stitches on the sides and thesese can break. They hold the whole structure of the bag. So just be careful using the pocket 😉
I bought some Chanel shoes and you can see the glue on the sides of the sole. 🥲 I think I’m only going to go vintage for Chanel.
Great review Sophie, I’ve been thinking about these two products especially the mini vanity but have been putting this off. You definitely need to check out the Dior mini vanity, it started on a really high price and seems to be reduced when chanel released theirs.
That was so disappointing... keep us updated on what their excuse was for making these two bags look so horribly made.
as a former employee at LV, I totally agree! luxury brands need to actually deliver a high-quality product! they keep raising the prices but NOTHING changes. The truth is that luxury brands like channel, LV, and Gucci have overproduced their products without actually pressing for quality control. As a result, instead of fixing the product and making sure it's up to standard, they create demand by withholding the product and saying "it's sold out". In actuality, there are way too many to justify the price the consumers pay for exclusivity.
Wow. Sounds weird but thank you for coaching us on these defects. I am new to luxury and I am not sure I would have the courage to return it.
Hi Sophie, loved the honesty of this video. I was wondering if you could do a capsule collection of bags you’d recommend - perhaps in staple colours? Black, neutrals etc and also at different price points for e.g. top high-end (Chanel, Hermes) to Coach? I know you’ve done a few on £1500 and under but would love to see a video integrating some of these points. Thank you!
That silver one looks awful. I'm a cosplayer and make my own costumes, and if I had made that silver one as part of a costume I'd be disappointed. Can't imagine how you feel having spent over 1,000 pounds on it.
1300 gbp for THAT?
I legit just bought a patent leather Lady Dior mini for 400 more. Pre-loved but perfect condition, box, dustbag and authenticity card included. And it's so, so beautifully made that I can see why it's worth so much money.
They used to be handmade, but now it's just assembly line quality due to the demand driven by social media and the disposable income of a specific demographic.
Exactly.
Your light yellow Chanel looks so gorgeous! I'd love to buy Chanel in some happy color like bright green... and omg those items you ordered: they look so cheap!!
I tried the Dior micro vanity case the other day at the boutique, definitely looks way better quality than the Chanel!
I wondered about that Tass!!! After I opened this stuff the Dior versions came to mind and I wondered if they’d be better. Dior quality is normally pretty good xx
this is extremely informative video. I am so glad someone is finally speaking out!
Omg, unacceptable lack of quality control. How disappointing, they raise prices like crazy while the quality goes down the toilet.
Everything aside, your outfit looks amazing. Serving us looks like a queen ❤️
Never find these kind of flaws with Coach, even their discount brand.
Oh Sophie, you have an amazing Chanel bag collection 😍. Because of the hyped up prices I’d resigned myself to not getting one, however you have made me want a Chanel bag all over again 😂. Love the Trendy and top handle ones the most. How disappointing for you to receive the 2 little bags so badly made. Thank you for sharing this and your collection with us, loved it x❤️
Somewhere in the back of my head lives the image of myself in ripped jeans, a white shirt and a red jumbo - but I’m slowly letting go of it. It’s just not worth the current horrendous price and Chanel in general isn’t terribly appealing either. Those seams on your new bags are shocking.
I feel the same. It was always my dream to own a Chanel bag one day, but I have no desire to purchase anything from them as it's poor quality, overpriced and cheap looking ☹️
Live your dream.... but with a preloved or vintage bag ❤️
I can imagine this look and it sounds so chic! Go vintage, you’ll get more for your money, better quality and I personally love the 80s/90s versions xxx
Just get a red woc for that effect or even red ysl.I used to have the same vision plus bronzed face with matching red lips 😍
Vintage is definitely the way to go if I do it. 💕
Love all your Chanel bags. These 2 new purchases are as cute as cute, but I agree they need exchanging. I bought a bag that had wonky stitching and my sales associate just said no probs, get you a new one. Hope you get a simple change or refund. 💜
Chanel starts to be fast fashion. Quality is not there for the price. Thank you for sharing💜
Wow! The quality is going down big time in Chanel as the prices continue to rise. Pretty incredible. Thanks for showing us!! 😘😘
dh gate after this video 📈 📈
Hi Sophie! I am SO SO SO glad that you don’t like the “Boy” bag, because neither do I!! My Mum has one and I thought it looked fake, so I bought her the classic flap on my 2nd visit to NY!! -So, she mainly uses that one now! I love my bucket bag too! I have a bigger one though, but I also have the Gabrielle (which I DO actually love!) -and a large tote. As for those new bags with the funny seams, -I would take them back because it’s so badly made, people might think it’s fake! (& you don’t want that!) You know, the first piece of Chanel clothing I bought was from the Chanel shop in Harrods in 2003! It was a divine pair a black Chanel pants with silver tabs on the outer knees! I just cringe as I remember not being able to travel anymore!! I love it so much, but being here in Australia, I can’t go anywhere ATM & it’s KILLING ME!! Stay safe and have a fabulous week! Kirstey xx
Wow, that craftsmanship is straight up embarrassing. And they have the gall to ask people to pay more for decreased quality. Shameful.
Thank you so much for putting Chanel's quality, workmanship issues ON BLAST!!!
For the hair issue with the Boy bag, I now feel very clever for having completely shaved my head 😂
Sophie, well put,it's amazing that chanel justs makes so many errors quality related and expects to be well regarded, you explain it perfectly abt the stiching,uneven,off centered,ect.Its so sad,the new pieces are so attractive.I'm so glad you make these videos, you keep it so honest,where is the quality control,embarrassing that they would let these go.Thank you again for your videos, ~Abby
When it comes to chanel I think it's best to stick to the classics - can't believe the quality and price of those small leather goods at the end wow 😳
Bought a pair of denim CC espadrilles with sloppy stitching! Returned for second pair and also had a defect- gave up and passed on item!
Had this problem with LV bags. I finally found one that didn't have any defects.
They look so counterfeit! That's shocking!
On a positive I adore your yellow coco handle. Pastel yellow is my favourite 💛
That’s insane ! This need to go viral so people see that Chanel is stealing your money !
I love your collection, Sophie.... and your honest reviews!
It is as if they don't even bother with quality control. Shocking at those prices. It does looks fake. The bit where the zipper meets looks odd also. The wrist bag actually looks worn! I feel for you.
Thank you for the video!
