My mind is absolutely blown that people are still spending their money on Chanel bags. First, the quality does not match the price (not even CLOSE). Second, customers are treated like chumps by the Chanel employees. Time to let this brand go.
I very recently ordered an ostrich Louis Vuitton Pocket Organizer. My SA let me know that it had arrived and they brought it out and said we haven't opened it we wanted to open it wth you. So they did and I immediately saw a mark on the leather. It was a tiny mark but still it was damaged. They could not have been nicer about it. They immediately started appologizing and said this is unacceptable, this never should have been sent out. They said we will find another one and have this here in three days. Its sad that Chanel treats people like that. Its not a luxury experience at all.
This is why I love Louis Vuitton. They repaired my bag for free with no issues because the edges of the straps were "melting" due to the glazing they used. Took a while because this was back during Covid, but much better customer service, in my opinion.
Agree, LV is great. They have something for everyone, and I have never had an issue with quality on anything I have purchased -- and I have a variety of types of bags from them.
Honestly speaking, Chanel bags are more delicate. Although the inner linings are leathers in my vintage Chanel’s, I am afraid to strength the pockets with cell phones or keys. Color transfers are expected on light colored lambskins. The bottom of Chanel bags are not structured as we need to carry light or use a base liner . People said Hermes bags are more durable. Actually, most of their leathers are thicker and can sag and become slouchy looking. My Hermes closure (coated with platinum) also has a lot of lite scratches. I guess these bags are very delicate. Not like gold jewelries which could last forever. Maybe invest in gold jewelries instead of luxury bags? 😂
Yeah, I'm sorry you had this experience. This is why I cannot get into Hermes and Chanel with their games. The way the sales associates just don't care because they can just sell it to another. Only way to make all this stop is that we don't purchase from the brands anymore.
Wow! Chanel will not get any of my $$ unless it’s vintage. I am hearing nothing but quality issues with their bags. I know they contract vendors to make quite a few of their bags so they do not care about quality anymore…they just want us to be like sheep and assume they still have the quality of the past. In the last 15 years they have opened up so many boutiques…..so to keep inventory in all these boutiques they started using independent contractor factories to make some of their bags….and there goes the quality. Sometime growth is not the best…as we can clearly see with their new bags.
My Black Classic Handbag with the silver metal also rusted, funny thing is I’ve take it out maybe 6 times? Bought it a year ago for over $9,500. Super disappointing trying to get anything fixed there, I stopped calling. Chanel just doesn’t care anymore.
The KKUWAN canvas tote bag actually reminds me of Hermes Garden Party, too. Thanks for making this video on suggesting more budget friendly alternatives. Love it! 😊
I really love your taste and style always so chic. 👌My faves would be the *yutulux* leather backpack and the Swarovski pave diamond ring so gorg. 💓Thank you for your recommendations.
THANK YOU so much for this video!!! We need more honesty about these newer generation "luxury" bags. I keep hearing the worst things about these 'modern' Chanel bags & their poor quality. Some people are only buying *vintage* chanel because they were clearly higher quality. For these same prices, I think the quality of Dior is much higher (so are the leather Longchamps!) & they both probably have better customer service, too. I have a medium Lady Dior that is impeccable in metallic lambskin with zero problems after 5yrs. I'm not a chanel girl at all, and thanks to your video my suspicions & hesitation to buy chanel are reaffirmed. I love that barbie pink color of your bag, but that is A LOT of trouble & inconvenience for something so expensive. Thank you for telling us what happened.
I'm so sorry that you has this experience. I.appreciate that you are willing to.share your experience. Who is keeping them in business? Those people I know that could easily. Afford these bags would NEVER spemd.their hard earned money on this junk or put up with the.ignorance of the sales person . I'd love to know who buys this.sruff..
Sorry to hear about your experience with a recent Chanel bag you got. This bag doesn’t seem to bring joy to you anymore so I would recommend getting preloved & getting your current bag repaired to it’s best condition as possible & just sell it off to refinance a preloved Chanel instead. I just got a preloved Chanel Jumbo CF that’s made in 2011 aka 13 YO & it’s still in pristine condition. Has this super nice subtle leather smell too even after so many years. Best thing is it’s a third of the current retail price. I have been using it as my daily office bag & loving it! ❤
I''m so sorry, what a disaster! I have a vintage caviar rectangle sakura pink from 2013.Highly recommend you go pre-loved. I have been told not to buy anything post 2020 because of quality issues .I owned a mini square 21p but I sold it unused because I had heard such bad things.I lost $1,000 but it could have been worse.
This bag is probably +- $100 of leather and $150 in crafting, meaning you pay $4.000 for a $250 bag. And for that huge premium they can't even offer decent quality and decent customer care.
Historically the manufacture was so slow and thorough by such great artisans, that the bag was special. I have a vintage 2.55 and it was made in 70s and it is so special. But now, they treat customers with contempt.
#amzlv: Hydro: The canvas tote actually reminds me of the Hermes Garden Party too. Thanks for making this video to suggest more budget friendly alternatives. love it!
Thank you for posting this video. You were treated very badly in the first instance, there is no excuse for a retailer to do this. The pink bag is not a deal colour for you with your deep rich colour, so needs an adjustment and thought when you wear it. My commiserations.
Your shopping experience is extremely similar to mine. The fakes are so much better in quality than the real ones. When it comes to the bag staining on the back, that happens with any leather bag that is lighter in color if it rubs against dark pants. I asked the Chanel employee about the bags breaking and they openly admitted that their handbags break often in less than a year of wear, people are in for repairs, and after a year you have to pay for repairs yourself. I bought earrings and the same thing happened twice with the earrings, two different styles.
My friend also bought sunglasses there and they fell apart very quickly. So with this brand I would never go past their makeup/fragrance/skincare. I think that is where they shine and that’s it.
That’s Chanel for you. Lol 😂 even though we know about their bad quality and customer service we are still addicted to buying them. 😂 Lot of Chanel handbags are uneven. One of my mini with top handle is little uneven also. I couldn't exchange or return because I passed the 14 days policy and I was told it’s hand made, so it’s not always going to be perfect. 😂 The handbag is very cute but I’m little ocd so it bothers me. I really hope I don’t buy any more Chanel’s either. Even though I thought I wanted a metallic gold on my collection. I don’t really need it and I barely use any of my handbags.
I can't believe people still waste their money on these luxury brands that treat you like shit! That is an insane story. The bag in the video totally looks like a Primark bag as you said.
Oh my goodness what an absolute disaster!! I’m so sorry you had to go through this. The way you were treated is not acceptable. Not to mention the disgraceful quality of the bag. Mine is several years old now but I believe as time has gone on the quality has diminished.
How crazy that the super fakes are now like too perfect! And the real ones are the ones with imperfections , slanted, have some stitching issues… I noticed it with some of my chanel 😭😭😭
I purchased a beige top handle bag last year and the handle and chain completely snapped off. I brought it back and it took 3 months to fix. A few months later, the exact same thing happened again. I have no faith in Chanel's quality anymore.
It’s a fragile bag, delicate calfskin in a very light color. So of course color transfer with jeans (everyone knows it…), the stitches thing is a real problem but it was fixed… This bag is light and not eternal. I don’t know how it has been used but it’s normal to get scratches and wrinkles on the leather… If you can’t afford it don’t buy it ;) save yourself the trouble or just accept the fact that it’s just a bag… you won’t pass it down to your children or get rich thanx to it.
Oh my gosh girl I feel so sorry for you... that bag is horrible... I own three vintage Chanel's one is a 24 cm flap bag and I've got to say it is in better condition than that one and I think it was made in the 1980s... Although there is a bit of that uneven side bulge on mine as well but I will forgive it for its age... I don't blame you for being upset over that bag it looks ugly... I can't believe Chanel is putting out such a rubbish product... Shame on them for not refunding you
I can’t believe THE MANAGER tried to convince you to get a DEFECTED bag. That’s horrible sooo horrible. Because I’m sure some people feel embarrassed to say no. But they actually tried. Also a shame that the SA you talked to didn’t send you a picture of the bag you were thinking of. So sorry that happened to you. Exactly the price of Chanel with the inconsistent quality AND service is so disappointing.
Im sorry for your experience, but I dont think you can blame Chanel for the color transfer. We're not suppose to carry light colored bags with dark wash jeans any way. It WIL transfer. But yes, Chanel's customer service is not really the best.... ☹
Yes, but it was mentioned that the colour transfer only occurs because the lambskin leather they use is of the lowest quality possible, with lots of processing and coating. High quality lamb leather doesn’t get any colour transfer
@@Lelosiinot true, Jeans leak their dye and it even transfers to human skin, let alone hide. Lamb skin is almost like suede, picks up whatever it rubs against.
What? A six thousand dollar bag and you think it’s down to the consumer? That is absurd. Colour transfer is always the sign of poor quality treatment and finishing of leather. No reputable leather company permits it. Do you work for Chanel?
LOL!! "When it's closed no one will notice it [reckless stitch work]" Oh Wow!!! I'm so sorry to hear of your experience. The Chanel at Saks NYC is even worse as they look down on you for even entering the store! And at Chanel on 57th - the worst!!!! The attendants lounge on seats and won't get up to show you anything = total attitude. People say it's NYC. Hey!!!!!! Those days of being socially acceptable to treat people badly in upscale NYC are gone! Has anyone noticed all the empty vacant stores that once had attitude sales clerks! Bonwit Teller was the worst in the 1980s. B. Altman's was horrendous as was Lord & Taylor, Henry Bendel, Barney's (they also lounged around and failed to acknowledge you), and on and on. Bergdorf Goodman is perhaps the only store to greet you in their Chanel boutique with sincerity and a nice demeanor - if in the USA in NYC for Chanel go to Bergdorf Goodman!!!!! On level 1 and level 3 I believe for their 2 boutiques.
The quality of Chanel bags has been garbage for YEARS, even before Karl Lagerfeld died. This kind of quality would be okay is it was less than $200, but ITS OVER $4,000. Honestly, I've been telling people to buy Chanel replicas. They are MUCH better quality for a fraction of the price. Chanel does not deserve people's hard earned money if they are going to put out bags with defects and put the blame on THE CUSTOMER. The audacity!
I don't understand why do you guys keep rewarding Chanel with your money knowing all of the quality issues with their bags. if you the customer Stop rewarding Chanel for bad quality they will listen.
@@Lelosiitbh I have the mini rectangle and it does look kinda cheap… it’s a real one but I felt silly after spending money on it. the only reason I’m not selling it is because it goes up on prices.
I read that companies, such as Chanel, are manufacturing an “influencer line” in China. They grade their customers and certain ones get the China line, whereas others get the French (better) line. It has to do with the broader issue of French culture and the perceived preservation of it.
I would agree with you that the AA replicas are better quality. That is just sad. Time to move on to other brands. I recently noticed some glazing issues on my LV neonoe that's 1.5 years old and went to the store. They offered to exchange it for any style. Although I feel like their quality has also gone down, at least the customer service is there.
No matter if it's the *yutulux* or any other, my steadfast belief stands that only practitioners can perceive dissimilarities in the sack looks or the metal constituents.
It really makes you wonder if manufacturing poor quality bags could be Chanel's strategy of weeding out their less than desirable clientele, (i.e. all of us)
I have both authentic and rep Chanel bags. I’ve noticed that the rep ones are actually made better with straighter stitches and aligned flaps better than my authentic ones….. I have since stopped buying authentic Chanel once I noticed this.
Im hearing alot of complaints from french boutiques not sure why that is maybe because its really busy there??? Its the same thing in the hospital people are rude because its just soooo busy and everyone has a critical condition and everybody wants to be served first, the SAs are only human, they might be overworked and underpaid, heck they might not even give a crap about a “bag” they re not educated with the craftsmanship they dont know that the stitching should be aligned they dont know what leather it is.. for you and me since we love the history of these brands and appreciate craftsmanship, its just unfortunate that we didnt get to experience what it used to be back in the days when these brands were actually prestigious and stood to their craftsmanship and quality, but i shop at the orlando millenia mall boutique all the time ive had no problems, they even replaced my chanel 22 bag because the hardware chipped off and the leather on the sides started to peel after a year i repeat A YEAR and they still replaced it, these bags have warranty which you electronically sign for, i dont knof if your boutique have you register for it but the SAs in orlando makes sure you do it after you purchase a bag especially its kina like buying a vehicle or a gun where you have the VIN number registered to you.. and thats how it should be not sure why boutiques in europe dont do that
It’s only for 2 years. After 2 not anymore and you have to pay for it if you want to send it in for repair. The stiching problems also happened after 1 year. But the tarnishing not and I cannot bring it in anymore without paying an arm and a ley
I haven't bought anything from Chanel since 2016 and I absolutely refuse to. The two bags I had from then are still in wonderful condition, but the absolute horror stories that I hear from everyone else that buys the newer bags, especially since Covid, just wow. I'm not surprised by your bag having all these issues. It's so common now. There's so many eleged stories going around as well that they're actually Italian sweat shops where the bags are made now with leather they don't know the origin of. For the insane price point and the continued price increases, and decrease in quality, Chanel will remain dead to me until they change. I'm tired of most of the luxury game now. YSL make some good bags, as does Celine, but they also have quality issues. I've had flaps that sounded like asthma when I lifted them, crooked flaps, crooked clasps and hardware etc. It's just not ok for these prices. I went through 6 Celine Triomphes until I got one that was made almost perfectly.
@ *lvguci* The canvas tote actually reminds me of the Hermes Garden Party too. Thanks for making this video to suggest more budget friendly alternatives. love it!
😂 haha no quality magic wanted. But we do expect good service and no faulty bags with tarnished hardware 😁 Every designer item you pay for it’s name, but usually people pay a little extra because it’s name is known for its quality and unique design.
Maybe Chanel is like Apple,the bag is made to use for 1 year and then you need to buy another model next year. If they make bags that last a long time they won’t being to sale us fan a lot of bags.
This story makes my blood boil. So low respect towards women buying luxury. I guess if the man was talking you would have gotten a different experience because they get intimidated by a man's capacity for aggression. I think there is no point talking to SA, you're on your own finding out defaults and think about how to talk and get good arguments for your case. My tip, write a note upfront with your point in it
Merci, sorry this is😊 very ba😊d quality to know, I prefer karl lagerfeld lambskin leather. This is why I disapprove of chanel leather quality, I think it cost cutting.
My mind is absolutely blown that people are still spending their money on Chanel bags. First, the quality does not match the price (not even CLOSE). Second, customers are treated like chumps by the Chanel employees. Time to let this brand go.
I only buy Chanel Vintage & Prelove. Unique pieces that last for decades!
@@leebeaute I will get that in Paris
Chanel CAs in my city (Brisbane) are accommodating to their customers. My CA gave me a clip to use to shorten the strap of my WOC. She is amazing.
And let’s highlight the fact that Chanel wants their medium flap to retail at $20,000 Canadian dollars in the next 5 years!! UNBELIEVABLE!!
My fake is much better than my 2 chanel bags never never again will l pay $8,000 to be treated like crap
My best bag is the fake that was $250.00
This is jaw dropping! 🤪
@@elainelewis4959IKR, walk into the store & legit the service is so crap.
Honestly EVERYONE needs to BAN CHANEL. Let them fix their quality AND lower their prices. Money talks!
I know you cant afford one but come on lol they wont ever ban this brand
@@dangela3039it’s possible, the new generation can make or break a brand!
Agree. They need to lie in the bed they have made for a while and learn to appreciate their clients again and address quality issues.
Nope
Yes.......
How heinous that they treat customers like this. Stop giving money to giant corporations that think you’re stupid.
I very recently ordered an ostrich Louis Vuitton Pocket Organizer. My SA let me know that it had arrived and they brought it out and said we haven't opened it we wanted to open it wth you. So they did and I immediately saw a mark on the leather. It was a tiny mark but still it was damaged. They could not have been nicer about it.

Love LV, they are practical for everyday use
They charged me €150 to change the zip because the textile part of the zip of torn due to the zip open and close movement
I think I can spot a fake bag now, it will look too good to be the real thing 🤣 and I am not kidding!
🤣😂😂
I’m not kidding either, super fake Chanels are made better!
😂😂😂 so true ‼️
I have 3 😅
Ha ha fake chanel better quality than the real
Unbelievable but also believable because I’ve heard this story many times. Idk what the heck Chanel is doing.
I’ve seen some faults that shocked me. It’s hard to believe it’s this bad so fast, but I know it’s true.
Honestly speaking, Chanel bags are more delicate.

The quality of Chanel bags has been garbage for YEARS, even before Karl Lagerfeld died. This kind of quality would be okay is it was less than $200, but ITS OVER $4,000. Honestly, I've been telling people to buy Chanel replicas. They are MUCH better quality for a fraction of the price. Chanel does not deserve people's hard earned money if they are going to put out bags with defects and put the blame on THE CUSTOMER. The audacity!
I don't understand why do you guys keep rewarding Chanel with your money knowing all of the quality issues with their bags. if you the customer Stop rewarding Chanel for bad quality they will listen.
Tnx for the info. It means a lot. Not a good investment. :-) ,
Is the bag you’re holding a real Chanel bag?! Because this looks like a £100 version from eBay!! I’m so shocked at Chanel!!
Sometimes I’m wondering the same 😂 if I wouldn’t have bought it directly from the store I would think exactly that
@@Lelosiitbh I have the mini rectangle and it does look kinda cheap… it’s a real one but I felt silly after spending money on it. the only reason I’m not selling it is because it goes up on prices.
Yes, I agree.
Me too 😜😄 looks like a toy bag for kids sometimes
I read that companies, such as Chanel, are manufacturing an “influencer line” in China. They grade their customers and certain ones get the China line, whereas others get the French (better) line. It has to do with the broader issue of French culture and the perceived preservation of it.
Oh my 😂😳
That could be true though. But I feel like it’s more that they are mass produced now compared to years ago. That’s why quality declines
Awful
Where did you read this? I was trying to look online for this info!
No one forced you to drive 5 hours to buy a handbag. 🙄
😅
I really like the *luxdups* pack. Brought it to America and loved everything about it. Good quality and low price.
Right now Chanel due to price/quality is only worth it if buying vintage.
I would agree with you that the AA replicas are better quality. That is just sad. Time to move on to other brands. I recently noticed some glazing issues on my LV neonoe that's 1.5 years old and went to the store. They offered to exchange it for any style. Although I feel like their quality has also gone down, at least the customer service is there.
You paid 4000 $ for a 35€ bag… So they said on French TV in 2012.
No matter if it's the *yutulux* or any other, my steadfast belief stands that only practitioners can perceive dissimilarities in the sack looks or the metal constituents.
It really makes you wonder if manufacturing poor quality bags could be Chanel's strategy of weeding out their less than desirable clientele, (i.e. all of us)
That might be it
I have both authentic and rep Chanel bags. I’ve noticed that the rep ones are actually made better with straighter stitches and aligned flaps better than my authentic ones….. I have since stopped buying authentic Chanel once I noticed this.
😁👍🏼
What a shame your experience was terrible, its a lovely colour however
I love the colour too 🤩🩷
Nooooo! Horrible service to a low quality bag! Chanel is going downhill
Im hearing alot of complaints from french boutiques not sure why that is maybe because its really busy there??? Its the same thing in the hospital people are rude because its just soooo busy and everyone has a critical condition and everybody wants to be served first, the SAs are only human, they might be overworked and underpaid, heck they might not even give a crap about a “bag” they re not educated with the craftsmanship they dont know that the stitching should be aligned they dont know what leather it is.. for you and me since we love the history of these brands and appreciate craftsmanship, its just unfortunate that we didnt get to experience what it used to be back in the days when these brands were actually prestigious and stood to their craftsmanship and quality, but i shop at the orlando millenia mall boutique all the time ive had no problems, they even replaced my chanel 22 bag because the hardware chipped off and the leather on the sides started to peel after a year i repeat A YEAR and they still replaced it, these bags have warranty which you electronically sign for, i dont knof if your boutique have you register for it but the SAs in orlando makes sure you do it after you purchase a bag especially its kina like buying a vehicle or a gun where you have the VIN number registered to you.. and thats how it should be not sure why boutiques in europe dont do that
It’s only for 2 years. After 2 not anymore and you have to pay for it if you want to send it in for repair.
The stiching problems also happened after 1 year. But the tarnishing not and I cannot bring it in anymore without paying an arm and a ley
Amei todas as bolsas lindas e de muito bom gosto.Parabens #lvguci 😘😘😘
Sorry that happened. Chanel is a waste now
I haven't bought anything from Chanel since 2016 and I absolutely refuse to. The two bags I had from then are still in wonderful condition, but the absolute horror stories that I hear from everyone else that buys the newer bags, especially since Covid, just wow. I'm not surprised by your bag having all these issues. It's so common now. There's so many eleged stories going around as well that they're actually Italian sweat shops where the bags are made now with leather they don't know the origin of. For the insane price point and the continued price increases, and decrease in quality, Chanel will remain dead to me until they change. I'm tired of most of the luxury game now. YSL make some good bags, as does Celine, but they also have quality issues. I've had flaps that sounded like asthma when I lifted them, crooked flaps, crooked clasps and hardware etc. It's just not ok for these prices. I went through 6 Celine Triomphes until I got one that was made almost perfectly.
Thanks for sharing your experience with Chanel. I will not buy it.
That is awful, I hate you had to go through all that. Can you tell me the name of the product that helps get color transfer out of leather?
Cadillac cleaner. First start with baby wipes and then use a little bit of the Cadillac cleaner.
Thank you my dear, I appreciate it. Happy Holidays @@Lelosii 🥰
I think I had the same bag from 21s neón pink! Quality orrible. I sold it
@ *lvguci* The canvas tote actually reminds me of the Hermes Garden Party too. Thanks for making this video to suggest more budget friendly alternatives. love it!
Since Karl died, the brand has made a steady decline over to where Virginie lives....in the gutter.
Dear..you're buying chanel's name, there is no quality magic that you can't get from another 500 USD bag, sorry but that's the truth
😂 haha no quality magic wanted. But we do expect good service and no faulty bags with tarnished hardware 😁
Every designer item you pay for it’s name, but usually people pay a little extra because it’s name is known for its quality and unique design.
The "name" is only desirable in the first place because of their reputation of quality.
Thank you someone had to tell her. Just because it’s expensive doesn’t mean you’ll get a super quality bag every time.
En el momento en que vi el bolso *yutulu* supe que tenía que tenerlo.
It is simple.Stop buying chanel
Buy pre love 💕 Chanel can dig their own grave
En el momento en que vi el bolso *yutulux*, supe que tenía que tenerlo.
Wow wow wow no words …. Unacceptable!
Thank you so much KKUWAN for taking us shopping🛍…my wish list just got longer🤦♀
From a distance at least it is very pretty, for consolation.
These brands are just not worth it anymore
Maybe Chanel is like Apple,the bag is made to use for 1 year and then you need to buy another model next year. If they make bags that last a long time they won’t being to sale us fan a lot of bags.
I feel bad for people getting such a bad service and quality but I don’t understand why the people are still buying Chanel 😓.
I do too. I’ve always gotten beautiful bags from them. Mine are great an I will continue purchasing.
I've seen a Chinese replica that is truly best quality although fake. Sorry about your experience.
Where’d you see it?
I'll stick to Portland leather goods and urban southern. No more chanel! I sold my bag
These bags are ugly, but in case the quality was supreme, I'd say okay. But if there are quality problems, why would anyone buy them?
I’m totally over them
This story makes my blood boil. So low respect towards women buying luxury. I guess if the man was talking you would have gotten a different experience because they get intimidated by a man's capacity for aggression. I think there is no point talking to SA, you're on your own finding out defaults and think about how to talk and get good arguments for your case. My tip, write a note upfront with your point in it
The price is mainly for the Name. Not for the quality nor customer service.
Merci, sorry this is😊 very ba😊d quality to know, I prefer karl lagerfeld lambskin leather. This is why I disapprove of chanel leather quality, I think it cost cutting.
The problem is chanel wants to be like Hermes but they don’t offer the repair services or have Hermes quality.
No they really it’s a completely different aesthetic
Do not buy more Chanel bags
