    Hi! This video is so helpful, especially the part that explains the serial numbers. As Chanel quality has decreased in recent years, what years were the best quality flap bags made?

      There was a very recent documentary and they were interviewing very well-off women. These women were speaking about how they no longer purchase authentic purses and have chosen to purchase really good *esluxscom* of the designer bags that they do like. They then take that saved money and invest their money into other things such as real estate, stocks etc.

    Ive seen recent classic flaps in the boutique where the inner linings have bubbles. For example a bag I saw the inner lining bottom of the bag has air filled in it...

      Thank you for doing this! Lots of good info.If you can, please list good websites or places to find *esluxscom* , you know, Hermes is so selective.Also, would love to see something about Lady Dior. I have to say, my heart broke a little when you said “Oh, Prada does these as well”, regarding the serial number. (I’m a nurse, so I probably shouldn’t even dream about owning a Birkin, but I bought my first Prada earlier this year and I was so proud of it. Now it feels a bit like Dollar General ).

    I bought a second hand medium size CF gold bag, everything look authentic based on what you mentioned in this video. I’m only wondering if the strap is a bit too short. What is the length of the strap supposed to be? Mine is only 112cm or 45.5 inches long.

    • @gorillasinheels
      @gorillasinheels  Před 3 měsíci

      Thanks for sharing. When it is single strapped, the length from the top to midpoint for the classic medium flap is around 43cm/ 17 inches.

    I juz bought a Chanel Classic Flap in black cavier from Chanel Boutique in Paris, in June 2023, should i be worry or ask for some services to fix the bag strap as i noticed the end of the leather strap within the metal chain is not sewed down/ secured firmly? It looks a bit like loose ends. Is this normal?

    • @gorillasinheels
      @gorillasinheels  Před 9 měsíci

      There has been quality issues with Chanel pieces in recent years. I think definitely bring it to the boutique with the original purchase receipts and ask if they can do anything about it. In the future, a small tip which I go by myself is to triple check all parts and make sure I’m 100% satisfied before I make the purchase (given how expensive it is!) hope this helps 😊

      Yup the bottom quilts should line up with the top. You need to look at it straight from the front 😊 sometimes if you look at it from the sides it may not seem like it.

      Try traveling to Tokyo Japan they sell Original lux brands for less like LV , Channel , Gucci ,Coach ,YSL etc for less its still more pricey than the fakes and still in good condition i just dont know how the costoms works in the USA if they will still tax you 2nd hand lux items but sure either buy the brand new *esluxscom* you want or travel half the world away to buy 2nd hand lux items for few days that also includes your plane ticket hotel accomodations for how many days food and goodie stuffs for families and friends and other expencess but they said " original LV Bag from Japan for less " or just travel to Bangkok thailand and visit the Platinum Mall buy as many replica bags all you want w/o the hassel

    Where do you even go to get a Chanel bag authenticated. I went to my local Chanel store and she said she wouldn’t be able to know how to tell if it was real or fake. I received my bag as a gift but I do want to resell it but not sure if it is the real Chanel bag
